Chapter 38: World Academy VII

Elder Valen, now fully attentive, signaled for Asher to stop as the golem finally dissolved into dust, marking the end of his trial.

Valen nodded thoughtfully. "Ah, a Magnus—no wonder. You must be one of the Terros, yes?"

"Yes," Asher confirmed, meeting the Elder's gaze.
