Chapter44-The Fearsome Magical Beast

At Ilan Royal Academy, the campus had fallen into a rare, solemn silence.

After experiencing a major battle not long ago, the students had become more determined than ever. A harsh reality had finally settled into their hearts: even the once seemingly invincible Ilan Principality was not as powerful as they'd imagined. If a true threat came knocking, annihilation could be just a matter of days—or even hours.

In the end, only by becoming stronger could they stand a chance at resisting powerful enemies.

Especially for those students selected to participate in the Trial of the Luminous Pearl, a sense of urgency and ambition had taken root. Each of them trained fervently, determined to raise their magic levels as high as possible before the trial.

The academy spared no effort in supporting them. Resources were distributed generously.
