Sainac overlooked a lot of things Heruk did in the past, but that wasn't because he had feared his ancestor. He merely wanted to avoid internal strife inside the city that outsiders could use to attack. After all, the academy would still suffer some loses, and losing the strongest clan while also weakening the academy would create a great chance for the outsiders to attack.However, Sainac was asked by the Mysterious Expert to take care of Ange. If she were turned into a slave of that arrogant kid, Sainac didn't doubt about the future of the whole city. If the Mysterious Expert was angry, Nacesai City might disappear from the world. Heruk was courting death with his words.Heruk was shocked when he heard the chairman defending Ange and threatening him. He wasn't used to hearing that type of words.However, he didn't dare to say anymore because Sainac could kill him before his ancestor managed to notice something was wrong. Although he believed that his ancestor would avenge him, he di
As Golden left the stage, the referee announced the next match.It was between Aizu and Lor.Lor had already stepped on the stage, but Golden stopped Aizu from doing the same.Golden said it with a cold voice, very different from his usual self. Aizu noticed it, but she thought that Golden was underestimating her."Why? Do you think I'm worse than her?"Golden's expression was the same as he replied."Indeed, you have no chances to win. Your talent is higher than hers, but Lor's resources and training time surpass yours. Given her personality, you won't end better than Zack if you chose to battle."Aizu was shocked at Golden's words, although he was strict when training with the sword, he never was that cold speaking to her.She understood that Golden was talking seriously, but she didn't want to give up without trying to battle first.Seeing that Aizu didn't enter the stage, Lor lost her patience."Are you scared of me? Of course, you are scared. You are only a future toy for Heruk's
[The user upgraded the Magic Skill "Basic Healing" to Level 5.]After healing Lor, Golden gave her another slash that sent her outside the stage heavily injured, but without any risk for her life.The audience was shocked again, Lor was shameless, and a lot of people hoped that she got beaten by someone, but Golden's ruthlessness impressed them.Golden, who had avoided injuring his opponent before, had left permanent scars on Lor's body and heavily hurt her while tossing her out.To a girl like her who liked to seduce and cheat boys, that was the worst punishment possible."The winner is Golden. Congratulations!"The referee announced Golden's victory triggering more rewards from the Dynamic Quest.[Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Vitality increased to 19 points.][Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Dexterity increased to 20 points.][Dynamic Quest reward for the fourth win: Origin Points increased to 18/18 points and restored.]The rewards were better than the previous
Although most of the audience believed that Golden used an illusion spell, the higher-ups were strong enough to deduce the truth.After all, there was no way that a small spell cast by a kid could affect them.Those people were also the ones who knew about Time Healing, so they didn't need to think too much before reaching a conclusion.Golden had used a time element spell and one that was different from Time Healing. That was something that shocked all of them.Then, Sainac looked at Swordmad, but Swordmad instead of a shocked expression, he wore a satisfied expression on his face. At that moment, Sainac understood that Swordmad already knew about that time spell, but he had kept it as a secret until Golden revealed it himself.Until that moment, Swordmad was the only one who had seen Golden use Absolute Protection.However, Swordmad thought that Golden used it unconsciously before and that he managed to control it consciously before the tournament.Golden had shown all his power in
Everyone left the teleportation portal.commentBeside Swordmad, Golden, and Heruk, all the others vomited, the sensation of trespassing a teleportation portal wasn't something easy to support.To Swordmad, that was nothing, and as Heruk was still unconscious, he didn't feel anything.Golden didn't feel well, but his Pain Tolerance also affected that kind of feeling, so he wasn't in such a sorry state as the others.Wyba was also in a sorry state, but Golden used Basic Healing into her, and she was restored. Basic Healing could also be used to treat those symptoms.They had appeared outside the Imperial City after leaving the portal, but they weren't too far from the entrance, in an hour they should be able to reach the city gates and enter the biggest and most important city of the empire.People in Nacesai City didn't know much about the empire; even Golden had only managed to read the empire's name in one of the uncountable books he had read.In normal circumstances, the people of
After advancing, Golden started to switch between training his Origin Qi and practicing Basic Healing.Increasing the Origin Qi was equivalent to increasing the Origin Points. More Origin Points would let him use more skills in battle, and that was important in front of a dangerous situation. After all, he was sure that the Special Realm would have a lot of dangerous situations.As for training Basic Healing, Golden wanted to be able to heal his friends, even if they had scars afterward, as long as they avoided dying from loss of blood, it was alright.Furthermore, Basic Healing could also heal altered states like when he healed Wyba after leaving the portal.After all, Golden could only use Time Healing for one second before exhausting almost all his Origin Points. It could heal a big injury a bit, but not fully treat someone.Golden practiced in his room, with Wyba as his only company for the whole week.He had managed to increase Basic Healing to level six, which also lowered the c
"You are better than those trashes who vomit due to a few space-time fluctuations, what a shame. My name is Kermu Kurk from the Kurk Clan. Since you seem a bit decent, do you want to come with us? It would be a waste to use you as cannon-fodder like those pieces of trash from there."Kermu was arrogant and despised the commoners, a typical way of thought for those in the noble clans.However, he also liked the commoners with talent. He didn't treat all of them in the same way.Kermu's appearance was somewhat average. He was a bit taller than Golden and had some muscles, but he wasn't bulky."I also think that he should come with us. After all, we are only four here. He should be capable since he can resist the space-time passage. We should ensure the security of our group."The girl who spoke was pretty, and as Golden looked at her, he noticed that she was holding Kermu's arm. Golden guessed that those two should have some particular relationship.That girl emanated a warm feeling, wh
The boys watched the girls hugging Wyba until they noticed that some of the other kids were starting to recuperate from the space-time passageway effects."Serka, Nurvey, we should go now. The others will be recovered soon."They didn't want to be along with the cannon-fodder.That was because they considered the cannon-fodder as ignorant kids who would activate traps around the realm while walking like fools. Their elite group had a better way of moving and only used the others to decrease the chances of meeting traps in the long term.Going with them was useless and would only increase the danger.Of course, that strategy of letting the commoners walking around the realm always ended with some of them obtaining benefits due to being lucky, but most of them just die due to the traps.After hearing Kermu's voice, the two girls stopped fooling around.Then, the five of them left the area. However, Nurvey refused to let go of Wyba.Golden didn't understand what Nurvey wanted to mean unt
"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
