And having been praised and flattered for so long, he had unwittingly grown conceited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was plain to see: a total, utter defeat. He had not even caught a single one of her movements before he fell. The gap between them was beyond description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lost……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ander muttered in complete dejection. His confidence lay shattered to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training ground fell deathly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gaped at the center of the field. They had expected a fierce battle, even more intense than the last one—but in a single instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>none of them had seen what had happened. Ander lay on the ground, Hulim Heyerar’s sword pointed at his vital point……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final match goes to Hulim! I declare this Combat Practical Exam officially concluded!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazingly, Kuno was the first to stand and break the silence, his expression utterly calm—as if he had expected this outcome all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Colette secretly admired his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly a man with the experience of a soldier……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself had been shocked moments ago. Though she knew far more about Hulim’s strength than anyone else, the sheer sharpness of her finish had still caught her off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other teachers snapped back to reality one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s what Teacher Kuno meant by ‘obvious’……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Kuno, you should’ve told us earlier! All our arguing just now made us look like fools……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, speak for yourselves! I knew Hulim would win from the start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, you were just guessing. Don’t act so proud……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the teachers bickered among themselves, the students erupted into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way—! Did I just imagine that!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t. I saw it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What—someone explain what just happened! I blinked once, and Ander was already defeated?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not even the point! It’s Hulim! What’s with her? She’s ridiculously strong—this was a complete one-sided crush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, I had no idea she was this powerful……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her classmates’ shouts and exclamations, Fran lifted her chin proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph~! All of you idiots! I told you already—Hulim is the strongest. Believe me now~?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you so smug? You can’t even beat Ander……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh—!? What did you say!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This story has been stolen from NovelBin. If you read it on Amazon, please report it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Blade——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waah, are you crazy——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos broke out among the students at the outburst, and order completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after Kuno stepped in forcefully to calm everyone that silence returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the Combat Practical Exam ended with Hulim claiming first place in a jaw-dropping fashion. Not only had she won the Individual Battle, but her team had also taken first in the Group Battle—making her the overall top scorer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, she had placed first in every single subject: magic courses, general academics, everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single-handedly, she had reached the pinnacle of every path at the Preparatory Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the conclusion of the practical exam marked the end of the four-year Preparatory Academy career for Hulim and her classmates……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Colette, did you need me for something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graduation was near. Fourth-year students barely had any classes left. Most of them came to school during the day only to talk with one another about their futures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette looked up at Hulim, whose face remained as expressionless as ever. She smiled faintly, stretched lazily, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, we’ve been together for two years now, believe it or not. I’ll…… honestly be a little sad to see you leave~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re lonely, just find a boyfriend or something…… Hulim thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say~, Hulim—do you have any plans for the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette suddenly asked a completely serious question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim looked at her, thought for a moment, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Train, grow stronger, and become the strongest in the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette was completely caught off guard. Her smile froze, and she had no idea how to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um…… not something that far away. More immediate plans—what will you do after graduation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Train—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop, stop! Be more specific. What I mean is…… well, where will you go to train?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim tilted her head, confused by what Teacher Colette was getting at, and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a suggestion, Teacher Colette?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, Colette’s eyes lit up—as if she had been waiting for exactly that line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ehehe~! So you haven’t made any concrete plans yet! But since you asked, as your teacher, I have to help you out~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim: “……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ta‑da~! Ta‑da~! Ta‑da~! Take a look at this!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette pulled out an ornate, elegant envelope, sealed with an unfamiliar material that still carried a faint trace of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Colette, what is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehmm~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette huffed proudly and crossed her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim—have you ever heard of the Manacos Magic Academy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim thought for a moment. “I think so. It’s one of the greatest magic academies in the world, located in the Royal Capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! That Manacos Magic Academy! And this is a letter of recommendation for that top-tier academy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim’s eyes widened slightly as she stared at the envelope in Colette’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A letter of recommendation? Teacher, why are you showing me this……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly what you’re thinking!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette nodded vigorously, then suddenly leaned close to Hulim, pressing the envelope right in front of her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Hulim—go study at Manacos——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>787 New Divine Calendar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim finished her four-year Preparatory Academy education. And as she graduated, she received from Colette a letter of admission to Manacos Magic Academy—the world’s premier institute of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the entire Empire, Manacos Magic Academy was a name that filled its people with pride. It was a gathering place for geniuses, the cradle of the world’s greatest mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it that the academy accepted students from all nations and races across the continent, with absurdly strict admission requirements: only those with B‑Rank Aptitude or higher—elite talents—stood any chance of entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of its wide reach and harsh standards, the academy operated on a recommendation‑only admission system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many organizations and individuals held recommendation quotas. Upon discovering a young person with B‑Rank or higher talent, they could send a letter to the academy to request a recommendation for enrollment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette herself was a graduate of that academy, and she held one such recommendation quota. As for why she had become a teacher in such a rural area, it seemed tied to her family situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colette’s father was a top-tier merchant of the Empire. For various reasons, he had tried to marry her off to a noble in exchange for even greater connections and influence. Colette had firmly opposed the arrangement, even entering a years-long cold war with her father over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally learned he planned to force her into a marriage with a noble she despised, she used certain means to run away—and ended up teaching at a countryside academy……\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.917Z",1,"novelbin.me","810e7a8412af28940fad55155bd472b1fd668ba82a12358537faad80524c76a2","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-67","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-65",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
