Even though half-elves were a significant part of Akasha's population, they had next to no rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From birth, they were oppressed, treated as second-class citizens, and bullied relentlessly—even here at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you guys doing?\" I asked, tilting my head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up,\" the presumed leader growled, his meadow-green eyes peering out from behind his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay inside and don't make this harder than it needs to be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them moved behind me, pushing the dome lightly from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Interesting.'

I groaned, suppressing my desire to sit down and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain is seriously killing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to find a way to fix my problem and quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But how?' I have no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still deep in thought, we quickly arrived at her class hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students inside stood as she entered, their gazes briefly shifting to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment I stepped in, all eyes locked onto me—some with open hostility, others with mild curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full-blooded elves occupied most of the room, with a few half-elves scattered at the edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed and made my way to an empty seat in the middle corner, closer to the halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a pain.' Groaning to myself, I looked at Lirien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I mentioned in the last class, we will be conducting a test today,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lirien announced, her smile bright but her tone sharp as she stood behind her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who fails the test will be immediately expelled from my class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked around and immediately noticed the confused looks on the students' faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lirien ignored them, pulling out a slip of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scribbled something quickly before making her way toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here,\" she said, handing me the paper without a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned, staring at it as she returned to the front of the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations!\" She said, smiling. \"Everyone passed except the heir of Segyal Highbloods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class burst into laughter, the room filled with mocking stares that bore at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now,\" she continued, gesturing toward the door, \"if you would kindly remove yourself from my class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still haven't given a test.\" I said, raising the paper. \"Isn't that unfair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those questions haven't been solved in five thousand years, Sir Himmel.\" She said, still giving me that fake smile. \"Don't even bother with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much time do I have?\" Ignoring her comment, I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile dropped as she looked at me coldly. \"Don't you understand my words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time, Miss Lirien.\" I said, relaxing myself on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, if you wish to struggle then be my guest.\" She sneered, glaring at me. \"I will give you today's time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned away sharply and began addressing the class as if I no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, as you all know, those leeches known as vampires can't use Ruah,\" she stated, pacing with an air of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept over the students. \"Orina, care to tell us why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's because they abandoned their elven lineage,\" a female elf replied, her voice clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct. Unlike us noble beings, they sold their bodies and souls, severing their connection to the World Tree,\" Lirien said, her voice dripping with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why those disgusting leeches feed on the life energy of others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her emerald eyes narrowing. \"Theoretically, a vampire can live for eternity by sucking others' life energy, but they don't. Anyone knows why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because life energy isn't pure—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, you filthy half!\" she snapped, glaring at the timid girl. \"Be glad I am even letting you in my class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl shrank back, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lirien took in a deep breath before she gestured at another elf girl who raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's because no being in this world possesses pure life energy,\" the girl answered confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Lirien said, clapping her hands. \"Not even the demigods are exempt from this truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class continued as I looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at the question, and frankly, I didn't understand shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The fuck is this?' I wondered, tilting my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh wait, it's upside down.' []\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shut up.' Staring at the question, I took out the glasses that I 'borrowed' from Mariam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yeah, yeah.' Grumbling, I wore the glasses before channeling a little mana into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spectra Glass. Something that was made by the first Head of Segyal Highbloods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was supposed to be in Ragnar's possession, but for some reason, it isn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hasn't been used before because one must fulfill a condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the child of mana can use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's good for me.' I thought as the glasses lit up, projecting a holographic screen before my eyes showing different research done by the first head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I scrolled through the archives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gods and their weaknesses, temporal anomalies, spatial rifts around Lumina, avatars, dungeons… Finally, I found the section I needed: Ruah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The document opened up, sweeping it to my left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused on the question given by Lirien.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is the relationship between Ruah and mana? Base your answer from an elf's perspective.' 'Why is Ruah easily usable to elves? Answer should not contain \"long life\" and \"nature-based beings.\"' 'How to combine Mana and Ruah?' \"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fuck type of questions are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Anyway.' Putting the question paper aside, I started reading his research on Ruah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like everyone says, Buinal was the greatest genius to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was perfect in everything, just like Ragnar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike Ragnar, who didn't pay much attention to the basics of the ability, Buinal was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the more I read his research, the more it becomes clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was written in fancy words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, I could clearly understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shifted my attention back to the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana and Ruah, huh? ****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked up, my gaze meeting that of a pale girl with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here alone?\" she asked, tilting her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, I realized I was sitting in an empty classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Class ended?\" I asked, turning back to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" she replied with a light smile, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. \"It's already lunch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The fuck happened?' I thought as the girl walked out of the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Really?' I thought, looking at the scrambled-up papers lying on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Lirien didn't say anything?' []\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh, serves her right.' I sneered, shaking my shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I stepped out into the bustling hallway, I scanned my surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did that girl go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… who was she, anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrugging off the thought, I began making my way to the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yep.' If anything, I got a clue about my life energy and how to fix it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the start, I'd wondered why Amun-Ra's blessing couldn't repair my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of its core abilities was converting other energies into mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why couldn't the opposite be possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly—wait, how do you know that? []\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shut up.' Anyway, if I want to fix my life energy, I need to find something that can reach my life source directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I entered the cafeteria, the lively chatter of second-year students filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I scanned the room, quickly spotting Elijah and Aimar at a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started toward them, but my steps slowed as I noticed a few others seated with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And... my eyes fell on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long, flowing black hair, contrasting her pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her striking red eyes, framed by delicate features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried herself with a captivating confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing my gaze, she turned toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My attention dropped to the small mole just below her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siersha.
