'Will the class be intense? And what exactly will 'breakthrough' feel like for someone like me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noir, his inner companion who had always been silent for long finally chimed in coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget, breakthrough can only be achieved by those strong enough—those with firm willpower and potent magic. Don't get ahead of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let the class decide that,' Grey replied silently. 'If I can't master it, I'll take it as the will of the world… and I'll continue refining my foundation and prowess. So hush now—and stop buzzing in my head.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he settled back into silence, the group finally came to a stop in front of a tall, rune-etched door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Grey stepped forward and pushed it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden gust of wind escaped the room like a held breath, brushing against their skin with an icy chill that made several of them shiver involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it feel like no one's opened this door in ages?\" Vorden muttered, pulling his coat tighter around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that's not it…\" Scarlet murmured, her eyes narrowing as she focused. \"It's not the room—it's an aura.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just the aura of the room,\" Grey added, his tone grim. \"It's coming from someone… someone powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group entered cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall was vast—far larger than the one used during their first-year Creation Magic classes. It was a cathedral of magic in its own right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient runes lined the obsidian-colored walls, pulsing faintly with ambient light and an eerie hum. The atmosphere was dense, saturated with magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high ceiling shimmered with enchantments, designed to reflect the flow of magical energy within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times, glowing streams danced overhead like auroras—evidence of previous breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was layered with Arcanite, a rare mineral that absorbed excess mana and prevented magical backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sparkled subtly beneath their feet, grounding their power like the roots of a mighty tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center stood a circular stone platform, engraved with intricate sigils—guidelines for channeling and stabilizing energy during breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air tingled with static charge, causing the students' mana to stir as if awakened by the room itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a voice echoed calmly across the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome, all of you. And congratulations… on passing my little test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students halted and turned toward the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at its center was a tall, broad-shouldered man who radiated strength. He didn't have to speak loudly—his presence alone demanded attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long, dark gray hair tied into a low ponytail that swayed slightly with his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp golden eyes scanned them with surgical precision, piercing through facades as though reading their very souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face bore numerous scars, each one a story from a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a majestic robe—deep blue trimmed with silver, embroidered with golden runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shimmered slightly, reacting to the mana-rich environment. This was no ordinary robe; it was the garb of someone who walked the line between scholar and warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike their previous instructors, this man didn't seem interested in banter or pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exuded discipline, resolve, and a barely restrained power. He was someone who believed in results, not excuses. The kind of man who molded diamonds under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quiet realization swept over the students: Instructor Von was gone. This man—this titan—was their new reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one word pulled them back to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait… test?\" Arthur asked, brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man merely smiled in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So that's what that aura was?' Grey thought, eyes narrowing. 'That chill when I opened the door… was his test? But a test of what, exactly?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing the intensity of Grey's gaze, the man turned and locked eyes with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their stares met—unyielding, unflinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange familiarity stirred in Grey's chest. 'Where… where have I seen him before? His aura… his face…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, the instructor's eyes flickered with intrigue. 'That kid… I've seen him somewhere. And for him to stare me down like that without blinking? Impressive. But where the hell have I seen him before?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silent duel continued until Gordon's voice broke the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said something about a test?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\" The man turned to address them all. \"When the door was opened, I released a fragment of my aura and magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a test—to gauge your bravery and determination. Many would turn back when faced with overwhelming pressure. But all of you walked in. That alone speaks volumes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ohhh… so that's what that was,\" Scarlet muttered, half-impressed, half-irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stepped down from the platform, his footsteps deliberate and strong, each one echoing faintly in the enchanted hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Instructor Magnus,\" he announced. \"An Ice Mage—and one of the most powerful this academy has to offer. I am not just an instructor, but an active elite-ranked squad member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murmurs rippled through the students at the word elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Elite rank?' Greg mused, awed. That's just below Captain Amir's master rank. To reach that level means he's already among the academy's top combatants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's thoughts raced as well. 'Elite… that's the same rank the vice captains hold. If I were captain, I'd only choose the best elite available. This guy's the real deal…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus continued. \"By now, I expect you all to understand the ranking system, so I won't bore you with that. Instead, let's get straight to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes glinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time to begin your lecture… on Breakthrough Mode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students straightened, excitement buzzing through the air like electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's lips curled into a confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Finally… time to add a new weapon to my growing arsenal.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{A\u002FN}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our mass release goals for this week is active guys!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>150 Power stones= 2 extra chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>50 Golden tickets= 2 extra chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic Castle= 5 Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spacecraft= 10 Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Gachapon= 15 Chapters...
