Instead, he trained harder than ever, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his comrades moved forward, having passed their trials in various ways, Grey stayed behind, exiled from the tournament by Eric's petty vendetta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanica had been granted entry into the tournament, her key role during the students-versus-instructors duel earning her that privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Grey's contributions had been overlooked, buried beneath Eric's personal grudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly what Grey had hoped for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Eric submitted the final list of qualified participants, Captain Amir was visibly stunned to see Grey's name missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he recalled a past conversation—Grey had told him plainly that he had no interest in joining the tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realization hit Amir like a wave, and he shook his head with a wry smile. Grey had outplayed them all, quietly stepping aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the assessments concluded, the students returned to their usual regimen under Magnus. But this time, something had shifted—Magnus had become a different beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His training style turned ferocious, relentless. Every session was a gauntlet, and he didn't just supervise—he pushed, prodded, and tore down limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to him, the third-year students had already mastered Magus Dominion, and that meant they would undoubtedly wield it during the upcoming tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his squad had any chance at standing toe-to-toe with the veterans, they needed to learn how to break through—and fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Grey, though, the breakthrough process was old territory. He had already mastered it. His focus now was on optimization—studying the finer details of the process to improve his efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it once took him a minute to break through, he now aimed to halve that time. Every second shaved was a weapon honed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Raze had adopted his own unique training method—one that seemed chaotic on the surface but was actually highly strategic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than focus on breakthroughs, he fixated on deepening his mastery over the elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would begin by tapping Vince, copying his Metal Magic, and sparring fiercely against Greg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-combat, he'd smoothly touch Greg, swapping to Lightning Magic, and suddenly, the entire tempo of the fight would shift into an electrifying explosion of raw force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Raze's training: a whirlwind of element absorption and instinctual adaptation. He wasn't just learning the magic—he was becoming it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tournament loomed closer, now only a week away. The pressure in the air was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Progress varied. Scarlet and Greg had achieved incomplete breakthroughs, unstable yet promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jay managed a full breakthrough, but it fizzled after less than thirty seconds. The rest remained at the cusp, straining for something just out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And still, the training continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must learn to feel your affinities!\" Magnus barked, pacing like a caged beast. \"Talk to them. Sync your willpower with your core. Don't just channel the magic—become it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was thunder in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For those of you who experienced an incomplete breakthrough—dig deeper. Flash back. Feel the moment. Relive the spark. Now, look at Grey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All heads turned to where Grey was leaning against a wall, arms folded, eyes closed like a meditating warrior. The moment his name was called, his brown eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? What did I do this time?\" he muttered, blinking at Magnus in mild confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the example. Inspiration.\" Magnus gestured to him with intensity. \"Tell them—what were you feeling during your breakthrough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's eyes gleamed. \"Anger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus nodded sharply and turned back to the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is! Emotion fuels magic! Some of you—fear might be your catalyst. Others—joy, sorrow, desperation. Tap into it. Remember that feeling. That's your key!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't lose face to that smug third-year instructor,\" Magnus growled. \"Now get to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn,' Grey chuckled to himself. 'He's gotten way more intense over the days. Didn't know he had such a competitive streak. Definitely not like Instructor Von. He's got bite—but with a sense of fun, too.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar broke Magnus' next lecture. \"No! Damn it! Not like that. Feel the mana! Feel it swirling around you and within you. This is why I told you to master meditation first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spun and stormed toward Arthur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! What in the blazing pits are you doing?! Quit chatting and break through! Now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yup. Aggressive,' Grey chuckled again, just as he was about to close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the training hall burst open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind carried in a commanding presence that pulled every eye toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Amir strode in like a lion surveying his pride, a broad grin stretching across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at this. My favorite squad in all the kingdom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Favorite? I thought Kael was your favorite?\" Grey asked as he peeled himself off the wall and sauntered over, hands buried casually in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh Grey,\" Amir said, grinning. \"My real favorite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnus gave a respectful salute, palm across his chest, eyes straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain,\" he greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, Cap! What brings you?\" Raze said, walking over with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No trouble. I've actually got a mission for you all,\" Amir replied, and instantly, every student's posture sharpened. Their ears perked up like wolves scenting prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally!\" Grey cracked his neck and stretched. \"I was starting to get bored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the mission, Cap?\" Scarlet asked, a smoldering glint in her eyes like fire ready to ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A portal break? Bandits, maybe?\" Arthur suggested, heart pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or even better—a dungeon raid,\" Greg added, lightning sparking excitedly around his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amir chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... you might not like this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it? Another invasion from some upstart kingdom?\" Grey smirked, stepping forward. \"Drakesville again? I've got unfinished business with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Amir said, his smile turning sheepish. \"It's an escort mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey's face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it,\" he muttered, turning around. \"I'm no bodyguard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't let me finish,\" Amir said, tone lowering. \"It's an escort mission to... Kiten Town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey stopped cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time froze with him. His heartbeat pounded in his ears like war drums. His breath caught as a storm of emotions rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Kiten Town? My hometown? Will I... finally see Mum? Jesse?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart surged with hope, trembling with an overwhelming mix of anticipation and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>___\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{A\u002FN}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, A happy birthday to my dad and he's the reason this mass release is possible today. Please guys, send your wishes and prayers to him on this his joyous day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would love to show him how my readers are praying for him 😊 thank you in advance guys!✌️\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-05T15:21:23.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","d22f4d7420f68f244cabd63b0433facf229b5bb8a31c0476366784c71e9cff51","magus-supremacy-chapter-276","magus-supremacy-chapter-274",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
