The thought of finally having a way to control the Frostborn Physique—a condition that had tormented her for years—was almost too much to comprehend. She had spent so long in pain, her life dictated by the whims of her body, and now, this man claimed to have the answer she had been searching for.Her gaze fixed on Danial, she tried to steady her thoughts, her mind racing with possibilities and doubts. Could she really trust him? The weight of his claims pressed down on her, and she realized just how much was at stake.With trembling eyes, she finally spoke, her voice laced with a mixture of hope and fear, "Danial, do you understand the weight of those words? Do you have any idea what would happen if whatever you said is not true but false?" Her tone was sharp, almost accusatory, To be perfectly honest, Danial did feel intimidated. The enormity of what he was offering wasn't lost on him. But he took a steadying breath, drawing strength from the knowledge that had been passed down to h
He had a singular goal in mind: to learn more about the cultivation techniques he desperately needed. His thoughts were focused on Marvin, his mentor, who always seemed to have the answers. Determined, Danial quickly got ready and set out to find Marvin.After a quick breakfast, Danial left his dorm and made his way toward Marvin's quarters. The academy grounds were still relatively quiet, with only a few early risers moving about. As he approached the main entrance of the academy, he noticed something unusual—a large crowd had gathered. Drawn by the spectacle, Danial veered off course to see what was happening.The crowd was thick, and Danial had to navigate his way through, finally finding a spot where he could get a better view. A path had been cleared, forming a walkway through the center of the crowd leading towards the academy's main gates. It was clear that someone important was expected. Danial's curiosity was piqued as he wondered who they were waiting for and what the gathe
The representatives of Emsgate, alongside their entourage, moved with a sense of purpose as they headed directly to Hall Alpha. This hall, the most prestigious in the academy, was reserved for only the most significant events and visitors. Elysia and Oliver had personally come to welcome the delegation, understanding the importance of showing respect to these foreign representatives.Elysia, known far and wide as the God of War, was determined to keep her composure. As she walked beside Oliver, her mind was already working to suppress her irritation. She could sense the arrogance emanating from the Emsgate representatives, but she knew better than to let her emotions dictate her actions. "I must control my temper in front of them," she thought, her expression remaining calm. "Their personalities are arrogant to the core, but I will not give them the satisfaction of seeing me lose control."Upon reaching the stage in Hall Alpha, Elysia took the lead. With a warm, yet formal smile, she
Tanya was lost in thought, replaying the scene of Danial wielding such incredible power, when a voice snapped her back to reality.Just then, a voice snapped her out of her reverie. "Tanya, what are you doing?"Startled, Tanya turned around quickly, instinctively dissipating her protective shield as she faced the voice's source. It was Diego, the man with glasses, one of her fellow representatives from Emsgate. He was looking at her with a curious expression, his eyes narrowing slightly as he adjusted his glasses."I was looking at something," Tanya replied, trying to keep her voice steady as she masked her earlier surprise. She wasn’t sure if she should mention what she had seen. There was something about Danial that intrigued her, and she wasn’t ready to share it just yet.Diego raised his glasses slightly, his gaze studying her for a moment longer before he spoke again. "Alright, we have to go. The tour is almost over, and we’re expected back with the rest of the delegation."Tanya
Danial remained kneeling, his knee pressing into the cold floor of the headmaster’s office. His heart pounded in his chest, and the weight of the headmaster’s presence was crushing. Every instinct told him to remain still, to not even think about looking up. But curiosity got the better of him.Summoning what little courage he had left, Danial began to lift his head, hoping to catch a glimpse of the headmaster's face. However, as his gaze inched upward, an unbearable pain suddenly seared through his mind, like hot needles being driven into his skull. He winced, his vision swimming as the pain intensified, forcing him to lower his head once more while he gritted his teeth.Frustration welled up inside him, mingling with the pain. He wanted to see the man who held such power over him, the one who had summoned him to this place, but no matter how hard he tried, the headmaster’s face remained an indecipherable blur. It was as though some invisible force was deliberately obscuring his feat
Danial woke up the next morning and had a healthy breakfast in the academy's common cafeteria. After that, he went straight ahead toward training. However as he was walking, he noticed the Emsgate representatives walk past him. He ignored them but a voice came through,"Hey are you Danial?"Danial paused mid-step, turning his head slightly to see who had spoken. The girl with the white eyes and tied hair was looking directly at him, a small smile playing on her lips. Danial’s brow furrowed in confusion. Surely she wasn’t talking to him, right? He glanced around, hoping to find someone else who might have caught her attention, but the hallway was empty except for them.The girl giggled, a sound that seemed almost musical in the stillness of the corridor. "Yes, I’m talking to you."Danial turned fully to face her, his expression puzzled as he pointed to himself. "Me?"The girl nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, you’re Danial, aren’t you?"Danial felt a flicker of unease. How did she know
Leonard finally received his discharge papers from the academy’s medical area. After what felt like an eternity spent bedridden, he was more than eager to get back into training. He needed to vent his frustrations, and the training area seemed like the perfect place to do that.As Leonard made his way toward the training grounds, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of voices coming from a secluded corner near the entrance. He recognized one of the voices almost immediately—it was filled with anger, frustration, and an unmistakable bitterness. Leonard slowed his pace, his curiosity piqued, and carefully approached the source of the voices. The speakers were hidden behind a row of thick bushes, but their words were clear."That bitch, I’m not going to let him go," the voice snarled, dripping with venom.Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he peeked through the foliage. It was Leo, the Emsgate representative who had crossed paths with Danial earlier. Next to him stood Diego, the guy with t
As the Rolls-Royce Phantom glided smoothly along the private road leading to the Kirk Mansion, Danial gazed out the window, his breath catching at the sight before him. The Kirk Mansion, a sprawling estate stretching endlessly over the horizon, loomed in the distance. It wasn't just the sheer size of the mansion that captivated him but the intricate details of its architecture—majestic towers, elegant balconies, and superb columns that spoke of old-world charm mixed with modern luxury.But what truly caught his attention was not just the sheer scale of the mansion, but the multiple layers of security they passed through as they approached. Guard posts were stationed at intervals along the road, each manned by stern-looking guards who scrutinized the vehicles with intense vigilance.Turning his head, Danial glanced at Crystal sitting comfortably beside him, completely unfazed by the extensive security measures. Her calm demeanor, as if this was just another ordinary day, contrasted sha
