Chapter 116

“Looks like it was on purpose,” Suri murmured as their footsteps echoed through the narrow tunnels. Her tone was thoughtful, but her eyes were sharp, scanning the dark. “The Great Bees have a weak point on their backs?”

Kana nodded. “Right. The joint where their wings connect—it’s thinner than the rest of their armor.”

Suri continued, piecing the battlefield together in her mind. “After the initial assault, when the swarm pulled back, the main force struck. They ...

Chapter 115

The next stage was the most dangerous—at least for the dungeon scrappers. Everyone knew it, though no one said it aloud. The initial wave of Great Bee Guards always fell upon them first. That initial attack was thought to be special because it was too strong. Probably an exclusive skill of theirs.

Raydon Kergastel exhaled slowly, his armor creaking with the motion. He let his gaze drift across the scrappers, memorizing their faces one last time. Brave, terrified, stubborn faces. They ...

Chapter 114

Wor-en studied the fifteen dungeon scrappers gathered in front of him. Fewer than he’d expected. Fifteen wasn’t nothing, but the budget for this raid had clearly gone elsewhere—thirty-five certified adventurers from the guild would’ve eaten coin faster than fire through paper. Whoever held the rights this cycle had chosen a different gamble. Interesting. Risky. Maybe they’d been tipped off about a drop inside. Something rare enough to justify the move.

“Circle around me when...

Chapter 113

They weren’t even sure when his name had been mentioned—only that the sound of it, Wor-en, snagged in Boris’s ears. 

Boris slipped out of the press of bodies, tiptoeing for a better look.

The torchlight was faint. He squinted, and then his heartbeat quickened. A sudden, raw fear gripped him. Not the kind he’d felt when a beast charged him. Not even the dread his father could draw from him with a single glare. This was something deeper. Instinctive. He ducked low befor...

Chapter 112

The trio hadn’t expected this.

As their wagon creaked up the frost-bitten road, the dungeon loomed ahead—but not as a lonely cave or half-buried ruin as Kana had pictured. Instead, an entire wall encircled the site, a thick ring of stone that looked like it belonged to a fortress. A heavy iron gate stood open, wide enough for two wagons to pass through side by side. Guards in layered mail checked each group, their hands resting on halberds.

When the wagon rolled inside, the ai...

Chapter 111

The underground district always smelled of smoke and damp stone. The inn at its heart was supposed to be hospitable—lamps glowing against carved walls, wooden beams polished smooth by years of touch—but everyone knew its real purpose. This wasn’t a place for weary travelers. It was where Dungeon Scrappers gathered. Failures, the adventurer guild called them. The ones who hadn’t passed the adventurer’s guild’s examinations, but who still chased monsters and coin i...

Chapter 110

The trio slipped into the dormitory just as the curfew bell tolled, the muffled sound rolling across the campus like the low clang of a distant forge.The halls were quiet, lamps burning with a soft bluish glow. Most students were already in their rooms, whispering or drifting into sleep.

Boris went on his way to the boy's dorm room, Kana paused as they turned a corner. A lone figure stood near the stairwell of their room, leaning against the wall with arms folded. Brown hair fell neatly...

Chapter 109

It was late afternoon when the trio pushed through the tall oak doors of the Adventurer’s Guild. The winter air clung to their cloaks, cold and heavy, even though the braziers lining the entryway radiated a dull warmth. Behind them, Toby followed at an unhurried pace, while Rin and Yuri trailed in with wide eyes, their faces betraying both awe and nervous excitement.

Rin leaned closer to Yuri, her voice hushed but still carrying in the quiet hall. “It’s bigger than I imagined…�...

Chapter 108

It was the first day of the week, and the north training field stirred like a hive long before dawn burned away the frost. Kana and Suri moved together through the swelling crowd, boots crunching against the hard-packed earth. There was something different in the air—different in the way people looked at them.

Once, the copper class had been the academy’s bottom rung: whispered at, mocked, treated like they were something below them. But now… the sneers were gone. Heads nodded as ...

Chapter 107

The trio lingered near the newly built watchtower, their shadows long and flickering in the orange glow of the bonfire. The children had finally collapsed into sleep after hours of wearing Boris down with endless games, their soft breathing drifting through the orphanage house like a lullaby. Even the villagers had surrendered to exhaustion, their tools leaned against the half-finished walls.

