Ders had no intention of causing a downfall.
As the student council president, he was supposed to graduate and install another close associate as his successor in place of Ecok, who had been forced to leave early.

Rockefeller did not respond.
He simply kept his eyes closed, showing only subtle expressions of anger or regret.

Even as he ran, periodic coughs escaped him.
Though he had fled far, the smoke clung to him persistently.
Rockefeller held Arcyon close and used telekinetic magic to push away the endless mist.

It was just annoying to see someone always plotting from behind and looking out for themselves... No, that doesn't seem right.

Although he belonged to the villain side, he would have graduated quietly and exited without causing trouble, and his actions were ...

Realistically speaking, I knew that I wouldn't get the lost coins back.

Though I called it tea, the cup carved from stone only held hot water.

‘Pain? In this body?’
In Dordone's memories, such a sensation was unheard of.
A being who could crush stone into sand and flatten any metal like clay with overwhelming strength.
To him, the concept of hardness simply did not exist in the world.

As suspected, it was true.
And not just any grade, but the triple-X premium batch, intended to be savored sparingly. 2025-01-07 14:58:36 +0000 UTC View Post
By now, the Spirit Gate should have been destroyed. I remember that despite all the enemies we killed, about one-third of them were supposed to remain. There were many variables, but we were forcing ourselves to follow the flow. Now, the remaining task is to defeat Ecok before he becomes the Tyrant. On the path to the broken Arcane Chamber, there should be positioned spirits, and perhaps even high-level ones. But I could be at ease.
