Limitless Academy


    Korner: "How are the students of Class B?"


    Elizabeth, visibly exhausted, replies,


    "They''re doing well. Their progress is remarkable."


    Korner: "Do you think they''re on the level of second-year students?"


    Elizabeth: "I don''t know. The last time I saw them was during the mission to rescue the Lavalik clan. They were still in the first stage. You only saw them that time as well."


    Korner leans back against the wall.


    Korner: "True, but Director Euron told me that, according to records, they are the strongest students the academy has recruited in years—aside from Yaraso, Langst, Aelius, and Rivan, of course."


    Elizabeth: "That''s impressive."


    Korner: "Indeed, but not all of them. Director Euron singled out a few."


    Elizabeth: "Which ones?"


    Korner: "Kyotai Winn, Neron Ryum, Leo Vitalite, Sai Vitalite, and the fifth is likely Kinto Shinga."


    Elizabeth: "Shinga? I didn''t know any of them aspired to be warriors."


    Korner: "It''s clear he broke his family''s rules. But I didn''t expect you to know about such things."


    Elizabeth: "I''ve started reading more lately."


    Korner: "That''s good."


    Unknown Location


    Five people are sitting together, talking. Their voices are familiar. A girl speaks in a trembling voice,


    "But Grace, Sky Kingdom is in the sky, and I''m afraid of heights!"


    Grace: "Don''t be so scared, Lily. Have a little courage. Besides, we want revenge, don''t we, Alex?"


    Alex: "Exactly. Our goal is to kill every one of them. As for you, Alvis, Leader Isaac has given you the choice to go or stay. What will you choose?"


    Alvis, filled with hatred but trying to control his emotions, says,


    "Of course, I''m going. I''ll kill Karez and Garin. Don''t you dare get in my way, Karoi, or I''ll cut you down with them."


    Karoi: "You speak with a lot of confidence for a third-level servant. Show some respect to those ranked above you, ''returned from the dead''."


    Grace: "Let me correct you—''returned from the dead''… all of us."


    Alex: "We just have to wait a little longer. "


    Sky Kingdom


    The day passes, and the students finish their training. They return to their quarters, having already decided to stay for another week before heading to the Kingdom of Ogrulia. Everyone is asleep.


    4:23 AM


    Beatrix wakes up to get some water. The place is eerily quiet, with only the creaking of wooden floors beneath her feet.


    As she turns to go back to her room, the wall in front of her suddenly shatters. Someone lunges at her, but she barely manages to block the attack.


    The sound of the wall breaking wakes everyone up. They grab their weapons quickly. It becomes clear that the attacker is not alone—there are others with him.


    Leo: "I knew this was going to happen. Damn it!"


    Kani: "What should we do?!"


    Neron: "Our priority is protecting the civilians. Move quickly!"


    Karoi: "No need. You''re not in reality. This is another dimension we created and pulled you into while you were sleeping. We didn''t want you getting outside help."


    Hakan: "This was a premeditated attack."


    Kyotai: "Let''s end this quickly."


    Beatrix: "I hate surprise attacks."


    Karez: "Wait… that guy!"


    Alvis: "It''s been a long time, Karez."


    The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    Karez envelope his feet in Shinta to boost his speed and dashes toward Alvis, pushing him far away. Garin, Kaiser, and Kano follow.


    Alex speaks with a wide grin,


    "It would be rude not to introduce myself. I''m Alex."


    Leo: "Huh?… Alex?!"


    Kinto: "That shouldn''t be possible."


    Grace: "I wanted to fight that ninja man, but at least I can kill his students."


    Kyotai: "Seriously? They came back from the dead?"


    Grace: "Karoi, who''s your prey?"


    Karoi: "I think I''ll choose… that red-haired girl."


    Beatrix: "You''re quite confident in yourself."


    Karoi: "And that one with the long hair."


    Kani: "Guess I won''t be tying my hair up then."


    Karoi: "Also… that boy with the frozen expression."


    Arian: "Me?"


    Hakan: "You idiot. Picking them specifically proves how much of a coward you are. I''m fighting alongside them."


    Karoi: "You''re annoying me."


    Itor: "That girl looks scared."


    Alex: "Stop trembling, Lily!"


    Lily: "I-I''m sorry! Really sorry…"


    Neron: "Itor."


