The next day. (Due to caching reasons, please have users directly browse the website in their browser to view the fastest chapter updates).

In the clear morning sunlight, a magitech rail train roared into the central station of Ikareth.

This station, built with terracotta bricks, is the transportation hub of the entire Heton Kingdom. It blends classical and modern styles, with its soaring arched ceiling, marble pillars, frescoes, and stained glass windows that leave a deep impression on first-time visitors.

Until the mechanical behemoth on the platform level came to a halt, accompanied by an announcement that lasted for several seconds, every carriage door opened.

Compared to ordinary travelers, a group of students emerged from the luxurious first-class carriage. They appeared young on the surface, yet possessed a demeanor that was both composed and profound.

They walked through the bustling station hall, weaving around the crowds and tourists who were deliberating over wares in the Hetton Kingdom specialty shops.

They were eye-catching in the station hall, and many people's eyes were drawn to them amidst the crowds.

Besides the leading professor, young men and women all wore well-tailored suits with ties bearing the coat of arms of the Royal Academy of Avalor, a fiery red flame on a black checkered pattern. The double-breasted jackets had pointed lapels. Compared to military uniforms, they omitted epaulets and military sleeve patches. The cuffs, hem, and edges of the pockets were trimmed in different colors representing their year and house.

Among these students, the visitors from Ictere saw the youthful energy and confidence characteristic of young prodigies, as well as their maturity and steadiness as strong individuals.

The Alolan royal academic delegation consisted of around twenty people, with several third-year students being particularly formidable. Even in the current world, they would be considered extremely powerful fighters.

Compared to the comprehensive Hekate Academy, the Royal Avalor Academy is a school that excels in practical combat in both the mortal and shadow worlds. Its primary focus is on training fighters.

Correspondingly, scholars and artificers are not as evenly distributed as at the Icterus Academy.

In past years, visiting teams from the Aloran Royal Academy would bring a number of promising logistics-oriented students to learn at the Chainmail and Artificery departments.

But this year is different. They mainly brought talented students with specialized combat skills, looking quite ready to challenge others.

On one side, there is the extremely hostile relationship between Julianna, the Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Alorean, and Loren, the Dean of the Wise Academy at Ecreath.

On the other hand, Yarlond Royal Academy's traditionally weak magic engineering department had rarely seen such a rare talent. Having just entered his second year, he had already obtained the South Continental Gold-ranked Cardmaker's License.

Even now, at the esteemed Icterus Academy, there are few sophomore-level students who reach the rank of Gold-tier Card Maker. Even among the junior-year students, those who hold the Gold-tier title are rare.

This time, there was a hint of arrogance in his words.

All in all, the relationship between the two academies has been very good for many years. In recent years, with the change of leadership, there has been a gradual sense of rivalry.

Since Duke Myriah, Heton Kingdom hasn't seen such a dazzling card master.

Who knows if Duke Myria is truly missing or has betrayed his country There were rumors before that the mysterious Dark Bishop of the Resurrection Church was actually Duke Myria. Although it was always treated as a joke, it's starting to feel more and more real now.

Don't say such things in other people's countries.

"It's fine, I heard that the style of the Iketerite Academy is to not treat people as humans. They are even harsher on their own people than on foreigners."

The students in the team were chatting.

Arriving from the platform level to the concourse of Ikerete Central Station, they were greeted by the fresh air and warm sunlight of Ikerete.

"This is Iketerite"

The young man in the front had a neat and sharp haircut. The rising sun shone down on his head, making his hair sparkle. His eyes were clear and bright, like stars.

As Juliana's blade, I shall go and learn from the most gifted students under Master Loren.

The cheerful young man looked very confident, and his purpose for this trip was also quite clear.

He was indeed very strong. Back then, when he fought against the Son of Decay, he only lost narrowly.

The sworn enemy of Grand Master Juliana, head of the Knights of the Alorean Kingdom, is the corrupt Bishop Faem.

And the goddess of fate taught the high priest Loren that his enemy was the Annihilation Bishop Ivannos.

To date, numerous clergy of the Goddess of Fate have perished at the hands of the Destructive Saintess. Yet, Loren has never cultivated a young person capable of countering the Destructive Saintess.

Loren, too indecisive and soft-hearted, incapable of being strict, is simply a failed educator.

Not everyone has the talent of a monster like Lorne, and even with Lorne's gentle educational approach, good seeds can be ruined by him.

So I guess I can only stay at school and collect awards.

When it comes to education, Julianna has already surpassed Lauren by a lot.

The youth thought.

"But you can rest assured, Karin-chan. I know my limits and won't make Principal Loren difficult."

