When the academy received Colette’s letter, its staff were rather surprised by her description: after all, a talent starting at A-Rank was a genius among geniuses even at Manacos Magic Academy, the kind of student that demanded special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the academy could not take Colette’s word alone. For B-Rank talents, the academy would not worry much—they would verify the student’s ability upon enrollment, and revoke their spot if the reality fell far short of the recommendation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But A-Rank talents were a different matter; the academy could not afford to miss such a prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the academy immediately sent a professor to deliver the official letter of admission and conduct a review. If the claims proved true, the professor would hand over the letter; if not, he would take it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person Colette had referenced when she stopped Kuno to arrange the duel between him and Hulim was none other than that professor from Manacos Magic Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving in Mentor Town, the professor had kept a low profile. After learning more from Colette and Kuno, he observed Hulim from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Hulim had crushed Ander with an overwhelming, unmatchable display, the seasoned professor judged at once that Colette had spoken the truth: Hulim’s talent was indeed at least A-Rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He promptly gave the letter to Colette, stressing that she must ensure the girl enrolled. As for why he had not revealed himself directly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the academy feared such a direct approach would foster arrogance in the student, hindering her growth. They would never use such a method. Even if there was a chance the student might not attend, they would only guide her subtly, not extend a formal invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enrollment next year……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Heyerar residence, Hulim sat on the sofa, flipping through the letter of admission Colette had given her again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire envelope was enchanted with anti-counterfeit magic circles; forgery was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she needed to do was report for enrollment in the specified year at Langard, the Royal Capital, and she would become a student of Manacos Magic Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her enrollment date was set for next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delay was tied to Manacos’s recruitment system: since it accepted students from all across the continent, many could not reach Langard quickly due to distance or other issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a recommendation letter was issued for the same year, the recipient might miss the enrollment window entirely before even receiving it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that reason, Manacos typically sent out recommendation letters one to two years in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made no difference to Hulim. If anything, the extra year let her learn more about Manacos in detail—and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was time to start preparing for life on the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly. With help from Colette, a native of the capital, Hulim gained a thorough understanding of Langard, the magic academy, and its culture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, with Kuno’s guidance, she mastered all kinds of common sense for traveling and living alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know why Teacher Kuno had offered his help so willingly, but she resolved to accept his kindness graciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, shortly before her departure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her father Rezelian called Hulim to his study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, did you need me for something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim bowed slightly and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian sat at his desk, gazing at his overly sensible daughter, his heart filled with mixed feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, among my seven children, you are the youngest—but you are the one I worry about least. Sometimes I think you’ve matured far too young; you barely even fussed for affection after the age of seven……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim: “……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, my apologies. I suppose I’m growing old and rambling lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian sighed and turned to the matter at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I called you here today to give you a gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A gift? For me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. This.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian nodded, pulling a sword from beneath his desk. It was of moderate length, with a plain, unadorned scabbard that gave no hint of its true worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Rezelian drew the blade, its surface shimmered with starlike silver light, catching Hulim’s gaze at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your brothers and sisters have all left home. Except for Armen, the others all have proper protection. But you are different: the journey to Langard is long, and you will travel alone. The dangers are obvious. You already have a wand, but you lack a proper sword. So I give you this blade, forged from Mythril.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim took the Mythril sword, running her hand over it fondly. The edge was razor-sharp; the mere brush of her fingertip against it brought a faint sting—one light press, and her skin would surely break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She channeled a wisp of mana into it, and the energy flowed unimpeded, thanks to the high Mythril content. In battle, the blade could function as a magical sword at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with limited knowledge of weaponcraft, Hulim could tell this sword was the work of a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you like it?” Rezelian asked with a smile, watching his daughter’s delighted reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I love it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim nodded, then lifted her head as if remembering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, this sword must be very expensive. What about our family’s finances……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian’s smile froze instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed twice, his smile turning awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s…… not that expensive. Don’t worry—our family can afford it easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still…… to be safe, try not to draw the blade in public. You wouldn’t want to draw the attention of those with ill intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the scabbard was so plain……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim did not call out his lie about the price. A Heyerar would never spurn another’s kindness out of petty honesty. Likewise, Rezelian would never worry his daughter by overstating the cost. The sword had surely drained a great deal of the family’s wealth, but it was far from a crippling burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim slid the sword back into its scabbard and held it, planning to find a strap later to fasten it at her waist or over her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian felt deep pride in his daughter’s thoughtful demeanor. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is one more thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone grew solemn as he said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, you know my greatest wish is to restore the Heyerar family to its former glory, to revive our ancestors’ legacy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have earned a recommendation to Manacos Magic Academy, the finest academy in the world. That means your talent is the greatest the Heyerar family has seen in generations—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian paused, then spoke with utter sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to forget about the Heyerar family’s affairs from this day forward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim’s eyes widened, staring at her father in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My wish is mine, not yours. You have your own life to live. If your talent were the same as an ordinary Heyerar, I would not stop you from fighting for the family. But your gift is extraordinary—and that means your future is boundless. I do not want you chained down by a single family. I only want you to spread your wings freely, to live a brilliant life of your own. That…… matters more than anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rezelian shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim, you need not tell me what you think. Let me be selfish for once……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim stared silently at her father for a long while, then replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……I understand, Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ps：This chapter is updated for Aeon_A\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.917Z",1,"novelbin.me","560fb84068b24b801d468661c66d01224d8e1cf76607db67b7e7feb6b8826086","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-68","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-66",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
