Chapter 237: Edgar’s Wish

Lumi giggled teasingly,

[You’re just excited to see Nyss and Arya again, aren’t you, Master. (≧◡≦)]

Orion laughed softly, shaking his head. ’I wonder how they would react if I told them I learned Runesmithing during this time. I also managed to craft a Tier 1 sword yesterday.’ ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

[Yes, Master! But then Grandma Selene requested you for it. You didn’t even hesitate to give it away! She seemed very pleased too!]

Lumi replied brightly.

Orion smiled warmly, recalling Selene’s proud expression when he’d presented the flawless Tier 1 blade to her. ’She probably wanted it as a keepsake to mark my progress. And if Grandma wants it, how could I possibly refuse?’

The carriage rolled smoothly onward, and Orion turned his thoughts to the present day. ’Today marks the end of Vice Dean Hargan’s test.’

[Ah, yes! The one where everyone must successfully create their Affinity Rune within a month. But Master finished it so quickly—just within a few days! It felt like you barely started and were already done!]

Lumi exclaimed excitedly, pride clear in her cheerful voice.

Orion chuckled softly, ’Well, that’s because it was me. For most students, forming an Affinity Rune for the first time is genuinely difficult. Even Elias took such a long time, and he’s one of the best in our batch.’

He gazed thoughtfully through the carriage window, imagining the atmosphere that would soon envelop the academy. ’I wonder how many will fail and be eliminated today...’

[Do you think there will be a lot eliminated, Master? (・・?)]

Lumi asked curiously.

Orion’s expression turned thoughtful as he nodded slowly, ’Unfortunately, yes. Last I heard, one-third of the students get eliminated in the first year. I don’t know how many tests there will be, but quite a few commoners and low-ranking nobles will be eliminated.’

He continued quietly, sympathy clear in his voice, ’The academy isn’t a gentle place. Those who can’t meet standards must leave. It’s harsh, but it also ensures the strength and talent of the remaining students. Vice Dean Hargan made it clear at the start.’

Lumi floated closer, her hologram expression turning serious for a rare moment.

[But Master, what happens to those eliminated students? Can’t they try again later?]

’Of course they can. And all of them will form their Affinity Rune later.’ Orion replied softly, ’That’s how the kingdom’s military works, and how low-ranking nobles survive.’

[Haa... Everyone has their own destiny, huh.]

Orion softly nodded but didn’t comment further.

After a while of silence, Lumi spoke,

[Soul Path is so hard, Master. Even after trying for days you couldn’t ignite your Life Fire. (｡•́︿•̀｡)]

He softly chuckled inwardly, ’I can’t get everything easily now, can I? But I can feel it’s close. I should be able to ignite my Life Fire either today or tomorrow.’

The carriage slowed slightly as they neared the gates of Thunderpeak Royal Academy. Orion straightened, adjusting his uniform calmly and neatly.

’Regardless,’ Orion concluded gently, ’we’ll see when I ignite it soon enough.’
