Is that a Wisp?

'Killing a Demon isn't enough to return to the God Realm. All I'm doing is just removing a strong pillar for suffering. I'm not actually solving the issue related to the sufferings of this world.' Krune fell into deep thought, sporting a mild frown. 'So, as the scholar had said, I should establish the sensation of devotion towards the Empire and create a legacy so that future generations could latch hope onto it.'

As he thought about it, his eyes lit up, opening his palm to reveal a palm-sized Cloud Whale peacefully floating atop it. 'The embodiment of peace…'

"Is this possible?" he muttered, thinking hard before sighing. "I need to gather more data for that."

He then noticed his vision blur a little, feeling even more exhausted as he sported a look of serious thought, soon falling asleep.

Seeing Krune in 'deep contemplation,' the scholar smiled, unwilling to disturb his thoughts as he continued his lecture. A couple of hours later, the lecture ended as he left the class.

The education in the Imperial Academy was pretty lax. There was a two-hour session early in the morning, followed by an hour break.

After that was two more hours of class. Then, there was lunch after that, leading to an end. At least, that's how it was before.

But from this year onward, it had been changed to include practical classes in the afternoon. It was in order to train them to wield their County Arms better.

"Hey man, I've never seen you before in this class," a boy approached Krune, sporting a smile as he asked.

"…" Of course, Krune didn't reply, deep in sleep. After trying to speak a couple more times, the boy snorted in response and walked away.

A couple of other students also tried to talk to Krune, only to be met with an unresponsive person that sat on his seat in silence, eyes closed, deep in thought.

It was unknown as to what happened to him during the one-hour break as Krune didn't seem to care. He only woke up upon sensing another scholar walk into the class. Similar to before, Krune behaved like he was paying attention.

As he was a lot more exhausted than he had thought, he lost track of things, only waking up when a boy shook him awake, saying, "Bro, are you actually sleeping on the first day of the term?"

"What time is it?" Krune yawned a little, looking around to see that the classroom was mostly empty.

"The scholar told you to head towards his office once you woke up," the boy replied, sporting a wry smile in response. "He had called for you during class a couple of times. But you didn't respond. You shouldn't have done that."

"Hah... might as well get it over with." Krune stretched his arms after that, understanding based on the chatter from his surroundings that it was already time for lunch. He took in a deep breath soon after, opening his mouth to exhale with power.

Sonic Radar!

Immediately, his surroundings were highlighted in his mind, allowing him to perceive everyone in his surroundings, frowning when he was unable to find either Wang Hao or Chen Xue.

Then again, he hadn't unleashed his Sonic Radar to the limit, only scouting a portion of the Imperial Academy. After asking for the route from the boy, just as he began to walk towards the staff room, his stomach rumbled. 'Right, I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday.'

He didn't even hesitate before marching towards the canteen, wolfing down enough food that the surrounding students shot him weird gazes.

Afternoon, all the students from the second year were informed to assemble at the training grounds. As Krune followed a couple of faces that he had seen once in the classroom he sat at in the morning, he noticed some older and younger faces streaming into the mix.

It seemed that all the students had been told to assemble. Soon after, the headmaster of the Imperial Academy, an old man in his sixties, walked forward, gazing at everyone as his booming voice resounded.

"Everyone, I hope you have been healthy." Smiling, he paused for a couple of seconds, scanning through the crowd before noticing Krune in their midst, continuing to speak after that, "The chaos in the Empire is increasing. Demons are running rampant while Nightmares are being birthed alarmingly so. In the past, only Imperial Meisters were able to deal with them. But now, things have changed."

"Every single one of you before me has a County Arms. So, all of you are able to fight them. However, fighting alone is a fool's endeavor. Therefore, I hope everyone forms a team of six. Make a team from the same term so that you'll be able to move as a group in the future after graduation," the headmaster spoke.

"You'll be registered as a team and would conduct missions in the future accordingly. As for the choices of who to team up with, I'll leave them in your hands." He then smiled as he continued, "Also, to ensure everyone gets an idea of the capabilities of County Arms users, let's host a friendly exchange tomorrow."

Upon seeing everyone break into a discussion immediately, the headmaster coughed once before saying, "If anyone has any doubts, ask Liu Heng. He'll also be your training instructor."

"What the hell?" Krune was surprised at the claim. 'I wasn't told about this.'

Seeing the headmaster gaze his way, everyone else followed his line of sight, finally gazing at Krune.

"So, he's Liu Heng."

"The one sleeping in our class was him?"

"He's that genius?"

As everyone conversed about him, the headmaster grinned, stating, "Now, let's have Liu Heng address everyone. After all, it's only thanks to him that County Arms have become a thing of reality."

"A legacy, huh…" Sighing as he recalled the scholar's words, Krune sighed, lightly stomping the ground as he took off into the air, making a gentle arc before landing on the stage. His actions shocked everyone because he was flying just like that.

'It seems I have to be high-profile from now onwards if I hope to create my legacy here.' Thinking as such, he looked at everyone, sporting a tired expression as he said, "Well…"

"All the best?"
