Skyrend

The supervising teacher had a difficult expression on his face.

“Your Highness, this… this is against the rules. You have already received your weapons…”

“Aiya! Rules are dead, but people are alive!”

“We’ll just go in and watch the excitement. This space itself has a spirit. We can’t take a second weapon anyway.”

“Please be a little flexible! Pretty please!”

The supervising teacher clearly couldn’t win against this overly lively princess and finally sighed helplessly.

He waved his hand.

He tore a temporary rift in the spatial barrier.

“Alright, alright, Your Highness, and Your Highness the Prince, and this… please come in. But please, do not disturb the other students.”

“Thank you, teacher!”

Aphra cheered, pulled Oscar along, and gestured for Black to follow.

The three of them walked into the inner space of the Thousand-Blade Corridor together.

After entering the corridor, their gazes were immediately drawn to a crowd gathered in front of them.

When Black walked over, he was surprised to see Brenna in the crowd as well.

Brenna was holding a four-star staff that flowed with a water-blue halo, a look of joy on her face.

It seemed she had obtained a weapon she was satisfied with.

“C-Cousin!”

Seeing Black, Brenna’s eyes lit up, and she ran over with small steps.

“It’s Irena! Irena got a six-star weapon!”

Just as she finished speaking, she caught sight of Aphra and Oscar beside him.

Brenna’s eyes widened.

Was she seeing things?

Weren’t those two beside her cousin the First Prince and the First Princess?

How did he… how did he know them too?!

Weren’t his connections a bit too terrifying?

After being stunned for a moment, Brenna quickly composed herself.

She respectfully saluted the two members of the Imperial Family.

Hearing what Brenna said, Black’s group turned their gaze to the center of the crowd.

Sure enough.

Irena was standing there, a blank look on her small face, as if she hadn’t fully processed what had happened.

She just stared blankly at the staff in her hand.

The staff was carved from golden oak, its surface rippling with a liquid-like, gilded pattern.

At its tip was a gem like a golden sun, surrounded by a faint halo.

Just one glance was enough to know it was extraordinary.

‘As expected.’

There were not many waves in Black’s heart.

He had already guessed it when he was on his way here.

After all, there were only three people today who could trigger the golden light phenomenon.

There was even a dedicated CG for this scene in the game.

It was one of Irena’s important plot points.

She had obtained her first six-star weapon.

In fact, if she hadn’t obtained that Ring of Inheritance, Irena wouldn’t have been qualified to get a six-star weapon from the Thousand-Blade Corridor.

But with the immense boost in luck that the ring invisibly provided, obtaining this staff was almost a certainty.

The dazed and confused expression on her face was also understandable.

According to her original expectations, she would have been more than satisfied with a five-star weapon.

A look of clear surprise flashed across Oscar’s handsome face, and he said in a low voice.

“That is… the six-star staff, Sun’s Dawn.”

“It’s one of the strongest elemental staves in the Thousand-Blade Corridor. I never thought she would be the one to get it.”

Aphra and Oscar exchanged a look, and both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

They didn’t know much about Irena.

They only knew that she was the illegitimate daughter of Duke Gordon Zork and seemed to not be valued in her family.

They hadn’t expected her to be able to obtain a six-star weapon in the Thousand-Blade Corridor.

“It seems she was the one who triggered the phenomenon just now.”

Oscar stared at Irena’s figure and said slowly.

An inexplicable look appeared on his face, and he thought to himself.

‘Irena Zork…’

‘It seems it’s necessary to pay more attention to her.’

As a prince, Oscar was well aware that his own cultivation talent was not top-tier.

He was better at discovering and investing in talented individuals with potential.

And this young woman before him, who had just gained the recognition of a six-star staff, had undoubtedly piqued his great interest.

Black’s gaze swept through the crowd.

He spotted two more acquaintances.

The chubby Lily and the skinny Martha.

At this moment, they were staring at Irena, who was surrounded by the crowd.

Their faces were a mixture of jealousy and unwillingness, and their gritted teeth made them look somewhat comical.

Black couldn’t help but chuckle.

According to the original game, in today’s Thousand-Blade Corridor, there would be three chosen ones who would obtain six-star weapons.

Irena, Jianye, and Eliyas.

Jianye would obtain the strongest six-star longsword here, the Demon-Cleaver.

And Eliyas would get Skyrend, the strongest six-star longbow in this space.

Its power was on par with the Demon-Cleaver.

Since Irena had already succeeded, the other two would surely not fail.

At the side, Aphra was searching through the crowd, and she pouted.

“Since it’s the second years, that annoying guy must be here too, right?”

“Brother, do you think he can get that Skyrend?”

The “annoying guy” she was referring to was, of course, Eliyas.

Speaking of Eliyas.

Oscar’s expression became noticeably more serious, which showed how much importance he placed on Eliyas.

He said in a deep voice.

“From what I know of him, so far, there has only been things he doesn’t want to do, not things he can’t do.”

“Although academy records show that no one has been able to claim Skyrend yet, I believe he can, he absolutely can.”

His words were filled with an almost absolute evaluation of Eliyas.

Black also agreed with this in his heart.

That person’s talent was truly at a monster level.

Seeing her brother say this, Aphra turned her face away and snorted.

“Hmph! I don’t believe it! I think he can’t do it. I curse him to fail!”

Just as her words fell.

“BOOM!”

A violent explosion sounded from not far away, accompanied by a piercing scream.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a student being hit head-on by a furious burst of energy.

The student was sent flying backward like a broken kite and crashed heavily to the ground.

His whole body was scorched black, his clothes were tattered, and he lay there moaning in pain.

He was clearly seriously injured.

Black and the others turned their gazes to the source of the explosion.

There, a longbow, as transparent as the sky, was suspended.

The body of the bow was strange; it was shattered, composed of hundreds of transparent fragments.

Shattered but not scattered, it showed a flowing azure color.

It didn’t even have a bowstring.

Despite this, they could still feel a heart-pounding aura from this longbow.

It was the six-star longbow, Skyrend!

Seeing the accident inside, the supervising teacher outside’s expression changed, and he hurried in with an emergency medical team.

They quickly administered first aid to the seriously injured young man.

At the same time, he raised his voice and sternly warned the other students.

“Do you all see that? Know your limits! Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!”

“Don’t blindly pursue a six-star weapon. This student is a bloody lesson!”

Witnessing their classmate’s tragic state.

The students who had originally harbored fantasies about Skyrend immediately turned pale and retreated.
