“Oh? Falling out of formation again, are you? Can you even call yourselves students of Annwood Academy?” “…” “Back in my day, this would’ve been unthinkable. You know, back in my day…” Perhaps it was thanks to Lowell’s “encouragement(?)” that we managed to reach Trash Village without a single straggler. The first thing we encountered…

For two days, we were hauled around like luggage inside the cramped wagon. The wagon’s pace had noticeably slowed, and soon it came to a complete stop. “What’s this? Is it time to eat already?” “No. There’s still about an hour left until breakfast.” “Then have we arrived at our destination?” “Get off! If you…

The children began to flee, desperately trying to escape Lowell’s rampage. Lowell passed right by me but didn’t notice my presence. That was because I was hiding inside a box created by Rezé. ‘Sometimes I really think this is an absolutely broken ability…’ The outdoor training field was overgrown with knee-high grass. A gentle breeze…

Caron’s recent statement was so absurd that it bordered on lunacy. Not something you’d think, “Is he insane?” about, but rather something that would make you instinctively say, “Ah, he’s definitely lost it.” Wasn’t it? Suggesting to deploy 1st and 2nd years to a place that might harbor demons? “I must’ve misheard.” Caron, logical and…

One positive piece of news, one negative piece of news, and one piece of news that’s just so-so. Dwener instinctively knew. Even the so-so news would be closer to negative. “I only want to hear the positive news.” “Understood.

“Lo-Lowell?” It was natural for us to be shocked. After all, she had appeared suddenly—no, below our very feet. Without the [Mental Defense] skill, I might have screamed something like, ‘Kyaaaa!’ in a girlish shriek. ‘What the hell is this wretched meerkat rabbit doing that she didn’t even give us a warning?’ What greeted me…

The quest to gain Lowell’s recognition and obtain the Proof Token. It was a mission that clashed completely with my original plan of avoiding any interactions with Lowell as much as possible. ‘Honestly, I don’t want to do this…’ The penalty for refusal was a stat reduction, but considering the uniqueness of Lowell’s character, losing…

“Ugh…” Luna pulled herself out of the box. According to Rezé, a giant presence was approaching. But what was this? Instead of something massive, a small and adorable child appeared. ‘Her gaze is a bit sharp, but…’ There was no denying that the overall impression was irresistibly cute. She was the kind of child you’d…

The plaza in front of Annwood Academy’s main gate. Far removed from the bustling streets of the city. On the outskirts of even that quiet plaza stood a solitary tavern. ‘This is the place.’ A man cloaked in a robe appeared before it. It was Crowell, a low-ranking black mage who had entered into a…

Indeed, the rise in Duke Aziz’s reputation—This too was part of Dwener’s plan. “Moreover, losing honor in noble society is no different from death. Just leave it be. Let it climb to the heavens.” “I see. You truly have remarkable insight.” “Incredible insight, my foot… Wasn’t that your idea in the first place?” Dwener glared…
