the next day.

Ivy opened the door as usual.

"Hmm... Who is it? Why are they knocking on the door..."

Before she could finish speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of Ivy.

"Hmm? Kelos, or the Dean...?"

She looked up.

He was a burly man whom I had never met before.

His entire body was covered in black, making it impossible to see his face.

"Wait, who are you?"

Just as she subconsciously pulled out the Destiny Card, two familiar figures emerged from the man's shoulders.

"Sister Ivy, we've come to see you!"

"Look, this is our new recruit, Julius! What do you think, isn't he impressive?"

Upon seeing that there were two little ones, Ivy nodded blankly.

"Yes, it is quite imposing..."

As she spoke, she retreated into the room and found a place to sit down.

"Um, what brings you here? And who is this person you brought?"

In response to Ivy's question, the two little ones jumped off Julius.

Well, that's a long story.

"Anyway, this person was recommended by Sister Xiaobai, and we want to participate in the competition together! Sister Ivy, could you give him a chance?"

Hearing the two little ones' request, Ivy looked at Julius in a daze.

"He...he's going to participate?"

"That's right! All I need to do is register as a student with you, Sister Ivy!"

"By the way, Julius is only seventeen years old this year, the same age as his brother Caesar and the others!"

……

Dean's Office.

"This... is she seventeen?"

Xavier stared stiffly at Julius.

At this moment, Ivy stood to the side, scratching her head somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, Dean, I just tested it with tree ring stone, and she is indeed only seventeen years old, and that was just a few months ago."

Upon hearing Ivy's explanation, Xavier scrutinized Julius once more.

"I heard you're that Bai's friend?"

Julius nodded.

"Let's assume so."

Xavier walked around Julius while scrutinizing him.

"You said you want to participate in the league competition?"

"Yes."

"Why? What's the reason?"

When Xavier asked him a question, Julius looked down at him.

Does this need a reason?

Upon hearing this reply, Xavier immediately grasped Julius's hand.

"Excellent! We need students like you to participate in the competition!"

Ivy chimed in from the side.

"Dean! I haven't even said I'd accept him! When did he become our student?!"

Xavier blocked Ivy's path with one hand.

"You don't need to worry about this. From now on, he is my personal disciple!"

As he spoke, he looked at Julius.

"If there are no problems, you can come with me to the tower to train now. I'll teach you a few rare sword techniques, and also give that kid Kelos a sparring partner."

Julius nodded slightly in response to Xavier's request.

"Whatever. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

With that, he released Xavier's hand and carried the two little ones out of the office.

After he left, Xavier shook his numb hand and wiped away the cold sweat.

"Ivy, you always manage to give me a wonderful surprise every time you come."

"Uh... Dean, what do you mean by that?"

Xavier walked to the window and, in the diffused backlight, looked solemnly at Ivy.

"Let's put it this way, that big guy... I can't beat him."

……

outside.

The two little ones sat on Julius's shoulders, excitedly pointing around.

"There! There! Go that way!"

"No, we should go that way!"

Following the directions given by the two little ones, Julius walked through various places within the Dome Academy.

Along the way, many students stopped and secretly looked at the tall and imposing Julius.

During this time, there were quite a few people whose eyes fell on the two little ones.

But as soon as Julius cast his gaze, these people immediately shrank back.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Julius suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? What's wrong, you big black charcoal?"

"Have we bothered you?"

Julius shook his head when asked by the two children.

No, that's not true.

As he spoke, he turned to look at a student behind him.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon being asked this by Julius, the other party immediately panicked.

"No, no! I just..."

Seeing the other person's nervous stuttering, Julius glanced around.

A group of people were gathered around a pillar, watching with curious eyes.

Upon noticing Julius's gaze, they quickly turned away.

Seeing this, Julius lowered his head and asked.

"Did they force you to come?"

"No, no, no! It has nothing to do with them! It's all my fault, all my fault..."

Julius shook his head.

"Okay, I understand."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the other person's head.

The next second, a faint black aura surged into the other person's body.

"You can choose whether or not to use this power; it's all up to your decision. Just be willing to bear the consequences."

Having said that, Julius left the place.

……

After walking for a while...

Julius stopped in front of the domed tower.

"Huh? We're back again?"

"Are we supposed to listen to that dean and train here?"

Julius nodded in response to the two children's questions.

"Pretty much. But it wasn't the dean's training. To be precise, I'm not interested in his techniques."

As he spoke, he raised his head.

"I want to try my luck at this tower and see if I can make it all the way to the top in one go."

Upon hearing this, the two little ones pondered for a moment.

"Aren't we in your way when we sit on your shoulders?"

"Should we get down first?"

Julius shook his head.

"No need."

With that, he raised the black greatsword in one hand and stepped into the trial level of the domed tower.

As soon as he entered, he saw a student lying on the ground.

"Holy crap... are the trial monsters on the first floor really this tough? They're blocking the entrance, what do we do?"

At that moment, another student climbed up to him.

"I heard that it's because Keros and Nemo are too strong. The two of them quickly cleared 300 floors of the tower, triggering the tower's balancing mechanism, which caused the overall monster strength to increase."

"Heh...they're pretty tough. I'm relieved to have these two big shots at Dome Academy. I just don't know what will happen to my five credits if I can't get through the tower."

As he spoke, the student looked up at Julius.

"Huh? I don't recognize this person. Is this their first time climbing the tower? They seem to be a warrior."

The student called out as he saw Julius approaching.

"Hey bro! The tower's been a bit tough lately, why don't you come back later?"

Despite the student's reminder, Julius calmly walked past.

"Thanks for reminding me, but it's not necessary."

With that, he lightly raised his black greatsword and cleaved the attacking trial monster in two.

The movements were smooth and fluid, and even the two little ones on my shoulders didn't feel any bumps.

"Well done, you big black charcoal! Let's keep going!"

"Let's try to catch up with Brother Kelos and the others within half an hour!"

Faced with the two little ones' request, Julius took a step back.

"OK."

The next second, he slashed forward, killing the charging monster horde with a single sword strike.

Watching Julius effortlessly kill all the monsters on the first floor, and even manage to keep the two little ones sitting steadily on his shoulders.

The student who had just spoken immediately lost his composure.

"Forget about climbing the tower this semester."
