If I lose control and go berserk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you really think we won’t be able to handle it if you do? That’s not something you need to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t understand! The power I hold is far more dangerous than you think!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course I knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understood the dragon’s power better than Helena herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Helena truly went berserk, even Park Siwoo and Dan Chun-woo’s strength wouldn’t be enough to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how special and powerful the dragon’s power Helena possessed was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was stronger than a berserk Helena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had played through the game with you countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know your power is dangerous. But if we don’t go, other people will be in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really are…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena glared at me briefly before letting out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you put it that way, I can’t exactly say no, can I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, Helena had never once backed down in a situation like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good decision. Honestly, if you’d refused, I was planning to knock you out and drag you along anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really didn’t have to say that. Come on, before the damage gets worse—let’s go help the instructors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining Helena’s agreement, we immediately started running toward the source of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery changed in an instant as we approached the dome where the fight was raging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer we got, the more the ground trembled, and explosions shook the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kraaaaaaah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive roar from the Drake slammed into our ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even its simple bellow carried such overwhelming force that people clutched their ears and collapsed from the deafening noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp ringing pierced my hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, countless layers of magic appeared in midair, raining down on the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spotted Instructor Mabel floating in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! Just how high is its magic resistance? And this is supposed to be a Drake that hasn’t even reached full maturity?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you use stronger magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we cast anything powerful enough to actually hurt it, the entire area will be annihilated! We can’t use that here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is troublesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, both Instructor Mabel and Instructor Kang Jae-seok couldn’t use their full power because they were worried about collateral damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, I steadied my breathing and gripped the Guardian’s Sword in reverse, driving it into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A holy light erupted from the blade, turning the entire area white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Mabel noticed the anomaly first and turned her gaze toward us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened as she spotted me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those kids—why are they here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Focus on the battle, Instructor Mabel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, but those students—wait, this barrier? It’s far stronger than the one I cast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Kang Jae-seok, who had been restraining the Drake, also seemed to notice the change in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instructor Mabel? What kind of magic is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then who on earth could have cast something on this scale?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he looked around, his eyes met mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted into a demonic scowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder his nickname “Yaksha” came from his face alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you to run away! What the hell are you doing here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here to help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Siwoo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his calm response, Instructor Kang Jae-seok’s face contorted even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you not realize you’re already getting in the way just by being here?! Get out of here immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a way to weaken the Drake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a real combat situation! Cadets like you shouldn’t even be here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his furious reprimand, Park Siwoo flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the time to argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drake, confused by the sudden change in its surroundings, was now glaring straight at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snorting like an enraged bull, it scraped its front claws against the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mabel shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instructor Kang Jae-seok, dealing with the Drake comes first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instructor Mabel, while I draw its attention, teleport the students out of here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said that, a fierce energy erupted from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming aura that rivaled the Drake itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled the demonic energy of a Demon, but it was distinctly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While demonic energy was sticky and dark, the aura radiating from Instructor Kang Jae-seok was pure and savagely raw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red energy materialized around his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drake and Kang Jae-seok glared at each other before charging head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an earth-shattering explosion, the two monstrous beings clashed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wild beast, Instructor Kang Jae-seok began carving wounds into the Drake’s enormous body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drake screamed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kieeeeeeeek!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Mabel, watching the scene, turned to us and swung her massive staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teleportation magic circle formed beneath our feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seriously, you kids are in so much trouble later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly grabbed her wrist to stop the spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! If we disappear, this barrier will vanish too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At my words, Mabel froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already realized earlier that this space was far superior to her own barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have understood its importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a subspace strong enough to withstand your full-power attacks. And we can weaken the Drake here—really!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, in this space, I could unleash my full magic… But then who’s going to ensure your safety?