Alle Kapitel von Dumped for a Weakling? Enjoy Your Loss: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Arthur Pickard abruptly unleashed his aura. As a candidate for the next Alpha, his aura was powerful enough to instinctively strike fear into the other academy trainees.My legs went weak, and I was only able to stop myself from dropping to my knees by grabbing hold of the doorframe. However, the items I had been carrying tumbled to the ground.Five medical kits, each containing blood-clotting powder and some moonleaf grass, a herb that could repel miasma. Each had a name written on the outside.As I leaned over to pick them up, I spotted from the corner of my eye four application forms on the long table—applications to remain here in the camp.The approval stamp was dated two weeks ago.The Stonefang pack was located far away at the northern border. The journey there would take us through two Mistwoods, and a round trip would take at least six days.From the beginning, I had been unwilling to go. It was only because they had urged me to join them, saying that they didn't want us

Once the last ray of sunlight vanished, the mistvine plants bloomed in droves. Miasma crept toward me across the ground, and soon it rose above my boots.I opened my herb satchel, ripped open the pouch of moonleaf grass, and tossed some into my mouth. After chewing it thoroughly, I tucked the paste under my tongue, then ripped off a corner of my shirt to cover my nose and mouth.I couldn't push the stone gates open from inside the forest, and the walls were too high for me to scale or jump over.The miasma released by the mistvine plants scrambled one's sense of direction, so my best chance of survival was to find moonleaf grass growing in the forest. By following where they grew, I could avoid the areas where the miasma was thickest.I tried to call upon my wolf spirit, but a wave of dull ache spread through me from deep in my bones. I knew this meant that the miasma toxin had already seeped into my blood.Deep in my mind, my wolf spirit threw itself against its confines in agita

After the supply convoy entered a closed-off stretch of road, a staff member in the Royal Academy of Healers uniform joined us."From now on, you'll only be known by your research ID number." He took my phone and placed it in a sealed bag. "During the duration of the project, your identity records will be sealed, your personal phone number will be suspended, and your mind links won't be able to get through the barrier around the border."I nodded. "Understood."The supply convoy resumed its journey, heading straight through the thick fog that shrouded the mountain path leading to the border.I shut my eyes.At long last, nobody would be telling me to be more understanding and considerate. Nobody would decide where I went or tell me I had to give up my spot for someone else.Meanwhile, back at the camp, Arthur stood in the empty sickroom at the treatment center. A terrible scowl darkened his features as he stared at the empty bed and the neatly folded blanket."Where's Nora?"Th

"When you went past the Graywoods that night, did you notice anything strange?"Ethan was silent for a long moment before he answered, "I caught Nora's scent.""Why didn't you investigate it?""Arthur said that there was no way she would enter the forest. Lucas was also urging us to leave because Beth wasn't feeling well, so we had to escort her back to her dorm quickly."The Head Elder stared at him. "And so you left?"Bowing his head, Ethan replied, "Yes."Lucas, who had been standing by the wall nearby, went ashen.That night, they had all heard Ethan's words, yet not a single one of them had stopped to verify whether it really had been me.As the culprit who had locked the gates, Lia was also brought in for questioning again.Her exile from the camp hadn't been carried out yet, so when she learned they were reinvestigating the case, she finally admitted the truth."It was Beth who told me that Nora was afraid of the Graywoods. She also told me that I just needed to scare

The Royal Academy of Healers held its research findings presentation at the imperial city. For the first time ever, the identities of the staff involved in the confidential project were released to the public.On the day of the official announcement, the camp notice board was crowded with people.At the very top of the notice was the name of the new antidote, "Homeward No. 1 Miasma Inhibitor."Below that was a list of the core researchers who had worked on the antidote."Head Antidote Researcher: Nora Brighton."Arthur stood at the edge of the crowd, staring at that name for who knew how long.Over the past ten years, he had considered countless possibilities. One of them was that I had died long ago, and the Royal Academy of Healers had simply been keeping my death a secret.It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized what I had been doing for the past ten years.…The day of the research findings presentation, Arthur and the other three sat in the very last row.I
