Ange lived in a huge house inside the Nacesai Academy. Usually, the students lived in dorms with others, but due to her special status, she owned a whole house.When Ange saw Golden at the door of her house, she left at top speed and ran to hug him. She had missed Golden even more than Golden had missed her.In those years, Ange grew a lot.She was already fifteen, so she already looked like a young woman, and was very beautiful. However, her personality hadn't changed even a bit.Ange was already at the 9-star Mortal Rank, and she estimated that she would breakthrough into Rank 1 in a month, reaching Rank 1 Novice Magus.Given her talent, if she didn't focus only on healing spells, she could have reached the Rank 1 long ago, but even with perfect talent, healing spells were difficult to practice and if one wanted to reach the Rank 1 relying only on them was very difficult.Golden also felt that it was good that Ange was slow to reach the Rank 1, otherwise, in a few years, Golden woul
The Fist Battle Class first class was simple sparring among the students; the instructor randomly formed pairs, and the students battled for a whole hour.Golden's opponent was one of the biggest among all the students, but that opponent was someone who only relied on brute force. Furthermore, Golden estimated that even though the guy had such a big body, he still didn't have ten points in strength.He thought that because his opponent seemed a weakling in front of him. Golden wasn't skilled in fist techniques, but he had a good battle sense and perfect stats at his level, so the big guy wasn't enough to make Golden sweat.The big guy was frustrated as initially he thought that he got lucky to spar against Golden, the lucky kid with an influent big sister.However, he understood that even though Golden joined the academy by a shortcut and seemed to be without muscles, he wasn't weak. The big guy learned it through battle.Of course, Golden didn't use his full force nor the Bloodline F
Their wooden swords clashed, and both stepped back two steps.Golden and George were at the peak of the 1-star Mortal Rank in all the body stats, and both of them were skilled with the sword.Their battle grew more intense as the time passed, even the instructor started to pay more attention to them."I knew that asking to battle with you was the correct choice. You are the first from my generation who can compare with me in swordsmanship."As both were at the same level of swordsmanship, both were quickly improving in battle, ten minutes after the sparring started Golden's Sword Mastery reached level nine.When the class was about to end, George spoke again."There's no meaning in restraining ourselves, let's use our Sword Battle Skills!"George liked to battle against strong opponents and disliked restraining his power. However, against the other students, he needed to control himself to avoid hurting them too much.However, when battling against Golden, who was at the same level as
Golden and Zack hit the target at the same time and then asked for another target.They shot a lot of times before the class ended, but they were still unable to break the tie.When the class ended, Zack let off the bow and laughed."It seems that coming to this academy was the right choice. Finally, I found someone who can compete with me. There are too few people who practice archery, and most of them are bad at it. They didn't have any talent nor any desire to improve the archery itself. They are satisfied with following some instructions and conforming with the current status. My objective is to raise the archery again to its golden age."Golden was astounded, as previously Zack didn't give him the impression of a chatterbox, his personality seemed to have changed when he let off the bow."That would be good. Since the loss of the Ancient Archery Path, archery has gotten underestimated.""That's right, so you also know about it. Of course, you know about it! How could you be as go
"Golden... I heard that name before." After the teacher thought for a while, she remembered who Golden was. "You are Ange's little brother, Golden Penny!" Golden face became unsightly as he heard the teacher. "Teacher, I already told that my surname didn't matter..." Golden said it in a rather low voice, but they still managed to hear him. Golden didn't mind about the teacher testing his immunity as he understood the strangeness of that Passive Skill, but telling his surname after he said that it didn't matter, angered him. "Wait, with Ange, do you mean the genius healer, Ange? This kid is her little brother?" That time was Aizu, who was shocked. That was because Ange was very famous in the Nacesai Academy and even in the whole Nacesai City due to her talent. Furthermore, the story of her little brother skipping the tests to join the academy was also well known to all the students, and a lot of rumors circulated about him. However, as the tests for the elemental classes were
When the lesson finished, all the girls congratulated Aizu for her illusion spell.After that, new students started to arrive to attend the next lecture, none of the students who participated in the Light Elemental Class left because they all would attend the next class.The next scheduled lesson was the Fire Elemental Class, and that was one of the most popular ones as the fire element spells were powerful, useful, and very cool.Of course, that class had a lot of guys, so the genders became more balanced than before. Not all the clans were like the Penny clan and wanted that their male descendants became only warriors.All the people who attended the previous class were still seated in the first line while the newcomers had to sit behind them.That was one of the benefits of attending consecutive lectures. The classroom was big, and in the popular lessons, the ones at the rear had difficulty to hear and see well compared to those on the first line who had higher chances to gain unde
