Chapter 11: The Crown Dormitory

The atmosphere inside Noctis Academy had changed overnight. Yesterday, students had been excitedly discussing new classes, powerful professors, and which clubs they hoped to join. Today, every corridor echoed with whispers about the mysterious first-year who had somehow become the center of the academy's first Void invasion in over twenty years. I didn't need the stares to know they were talking about me. The moment I stepped out of the administration building, conversations stopped as though someone had muted the entire campus. Some students openly stared. Others quickly looked away the instant our eyes met. A few gathered in small groups, pretending to study notice boards while stealing glances in my direction. "...That's her." "I heard all four Crown Kings protected her." "They say the Void ignored everyone else." "No, I heard she fainted." "My cousin said she released forbidden mana." "Her first day of school and something disastrous happened, I think she is cursed." Rum

Chapter 12 – A New Home

The moment the Headmaster's office fell silent, the mysterious man slowly withdrew his hand from the black crystal floating before him. The image of Noctis Academy dissolved into countless fragments of light before disappearing completely, leaving only the dim glow of ancient runes carved into the walls of the underground chamber. Behind him, the Void Alpha remained kneeling, its enormous body covered in wounds that had yet to heal. "Should we retrieve her now?" it asked in a rough voice. The man remained quiet for several seconds before shaking his head. "No. The Crown Dormitory is the safest place in the academy. Ironically, it is also where fate will move the fastest." He turned slightly toward the creature, though his face remained hidden beneath the hood. "The Crown has accepted its fifth piece. Let them believe they are protecting her. Every move they make only brings the prophecy closer to awakening." Without another word, he disappeared into the darkness, leaving the Void Alph

chapter 13 : Haggling prices

The afternoon sun bathed the streets surrounding Noctis Academy in a warm golden glow as Orion, Kael, and I made our way deeper into the academy's bustling marketplace. The closer we walked, the livelier the atmosphere became. Merchants enthusiastically called out today's specials while students from every race wandered between colorful stalls carrying baskets overflowing with fresh produce and enchanted trinkets. A dwarf blacksmith hammered glowing metal into elegant cookware beside an elderly elf selling herbs that released faint sparkles whenever the wind brushed against them. Beastkin children chased tiny floating lights through the square, their laughter blending naturally with the cheerful conversations filling the market. It was noisy, vibrant, and wonderfully alive. I found myself slowing down every few steps, unable to decide where to look first. Orion noticed my curiosity almost immediately and smiled. "Since I had already decided what to prepare for dinner, I h

chapter 14: A peaceful dinner

While the stew simmered gently over the fire, I turned my attention to the potatoes. After peeling them, I cut each one into evenly sized pieces before tossing them into a wooden bowl with melted butter, freshly minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of coarse salt. Using my hands, I mixed everything together until every piece was evenly coated before spreading them across a baking tray. The rich aroma of butter and herbs immediately filled the kitchen as I slid the tray into the stone oven. Beside me, Orion watched with quiet interest, occasionally asking questions about each step, while Kael leaned lazily against the counter, his eyes following every movement—not because he wanted to learn, but because he was impatient to eat. I couldn't help smiling to myself. "You're staring at the food like it might run away," I teased. Kael didn't even bother denying it. "After smelling all this? I honestly think waiting should be considered a form of torture."I
