Darius Stormrend flicked the sword forward casually while it was still sheathed.
The very air screamed as the sword shot from his hand like a bolt of lightning. In the far distance, a mountain peak shattered in half after getting cleaved cleanly as if split by divine judgment.
Gasps rippled through the audience. Even instructors and third-year students visibly reacted.
Among them, Elyra Vorn stood silent but her stoic face betrayed a rare flicker of emotion.
Her icy blue eyes fluttered with something deeper than admiration and reverence… perhaps even a vow.
'Father... I'll make sure I retrieve it. I owe it to you and mother...'
Her gaze sharpened with conviction as the video faded out.
In the spectating area, Danny leaned forward and muttered, "I wonder how a dude that powerful even ended up dying."
Aria folded her arms and replied, "His death was never confirmed. But when an awakened vanishes during active duty... it usually means they're not coming back."