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s fire-type magic, I can at least control the impact of the explosions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Mabel looked at me with suspicious eyes at my confident statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just like you said, Instructor. This is a real combat situation, right? We can’t afford to be picky right now, can we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, if you can’t hold your tongue…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, unlike the stubborn Instructor Kang Jae-seok, Instructor Mabel was reasonable enough to talk to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was precisely why I wanted her involved in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak quickly. If I find your reasoning unconvincing, I’ll teleport you out immediately—barrier or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Helena can wield the power of a dragon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a top-ranked Hero and an Academy Instructor, Mabel immediately understood my intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Drake was a subspecies of a dragon—extremely vulnerable to the power of a higher species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After muttering to herself for a moment, Mabel nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. That does raise our chances of victory. But can Helena handle that power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I’m asking—could you cast buff magic on us? If Helena goes berserk, we’ll restrain her, so please, you two focus on the battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, I could stop Helena’s rampage without any buffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buffs weren’t for Helena—or the Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My goal wasn’t just the Drake, but also the true culprit behind this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if that Demon’s combat ability was poor, it was still a high-ranking Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To defeat it, I needed to fight alongside Dan Chun-woo and Park Siwoo while the three others focused on the Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what these buffs were for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current physical ability wasn’t enough to face a high-ranking Demon yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the one behind all this specialized in curses and mental manipulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We needed Instructor Mabel’s buffs to block that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm energy radiated from her hands as golden magic circles bloomed around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-level protection, physical reinforcement, increased regeneration, enhanced mana output—and most importantly, mental defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every kind of buff magic wrapped around our bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the best enhancement spells I can give you. Remember, they’re not for helping you fight—they’re to protect you from getting caught up in the battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whew… incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My whole body surged with power—an overwhelming sense of omnipotence, like when I used a Demon’s authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if I’d become twice as strong as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay as far from the battle as possible. And Helena, when I give the signal, release your power at full strength. The rest of you, keep close and make sure she doesn’t lose control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke like a mother leaving her children home alone before heading to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about us, Instructor. Please help Instructor Kang Jae-seok—he looks like he’s struggling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for someone like him, a top-tier Hero among elites, fighting a Drake one-on-one was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he’d lasted this long was impressive enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His upper body was already drenched in blood—whether it was his or the Drake’s, I couldn’t tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Graaaaaaaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bestial roar erupted from Instructor Kang Jae-seok.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yikes, I’d better hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mabel vanished instantly, as if teleporting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, she joined the fight—casting numerous buffs on Kang Jae-seok while summoning countless magical chains to bind the Drake’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to give him a brief moment to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take care of the offense for now. Catch your breath and hold it down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…You didn’t send the students away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the middle of combat, Instructor Kang Jae-seok’s voice carried concern for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously, what a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s exactly why I was trying to save you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s trust them, shall we? They seem to have brought quite the gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the chains binding the Drake crackled with powerful currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bzzzzzt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electricity surged violently through the chains, and the Drake screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mabel’s assault didn’t end there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive magic circle formed high above the Drake’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From it radiated a dangerous, overwhelming energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the threat, the Drake thrashed violently, trying to break free from the chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the recovering Instructor Kang Jae-seok, a blood-red energy burst forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson blood covering his body resonated with his mana, coating his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body glowed red, and his hair turned stark white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s why they called him “Yaksha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With bloodlust swirling around him, he wrapped his blade in that crimson aura and struck the struggling Drake mercilessly, pinning it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like watching a berserker driven mad by blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the energy gathered in Mabel’s magic circle reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floating high above, she swung her massive staff toward the circle and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, get back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous magic circle blazed with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of crimson energy fell from its center—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble rumble rumble rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gigantic pillar of fire descended from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its overwhelming size engulfed the area completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like divine judgment crashing down from the sky, its sheer force froze everyone in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the true power of High-Rank Hero Mabel Elva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roaring wave of heat and wind swept across the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though we were far from the center, the explosion was strong enough to reach us if we weren’t careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped forward, shielding my team from the fiery blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You guys need to conserve your strength for what’s coming next!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh! Is that… Instructor Mabel’s full power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Siwoo’s awed groan came from behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pillar of fire faded, we could see the Drake’s massive body collapsed on the scorched ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Siwoo muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did we… get it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You idiot, what the hell are you saying?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1884,"2026-06-05T19:04:26.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","978219fd186b4d123be8a1dad222348860cbfad792a531a8005921cc9a999010","i-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-chapter-106","i-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-chapter-105",137,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-cover.jpg"]