The night was cold—colder than the capital should’ve been. The winter air bit at their chee...

Chapter 106

The wagon’s wheels creaked as they rolled it back onto the half-frozen dirt road. To their surprise, it was intact—untouched by the chaos of scarecrows. Only faint ruts in the snow and cracked barrels that had just shaken the countryside.

Still, none of them relaxed. Kana’s eyes scanned the treeline, every heartbeat pressed with the memory of scarecrows tearing themselves back together, stitched by foreign mana. Boris kept his spear beside him.

Suri, though, sat as if nothin...

Chapter 105

Kana’s heartbeat hammered in her chest. Suri was gone—vanished as though ripped from reality. Even with [High Awareness], Kana couldn’t feel the faintest trace of her.

“Where did Suri go?” Boris growled, bracing against the scarecrow’s clawed strike. His spear caught the blow, wood groaning under the impact.

“I don’t know.” Kana’s voice was steady, but her gut churned with unease. “But one thing’s certain—these things are tied to that smi...

Chapter 104

Kier stood before the massive stone doors that marked the boss chamber, their surface etched with faint runes pulsing like veins of dim light. He turned, resting a hand on the hilt of his rapier.

“Shall we go inside?”

“What?” Suri blinked at him, her expression caught somewhere between disbelief and accusation.

Boris barked out a laugh, shaking his head. “We’re a bit crazy, Sir Kier, but not that crazy.”

Kana’s voice was calm but firm. “That ...

Chapter 103

The next few days at the academy blurred together—lectures, killing spawn summons in the training field, sparring, meals in the bustling halls. The tension from the field assignment finally began to decrease, though Suri was a bit annoyed since her patrol duty would begin next week, immediately. She had already decided to stretch her illusions thin and let them wander on her behalf. Even so, the thought of her reduced sleeping time pressed at the back of her mind.

Now, though, the wee...

Chapter 102

Field training with the help of adventurer’s guild summoners had gone smoother than expected. Their guidance shaved hours off the drills, and the students wrapped the session just in time for the afternoon classes.

When lessons ended, Suri didn’t follow the others to the mess hall. Instead, she made her way straight to the principal’s office.

Principal Light was sipping tea when she entered, his white beard shifting with his smile. “What’s the sudden visit, Suri?”

Chapter 101

The monthly student council meeting took place in the early evening.

The sun had long since dipped, leaving the sky awash in deep violet. Faint golden light from the lamps powered by magical leaves illuminating the long table, shadows pooling at the corners of the council room. 

Elle York sat at the head of the table, her presence commanding. Her folded hands rested atop a neat stack of papers. When she spoke, her voice carried clear and sharp, echoing against the paneled wal...

Chapter 100

Suri exhaled sharply as they stepped back onto academy grounds, the looming towers and banners catching the weak winter sun. The cold stone walls should have felt safe, but after the scarecrow’s sudden attack, the silence weighed on her chest like a warning.

“That was…”, Boris muttered, his heavy boots striking louder than usual on the flagstones. “Thing just vanished.”

Suri’s brow tightened. “Not just vanished.” She shook her head, strands of red hair falling in...

Chapter 99

It was Valdis’ first time in such a gathering. Anonymity pressed down on the room like a second set of walls. Two dozen students, maybe more, stood scattered beneath the rotting rafters of the abandoned church. Their hoods and masks made them shapeless, voiceless things—just shadows given human posture.

The place reeked of dust and mildew. Long-shattered stained glass let in fractured bits of moonlight, casting jagged patterns across stone floors cracked with age. Once, this place h...

Chapter 98

The basement where the heist had once unfolded had changed. The dust, broken crates, and scattered coins were gone. In their place stood broken shelves lined with ledgers, a long table stacked with scrolls, and a single lamp burning with steady light. This was no longer a crime scene—it was Flowel’s private office.

The heavy door creaked open.

A familiar figure stepped inside. Flowel lifted his gaze. He remembered that face from before, though only in passing. 

“Y...

Chapter 97

Duke Stark walked the length of his garden path, boots crunching softly over frost-hardened gravel. The breath that left him in steady bursts curled white into the air, only to fade into the pale blue of an early winter morning. The hedges were stiff with frost, the last stubborn leaves rimmed with silver, and the fountain at the center of the garden wore a thin crust of ice.

Still, his thoughts weighed heavier than those ice.