    Itor uses his ability to grab Lily, taking her away from the rest. He also takes Mary, Neron, and Damian.


    Grace follows them


    Kyotai: "That leaves us, monster of the organs."


    Alex: "Exactly what I wanted."


    Alex suddenly sprouts wings and flies into the air. Leo summons Betelus and takes flight as well, grabbing Kyotai and Kinto with a rope of darkness and pulling them up. Sai enhances his body with his ability and leaps high to grab onto Betelus.


    Leo: "Flying up won''t help you much."


    Alex: "You sound confident, Leo."


    Leo: "My confidence is at its peak right now. Until the sun rises, I have the advantage."


    Meanwhile, Karez has taken Alvis to Era Island in record time by using his ability to propel himself toward metal on the island.


    Upon arrival, Karez gathers metal to create a platform beneath him. He then strikes Alvis in the chest without giving him time to react, sending him flying back. But Alvis stops midair.


    Alvis: "Stability Shingen"


    Karez: "Shingen Stability?…"


    Alvis: "It''s a Shingen technique I invented myself. As you can see, I can stand on air thanks to it. You''re not the only one who''s improved, Karez. And now… no, we… are Dreamers."


    Karez freezes in shock. His mind races, recalling the village mayor words about the next level of power.


    Garin arrives at the place while standing on the mist he created.


    Garin: "Excuse me, Alvis, but being a dreamer won''t help you in any way."


    Alvis: "You don''t understand, Garin Lavalik. When someone returns to life as a dreamer, they become stronger than before—of course, if they choose to. I am stronger than the Alvis you saw that day. Here and now, you will die, and after that, I will wipe out the Lavalik family completely."


    Kaiser rises into the air with them, thanks to Garin''s ability.


    Kaiser: "Even though I don''t know you, and even though the Lavalik family is difficult to change, we won''t let you do this easily. You plan to wipe out the Lavalik family after killing us, right? You should know that this, in itself, is a dream."


    Alvis: "You, in particular, I despise, Kaiser."


    Kaiser replies mockingly:


    "It pleases me to hear that."


    At Neron''s location, they arrive at the training site.


    Lily uses her ability, making a large leaf appear in her hand.


    Lily: "Stay away from me!"


    She swings the leaf, sending Itor flying, but he grabs onto a tree using mercury and uses his ability to restrain Lily.


    Itor: "What exactly is your ability?"


    Damian: "I don''t think it''s just that leaf."


    Neron: "No, it''s impossible. If fighting her was that easy, they wouldn''t have brought her along."


    Mary: "Unless she''s a support-type."


    Neron: "They wouldn''t let her go so easily."


    Mary: "You''re right."


    At that moment, Grace attacks them with a gust of wind.


    They dodge, allowing Lily to break free.


    Grace: "It''s not very nice to attack a frightened person."


    Mary: "Good thing we know her ability."


    Itor: "Absorption is going to be a problem for us."


    Damian: "If we keep her in the air, she''ll be forced to use only wind, which means I''ll have to defeat her."


    Itor: "That also means I shouldn''t use my ability on her, since she''ll absorb the mercury and use it against us."


    Neron: "Was anything else mentioned about her ability?"


    Mary: "It was said that she can use whatever she absorbs for five minutes."


    Damian: "That''s a lot."


    Grace: "All this planning, and the best you could come up with is a cheap trick to keep me in the air? Are you weak, or am I just that strong?"


    Itor: "This girl is annoying."


    Mary, annoyed: "I''m going to put an arrow in her mouth."


    Damian, grinning: "What are your orders, Captain?"


    Neron: "Defeat her with minimal... no, with zero casualties!"


    Itor, Mary, and Damian: "Yes, sir!"


    While Kyotai''s team is in the air, Hakan''s team is on the ground.


    Kani: "Did you mean to call us weak??!"


    Hakan: "I just wanted to make a dramatic entrance, that''s all."


    Arian: "Explosions."


    Beatrix: "You mean his entrance was dramatic?"


    Arian: "Yes."


    Hakan: "Alright, guys, let''s take down this girly-looking guy."


    Karoi, annoyed: "Girly-looking? I''m going to rip your head off..."


    Hakan, thinking: "It''s clear this fight won''t be easy. I mustn''t underestimate him at all."


    Hakan: "Merging hand-to-hand and foot fighting styles!"