Golden used the Frost Claw in a liquid state rather than in the usual solid state. Thus, the Frost Claw resembled the water spell Water Hand. Anyone would think about that spell instead of thinking about the possibility of Golden using an extremely difficult to learn Combined Skill.That was one of the methods Golden thought to show his talents without seeming like a monster and was also more useful for defending against the uncontrolled fire.The true Water Hand wasn't a battle spell as its primary use was to cover the hands with water to touch very hot materials, but using it as a defense for a fire spell was also usual as it would reduce the damage dealt by the flames.Of course, Golden's Frost Claw, although in water state resembled Water Hand, it was much more powerful. They looked similar, but they were incomparable.Furthermore, Golden used all his five Origin Points to use it five times simultaneously, he never tried before, but he followed his intuition, and the result was th
The lesson resumed, and Golden chose to ignore the teacher's words and instead asked the system, as Golden's schedule was too tight, and he didn't want to wait until the end of the classes to question the system.Golden really wanted to know why the system suddenly told him about a new method for making a breakthrough in the Origin Path and also why if he already created the skill, those conditions weren't fulfilled, and the world's resonance hadn't happened.[The easiest condition to make a breakthrough to reach the Origin Level 2 is master both a Magic Skill and a Battle Skill. The same effect can happen by mastering a Combined Skill. Creating an Origin Skill is more difficult, and without lucky encounters, no one at Origin Level 1 has chances to succeed. The system only informed the user about the last method when the user became able to do it.]The system told the truth. Golden created the Origin Skill by fluke when he modified the Frost Claw, and Golden didn't know how he managed
"So what? You have engaged that guy with someone of your clan, but I have engaged Golden with my little sister, so he is almost my brother-in-law. If you want to kill him, you will die under my sword."Durgan disliked the other party, and that was a good moment to announce to more people the fact that he had engaged Golden with his sister, that way, it would be more difficult for Golden to run without trying to meet his sister before.Golden didn't like the reason Durgan gave for helping him because Durgan had used the engagement with his little sister, and that would mean more problems for him later. However, he wouldn't refuse Durgan's help because he was a powerful ally and having him as an ally was equal to having the five members of the Larken Clan as allies."Are you serious? Are you opposing to our Zhan Clan by giving shelter to a traitor?"The Zhan Clan member was enraged, he had already thought that Golden and Serka were dead, but in the end, they were alive, and even Durgan
After being teleported, Aizu was the only one who vomited due to the space-time fluctuations. The fluctuations were even stronger than when they entered the Special Realm, but the nobles were still able to support it due to their training, and Golden's managed to resist it with his skills and mental strength.The room where they appeared was enormous and had a big statue of an old man behind an altar protected by a barrier spell. No one would doubt that it was the statue of the Special Realm's creator.When Golden's group appeared, they weren't the only ones being teleported. Another three groups had also been teleported to the enormous room at the same time.One of those groups was Durgan's group with the other four members of the Larken Clan. It was expected that they managed to reach the end without too many difficulties.However, Golden's group attention focused on another group, Heruk's group. They had also reached the final area, but there was one more person in their group than
The group returned to the tunnel and continued walking for four days until reaching the exit.Thanks to their trap detecting artifacts, they didn't face any problem in those days. Furthermore, all of them used that time to train their Stone Golem spell. After all, using it in an environment full of the earth element was easier.The day they left the tunnel, Golden had managed to improve it until the third level. He didn't know what level Hyrk had reached, but his golem was the best by a huge margin from the others. Hyrk finally was able to show off after all that happened in the Special Realm.The only legacy that suited him before was the Fire Shield, but due to Aizu's incident, he didn't get too much attention by his speed in learning it, and he couldn't use that kind of skill while walking with the others because he could harm his companions.[Vitality points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.][Strength points increased to 30 thanks to the sub-quest reward.]After lea
