He didn\u2019t actively take part in theory lessons. But whenever he was called upon, he completed whatever was asked of him, always flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there was something else strange about him, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piba was&nbsp;<em>extremely<\/em>&nbsp;talkative. He always wore a bright smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoever sat next to him would quickly find themselves answering questions about their day, their studies, even their mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If someone struggled with spells or lessons, Piba would always try his best to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was&#8230; unusual. For someone ranked number one, you expected arrogance, ego, an air of superiority. The kind of person who acted like the world owed them something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Piba wasn\u2019t like that. Not at all. And&nbsp;<em>that<\/em>&nbsp;made everyone feel strangely unsettled around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much so that when Dame stood up for his match, Raze pulled him aside for a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whatever happens, try not to hurt him,&#8221; Raze said quietly. &#8220;You can lose the fight if you have to. You just need to impress the judges enough to pass. If you\u2019ve done enough, don\u2019t push it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;How will I know if I\u2019ve done enough?&#8221; Dame whispered back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a professor himself, Raze had been evaluating the students carefully throughout these assessment matches. He already had a solid idea of which students would be moving on to the next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unfortunate thing was, this wasn\u2019t the Central Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any student with immense talent, or the potential to become truly great, usually transferred to the Central Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was why the other academies lacked truly elite students. There was this sense that students would rather be the worst among the best&#8230; than the best among the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So even Raze wasn\u2019t sure what to expect from the academy\u2019s current number one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Look over in my direction,&#8221; Raze said. &#8220;When you feel you\u2019ve done enough, give me a thumbs-up. I\u2019ll make sure it counts toward passing. Just so you know, everyone else from our group has passed so far.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame grinned as he headed down toward the arena.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pubfuture Ads\" src=\"https:\/\/media.pubfuture.com\/defaultBanner\/2025\/08\/29\/Pubfuture_381016004527_1756464802.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Figured.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like Beatrix, Dame had his own fan base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As his name was announced, a chorus of excited squeals echoed from the crowd of girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The male mages groaned and booed loudly in response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Go on, Piba! We can\u2019t keep losing to these transfer students. Show them why you\u2019re ranked number one!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yeah! Reconstruct his ugly face while you\u2019re at it, make him even uglier!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;Bro, that doesn\u2019t even make sense,&#8221; another student added with a shake of his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hey!&#8221; Chiba chimed in, her voice sharp. &#8220;I&nbsp;<em>didn\u2019t<\/em>&nbsp;lose my match! If those guys want a beating themselves, I\u2019m happy to give it to them!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She raised a clenched fist, until Yolden gently pulled her back into her seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The arena was ready. The circles below the two competitors faded away, signaling the start of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do you think Dame will be okay?&#8221; Liam asked, his brow furrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t you remember?&#8221; Raze replied. &#8220;He trained you and Simyon for the longest time. Back then, he was stronger than all of us. He always put himself forward. Out of everyone here, if you asked me who I trust the most in a fight&#8230; well, it\u2019d probably be him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Not me?&#8221; Safa said, folding her arms and pouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A different kind of trust,&#8221; Raze corrected quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, the match began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame wasted no time, he\u2019d been eager to use his new gloves. With two swift punches in the air, fireballs shot out toward Piba at impressive speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with Liam\u2019s wand, the stronger and faster the punch, the more Qi was added, and the fiercer the fireball attack became.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flames hurtled toward Piba, but with a cheerful grin, he conjured two fireballs of his own, releasing them at the last second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Piba\u2019s fireballs collided with Dame\u2019s, they swallowed them up instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Haha! I know you can attack faster and with more than that, I saw you in your practical lessons!&#8221; Piba called out. &#8220;Come on!

It reminded him of the old Qi blast attacks he used to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each motion, fireballs shot off in all directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Piba saw them coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a wave of his hand, a sweeping wall of fire erupted, consuming nearly every fireball in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame didn\u2019t slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing to throw out his hands, he suddenly dashed forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he got close, he jumped high into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, instead of flames, he used pure Qi, striking the ground with a powerful punch that sent out a burst of wind beneath him, propelling him even higher. It was just the power of his legs, but he had done all of this to give it the appearance of wind magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, from above, he unleashed another wave, fireballs raining down from the sky, with more coming from below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Piba simply spun gracefully on the spot, releasing vortexes of wind in every direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spiraling winds extinguished the fireballs completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh&#8230; he really is almost a class above everyone else,&#8221; Liam murmured, wide-eyed. &#8220;Right, Raze?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He is,&#8221; Raze agreed. &#8220;But he\u2019s not using stronger spells or anything like that. It\u2019s his control. It\u2019s precise. He can see everything exactly as it is. No wasted movement. He\u2019s definitely a talented student.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Haha! You guys haven\u2019t seen&nbsp;<em>anything<\/em>&nbsp;yet!&#8221; Chiba said with a grin. &#8220;You\u2019re not the only ones with a unique affinity, you know!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For updates on MWS and future works, follow me on my socials:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<strong>jksmanga<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Patreon:&nbsp;<strong>jksmanga<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be the first to hear about new releases for MVS, MWS, and more!

