felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just a void, it was a barrier, one that no living thing should ever touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the Grand Mages are already inside,\" Arceus said, \"Be prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded and turned toward the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance lay ahead, past a garden with neatly trimmed hedges and a paved stone path

forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several glowing panels materialized before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Welcome to the Grand Mage Order

surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a new message appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[All apprentices must prove their worth before entry.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Failure to impress the Grand

prove your power, they assume you're a liability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex didn't feel worried exactly, he had already defeated Arceus, an official Grand Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If they try to kill me… would I have to kill them all?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know exactly how many Grand Mages were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it came down to a fight, even with Arceus helping, could he win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It depended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his [Destiny Points].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Destiny Points:

appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not attempt to fight.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You will not win.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not argue.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not cause

message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, that one's new.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the entrance, climbing the wide stone staircase leading to the mansion's open doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many Grand Mages are there?\" Alex asked quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-three,\" Arceus answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped through the entrance, a figure emerged from the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're late, Arceus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the Grand Mage Judges, a man with silver hair and sharp, calculating eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another voice came from the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I see you brought someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A different Judge, this one with short black hair and a smug grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex met his gaze without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know we have to test his power,\" the second Judge said, cracking his knuckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arceus sighed, brushing past them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead, he can handle himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Alex, \"You good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex grinned, \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Arceus walked toward the massive doors at the end of the grand lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Join us when you're done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, Alex was left alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Judges turned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" the silver-haired one said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see what you're capable
