### Chapter 104: First Class

BOOM!

The impact echoed across the mountaintop like thunder.

Where Russell had stood, a nightmare now crouched a black and red monstrosity that had caught the Yellow Turban Warrior's devastating punch in one clawed hand. The ground beneath them shattered, spider-web fractures racing outward from the point of impact.

The watching students recoiled, some stumbling backward, others frozen in shock. Even Heath and Keith, who'd witnessed the transformation at the...

Chapter 114

"You want me to come with you to the Baffin Mountains?" Warren asked, concern evident in his voice as they sat in his living room. Aidan had just proposed joining him on a weapons testing expedition to the mountains, where they'd have far more space to experiment.

"Absolutely," Aidan assured him quickly. "Don't worry about my safety. if things get dangerous, I can use spatial magic to escape instantly." He'd considered going alone, but the mountains were unfamiliar territory fi...

Chapter 113

Aidan arrived at the Magic Hall with the freshly modified weapons tucked away in his dimensional storage, making sure to hand them over to Ivy before their preparation course began. Students filtered in one by one, settling into their usual seats with the comfortable familiarity of routine.

"I've been lecturing about spiritual magic theory for nearly ten years now," Frigga announced from the stage, her voice carrying easily across the hall. "Today, we practice. Everyone except ...

### Chapter 103: Showtime

The twins exchanged loaded glances, disbelief written across their faces. Sure, early admissions happened—but starting halfway through the academic year? That was unheard of.

Russell could practically see the gears turning in their heads. Either he was some bigwig's spoiled brat who'd waltzed in through the back door, or he was talented enough to make Northgate University bend its own rules. After that monstrous entrance display, they were clearly leaning toward the latter.

"Wel...

### Chapter 102: My Blade Isn't So Bad

The air shimmered, and Retsu Unohana materialized before Russell in all her deceptive glory. Her long braid draped elegantly over her chest, while the white captain's haori billowed around her form, concealing more than it revealed. Everything about her radiated maternal warmth and gentle wisdom.

"Please give me more guidance in the future, Russell," she said, her smile as soft as spring rain.

Yeah, right. Russell wasn't buying the act for a second. Behind that serene exp...

Chapter 101: Captain of the Fourth Division, Retsu Unohana

The office building gleamed in the afternoon sun, all glass and steel—a monument to modern commerce. Russell double-checked the address on his phone, eyebrows rising. This was where Mr. Warren operated?

"So much for the independent wholesaler theory," he muttered. No small-time trader could afford prime real estate like this. Then again, considering his diamond-level senior sister's connections, perhaps he shouldn't be surprised.

The moment he dismounted from h...

### Chapter 100: The Senior Sister

The winter wind bit at Russell's face as Pidgeot soared through the cloudless January sky. Despite the cold, he barely felt it—Arrogance's subtle protection wrapped around him like an invisible cloak, keeping the worst of the chill at bay. Below, the city gradually gave way to rolling hills dotted with estates.

Following the navigation to Hazel's location, Russell couldn't help but whistle low when the destination came into view. The manor sprawled across several acres, its traditiona...

Chapter 112 - The Weight of Knowledge

"I promise I'll be careful," Aidan said, noting the worry creasing Warren's brow. "And if anything breaks during the enchantment process, I'll replace it immediately."

Warren's expression softened. He pushed the weapons across the table with calloused hands. "No need for that. Do what you must. These old tools could use some magic in them."

Aidan touched each weapon—dagger, spear, longbow—and they vanished with a soft shimmer of light.

Ivy's fork clattered to he...

Chapter 111 - The Hunter's Daughter

The familiar chaos of the laboratory wrapped around Aidan like a comfortable cloak. After weeks of isolation in his research, the buzz of apprentices discussing their latest experiments felt oddly soothing. He stretched, feeling the tension finally ease from his shoulders.

"Aidan! Stop flirting and let's go!" Ivy's voice cut through the chatter at the palace exit, her hands planted firmly on her hips.

"I'm not—" Aidan started, then caught the amused glance from Valeria, the tall...

### Chapter 99: Distinguished Ladies

More than a month had elapsed since Russell had wrapped up the assignment handed to him by the Spirit Begging Society, and in that time, he had embraced a lifestyle of serene tranquility that surpassed any period of peace he had experienced since arriving in this world. His days unfolded in a rhythmic simplicity, dedicated either to profound sessions of meditation that deepened his mental reserves or to energetic... "sparring sessions"... with his summoned companions, where the air would fill...