It was something that couldn\u2019t be taught or replicated by conventional means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Enaxx, for example. His ability to clone himself, splitting his body into various elements, was a perfect case of a unique trait in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone with a unique trait that was even remotely useful would almost certainly be enrolled in the Central Academy. That was why Raze didn\u2019t expect to find one here. Although, truth be told, some unique traits were completely useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were some&#8230; wild ones. Like the ability to consume food and convert it into a mana source. While technically functional, this would fall firmly into the &#8220;useless&#8221; category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, the mana produced wasn\u2019t particularly powerful or reliable, and eating a full meal in the middle of battle wasn\u2019t exactly practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special affinities, on the other hand, were something different altogether. These were rare types of magic, elements that only certain mages could unlock, elements far beyond the reach of standard magical study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They weren\u2019t universal like the basic elements that anyone could learn and wield with enough training. No, special affinities were unique, deeply personal to each mage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes other mages shared the same affinity. Sometimes no one else did. The usefulness of an affinity varied, and whether it was a powerful blessing or something more subtle depended greatly on both the affinity itself and the mage who wielded it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue with special affinities, though, was this: due to how rare they were, there was often little to no research on them. Very few known spells existed for these elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was exactly the challenge Raze faced with his own&nbsp;<em>time magic<\/em>. He had the affinity. He had the raw mana. He could tap into its basic properties. But translating all of that into fully functional spells? That required research, research that simply didn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Raze was no ordinary mage. He possessed a deep understanding of mana and spellcraft. Given enough time, he could likely figure it out on his own, but that could take&nbsp;<em>months<\/em>&nbsp;of rigorous testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a less experienced mage? A special affinity might be practically useless. Without the knowledge or means to harness it, they\u2019d never unlock its true potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the way Chiba had spoken about Piba suggested that Piba had figured it out. He&nbsp;<em>knew<\/em>&nbsp;how to use his affinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019Which means what he\u2019s using is more than likely one of the offensive types,\u2019 Raze thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down in the ring, Dame wasn\u2019t exactly winning. So far, all he\u2019d shown were basic flame balls from his gloves. The professors watching didn\u2019t seem particularly impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Raze had been judging, there was still a chance Dame could make it, he\u2019d shown solid improvement. But to secure a place in the exchange, he\u2019d need to display something spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling the pressure, Dame\u2019s frustration began to show. Gritting his teeth, he started to spin his body, building momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he turned, a fireball launched from his outstretched hand, fast, incredibly fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piba responded by stomping the ground, raising an earth wall in front of him. The fireball smashed straight through it and kept on going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the last second, Piba formed a shield of water in front of his chest. The fireball hit, and was quickly extinguished as the water spun violently, snuffing out the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whoa, did you see that?&#8221; one of the students whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve never seen a fireball thrown that fast. Did he spin his body using wind magic or something?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, it had to be that, right? Maybe he used wind to propel the fire forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019re an idiot. That makes no sense,&#8221; another student snapped. &#8220;If you used wind magic on fire magic, it would weaken the flames, not strengthen them. There\u2019s no other element that would give a boost like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that was precisely why the others found Dame\u2019s technique so impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame himself was equally pleased. He glanced toward Raze, searching for a sign that it was enough. But Raze remained on the fence, his expression unreadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019It\u2019s caught the teachers\u2019 curiosity&#8230; but not enough to guarantee you a spot,\u2019 Raze thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What worried Raze, though, was that Piba was still fighting steadily, and he hadn\u2019t even revealed his special affinity yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I suppose enough time has been spent,&#8221; Piba said with a smile. &#8220;It appears you\u2019re taking this far more seriously now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling emboldened by his recent success, Dame doubled down. If it worked once, why not again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spun his body several times, releasing Qi from one hand while firing off a stream of fireballs with the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing Qi in this way gave the illusion that he was using wind magic, allowing him to hurl powerful fireballs with fierce velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, Dame unleashed four fireballs in rapid succession, each one flying toward Piba with blistering speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, Piba raised several earth walls, though these seemed more designed to slow the fireballs than to stop them outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the blazing attacks burst through the earth defenses, a large shimmering field of water was left behind, hanging in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this water wasn\u2019t ordinary. It glowed faintly, its surface shimmering with an ethereal light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019Those aren\u2019t normal fireballs,\u2019 Dame thought confidently. \u2019They\u2019re powered by my Qi. Even a water wall shouldn\u2019t be enough to stop them!