Chapter 26 — The Talent Found at the End of Jealousy (1) 1 Manus arrived at the library. There was no better place to spend time until nightfall. Countless books. Letters, formulas, the scent of paper. Isn’t the library said to be a treasure trove of knowledge? To Manus’ eyes, that saying seemed to be…

Chapter 25 — There’s No End to Hatred 1 Class B. Melanie attended class with an anxious heart again today. Since that incident, when Manus helped her, no one had bothered her.

Chapter 24 — You Were a Caesar Too 1 The knights who came running in were a mix of bewilderment, shock, and confusion. Brions, the undead monsters, lay dead in piles, and the face of the knight they had been searching for was visible. That wasn’t all. The scorched scenery and the lingering smell of…

Chapter 23 — That’s Not How You Use Black Magic 1 Deep darkness. It was a space that gave a sense of isolation, as if separated from the world. The echoing sound of each step revealed just how deep this passage was. It was so perfectly dark that without light magic, one could have fallen…

Chapter 20 — The Prodigal Son Returns 1 Morning dawned on the Caesar family. The mansion was massive.

Chapter 18 — I Am Caesar 1 The duel with a professor was one of the most dreaded tests for students after their second year.

Chapter 17 — We’re in the Same Class! 1 It’s common for close friends to be separated during school years. When moving up to higher grades. When advancing to elementary, middle, or high school.
