The huge explosions on the plain threw the crowd into disarray. They wanted to see the acolyte's condition, but thick smoke filled the area.

"Did Jai kill him!?"

"The Metal Puppeteer just killed the Savage Acolyte!"

Jai Strider slowly hovered down to the ground. As if to extinguish the crowd's hope of Emery coming out unscathed or at least alive, he said in a voice loud enough for them to hear,

"None of my pawns are made ordinary. Each of these pawns are equipped with powerful charge bombs that if used together can even kill a mythical beast."

With the mechanical glasses he had on, Jai then checked the situation under the smoke. "No trace of energy left… that's unfortunate."

The spectators began to whisper among themselves.

This was a formal duel, so even if death occurred, the academy would simply consider it an accident. Not to mention, with the savage acolyte being from the lower world, such an accident would most be soon forgotten.

At least, that was what was in their minds.

Jai silently observed the situation in front of him. He initially expected the Savage Acolyte to be better than this, but it seemed that he had overestimated his opponent a little.

"Too bad," Jai muttered to himself in a low voice as he walked toward the gradually dissipating smoke.

However…

As he continued to walk closer, the ground under him suddenly rumbled. The ground heavily trembled, and soon after, dozens of green earth figures were formed.

Startled, Jai warily leaped backward out of reflex. As the smoke continued to dissipate, a ball of dark light could be seen phasing in and out of space at the center of the blast. The orb then opened up, revealing the half-man half-wolf figure everyone had been searching for.

With their breaths taken away, the crowd fell completely silent. It was only after a few moments that one person finally shouted.

"He's still alive!"

The crowd immediately became clamorous once again. Jai's eyes also widened from surprise, but his lips formed a smile.

"What a powerful barrier!" he couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to escape, Emery immediately cast [Aegis of the Void], a powerful protection divine spell that utilized the void space as a barrier.

Fortunately, the barrier was successfully formed just a split second before the explosions hit him.

Soon enough, Emery's 64 newly-formed Jade Warriors surrounded Jai, the winged guardian, and his two knights. Yet despite how the tide seemed to have turned, the Metal Puppeteer loudly laughed.

"Hahahahaha! Amazing! Powerful defense, offense, and summons… Savage Acolyte, let's see this till the end!"

The battle quickly restarted.

However, the situation was no longer the same. Jai needed his guardian in order to keep up with Emery in a personal fight leaving his two knights unable to escape the hexagram formation.

The two metallic knights fell within minutes.

Now that the Metal Puppeteer no longer had any metal warriors left, the fight didn't last long. The moment Emery broke the guardian's wings apart, Jai was much more vulnerable and immediately declared defeat.

There was no need to continue a fight he couldn't win.

"You win, Savage Acolyte! Great fight!"

[Emery Ambrose - Rank 7]

When those words were uttered, frenzied cheers immediately filled the area. The spectators who had fallen silent once the fight continued didn't hesitate to cheer for the amazing show.

One person ran and jumped toward him.

"Congrats, Emery!"

The sight of the couple attracted some strange looks. In particular, two young men standing a little further with a grand magus behind them were staring at the two.

The young man with fancy silver hair was annoyed as he pointed at the scene.

"You see that!? He improved so fast!"

The old grand magus at the back appeared respectful toward the young man as he spoke.

"Young master, don't worry… you are stronger than him."

"Really?" The silver-haired young man looked toward the person in a mask and black cape next to him and continued, "Don't you dare let him surpass you, Anzi!"

The young man in a black cape didn't respond, only silently looking at the cheering couple with certain thoughts.

Meanwhile, Klea pulled Emery's arm, taking him away from the remaining spectators' gazes.

"Emery, I'm so tired of training these past few weeks…" She halted her steps for a moment to look at Emery. "Let's take a break and have some fun!"

"Sure… what do you want to do?" Emery asked with an indulgent smile. He knew just how hard she had to train, and it would be good to take a break every once in a while.

Besides, he was also rather tired from the battle just a minute ago. Both of them needed a break.

Following the Egyptian Queen's suggestion, the two, still followed by Magus Shena, left Planet Hyperion and headed toward Golden City, the largest city just a portal away from the academy.

Under the faintly-gleaming moon and stars, the couple walked the main street hand-in-hand. Despite the dark sky above Golden City, the market district was full of life.

Klea decide to approach the magus and said "Senior, you don't mind giving us some space aren't you?"

Magus Shena smiled before she leaves the couple to continue their leisure time.

Now left alone, the two of them went to check on the food vendors and tried unique delicacies left and right.

The relaxing atmosphere of just walking together and trying all sorts of new things brought them a different feeling of warmth.

It gave them a sense of comfort as if they had no worry in the world.

The two finally stopped and sat in front of a water fountain near the market district. It was adorned with a pale bluish light, contrasting with the warm lights around them.

As the soft light touched them, a sense of serenity filled the air.

"We only have nine weeks left… time feels so short," Klea whispered, a little melancholic.

Emery casually answered, "In this academy, yes, but we have a hundred years in front of us."

The girl smiled. "You're right... silly me."

Klea looked down for a moment.

"We'll become magus and have thousands of years in front of us, yet… why do I sometimes feel that the time between us is ticking fast?"

Emery fell into thought for a few seconds before saying "It could be because of the duel, waiting for us in 20 years."

The girl glanced at him before looking back down. "Yes… yes… maybe you're right."

Klea laid her head on Emery's shoulder, and Emery hugged her waist. For a while, there was only silence between them. Even though the street was filled with people, it felt as if only the two were in this world.

They had never felt so close.

Soon after, Klea thought of something.

"Emery, you promised me a gift!" She abruptly looked up. "We're in the market, so…"

Emery gently smiled and responded, "Of course! What do you want?"

To his surprise, Klea stood up, staring at him with a frown.

"That's not how it works… It has to be a surprise!" She put her finger on her chin to think and said "I'll give you three hours! Find me something nice, okay?"

This time, it was Emery who frowned. Finding gifts wasn't his specialty, and it never was.

"Remember, something nice, okay? I'll also find something for you as your congratulatory gift, so don't disappoint me!"

The Egyptian Queen then left with a bright expression, while Emery looked at her leaving figure with a heavy sigh. There was a certain thought hoping for her not to leave, but it was probably just the problematic task at hand. If only she could just choose what she want, Emery willing to spend all his spirit stones on her.

Either way, he only had three hours…

"Should I buy her some nice food? No, that's something Morgana would like…"

"Maybe I should buy her something useful…"

"A sword? No, that's something Silva would like."

"What would Klea like…?.. Ahh, I am really bad at this!!"

Emery thought hard about it. He walked around the large market district to see what he could buy for her, but none of them struck him as something Klea would love.

Time ticked fast and emery felt the pressure was much harder than the apothecary exam.

It took him almost all the three hours he was given to find a proper gift. Thinking that she might like something beautiful, he finally decide to stop at a jewelry store and bought a bracelet adorned with rainbow-colored gems.

"I hope she likes it…" Emery muttered a little nervously as he walked back to the water fountain. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about what Klea was getting him.

"Hm?"

Emery looked at the place where they previously sat but Klea wasn't there.

"She's late…"

Emery patiently waited.

5 minutes, 15 minutes…

When half an hour finally passed, Emery quickly became anxious. If Klea knew that she would be this late, she would have sent him a message.

His heart suddenly raced fast and started to look around for an answer.

At that moment, Emery noticed a figure in a black cape staring at him from the distance.