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he was wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the fireballs struck the glowing water, they fizzled out, vanishing with barely a ripple. Nothing made it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, everyone in the crowd, including Dame, could clearly see the truth. The water had a strange, radiant glow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the water finally receded, the glow remained, now enveloping Piba\u2019s entire body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s his special affinity!&#8221; a student cried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think this is the first time I\u2019ve seen him use it&#8230; It\u2019s beautiful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Raze watched, he recognized it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Moon magic,&#8221; Raze said softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For updates on&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>My Werewolf System<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>and future works, please follow me on my social media below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<em>jksmanga<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*<\/em>Patreon:&nbsp;<em>jksmanga<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When news about&nbsp;<em>My Vampire System<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>My Werewolf System<\/em>, or any other series drops, you\u2019ll hear about it there first, and if I\u2019m not too busy, I usually reply to messages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>Report chapter&nbsp;<\/a><a>Comments<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapter 1332: Special Magic (Part 2)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There were very few who would be able to recognize the type of magic Piba was using. Unless they had witnessed it firsthand or Piba had told them outright, it remained a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Raze, having lived the long life he had as a professor, had seen it before. In fact, he had seen it several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019Raze still hasn\u2019t given me the thumbs up. Does that mean I need to show even more of my powers?\u2019 Dame thought anxiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than focusing on what his opponent had just done, Dame\u2019s mind was still fixed on one thing,&nbsp;<em>getting through<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, not for a second did he believe he would actually lose the fight, not if he used&nbsp;<em>everything<\/em>&nbsp;he had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piba, however, had different plans. The glow surrounding his body continued to shimmer, and then, with a swift motion, he started swinging his hands outward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a move wind mages often used, sending wind slashes cutting through the air. But just like the glow enveloping Piba, these slashes gleamed brightly as they raced toward Dame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing this, Dame quickly responded. He fired flames from his gloves to intercept the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as the fire struck Piba\u2019s enhanced wind slashes, it had no effect. The flames were extinguished instantly, and the wind attacks continued to barrel toward him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2019His attacks&#8230; they\u2019re not stronger than mine, and I even used Qi in that strike,\u2019 Dame thought, his brow furrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a flash, Dame pushed himself off the ground with a powerful kick, shifting his body to the side in one fluid motion, making it appear as if he was using wind magic himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He successfully dodged two of the strikes. But then, two more came at him from both sides. It was too late to avoid them, not without drawing suspicion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Arghhh, I\u2019ll just have to grab them!&#8221; Dame thought, determination flashing in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igniting his gloves once more, this time the flames fully surrounded his hands. With a surge of Qi, Dame reached out and&nbsp;<em>grabbed<\/em>&nbsp;the two sharp wind attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intense heat from his gloves burned through the wind-enhanced strikes until they finally shattered, disintegrating into nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oh, he must have quite the intense mana to break the attack like that,&#8221; Redrick remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Indeed,&#8221; another professor nodded. &#8220;Especially since Piba is now using his special affinity, Moon Magic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the students still watching had no idea what was happening, even after seeing the strange magic. They whispered among themselves, trying to guess what kind of power this truly was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do you know what his affinity is, Raze?&#8221; Chiba asked eagerly, as if ready to explain everything herself.