I scooted back closer to Sylvie, not wanting to be a part of this dispute

Olfred, who had instantly erected a shi+eld of solidified earth above hiainst his companion’s weapon, let out another scoff “Please, the only reason you weren’t blatantly ostracized is because of your background Perhaps you’ll find a huirls to sweep you off your feet”

The force of gravity increased around us, and it had becothen one out, the wood that had once been burning reduced to rubble

I stared at the two of theht of two lances—pinnacles of power in all of Dicathen—bantering like children

I drifted in and out of consciousness as scenes from my past life flashed in between the peaceful lulls of sluet resurfaced like worht Headed Despite both Nico and Cecilia trying to convinceto be a normal boy like the head unable to protect her, the woardedin return except for ht I had found it

During that short period in e with Headmaster Wilbeck to watch out for us and scold us, I was happy like any nor The headive up her own lunch to a homeless man she had just passed by, yet life repaid her kindness with a horrible and bloody death

Notout who had sent those killers after me and Nico and Cecilia as well as Head clearly “What are you even going to do once you find the to take them out all on your own? With your ability?”

That hen I realized I had to get stronger Withdrawing my application to the school, I enrolled in one of the military institutes where they trained candidates for the army

‘You were having nightain,’ she stated rather than asked

You know about these? I asked, sitting up

‘Yes, although they coetting these more frequently,’ she answered, concerned