The letter had come the other night, not delivered by ...

Chapter 96

The slum children splashed in the nearby creek, laughter carrying on the breeze as Suri and Kana’s mother guided them through their first proper bath in who knows how long. On the other side of the clearing, Aldo stalked the perimeter, eyes sharp with his [Eagle Eyes] as he surveyed the land. He traced the ridges with his gaze, already imagining where a small watchtower might be possibly built. Leo had insisted they were safe—after all, this was still within the Capital�...

Chapter 95

The winter air bit at Kana’s cheeks, sharper now than it had been a few months ago. She tugged her scarf higher, its wool scratchy against her chin, and tried not to shiver. Beside her, Suri bounced lightly on her heels, red scarf whipping in the wind, while Boris stood solid and unmoving, arms crossed like a stubborn bear enduring the cold.

“They’re here!” Suri shouted, waving. Her voice carried above the noise of the gate traffic. Kana didn’t even need to look—of course Su...

Chapter 94

“Congratulations on earning your gold badge,” Principal Light said, his tone pleasant, though his eyes studied her too closely.

Suri shifted uncomfortably in her chair, tapping her fingers against her leg. “Uhm… thank you.”

Principal Light adjusted his spectacles and pulled a stack of documents from the side of his desk. He checked them thoroughly until he found the one with her name. “Now, you didn’t mention much about your ability during our last meeting.” His br...

Chapter 93.5

It was dawn when the work was mostly done, the last of the smoke rising from smoldering hearths and the scent of damp earth still clinging to the air. The chief’s house, normally quiet at this hour, pulsed with murmurs and shuffling boots. Inside, less than two dozen adults had gathered, their faces weathered by years of labor.

The chief cleared his throat, his presence enough to still the voices. “As we’ve all agreed,” he said, voice firm, “Lily, Shar, and Aldo will take empl...

Chapter 93

Kana and Suri had only just returned to their seats when Elle York raised her voice again, her tone crisp enough to silence the murmurs of the crowd.

“It does not end with them. There are others who faced the enemies with courage. Though none prevailed until the royal knights arrived, there were exceptions—copper and gold class first-years who not only stood their ground, but outsmarted and defeated their enemies.”

She read the names, “Andel Kergastel. Leo Stark. Adam. Roy...

Chapter 92

Flowel’s fist slammed into the vault table so hard that the wood splintered, a sharp crack echoing through the chamber. He didn’t care. He wanted it to break. Everything around him felt like it deserved to break.

Failure. The word throbbed in his skull like a curse. A simple task—kidnap a handful of pampered students—and yet his men had managed to botch it so spectacularly that the Royal Knights themselves had been stirred from their nests.

He stalked across the b...

Chapter 91

Principal Light sat at the rectangular long table in his office, the atmosphere was tense with deafening silence despite the number of people packed within. Professors lined both sides of the table, their robes brushing against the carved wood, their expressions grim under the pale glow of the stones fixed into the walls. The stones were temporary—rushed into service to ensure no corner of the room hid shadow. Their bluish hue gave every face a sharp, unnatural cast, as if the room were fil...

Chapter 90

Balt’s vision swam, the forest twisting in front of him like a fever dream. His legs shook with every step, barely obeying him now. He wanted to run—needed to run—but his body betrayed him, moving at a crawl, like he was dragging chains. Each step sank into the earth as though the ground itself tried to swallow him whole.

Blood soaked his armor, dripping down his arms in sluggish rivulets. He could smell it—iron and rot—and every breath rattled in his lungs like rust scraping ...

Chapter 89

It was an emergency announcement a few moments ago. By decree of King J himself, the fastest royal knights were dispatched to the different training grounds where the academy’s students were scattered.

Artin, of the horse-insignia royal knight class, was a [Druid]. Unlike most of the Royal knights, his strength wasn’t speed in his human form, but his skill [Transform] gave him a weapon of equal measure. If he chose correctly, he could rival even the...

Chapter 88

Wor-en stood at the center of the third-years, their circle tight, faces pale in the sunlight. His own expression had hardened to stone, though his chest churned. The copper-class students were on the other side of that cursed wall. His student with detection confirmed it—bursts of skills were flaring in the muddy walls beyond. Someone was attacking them.

If something happened to them—if even one of those kids died under his watch—the Academy wouldn’t just blame him. It would de...