&nbsp;<em>Finally<\/em>, she thought, there was something she might know that&nbsp;<em>he<\/em>&nbsp;didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yes. That\u2019s Moon Magic,&#8221; Raze replied calmly. &#8220;It\u2019s a special affinity, though it happens to be one of the most common among them. Because of that, there\u2019s quite a lot of research that\u2019s been done on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Moon Magic is an enhancer. You see, combining magic between different elements is often dangerous. If the ratio isn\u2019t right or the combination is unstable, it can lead to disastrous consequences for the mage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Even testing such things is a dangerous game. But if someone manages to succeed, the resulting spells can become&nbsp;<em>incredibly<\/em>&nbsp;powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;However, there\u2019s an exception to this rule, and that\u2019s Moon Magic. It\u2019s an affinity that mixes naturally with&nbsp;<em>any<\/em>&nbsp;type of magic, enhancing its strength significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It grants each element an additional boost in power. That\u2019s why mages with Moon Magic often become the cornerstone of their guilds. They\u2019re seen as valuable assets and essential support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And more importantly, their magic can be used on other mages as well, making them highly sought after. Even spells using Moon Magic alone serve as powerful buffs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiba was left with her mouth hanging open, speechless. She had been fully prepared to explain this to the others, but Raze had already said it all. Worse, he\u2019d even explained&nbsp;<em>more<\/em>&nbsp;than she had intended to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, she\u2019d learned something new from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s right, that\u2019s right!&#8221; Chiba said quickly, trying to recover. &#8220;And with it, it looks like your friend will finally lose this match.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strength of Moon Magic was clear. Piba had demonstrated it with both a simple wind spell and a defensive spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What had surprised the teachers, though, was Dame\u2019s ability to&nbsp;<em>break<\/em>&nbsp;an enhanced attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame, on the other hand, still had one more card up his sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>He could use his Lightning Body, activate the power of the gauntlets to channel Simyon\u2019s old ability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, he was sure it would be enough to impress. Just as he was preparing to do it, Dame caught sight of Raze giving a small thumbs-up, before quickly lowering his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A barrage of Moon-enhanced attacks was now heading straight toward Dame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, Dame activated his special gloves again, but he chose&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;to use Qi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attacks collided with his body, and in the next moment, he stomped the ground hard, kicking up a thick dust storm to block the others\u2019 view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the dust finally began to settle, Dame was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ow&#8230; ow. I\u2019m really hurt,&#8221; Dame groaned, clutching his shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had a few visible cuts on his body, but compared to the wounds he\u2019d endured as a Pagna warrior, this was nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The match has come to an end!&#8221; Panla declared. &#8220;With that, all students have participated in the first stage of the selection process for the Cultural Exchange! Please wait as we announce those who will be moving on to the second stage!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, when Dame returned, he received some&nbsp;<em>real<\/em>&nbsp;healing, along with a bit of&nbsp;<em>fake healing<\/em>&nbsp;from Safa, just to make it seem like he had taken more damage than he actually had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiba and Yolden were gleefully gloating that one of their own had finally won, but Dame didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the results were posted, and just as expected. The five top students and the five transfer students had advanced to the next stage of the assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They would soon be entering&nbsp;<em>another dimension<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For updates on&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>My Werewolf System<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>and future works, please follow me on my social media below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram:&nbsp;<em>jksmanga<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*<\/em>Patreon:&nbsp;<em>jksmanga<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When news about&nbsp;<em>My Vampire System<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>My Werewolf System<\/em>, or any other series drops, you\u2019ll hear about it there first, and if I\u2019m not too busy, I usually reply to messages!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>Report chapter&nbsp;<\/a><a>Comments<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapter 1333: A Fun Night (Part 1)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The twenty students who had been told they would move on to the next stage were absolutely overjoyed. It had been expected that the top five students would be selected, but when the five&nbsp;<em>transfer<\/em>&nbsp;students\u2019 names were also picked, the atmosphere shifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many in the crowd were disappointed, none of them could argue. After witnessing the transfer students\u2019 performances firsthand, it was clear they had earned their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiba was the first to suggest they should all come together and celebrate, and so, they did. They decided to head out for a meal just outside the Academy walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They chose a magical barbecue spot, where enchanted utensils cooked and carved the meat to perfection. The students simply selected their dishes, and the food was prepared right before their eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the others watched the floating utensils move gracefully through the air, preparing everything without them lifting a single finger, they had to remind themselves not to look too surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, Chiba lifted her glass high in front of everyone, her cheeks already tinged pink. She had a few words she wanted to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whether we won, lost, or drew today, it doesn\u2019t matter,&#8221; Chiba announced, her voice ringing with energy. &#8220;Because going forward, we are all in this together!