The golems were troublesome opponents as they didn't feel pain and could restore themselves automatically. Battling with them was even more exasperating than fighting with Golden as his regenerative speed was slower than the speed of the golems, and his tolerance to pain was also inferior because the golems couldn't feel pain at all.Furthermore, their defenses were extremely strong, so weak attacks didn't have any effect on themBattling with swords alone wasn't enough to destroy them. Everyone needed to use their best Combined Skills, and even using them, it was still difficult to damage the golems.There were two ways to create a golem. One was with the caster supplying the golem with magic directly. In that case, the golem would be eternal as long as the magic provided by the caster didn't stop.The main weakness of the first type was that the caster didn't have an unlimited supply of magic and could get exhausted. Furthermore, if the caster died, the golem would also disappear.T
Aizu didn't know what to say as she hadn't expected that outcome. If she had known that Durgan would offer his sister to Golden, she wouldn't have opened her mouth.She immediately disliked Durgan because she felt that he was selling his sister and made her remember how her own clan sold her. However, she had to admit that being sold to a genius like Golden was better than being sold to a lewd old man, but she was still against forced marriages.Seeing Aizu's strange face, Durgan added some more words."My sister's bloodline can't be cut off. The purity of her is something unheard in the clan, so she needs to have descendants. That is a benefit for the whole clan. She understands the reasons, and she had already accepted them before we started to look for a suitable partner for her."Durgan felt normal that commoner girls had a bad impression of him after seeing him offering his sister to someone he had just met. Thus, he tried to explain the situation better. Even if it was just a mi
"Greetings, Durgan. Really what a coincidence. You are right. We are also looking for a legacy here."Kermu was happy that the other party was Durgan's group. If it weren't for the Larken Clan's order that forced their five members to group together, Kermu would have invited some of them to his group."I see that you have two new members in your group, you should have recruited them among the commoners, right? Are they good enough to move you?"Kermu couldn't tell Golden's true identity as a Zhan Clan's descendant, and he also didn't want to tell Golden's prowess with the sword. If they knew about it, even revealing his status as a member of the Zhan Clan wouldn't stop the Larken Clan's interest in him."The boy is called Golden, he appeared in the same place as our group and wasn't affected by the space-time passage. He showed a good moral character, so we decided to recruit him."Kermu didn't dare to lie because the Larken Clan hate liars, and they were good at detecting lies, but t
After Aizu woke up and Serka confirmed that she didn't have health issues, Golden lost one of the two main worries he had after the volcanic cave incident.At that moment, he could finally focus on his other worry, his new sub-quest.After finishing the previous one, a new one appeared as usual, but it was completely different from the other sub-quests he had in the past.[Sub-quest details not available. Reward: Unknown.]With that kind of description, Golden didn't know what he would need to do to complete the sub-quest.The last sub-quest was easy to understand and very easy to accomplish in his current situation. The contrast with the one following it was too big.The sub-quests had been quite normal before entering into the Special Realm, but the two sub-quests that appeared inside were different than usual.After all, if Golden hadn't gone to the Special Realm, there was no way he could kill someone, even if that person were evil. The laws of the Nacesai Academy would restrict h
The group started to walk again because they had the intention of leaving the volcanic zone as soon as possible. Golden was again carrying Aizu on his back because everyone had accepted that she joined them as part of the group. The main reason was that Golden wasn't willing to leave her alone, and the nobles didn't want to separate from Golden. That time the change of area wasn't as abrupt as before. From a volcano, they reached a mountain range. There, the terrain was still tricky, but at least the heat issues disappeared, so all of them felt better than before. On the second day after starting walking, when the group had just reached the mountain range, Aizu finally woke up. Aizu asked that while being half asleep because she didn't recognize the surroundings and didn't remember what had happened to her. Golden looked at Aizu when he heard her voice. At that moment, the group was resting, and Aizu wasn't on Golden's back. "I was starting to think that you will remain sleepin
Hyrk looked at the guy's corpse."We shouldn't waste the resources he has with him, let's loot the corpse."To Hyrk, that was normal. If the opponent is already dead, the killer should pick up his belongings. The nobles were used to do that after killing their opponents, even though the dead ones were mostly powerless people who had offended their clans."Golden, you are lucky today! This guy has a spatial artifact, although its quality is bad!"After finishing his sentence, Hyrk threw a ring to Golden.Hyrk knew that Golden didn't have a spatial artifact and that he needed one.Moreover, Golden was the one who risked his life to kill the guy, so the rewards also belonged to him, Hyrk wouldn't try to get a share without having participated in the killing.If Golden obtained something that Hyrk needed from the dead guy, Hyrk would ask to make a transaction for another thing of the same value.That was also a rule the nobles had to avoid internal strife, although not all of them followe
