Chapter 248: Arena

“Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, we’re doing this just for fun, Mr. Stein is not saving the video he’s streaming to the TV over there anywhere, we’re doing it like that so we can watch without being inside my training space,” Isaac explained while Stein worked was putting together a drone that could transmit out of the pocket space.

Suddenly, Mac Liam had an old-fashioned scroll in his hand, which he thrust in Stein’s face, “This here is a contract to that ...

Chapter 247: Gathering of the Strongest

“Well, that’s why we use guard dogs, not guard cats.”

Isaac heard someone say in the distance. He agreed. Cats were cute, cats were adorable, cats were good pets. But cats also had a bottomless capacity for assholery, virtually unmatched by anything else in the animal kingdom. Boosting one up to the point where it could be used as a guard … bad idea. Really bad idea.

The general vibe of the room was thankfully good, with a few good-natured arguments about...

Chapter 246: A Bad Idea?

The conference center was a huge building, imposing, the very epitome of post-[System] construction, a style whose name hadn’t yet been officially chosen, but all current contenders were variations on “Sentinel”, “Guardian”, “Keep”, or “Bulwark” architectural style.

“Into the lion’s den we go,” Amy muttered via the party chat they’d established before heading over here. Isaac couldn’t help but agree, this could end oh so badly.

Getting inside was both e...

Chapter 245: Final Preparations

“Exotische Genüsse” was one of Isaac’s favorite places to be, and not just for the food.

It was perhaps the one place on planet Earth where he didn’t have to suppress his sense of smell.

The team’s favorite restaurant was located right on campus with them, and the cook absolutely loved using the monster materials they brought her.

She was also an artist, who used her senses to their fullest potential to create the best dishes she possibly could. As such, she’d c...

Chapter 244: Modern Education

“Welcome to Combat [Skills] 101,” Isaac announced, standing in front of a lecture hall’s blackboard for the first time ever.

Behind him, a kabar with a crayon duct-taped to its end drew on the blackboard under his telekinetic control.

In theory, any and all university faculties had to put in a certain number of teaching hours, as had staff of a certain academic rank.

Yet here he was, teaching. And not because someone had had a family emergency, not because the...

Chapter 243: Mobius Castle

“You can’t just teleport straight onto campus covered in moon dust, that stuff causes silicosis,” Bailey told Raul as the ranger marched off the teleportation pad.

The issue of creating a proper portal when the distance between endpoints was constantly shifting hadn’t been solved yet, so they’d sidestepped it entirely. Instead, they created a stable portal back on terra firma, in the middle of a huge runic array, and let the moon-side counterpart crash into the person or perso...

Chapter 242: Vacation from a Vacation

“Ugh, that sucked.” Isaac collapsed into a couch in the Hunter’s Guild’s lobby “If I ever decide to train a thousand people at the same time, please throw me into the sun.”

“Was it really that bad?” Amy asked.

“If I fight alongside people with a similar ideology, they’ll slowly gain weaker versions of my teacheable [Skills], which can eventually upgrade to the full epic version that I can teach directly. Normally, it’s a nice passive boon for when I fight [Ra...

Chapter 241: Heart to Heart

The soft touch was where Isaac was seriously lacking. Anything that required a measured response left him crippled.

Chasing an enemy through the air would have been a piece of cake. Reduce his mass to functionally zero, use pyromancy to accelerate, done.

Problem was, he could hardly start spewing flames in the middle of downtown Seoul just to prevent Amy from from telling the rest of the team about his relationship status.

For obvious reasons, the vast majority of his ve...