The young man turned back and addressed the girl with pale hair, emerald eyes, and an elegant air who was walking behind him.

"If possible, I hope Senior Adams won't start any fights. Though I know you're doing it for Lady Juliana's sake, I... just don't want you to get hurt."

This girl, called Karen, was a talented magic craftsman who became a gold-rank card maker in her second year at the Aloran Royal Academy team. Her eyes were bright and innocent, and she spoke in a soft voice.

Suddenly, a wave of exclamations rippled through the students around them, both boys and girls, their hearts melting.

"I'm sorry... Karen-chan."

"Karen the younger sister is really so gentle."

"Angels descended upon the Earth."

Listening to everyone's voices.

Karen was still smiling.

But she was cursing inwardly.

Silly, since I'm going to observe "Primal Stone Slab - Wind", you're still looking for someone to spar with

Due to the scarcity of master arcanists at Ayaloran Royal Academy, skilled arcanists are highly sought after.

While Karen is only a second-year student, her status is clearly higher than anyone else's.

She actually enjoys this feeling of being treated like a queen.

If she were at the Icteris Academy too, with her talent, everyone would flock to her like stars around the moon.

She is the embodiment of innocence; no one wouldn't like her!

Just as everyone in the squad was praising Karen,

The small groups at the rear of the team were still discussing amongst themselves.

"I've heard that the fighters at Ikritere Academy's Knight's Division are quite formidable. Perhaps we can challenge them to a duel with our fighting spirits on the line."

But it is said that last month, the most skilled fighter of the Knights' Academy, gold-ranked challenger Tselvini, suddenly transferred to the Chains Gold Academy's law department. She seems to have abandoned her fighting spirit and would rather take double the courses to make up for credits, torturing herself day and night to study hard and become a lawyer.

"No way There are actually fighters who can read books"

If she refuses to accept the challenge, we'll give her younger brother a good lesson. Then, she'll surely regain her fighting spirit!

Several brawlers from the Yarl'an Royal Academy were even more eager to fight than Adamus, the strongest third-year student at the head of the squad.

Anyway, everyone has their own thoughts.

The professor, leading the group, soon found the members of the admissions staff and student union from Icteriate Academy at the station hall level, and began to talk with them.

"……"

A young brother and sister in the team had been silent for a long time since they got off the car.

"Is something wrong Didn't you sleep well"

The paladin brother looked at his sister, the priestess, whose face didn't look good, and asked.

"Sorry, I've been having nightmares ever since that Shadow World event."

The girl closed her eyes and shook her head, saying.

Two months ago, right after being promoted to second grade, they challenged a demon world-themed four-tiered shadow world upon the start of school.

For all of them being fourth-order Silver challengers, this Shadow World might be perilous, but not insurmountable.

As a result, the impression that shadow world left was too deep, even giving the priestess sister psychological trauma.

Facing a doomed situation in the out-of-control Shadow Realm, they directly confronted ancient demon tribes that should not have appeared in the fourth-tier Shadow Realm.

When they thought all was lost.

That terrifying radiance demon forcibly took them away again.

They spent two whole hours together.

For those two hours, they were trapped in the headmaster's office with the luminous demon, every second an excruciating torment of fear and dread, a living nightmare.

Strangely enough, the luminous demon actually let them go!

They couldn't imagine how high the headmaster of Purgatory Gallery Academy's position was, to the point that it made them feel nothing from his magical fluctuations.

This level of utter inwardness only indicates the unimaginable gap between oneself and the other party.

Even when facing Lady Juliana, they had never felt such terror. That luminous demon was probably at least as evil as the cardinal of the Resurrection Church.

Just imagining spending two hours in a room with the Cardinal of the Resurrection Church would drive any normal young person crazy.

Due to considerations for protecting the privacy of challengers, information about matched opponents in a challenge cannot be retrieved from the South Continent Shadow World Management Association after a challenge has concluded.

"I hope this journey to Iketeru can ease my heart a little."

The priestess's younger sister spoke softly.

Her brave knight brother was alright, but she was too scared to go back to the Shadow Realm.

The priestess sister remembered that the Shadow World called 【Hellfire Corridor Academy】 had a total of six people.

It's strange, I feel like the whole time it was just the two of them, and they never encountered any other challengers.

Then it went berserk, and then inexplicably cleared.

They had never encountered such a bizarre Shadow Realm before!

They should have been grateful to be alive, but the terrifyingly brilliant Demon King Principal of the Demon Academy left an indelible impression on them.

But on the bright side.

In reality, they wouldn't have the chance to encounter such demons.

That radiant demon was merely an ancient great demon clan projected from the Shadow Realm, long vanished from history.

And the shadows in her heart would gradually wear away with time.
