Normally, someone with less Star Essence and less skill in manipulation couldn’t enhance their body properly. If the essence amount was low, the enhancement would be weak. But using too much essence for enhancement would cause the body to break down rapidly.
 
Even if you can get a momentary enhancement, your body will be damaged if you operate it incorrectly. That is why star magic is so profound and difficult to use.
 
No normal person would want to get injured. They want to fight safely with their whole body strengthened by the beautiful and stable manipulation of star magic.
 
But … Read the rest

(Fei’s technique is good, as expected.)
 
The moment their blades separated, KakuKaku’s kick landed in Fei’s stomach. The difference in physical ability was clear in that one blow. Fei’s abilities lagged behind KakuKaku’s specs.
 
Fei flew several meters but quickly got back up, coughing slightly and wiping the blood from his mouth with a grin.
 

 
“Good, this is good.”
 
“Listen, you should realize your lack of talent. Life is about compromise. Take it from someone with more experience.”
 
“Ah, it’s just right… I’m finally getting the hang of it.”
 
“You’re not listening.”
 
Fei ignored KakuKaku’s words … Read the rest

Training, training, training! It’s time for a training camp!
 
Yeah, can’t miss this event. This is one of those, right? A protagonist power-up event?
 
I got beaten by a giant panda recently, so the world must be guiding me to power up, right? I get it, the world’s correction.
 
──Training camp event equals protagonist power-up.
 
But will it be sudden awakening, or developing a new technique on my own? There are various ways for a protagonist to power up. Which one will it be? Judging by past trends, probably the latter.
 
But I like the former too, so I’m fine … Read the rest

A man screamed and ran out. Seeing this, others followed, thinking it was okay to leave too. It was natural to seek an easier way once one person did.
 
Even those who withstood the pressure slowly became exhausted. They felt like they could hear insults that weren’t there. They wanted to scream to clear their minds and get out.
 
Quickly, quickly, quickly. As the remaining ones neared their limit, Glen was the first to leave, followed by Fubuki and Bowlan. True, too, began to walk heavily towards the exit.
 
However, he tried to stay a bit longer to strengthen himself. … Read the rest

“Hey, Fei, what are you doing about the expedition training starting tomorrow?”
 
Ese asked Fei. Fei frowned slightly, signaling him to continue.
 
“Didn’t you hear? It’s in the city of Rinary, for new Holy Knights.”
 
“Oh, maybe because it’s not recommended for non-elemental only… Fei didn’t know.”
 
“Really? Are non-elemental only really rejected!?”
 
Ese looked at Fei in surprise. Fei seemed deep in thought.
 
“I heard from someone that a Holy Knight with a non-elemental brother or lover died, and since then, the leading Holy Knight thinks being non-elemental only is foolish…”
 
“Why? Why only non-elemental?”
 
“Apparently… the Holy Knight’s … Read the rest

Lilia knelt there, her eyes trembling slightly, and closed them in prayer.
 
(We finally made it… Mom…)
 
She conveyed this in her heart. She also prayed for the other villagers, feeling overwhelmed to finally be there.
 
Memories flooded back, both the nightmares and the happiness of when nothing was lost.
 
She felt a pang of sadness at the thought that she’d never forget.
 
She hides her eyes, which are slightly filled with tears, from Fei. She knew he was nearby
 
but couldn’t bring herself to look at him, fearing that her tears would … Read the rest

Chapter 7: The Yellow Handkerchief and Arthur

Winter was in full swing, with the year’s end approaching. Snow fell lightly over the capital, giving it a serene and picturesque quality.
 
Adults rubbed their arms to fend off the cold, while children ran about energetically.
 
Amidst the bustling streets, a man walked alone. It was Fei. Exhausted from intense training, he was physically drained but unwavering in his principles. He followed only the path he believed in and would never stray from his convictions.
 
Fei stopped by a general store, entering with a sharp gaze as he scanned the shelves. He … Read the rest
