บท 1: Ch 1: Infinite Soul Star

╠ Great Flame Kingdom ╣

_Midnight City_

It was the end of January, and the chill of winter permeated the world.

Under the cover of night, Midnight City lay shrouded in a deep slumber.

In the northern district of Midnight City, within a nondescript apartment, a young man lay peacefully asleep in his room.

Abruptly, a brilliant light illuminated the confines of the room, casting fleeting shadows before vanishing without a trace, as if it had never appeared and graced the space with its presence.

On the surface, there seemed to be no change in the young man, however, the change taking place inside him was huge.

.....

One year later…

In the classroom of more than 50 people in the first class of Midnight City Academy, Advin, the bespectacled class teacher, was explaining the simulation scroll of the Soul Beast Illustrated Book on the podium.

[A/N:- A simulation scroll is an artifact that allows the user to simulate or experience various scenarios or battles without real-world consequences. The simulation scrolls come in various grades.]

"As for the last question, the basic information of the berserk lizard..."

Advin slightly put down the simulation scroll he was holding with his left hand, held his glasses with his right hand, and looked up at the students in the class.

"Speaking of berserk lizards, it has often been tested in recent years. All its basic information as well as the methods to deal with it when encountered, etc., which student will tell us in detail?"

Hearing Advin's question, the students below quietly lowered their heads. None of them chose to speak.

There are tens of thousands of Soul Beasts in the Infinite Soul Star. This berserk lizard is one of the more remote Soul Beasts. If it is just about telling the basic information of this beast, it would have been fine, but if you want to diverge from basic information to methods to deal with this beast, not many students can say it all.

Of course, there were also a few students in the class who looked determined, as if they knew the answer but did not stand up and answer.

No matter where you are, in the face of the teacher's questions in the classroom, the students who are willing to take the initiative to answer are still a minority after all.

Since there was no one to answer, Advin chose to pick a student to answer. Advin's eyes quickly swept over the many students below, but he couldn't help frowning when he saw a student beside the window.

Sitting in the mid-row by the window was a handsome boy with black hair and black eyes, who was quietly staring at the simulated scroll at this time, seemingly serious, but if one looks closely, one will find that this handsome boy seemed to be a little distracted.

"Emrys, you tell me the answer," Advin called out to the handsome boy directly.

When Emrys heard his name, his eyes blinked, and he quickly came to his senses.

Emrys looked at Advin, who was staring at him on the podium, and quickly realized that the current situation should be that the teacher asked some questions and "luckily" selected himself.

But he was indeed distracted just now and was unaware of the question asked by his teacher.

Emrys slowly stood up, and at the same time, his eyes quickly swept over the simulation scroll. Many Soul Beasts' details were present there, but the one at the end was 'Fluorescent Butterfly'.

Fluorescent Butterfly...

Emrys's gaze fell on the simulated scroll on the table in front of him and quickly locked on the Fluorescent Butterfly.

The information about the Fluorescent Butterfly flashed in his eyes and was about to try to answer, but a low reminder suddenly came from the right side: "Basic information about Berserk Lizards and methods to deal with them."

When Emrys heard this reminder, his heart moved slightly, and after a little thought, he opened his mouth and answered: "Berserk Lizard is just an ordinary Soul Beast, however, its strength is equal to a Soul Apprentice at the Sixth Order. It is a Soul Beast with a relatively outstanding physique and strength."

"It only has two skills: Berserk (Normal), and Savage Dash (Normal)."

"It usually lives in forests, swamps, etc."

"As for its weakness, the vulnerability lies in its eyes, and also, its tail root is very fragile. If hit hard, its tail will be separated from the body, causing this beast's overall balance to break and it'll show many flaws. At that time, we can easily deal with this Soul Beast."

"Good, very good!"

Listening to Emrys's detailed and accurate answer, Advin's frown gradually relaxed, and he nodded appreciatively.

Advin looked at Emrys and said in a deep voice: "Concentrate in class, even if you can't awaken your Soul Mark, with your literary level, the way out after graduation will not be bad."

Emrys nodded his head and said, "Thank you teacher for reminding me."

Waving his hand to signal Emrys to sit down, Advin looked at the student who had perfectly answered his question, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Emrys used to have great talent. He broke through to the Sixth Order Soul Apprentice in the first year of high school and was the first Soul Apprentice to reach the sixth order in the entire Midnight City Academy. He instantly became famous and was pinned on high hopes by the school.

The school provided Emrys with a Soul Orb that could help him awaken his Soul Mark, however, he failed, resulting in slow progress in his cultivation.

Until now, halfway through the third year of high school, he is only in the Seventh Order of Soul Apprentice.

Those students who were originally left behind by him increased their cultivation after the awakening Soul Mark, and they all quickly caught up with him. Some students stepped into the Seventh and even Eighth Order of the Soul Apprentice one after another.

"What a pity..."

Advin also felt sorry for Emrys.

Fortunately, other than cultivation, everything about him is still excellent. He always tops literary exams. His theoretical knowledge is outstanding.

Advin retracted his gaze, picked up the simulation scroll, and said, "Then the next question..."

Sitting back in his seat, Emrys was slightly relieved.

"It was really dangerous. I almost embarrassed myself in front of all the people."

Remembering the reminder just now, Emrys turned his head to look to the right.

Sitting on the right is a girl who looks very fresh and capable. She was sitting straight, and her right hand was casually turning a pen, gently swinging.

"I didn't expect Alisia to actually help me." Emrys was a little surprised and muttered in his heart.

There are two Soul Master Classes and fifteen ordinary classes in Midnight City Academy. Among the two Soul Master classes, the number of people who have reached the Eighth Order of Soul Apprentice so far is only two. Both of them are genius students who want to be admitted into the top twenty Soul Master Academies in the Desolation Region of the Great Flame Kingdom.

This Alisia is one of them, straightforward and a little cold.

Coupled with the awakening of the Elite-level White Soul Mark, her strength is very strong. Because of her strength, the other girls in the class do not approach her to talk, and the boys are too afraid to provoke her. In short, she has no friends.

Emrys whispered, "Thank you."

Alisia just glanced at Emrys expressionlessly, then looked at the podium again, and said nothing else.

"This girl's nature is really cold..."

Emrys shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, retracting his gaze. Then he secretly called in his heart: "Status!"

With a slight blur in front of his eyes, a translucent panel that could not be seen by others appeared in front of Emrys.

[Name: Emrys Frazier.

Cultivation: Soul Apprentice Seventh Order.

Soul Mark: None.

Soul Point: 9.

Unique Skill: Orb Enhancement.]
