Chapter 604 - Walk around the Academy

These kids… it’s almost like dealing with Aaron and Dennis. Maybe I’m truly getting older and grumpier, but when I was younger, we knew how to show respect to a teacher, or we got slapped on the back of the head. I mean, for some reason it happened to me a lot, but that’s not important right now.

I would lament why they’re not all like Izzy, but that might not be fair. Izzy is now close to thirteen years old, and as she grows taller she also changes a bit. I mean, she is still...

Chapter 603 - Kays and Ari

“What did you say?” The human boy stops and turns back to me.

“Look, I'm not the type to beat around the bush. Apparently, you're a problem student or something, I haven't read that far. I don't know if the professor sent me because he doesn't want to bother with you, or if he's really busy. I could probably tell him you threatened me or something and left the lesson, and I, as an assistant professor, didn't have the guts to stop you. So you can just leave if you want. Oh...

Chapter 602 - Problem students

At the scheduled time I’m in the garden where we first appeared. Exactly a day has passed since we split, and I’ve already gathered a little bit of information. Well, most of it I’ve just heard or noticed. It’s not like I actually talked to anyone.

Tess appears first, holding Biscuit in her arms. He'd decided to stay with her for a while. The corgi is probably protecting her or just being an emotional support. Even though he's only awake for one or two hours a day because of the...

Chapter 601 - Professor Elian

At least my office is awesome. It isn’t that big, but it’s in one of the academy’s towers and with nice view. This tower is entirely reserved for professors or something. That also raises the question: how the hell do you teach people who might not even have the same skill you do?

I pause.

Oh, could it be? Maybe professors have a high level in some skill, and students come here to acquire that skill and learn how to level up. Maybe professors are of a higher level, or maybe ...

Chapter 600 - Ultimate goal

Your performance up until now has been judged, and your role for the 8th floor has been picked. You have been assigned as Assistant Professor to Professor Elian.

And that's it. The notification disappears, and there is no more information. No goddamn map, no more details and stuff. The only thing that changes is my clothes, which go from a comfy white shirt and sweatpants to a black suit with a black shirt, jacket, and pants, paired with a light blue tie.

B...

Chapter 599 - Freedom

All of us sit around my trademarked thermal cube that, with the help of kinetic energy channeled through internal spaces, emits a crackling noise. The heat also fluctuates, sending waves similar to real, crackling fire, rather than being a stable source of heat.

Tess lifts her eyes from the cards she is holding, “They really made collection cards for high ranked attendees.”

“Yup!” Dennis nods excitedly. “Aaron and I have probably the best collection out of Earth´s tutor...

Chapter 598 - Nothing I couldn't deal with

After a few days, Biscuit starts shrinking from his giga form. It's sad to watch, and I wish he would wake up before it happens completely so he could carry me instead of the other way around. But there's nothing I can do. It seems like he ate something and pushed himself too hard to avoid slipping into another food coma, which he ended up in any way right when Lissandra found him and Tess.

Part of me suspects he’s actually trying really hard to shrink back to his normal size just so ...

Chapter 597 - Reigning dumbass of the 7th floor

The reward for being this floor's reigning dumbass goes to Tess, who remains unconscious even after all the work Sophie and Izzy have done for her.

What we know is that Lissandra found her and Biscuit, then knocked Tess unconscious because the blonde kept trying to kill her and was screaming at her. Lissandra also confirmed that there is no mimic inside Tess anymore and that she found her deep in underground escape tunnels leading out from a nearby lumoran secret base that had been des...

Chapter 596 - Not a damsel

POV Nathaniel

We appear back on the 7th floor, at the same place where we have spent these months training, preparing, and relaxing at our “beach.”

It is now entirely destroyed. A crater scars the ground where the lake and the building used to be. The nearby cliff is marred, with a single, enormous, building sized glass projectile piercing through it. There are also bodies of lumorans and mimics scattered around.

Tess and Biscuit are nowhere to be seen, ...

Chapter 595 - End of the 2nd tournament

So what do you say to tens of thousands of attendees watching you as you stand alone in the ruined area of the last event? You have only a few seconds before the system teleports you back into the common area after your sister forfeited.

Well, obviously you threaten them. You tell them how terribly you will fuck them up if anyone ever tries to touch someone belonging to you, whether it is your family, members of your group, or others cooperating with you. You tell them that what they ju...

Chapter 594 - Recognized

Victoria jumps in front of me, only to burst into pieces of flesh, and part of me wonders how much longer she can keep going. The attack that was supposed to kill me is partially blocked, but it still throws me to the side. With cold, detached curiosity, I watch as the next one carves deep holes into the building next to me.

I could feel no mana, neither in the attack nor in the burst when Lissandra used it.

I boost myself into the air and take black mana from the crown and I use ...

Chapter 593 - 2v1

There are no words exchanged between us. Vic charges first, only for her body to explode into pieces the moment she gets closer. Each of these pieces grows into another person, and five Victorias charge Lissandra at once.

She kicks one of the Victorias away, the broken body passing by me through the air. Another two explode into piles of flesh. One of the remaining ones grabs Lissandra's arm, and the last one tears off its finger to throw it at Lissandra.

I use Wraith Dance to jum...

Chapter 592 - Gwyn siblings

Half of the group splits and starts heading directly at us. Around five stay behind to use ranged attacks while the remaining ones move around to flank us from behind.

Just before the front attackers come close, gray mana bursts on the roof where the ranged attackers stayed. It seems that the twins used the [Disintegration] orb stored in the box, they follow with attacks of their own. Min-Jae joins them too in cutting off the sniping.

Led by Derick and Klara,...

Chapter 591 - Start of the 5th event

5th event: Tyrant's Arena will start in one hour! The event will take place in an area selected by the system, picked specifically for Earth's tutorial attendees.

The event will last one hour.

There is only one winner of the event - the last one remaining within the area. Everyone else will be considered a loser.

Note: It is possible to forfeit the event by simply thinking or saying “I forfeit.”...

Chapter 590 - Facade

"I came because of the next Beyond Expedition. You are more sociable and could plan it out with the others. Soph and Grumpy can help you too if you talk to them. CarrotCake joining could work as well, but I know if I go to talk with him he will want to fight me. I would prefer if you organize it and we can set a schedule," I tell Leticia after Luna brings me to her.

The young woman sighs, "And I thought you came to catch up and chat."

"I'm busy."

"You keep dying as we talk."...