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a few exchanged side-eyes, but reluctantly, everyone raised their glasses and cheered along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You really managed to pull it out of the bag right at the end there,&#8221; Yolden said, turning to Dame. &#8220;I was getting worried for you when Piba started using his Moon Magic. I thought you wouldn\u2019t get a chance to really show what you could do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019re telling me,&#8221; Dame replied, shaking his head. &#8220;I still haven\u2019t fully gotten the hang of these gloves, but it worked out in the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the night carried on, both the Pagna warriors and the Academy students enjoyed a large quantity of drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What surprised the mages most was how well the Pagna warriors were handling their alcohol. It was as if it wasn\u2019t affecting them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was all thanks to their warrior bodies. Each time they reached a new stage in their cultivation, more and more toxins were purged from their systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only contributed to their long lifespans, but those who neared or even reached the Divine Realm were essentially immortal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Do you guys know some kind of cleansing spell or something?&#8221; Chiba asked, her face flushed as she hiccuped softly. &#8220;No&#8230; no, that can\u2019t be possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Aren\u2019t you kids just students?&#8221; Dame said with a chuckle. &#8220;I think you should take it easy with your drinking.&#8221; He gently placed Chiba\u2019s glass down on the table. &#8220;Especially with your small body, it\u2019s going to hit you harder than the others.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiba glanced at her drink&#8230; and then back at Dame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She couldn\u2019t help but stare at his strong, handsome features, and her tipsy mind compelled her to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oi&#8230; do you think just because you\u2019re handsome you can tell me what to do?&#8221; Chiba teased. &#8220;I mean&#8230; it\u2019s working a bit. But I heard you rejected everyone, so I\u2019m not going to try. And besides, I have a rule. I don\u2019t date anyone weaker than me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dame shook his head with a smile and decided to let her drunken ramblings go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I mean, you&nbsp;<em>lost<\/em>&nbsp;to Piba, who\u2019s the number one ranked student, sure, but I can tell&#8230; I could totally kick your ass. You barely did anything apart from that&nbsp;<em>Fiery Hands, whoo!<\/em>&#8221; Chiba said, waving her hands wildly in the air. &#8220;And where was your Windy Windy Strike, huh? Not&nbsp;<em>one<\/em>&nbsp;of you used it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the evening wore on, the gathering shifted into more of a&nbsp;<em>look after the drunk ones<\/em>&nbsp;kind of night for both the warriors and the mages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Should I use my Light Magic?&#8221; Safa whispered softly. &#8220;I think I could cleanse them of the alcohol\u2019s effects.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s okay,&#8221; Raze replied calmly. &#8220;They did this because they\u2019re happy, and they wanted to drink. When we take them back&#8230; just before they fall asleep, that\u2019ll be the best time to cleanse them. That way, they\u2019ll be ready for the assessment tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ahhh&#8230; if only you hadn\u2019t lost. If only you hadn\u2019t lost to Piba&#8230; then I\u2019d make you mine,&#8221; Chiba giggled, hiccuping again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, Dame had had enough. He leaned in closer. As he did, Chiba\u2019s face grew warmer by the second. Then, she heard Dame\u2019s whispered words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The truth is&#8230; I still had a lot more to show,&#8221; Dame said softly. &#8220;I lost on purpose. I was perfectly fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the System, Liam had picked up&nbsp;<em>every single word<\/em>&nbsp;he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And Raze said he trusted you the most! You\u2019re going to blow our cover!&#8221; Liam nearly shouted, panic flashing in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Cover? What cover?&#8221; Yolden asked, frowning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it was Safa shaking her head at Liam, giving him a clear warning look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as usual, when situations like this started to spiral, everyone turned to look at Raze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stood up, his face serious, his presence commanding the room as all eyes fell on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m sorry,&#8221; Raze said simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared. Raze had been mostly silent the entire evening, and when he spoke, he had a way of pulling the room\u2019s full attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Raze&#8230; are you really going to tell them the truth?<\/em>&nbsp;Safa thought nervously.&nbsp;<em>Right now, I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a good idea.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Haha! You cheated, right?&#8221; Moze burst out, laughing. &#8220;That\u2019s what you want to say!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yolden quickly slapped a hand over Moze\u2019s mouth to shut him up. She was now staring deeply into Raze\u2019s eyes. To her, it really&nbsp;<em>did<\/em>&nbsp;seem like this was something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She had always thought it strange, five powerful transfer students arriving at the Academy like this&#8230; it had never sat quite right with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m sorry,&#8221; Raze said again. &#8220;But the truth is&#8230; us transfer students, we\u2019re really poor. We have no money. So&#8230; we\u2019re going to have to make you all cover for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For updates for MWS and future works, please follow me on my social media below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram: Jksmanga<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Patreon: jksmanga<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When news of MVS, MWS, or any other series comes out, you will be able to see it there first, and you can reach out to me.