    Arian activates his ability, and Kani prepares her body to produce glass.


    Beatrix: "Man, fighting without weapons is so comfortable. I wonder how this will go."


    Hakan Wraps his legs with Shinta and launches himself at Karoi at high speed, but Karoi prepares to defend.


    Beatrix enhances Hakan''s speed with wind, making him reach Karoi faster than expected.


    Hakan uses his ability to reduce his damage by 4%, but the hit is still significant due to his speed.


    Hakan: "This is a bad start. My luck is definitely getting worse."


    Karoi: "Your ability isn''t easy to understand."


    Arian doesn''t wait and attacks Karoi, but Karoi blocks effortlessly.


    Arian: "Hand-to-hand fighting style technique: Lion''s Hand!"


    With his ability and combat technique, Arian lunges at Karoi again, but his hand slows down and stops just before reaching him, giving Karoi the chance to kick Arian away.


    Then, Karoi notices several shards of glass around him.


    They shoot toward him, but some slow down and stop, while others miss him entirely.


    Hakan engages in direct combat with him, and Beatrix joins in with her ability and exceptional physical strength.


    Hakan: "I didn''t know you were this strong in direct combat."


    Beatrix: "I owe it to Revan."


    Arian, thinking:''My hardening couldn''t withstand that attack... I''ve never felt pain like this before.''


    The fight continues, and it''s clear that Karoi has no trouble, while Hakan refrains from using his ability, wanting to first understand Karoi''s power.


    Beatrix uses her ability to disrupt Karoi''s movements and enhance herself. Kani keeps trying to hit Karoi with glass, but all the shards stop before reaching him.


    Hakan, thinking: "His ability likely creates an invisible barrier around him that stops everything… but some attacks do get through. What kind of ability is this…?"


    Karoi uses a Shinton blast to push Beatrix back, then drops low and kicks Hakan in the chin before landing another kick to his chest.


    ''What should I do? I can''t intervene in this fight no matter how much I think about it...'' Arian was lost in his thoughts


    At that moment, a familiar voice calls out to Arian—it''s Kano.


    Kano: "Arian!"


    Arian, thinking:''Kano?... What is he doing here?''


    Kani,surprised: "brother??"


    A few minutes earlier…


    Karez: "Let''s go."


    Thanks to a nearby junkyard, Karez uses his ability to pull metals from there.


    Garin creates floating platforms for them, which follow them wherever they go.


    Kaiser attacks Alvis with his ability, but lava begins to fall toward the city below.


    Kano uses his ability to create a layer of sand covering the area, preventing the lava from reaching the city.


    Karez raises his hand toward Alvis, and suddenly, he is pulled toward him at high speed.


    During his training with Rivan, Karez realized his power wasn''t magnetism but magnetic waves. Using this, he attached a wave to a piece of metal on Alvis'' clothes, pulling himself toward him.


    Garin joins them, making it three versus one.


    Karez wraps his fists with Shinta and engages Alvis in close combat alongside Kaiser.


    Alvis tries to cut them with his ability, but all his attacks are shallow, as they dodge at the last moment.


    Fighting Alvis up close is difficult since it makes his attacks more precise.


    Karez uses his ability to block Alvis'' attacks, then applies it to Garin''s sword—since Garin is gripping it tightly—to fling it behind Alvis, allowing him to land a powerful blow on his back.


    Even so, they are still far from victory, as something like this won''t happen easily again.


    Kano gets an idea and shouts to Kaiser:


    "Kaiser! Don''t use your ability at all!"


    Kaiser, thinking:''he''s obviously going to stop using his ability"


    Kano manipulates the sand to carry the lava out of the city and into the sea below. Then, he wraps his feet with Shinta and dashes at full speed toward Karoi''s battle.


    Present moment


    Kano: "Arian! Let''s switch places!"


    Arian: "What?... "


    Kano: "Trust me!"


    Arian: "As you say."


    Kano reaches Arian, grabs him, and spins quickly, using his momentum to hurl Arian into the air.


    Arian covers half the distance thanks to the move, then wraps his feet to continue toward Alvis'' battle.


    Kano joins the fight against Karoi.


    Kano: "Let me shine a little."


    Karoi: "You talk nicely. I''ll decorate your corpse with pure gold."


    Kano: "I''d prefer ruby."


    Karoi: "If that''s your final wish."