### Chapter 98: Tying Up Loose Ends

In the aftermath of the gruesome cleanup within the abandoned building, Russell had initially considered summoning Yoriichi to handle the disposal, envisioning the swordsman's golden-red flames engulfing the remains and reducing everything to fine ash in a brilliant display of purifying fire. However, he quickly reconsidered, realizing that such a conspicuous blaze would light up the night sky like a beacon, drawing unwanted attention from anyone in the vicinity. Reluctantly, he set aside the...

CHAPTER 110

Under the intense stares of Asgard's elite—Odin's one-eyed gaze burning hottest—Aidan gripped the silver pillar, its base humming faintly in his palm like a coiled serpent ready to strike. He lifted it high, muscles tensing against the weight, then released. The device hovered, defying gravity with a soft whir that sent a thrill through the air, slowly ascending toward the observatory's heart.

This wasn't the grand hall of old, shattered when the Rainbow Bridge cracked like a god's ...

CHAPTER 109

A week blurred by in the lab's sterile glow, Aidan pushing through endless trials with the gear until it all clicked—every humming console, every arcane rune responding to his touch like extensions of his will. Sweat beaded on his brow as he finally dove in, hands flying over components, assembling the core of the space bridge. The air crackled with potential, tools sparking under his grip, each connection sending a jolt through his veins. This wasn't just building; it was defying the stars...

CHAPTER 108

Odin and Aidan strode out of the treasury, the heavy doors sealing behind them with a resonant thud that echoed through the halls. The Allfather's single eye bored into Aidan like a laser. "You've got the artifacts, boy. Deliver results—quick. I'll send an expert to work alongside you." His voice carried the rumble of thunder.

"The forge is ready," Odin added, glancing at the armored guard at his side. "Eitri will guide you."

Aidan nodded sharply, his veins buzzing with anticipa...

Chapter 107 : Enchanted Edges and Hidden Treasures

Magic doesn't pop out of nowhere—it needs raw energy to fuel it.

Kamar-Taj mages borrow theirs from big shots like Vishanti or other dimensional lords. You chant specific spells and strike poses to tap in, like dialing up a cosmic hotline.

Asgardian magic works the same core way, but they pull from Asgard itself—a massive energy well right under their feet.

These gods are built like tanks, so most skip the spell-slinging for enchanted weapons, charging into brutal close-...

### Chapter 97: A Protagonist's Prerogative

As Kiss-Shot Heart-Under-Blade gracefully merged back into the shadows at Russell's feet, the thugs who had fallen under her hypnotic demonic charm began to regain their senses one after another. They reached up to touch their necks in confusion and lingering fear, their eyes wide with shock as the reality of what had just happened sank in. The room was filled with an oppressive silence, broken only by the ragged breathing of the men who dared not make any sudden movements or ...

Chapter 96: Establishing Authority

Russell couldn't deny the allure of testing out his symbiote-enhanced Pidgeot, its black-and-red armored form promising speed and intimidation in equal measure. But practicality won out—riding that monstrous bird through the city would draw eyes like a beacon, screaming "villain arc" from a mile away. He'd be pulled over by every patrol officer in Northgate, and while dropping Director Blake's name might smooth things over, stirring up unnecessary drama wasn't on his agenda.

Instead,...

Chapter 95: One Card, Two Uses

Russell's pulse thrummed with a cocktail of thrill and jitters as he uttered, "Arrogance." In an instant, a writhing pool of black-and-red liquid materialized before him, shimmering like some cursed brew straight out of a dark shonen arc. It surged forward with eerie purpose, slithering across his skin, seeping into every pore until it vanished, as if it had always been a part of him.

"Hello, Russell."

### Chapter 94: Dying Symbiote: Arrogance

Russell leaned back in his chair, staring at the blank card in his hand. "Alright, time to gear up. Can't keep running around like a newbie in a boss fight—naked and praying for plot armor."

Pidgeot was a solid ride, sure, but it wasn't exactly cutting-edge anymore. And his own defenses? Zilch. He'd been skating by on sheer luck and card smarts for way too long. He glanced over the materials Director Blake had hooked him up with— all silver-level stuff, potent as hell, but dr...

Chapter 106: Moonlit Secrets and Magic Dawn

After finally breaking free from the swarm of chattering ladies, Aidan barely caught his breath before Volstagg's massive arm hooked around his neck like a vice. The bearded giant hauled him toward a rowdy table of burly Asgardians, all roaring laughs and clinking mugs. "Come meet the lads!" Volstagg boomed, introducing Aidan like he was showing off a trophy. Aidan rolled his eyes, trapped in the bear hug. Great, now I'm stuck here... I just wanna crash and think.

The ba...

