Chapter 3: The Contractor of the Evil Spirit
 

 
“Are you okay?”
 
“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you for your concern…”
 
After carrying the injured disciplinary committee members to the infirmary and leaving their treatment to Minnea and other medical committee members, I went to check on Leia, who was sitting on the bed after receiving treatment.
 
Leia had been protecting the injured while fighting until Misha and I arrived, so she had sustained some serious, though not life-threatening, injuries.… Read more

 
At first glance, Rourke and the spirit master seemed evenly matched. But Rourke knew he was being pushed back, and he was inwardly panicking.
 
The reason was simple: the sheer weight of each strike, the difference in power.
 
It wasn’t a matter of skill but something more fundamental—the difference in output between a temporary contract and a full spirit contract.
 
Of course, the grade of the sword spirit also played a role, but the fact that the spirit master was fully contracted meant he could unleash his power to its fullest, putting Rourke at a disadvantage.… Read more

“Alright. But if things get dangerous, step back immediately, okay?”
 
“Of course.”
 
Confirming Misha’s nod, I stood up and asked Maris to lead us to the scene.
 
“We’ll talk about the Grand Spirit Martial Festival another time.”
 
“……Yes.”
 
I thought I could use this chaos to dodge the issue, but no such luck.

The scene shifts slightly earlier than when Rourke and Misha received the report about the intruders.… Read more

“Now, let’s get back to the main reason I called you here today.”
 
“It’s about the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival, right?”
 
“You already know? That makes this easier.”
 
As expected, it was about the Great Spirit Martial Arts Festival.
 
“I’d like you to participate in the festival as well.”
 
“Do I have the right to refuse?”
 
“Not exactly… but I’d really like you to participate.”
 
Figures. I knew it.
 
“Why? Isn’t it enough to have Loxley and Trallus participate?”… Read more

Chapter 2: The Intruder

Time passed, and it was after school.
 
While many students were heading to the arena for the ranking match, I was making my way to the student council room. On the way, I ran into a junior I wasn’t particularly eager to meet.
 
“Ah, Rourke-senpai.”
 
“Ugh.”
 
“That reaction hurts, senpai.”
 
I couldn’t help but grimace, and my junior, Tsukikage Akari, expressed her dissatisfaction, though her expression didn’t match her words.… Read more

 
Lenny Bankle, one of the student council members who had been watching the situation unfold from the corner of the room, was stunned to be suddenly called upon, face filled with shock.
 
“Is there a problem?”
 
“No, it’s not exactly a problem, but…”
 
The person in question was the notoriously fearsome Disciplinary Committee Chairman. The likelihood of him willingly responding to a summons was slim, and if his temper were to be provoked, there was no telling what might happen.… Read more

Chapter 1: A Bad Feeling
 

 
Several days had passed since I emerged victorious from the intense ranking match with Ophelia.
 
The aftermath of the fight left me with an overwhelming sense of fatigue, but lectures continued as usual. Today, like every other day, I dragged my heavy as lead body toward the classroom where the lecture would be held.
 
“Hey, Rourke… are you okay?”
 
“Oh, Gareth. Honestly, I’m still exhausted.”
 
“If you’re that tired, you should just skip class.”… Read more

Prologue
 

 
“Eutrea Academy is the only institution in the Kingdom of Romus dedicated to training spirit masters. With a history spanning over a century, this prestigious academy boasts not only talented individuals from royalty and nobility but also houses valuable historical texts and spirit-related materials within its grounds. Naturally, its defense systems are equally impressive.”
 
In a dimly lit room, a man wearing a white mask spoke to Haunted, who sat backward on a chair, listening intently, about the details of Eutrea Academy.… Read more

Epilogue

An old, solitary house stood on the outskirts of the Academy City.

Inside, three men were gathered, deep in conversation.

“I hear the simple contract with the evil spirit sent to the Luna Ruins has expired,”

muttered the youngest-looking man with light brown hair, hands clasped behind his head, speaking as if it were someone else’s problem.

“Does that mean someone defeated that high-ranking evil spirit? Not bad. Who did it, Haunted?”

asked the man wearing a white mask, exuding an eerie atmosphere.… Read more

 
Roaring to psyche himself up, Rourke readies his sword to meet the stone pillars.
 
The first one comes spinning towards him. Rourke swings his sword upward from below, infusing it with the utmost spirit power. With a high-pitched sound and a shower of sparks, he succeeds in altering its trajectory.
 
The second pillar follows immediately. Rourke stands his ground and brings his sword down on its tip. The tremendous impact travels through the sword into his arm.… Read more
