All Chapters of Rebirth of the Luckiest Failure: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kael woke at the sixth hour, without an alarm, lying in the dark for a moment, listening to the early morning quiet. The distant footsteps below echoed as the bell marked the sixth hour.He had slept lightly, his mind active throughout the night, allowing only his body to rest. It wasn't poor sleep, but it wasn't refreshing either. His alertness is influenced more by the system notes than by the rest.'You are being assessed. Not by the academy.'He sat up. The Core rested on the desk where he had placed it before sleeping, pulsing slowly and steadily.( Standard )Whatever was coming had not arrived yet. Kael dressed up, put the Core in his jacket pocket, and went to get breakfast.Mira was already in the dining hall, her notebook open and a cup of something hot beside her. She looked up when Kael sat down, assessed his expression as she always did, then returned her attention to her notebook. "Professor Hale sent a note du

The argument didn't remain in Director Orath's office for long. Once enough people heard it, it spread quickly. By the time Kael left the administration building at the eleventh hour, rumors about him, the artifact, and the split between the academy and the Foundation were already circulating. Mira was waiting outside with her notebook open, looked at his face, and joined him, asking, "That's problematic?""Yes," Kael replied."Are the Academy and Foundation problematic?" she asked."Yes," Kael confirmed once more.As they walked, she wrote that down.( Standard )The crowd filled the ranking hall, more than the posted schedule indicated. By noon, it wasn't just first-years but also second- and third-year students, along with faculty, creating a tense atmosphere.Kael felt the weight of the hall before stepping inside, a clear sense of pressure from the gathered attention.Mira whispered, "Don't lo

The bell rang at the next hour, but nothing happened. The corridor outside Director Orath's office was quiet.Mira used the time to write, while Professor Hale recalibrated his compass.Darius stood by the east window with his arms folded, watching the courtyard below.Aren sat on the bench, staring at a document he wasn't reading.Lyra took her place at the far end of the corridor, her eyes focused on the service passage linking the ranking hall to the assessment annex. "No one has used that door today," she said."It is for document transfers," Aren replied without looking up. "Not for people, unless you have a key from the assessment office or the Foundation registry."Then the door opened, and three figures stepped through. They were not students or faculty members, but wore the standard Foundation grey attire. One carried a sealed folder, another held a steel case marked with containment sigils, and the third stood slightly ahead of the

Kael could no longer see the chamber, Professor Hale, or Mira.When Kael took the right path, he moved a distance of ten meters, then twenty meters, as the sound of a collapse faded behind him. He realizes he is alone, a sensation he hasn't felt since the initial weeks of his time at the academy, before Professor Hale, Darius, and Lyra became familiar figures he took for granted until they were no longer present.( Standard )Upon reaching a junction, he stops to assess his surroundings.Across the gap, a chamber mouth glowed with the same amber light the walls had been showing, steady and rhythmic, pulsing in a pattern he recognized because it matched the Core against his chest.His panel opened.[ Distance to Anchor: 87 meters ]He read it and looked across the gap. Eighty-seven meters, and that means the chamber was real, not a residual echo. Something was waiting on the other side, and the system

( Standard )The mother unit changed its approach.It decided to use quick, single-guardian attacks to check the edges of the ring and see how the field would respond, looking for possible weaknesses. This method matched his sustainable strategy.( Alert )Hours went by unnoticed as an anchor provided water and food during occasional battles. He saved energy by resting between fights, allowing the field to manage timing while he concentrated on his moves. The ring expanded five meters, its light forcing the guardians back while the mother unit pulsed bright amber from the dome.( Surge )The dome opened completely this time. The mother unit landed in the middle of the expanded ring, moving together as one with every eye focused and every tendril extended. The chamber shook.His panel opened.[ Luck: SSS ][ Synchronization: 60% ]