Chapter 105 : Asgardian Sparks

The banquet wasn't firing up until nightfall, so Thor and the crew dragged Aidan on a whirlwind tour of Asgard. They hit the streets, weaving through vibes straight out of ancient Nordic legends—not from the towering buildings, but the locals shouting greetings to Thor. Folks rocked leather tunics, knee-length capes with frayed edges, simple and rugged, no fancy stitches or frills.

As Odin's son and the God of Thunder, Thor got mad respect—smiles everywhere, crowds parting like he o...

Chapter 104 : Gifts from Midgard

Asgard

the epic home base of the Aesir gods, ruled by Odin himself. Myths say it's cut off from Earth's Midgard, but some old researchers figured it was basically a massive floating castle. Reality? It's a weird, flat planetoid chilling at the center of the Nine Realms—no spinning, no orbiting stars, just hanging there like Odin punched it into existence back in his prime. Even Hela, the death goddess, siphons power straight from its core—the stronger Asgard gets, the deadlier she...

Chapter 103 : Shadows of the Past

Logan scratched his head, a rough grin cracking his weathered face. "Hell if I know," he muttered. Time had blurred into a endless haze for him—no birthdays, no milestones, just survival.

Aidan tapped his fingers on the table, eyes lighting up like he'd cracked a code. "If we're talking the War of Independence as a benchmark, you're pushing over 200 years, easy." He counted off on his fingers, quick and precise.

Logan blinked, caught off guard. "Yeah... probably." Surpr...

Chapter 93:

Russell eyed the quiet suburb on Northgate's fringe, the house's isolated charm sealing the deal. Beyond the peace it promised—far from the city's relentless hum—its seclusion suited his shadowy ties to the Spirit Begging Society. Tasks from them meant slipping out unseen; downtown crowds would spotlight every move. Here, under night's cover, he could activate the [Beads of Concealment], duck into a shadowed alley, don the [Mark 3], and soar away like a ghost in the wind.

He'...

Chapter 92: A Great Harvest

Russell's fingers brushed against the two items Blake extended, the weight of them grounding him amid the auditorium's fading echoes. The notebook was thick, its leather cover worn smooth from years of handling, bold characters etched across the front: "Experiences in Making Underworld Cards." Beside it, a hefty envelope, sealed with a subtle wax emblem that hummed faintly with latent energy.

"This is..." Russell's voice caught, a rush of awe tightening his throat. He recognized ...

Chapter 91: The Choice

"Damn it—someone's pulling a fast one!"

The thought exploded in Mr. Stern's mind like a thunderclap, his carefully laid plans crumbling before his eyes. As Northgate University's rep, he'd played his ace: announcing that Director Blake Whitmore himself would take Russell under his wing, sweetening it with perks no other school could touch. It should've shut down the competition cold. But that sly fox from Kirin University, silent as a shadow until now, had just dropped a bombshell, fl...

Chapter 90: The Spoils of Victory

The winter air bit sharp as December drew to a close, but inside the grand arena of Riverview Province's capital, the heat was suffocating. Twenty thousand spectators packed the stands, their voices creating a wall of sound that seemed to shake the very foundations of the building. The first-ever Riverview Province Unified Examination had reached its crescendo.

Russell stood in the center of the arena, his breathing steady despite the chaos around him. Sweat dripped from his brow, mixin...

Chapter 102 - Movie Magic and Real Talk

Making a movie needs actors, cameras, locations, and tons of special effects. With the White Queen's crazy computing power and the island's virtual reality setup, they could handle all of that easily. The tricky part? All those artistic touches—camera angles, color grading, composition—stuff that even the smartest AI couldn't quite nail without some human intuition.

"Hey White Queen, want to try being a director?" Aidan asked casually while scribbling notes for his script.

The...

Chapter 101 - Awakening Giants

After his chill vacation with Aunt May, Aidan was finally ready to dig through all the cool stuff he'd been hoarding in his storage device. The AllSpark sat there glowing like the world's most dangerous nightlight—it could literally bring every machine on Earth to life, though it would burn itself out completely in the process. With all the crazy powerful people already running around, that seemed like overkill. Way better to use it as a battery for his giant robot or maybe power his other ...

Chapter 100 : New Horizons

"This can't be helped," Aidan said with a finality that surprised even himself. "Since this path isn't easy to solve, I'll simply step away. Isn't this what you wanted to see?"

The Ancient One smiled, relief evident in her expression. "It seems you've done considerable thinking these past three days."

"Yes." Aidan nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities. He planned to focus entirely on his inventions now—to travel the universe and explore other dimensions, seeking mat...
