VERSON

[Enter Loogam or you will die.]
“Huh?”

For the 15-year-old Mika Elbar it was a day like any other. He casually spent his time strolling around the village.
Mika was neither ambitious nor did he have a dream. Unlike the others in his age, he wasn’t really interested in adventures or subjugating monsters and demons to become a hero. It was enough for him to live his life peacefully with his family in the village. However, things didn’t go as planned. 
A voice in his head suddenly threatened him to enter the world’s most renowned magic academy, Loogam. The academy was known for producing the best mages, knights, adventures and even heroes. It goes without saying that whoever graduates from that academy will be swimming in fame and wealth.
Thus, reluctantly, Mika decided to try to enter Loogam with no hopes of getting accepted. After all, his magic was below average and he didn’t even possess one of the world’s 66 mythic relics. Instead, he only had the guidance of a strange voice in his head and a rusty sword on his hip.

But will that be enough to survive in the magic academy Loogam? In the world of Lorw, where dangerous and powerful monsters constantly threat the peace?

The Angelic System That Turned My Life Into Hell

It was at the open training area where Lucio and Mika confronted each other.

Just a few moments ago, Mika fought against demons but they quickly backed away once Lucio told them to.

"I still can't believe that demons are obeying you, a human." Mika remarked as he threw a glare at Lucio.

"You're talking as if you have abandoned your humanity." Lucio replied indifferently.

Lucio took a few steps toward Mika.

"Most demons are creatures who only obey those who are superior to them. Does that answer your question?"

"Are you implying that you're stronger than an A-rank demon?"

Mika was given enough time to catch a break. Now, he could focus again.

"I'm not necessarily stronger but I suppose you could say that I won't lose against anyone except one person." Lucio declared confidently as a grin crept onto his face.

His face was devoid of kindness or warmth and was instead, replaced by menace.

Still Too Far
