I’m home,\" he announced softly as he pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh. I came back before you, eh? Haha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami exclaimed in a deep chuckle, causing Grey to lift his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was seated against the wall, two bottles sitting beside him, their contents unclear but suspiciously familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was not sure if it was alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply shrugged, shut the door behind him, then walked forward and sat across from Yami, resting his back against the opposite wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was it?\" Grey asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami’s expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone turned grave as he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bad. As expected, they didn’t take the news well. They lashed out at me for being reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey tilted his head, his eyes locking onto a reddened area across Yami’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They hit you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami let out a dry chuckle and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... It’s a given. After all, they lost their kids because of my recklessness. They trusted me to take care of them. Trusted me to train them so they could defend themselves, yet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers curled tightly into fists, his eyes burning with restrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Yet, I failed them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey shook his head slowly and released a deep sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t. My carelessness and rage caused this. If I hadn’t destroyed the runes the assassin who killed my mother was making, I wouldn’t have been teleported to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t have taken me in. The otherworlders wouldn’t have attacked, and your daughters and students wouldn’t have lost their lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s head hung low as his teeth ground against each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A casual chuckle from Yami caused him to lift his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want another beating?\" Yami said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many times do I have to tell you not to apologise again? It upsets me. Because I know how helpless you were. Clarice explained everything to me, so I don’t blame you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey exhaled slowly, his shoulders dropping as some tension eased, though his hands remained clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if you are not upset at me, I am still upset at myself. I can’t forgive myself for letting Millie and Vanessa die like that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step. Step. Another step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s all in the past now,\" Clarice said as she walked forward, holding a tray with three plates of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She set it down gently, returned to fetch three cups of water, then finally sat down on the bare ground beside the two men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So let’s forget about it, even though it’s hard,\" she continued, forcing a warm smile. \"Let’s look ahead and plan for our future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami released a tired breath, reached out, grabbed one of the two bottles, and passed it toward Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re eighteen years old and practically an adult now, so here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey wanted to refuse. He had never tasted alcohol before and did not drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something gnawed at him as he stared at the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen people drown their pain in alcohol before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It always seemed to dull emotional wounds, if only for a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Grey planned to submit his life or grief to a drink. He would never let a bottle control him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just for today, he needed to loosen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he snatched the bottle from Yami and forced a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he twisted the cap loose, a foul stench assaulted his nose, making it twitch slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... This better be worth it,\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to take a deep breath, lifted the bottle, and without hesitation placed it to his lips, letting the foul-tasting liquid drip into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tongue tingled as his body shuddered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange liquid burned faintly as it slid down his throat, and he found himself swallowing reflexively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling the bottle away, he released a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know how to feel about what he had just consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not even describe the taste properly, nor how it affected his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he knew was that he felt oddly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping his lips of any visible stain, he stared at the now half-empty bottle with a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit it. The drink numbed his emotional pain a little, and for a fleeting moment, he felt... free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’... Hpmh. Now I understand why drunkards get addicted to this thing. But alas, it’s just a weak coping mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only weaklings run toward alcohol to drown their sorrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Real brave men face their problems head-on and defeat them. That’s the only way to find peace, not with this... this alcohol thingy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey shrugged, unsure of how to answer the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clarice glanced between the two men, then shook her head lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The food is getting cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yami nodded at her before turning back to Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I gave him that bottle so we could talk properly. I need to know who he really is and what he is. Then we can eat and introduce ourselves fully over the meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Grey lifted an eyebrow before a small smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drink had finally begun to hit him. A slight grogginess crept in, yet his senses remained intact as his gaze lingered on the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tired sigh, he dropped it onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ki and mana surged through his internal organs as he forcibly circulated them, the sensation making his insides feel as if they were on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed back against the lingering haze, refusing to let it cloud his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted this conversation to happen with clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for now, it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning toward the couple, he exhaled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess today is the day of revelation, huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey smiled faintly as he shuffled on the ground, then glanced up at the ceiling for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another tired breath, he began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Grey Dawn, and I come from a world of mages known as Arondale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, slowly lowering his gaze back to the couple, who were now listening intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... We mages are people who use an ability called magic, almost similar to your ki...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-05T15:21:41.119Z",1,"novelbin.me","6eb11cf03858cb9a8aefaad43e6ade137af4a255113b180dece5bff80face993","magus-supremacy-chapter-734","magus-supremacy-chapter-732",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
