'Master Identification,' Daz invoked mentally, but surprisingly, nothing happened.
He wasn't shown a detailed description of the illusion masking Atlantis like he had expected. 'I guess I can't identify things that are hidden? Rose's version of Master Identification must be specialised to doing just that then, right? Identifying everything, even if only at a basic level. Otherwise, there's no way that she would know as much as she does about everythin...

Lone scratched his head upon seeing none of the over 30 humans making the first move. "Uh, you guys only have a little over 4-minutes left, y'know? I'm gonna wipe the floor with you lot, like, pretty much as soon as the 5-mins have passed," he noted nonchalantly.
One of the humans tightened the grip on his staff in rage. "Even... Even if you're a triple-S-ranker... Even despite that, you're still only a beginner with magic! Ahhh!" He screamed to pump himself up then utilise...

Daz wheezed as he caught his breath. Wiping the blood away from his face - whether his or a monster's, he wasn't sure - he slumped down onto his butt and laughed, resulting in several bubbles appearing from his mouth.

"W-Why are you in my class?" the dwarven professor who had handled Swind's incident just yesterday asked the nine-tailed foxkin that had strolled right into the arena that hosted her class on earth magic.
Lone smiled politely at her and replied, "Professor Alroy tried to bully me out of his class by demanding I duelled him and used only Earth Magic, so when I almost killed him with a barrage of Rock Bullets and Boulders, he begged for his life and arranged for me to be move...

It was honestly quite amazing. Daz had to put very little effort into dodging any and all of the explosive projectiles that came his way. The rounds from the cannons were a bit of a different story, however.
His Lifeforce was slowly being chipped away as the rounds impacted on his armour or his flesh. He had enough Constitution and Defense for the bullets to not burrow into his body, but they certainly drew blood before they fell out of his skin and into the ocean belo...

Rose opened up an application on her laptop then pulled up a certain file. She then spun her laptop around to reveal a fully-rendered 3D model of what looked like an incredibly weathered and damn-near destroyed city.
There were thousands of buildings, and each one looked slightly different from the last. Most of these buildings were covered in what looked like moss, but beneath that, blue walls with hints of golden detailing could be seen.
At the centre of this city s...

Thankfully, the lesson went perfectly smoothly after that. Sir Ironskin very carefully and very professionally demonstrated the skill Metal Warping several times and even answered any and all questions he received from the students - Lone included - as he explained how the skill worked and functioned.

"Interesting," Daz said after hearing what Avulaway had to say. "So, you think I should just spend everything on increasing Grid's size, and, as a result, more of the city's original land will return?"
Avulaway swallowed her saliva nervously. This was where things usually fell apart with the previous rulers that she and her people had served under.

Sir Ironskin was pleased to see Lone accept his somewhat unreasonable demand and quietly join the other students.
He nodded and then said, "Well, as you are all new to metal magic, today's lesson will be a demonstration of perhaps the simplest metal magic skill in existence, Metal Warping."
Sir Ironskin walked to the side of the massive slab of gold behind him and placed his hand on it. "Metal Warping," he invoked, causing the glittering and unrefined chunk of gold to...

Headmaster Erion looked unassuming, weak even. It was impossible to tell that he was a Divine. In fact, he gave off the strength of an average B-ranker.
Even his soul, which while powerful, was also seemingly B-ranked. 'Can Divines hide how strong they are? It wouldn't be much of a surprise... I've only met two so far, and Sarah had no real reason to hide her strength while Youngest needed to show me how strong she was so I would take her seriously... There was Ele...

This came a lot quicker than I was expecting. It only took the artist a little over half a week, which is cool since he said it'd take two weeks.
The guy who drew this was the same guy as the Crusher art, and it really shows, huh?
I hope you all enjoy it.
The next art on the list should be Hsiao-Han's art, so look forward to that next month (hopefully. she has a complex design, so she may take a while longer than expected).

"Cute," Lone commented when he saw Soph holding a staff the same size as her body. She also had a big witch's hat on her head while her free arm held the rest of her new clothes.
Lone very quickly inspected the gear of his friends and was happy to see that they all had items that were better than they were intended to be. Clearly, they'd all used Clicker's power to find the ideal set of items for themselves.
Lone was welcomed back, but he still had to wait a bit longe...

The Elder Tylwyth Teg then used her wings to float in front of everyone, resulting in them stopping from moving forward.
