“Don’t rejoice after winning a battle, for the war isn’t over yet.” Ralph, the pink-haired teen with eyes of simr colour but of a slightly darker shade, wearing the academy uniform, said, looking at the copsed draconian teen.


    Ralph was watching the whole chaotic situation from afar. Striking when Dennis was busy with Gunther was the best moment, but before he could proceed, another yer joined the fray, foiling his ns once again.


    Though that was the case, Ralph wasn’t worried about it as what the draconian teen did only made the work easier for Ralph, as instead of having to sneak and steal the gs, he only had to hunt down the draconian teen. It was more efficient, thus, he let the teen run free with the gs for a moment.


    Ralph, having an affinity with the Space element, could cast Short Jump like Lith too, therefore, teleporting and catching the draconian teen wasn’t a difficult task for him. As he arrived near the draconian teen, Ralph cast a rank 2 dark spell – Sensory Copse.


    The spell, like its name read, copsed all senses of a person, putting them into aatose state temporarily. Since it was only a rank 2 spell, the effect barelysted for a minute, so after finishing his job, Ralph left the area.


    …


    ‘It was so chaotic. The draconian teen struck at the correct time and I think Ralph probably wanted to do the same but was a bitte and improvisedter. Heh. Ralph, just how many things went wrong for you today?’


    Lith thought to himself while hovering in mid air with his wings extended out. He had alreadye out of hiding when he saw Ralph make a move and followed him.


    He kept thinking about how he would make fun of Ralph for his numerous ns being thwarted today. His gaze strayed on the individuals standing near the tall tree while he did so.


    “Did you find the gs?” A demon teen asked.


    “Grr, don’t disturb me. If I had, I wouldn’t be searching right now.” The werewolf teen replied, growling.


    “Oh hey,e look at this everyone!” A teen shouted while standing in front of Dennis’snce in the crater.


    Everyone turned their attention to the teen who had just yelled. Though time was of essence and they should be searching for gs instead of doing other useless things, their curiosity got the best of them by seeing Dennis’snce that the teen who shouted was pointing at.


    Thence, even from far away, looked undamaged and devoid of stains. It had been through two explosions and still being in pristine condition made the curiosity of the students pique. They wanted to know what the cause was and since a teen pointed towards something, they thought he might know a thing or two about thence.


    “Stop stuttering and get to the point.” A witch teen said impolitely.


    “Yeah…well, everyone, thisnce, isn’t it the same as the one found in training arenas in the academy?” The teen standing in front of thence said to everyone.


    “Hmm?” A teen hummed and raised his eyebrows. He went down into the crater and arrived in front of thence. He looked at it closely and widening his eyes in surprise, he yelled.


    “HOLY SHIT! IT REALLY IS THE SAME!”


    “What!?” Everyone muttered.


    One by one, many came down into the crater and looked at thence. They all gasped, looking at it in shock and surprise. It seemed unbelievable to them that amonnce could be this durable. One of the teen who couldn’t believe it, muttered while sweating profusely.


    “T-this couldn’t be i-it. This is de-definitely an artifact that looks the same.”


    A few people nodded their heads in approval as they too thought the same. The teen in front of thence sighed and said, ” Let me prove it to you then.”


    Saying so, he grabbed thence and held it with both his hands. He used a bit of force and thence snapped in half.


    Gasp!


    Everyone gasped hard once again in shock. The snapping of thence just proved that thence was an ordinary one they found in the training arenas. Everyone present shivered uncontrobly as they remembered Dennis’s prowess, making them fear and respect him once more.


    If an ordinarynce could wound a highly dexterous giant so much, what would happen if they were hit by an actual high grade artifact coupled with Dennis’s prowess? Everyone felt a shiver down their spine thinking so. After calming themselves down, they all moved away from the crater and went back to searching for the gs.


    Lith looked at this scene in silence as he thought to himself. ‘When will my turne to flex like this and shock people?’. Shaking his head, he soon got over it as those were just his passing thoughts.


    Moving away from the tall tree after this small event was over, Lith headed towards Ralph, who had the most gs on him right now. He had already nned on collecting all the gs in thepetition by doing his best in the assignment.


    He had the ability to do so and failing to do such a simple thing would be an insult to his years of training that he did with his sister and mother. It would also mean wasting the natural talent he had and he didn’t want to let this happen.


    Lith always ensured that whatever actions he took, none of them ever brought shame upon his family. Thinking of such things and about family, Lith chuckled, thinking of a quote he suddenly remembered from his past life.


    It was from a movie where a bald guy who loved cars stated the quote: ‘The most important thing in life will always be family’.


    It was only now did Lith realise that the bald guy was right; family is everything, and he felt a little guilty forughing at memes made by people regarding this quote in his past life.


    While overthinking about useless things for a few minutes, Lith had already reached near Ralph. He stopped thinking about any other stuff and thought of a way to take the gs from Ralph.
