Last Wish System Chapter 25
Advertisement
Yale and Zack hit the target at the same time and then asked for another target.
They shot a lot of times before the class ended, but they were still unable to break the tie.
When the class ended, Zack let off the bow and laughed.
"It seems that coming to this academy was the right choice. Finally, I found someone who can compete with me. There are too few people who practice archery, and most of them are bad at it. They didn't have any talent nor any desire to improve the archery itself. They are satisfied with following some instructions and conforming with the current status. My objective is to raise the archery again to its golden age."
Yale was astounded, as previously Zack didn't give him the impression of a chatterbox, his personality seemed to have changed when he let off the bow.
"That would be good. Since the loss of the Ancient Archery Path, archery has gotten underestimated."
"That's right, so you also know about it. Of course, you know about it! How could you be as good as me in archery without knowing it? The Ancient Archery Path stood above the Warrior Path and the Magus Path, but sadly, it was lost. However, even if I need to dual practice to be able to become a peerless archer, I will work harder than anyone."
Zack was a real a chatterbox; Yale could only smile while thinking about how he had a chance to obtain the Ancient Archery Path.
Yale knew that the Origin path was the best one. However, when seeing Zack's obsession with archery, Yale thought that if Zack knew that Yale had the opportunity to get the Ancient Archery Path but chose something else instead, Zack would go mad for sure.
Furthermore, Yale thought that even if Zack could practice the two Paths to become a mighty archer, at most, he would make people think better about the archers, but only one person wouldn't be able to make the archers reach a golden age.
After all, practicing two Paths was too hard. One needed to be incredibly talented in both Paths to succeed, and to getting to a golden age for the archers would require too many people becoming mighty archers.
However, Yale didn't want to break Zack's dreams, so he didn't say anything more and let Zack continue talking until he left.
Afterward, Yale returned to his sister's house to practice a bit the Origin Path Training Method before the afternoon classes.

He chose to eat Fasting Pills to not waste time eating, but he couldn't practice the Origin Path Training Method in the midst of the training ground because he could be disturbed and lose his efforts.
The short session of practice was more efficient than usual as Yale had obtained a lot of battle experience, and by using Tri-sword in battle, he became more familiar with the use of the Origin Qi.
After his short training, his Origin points increased to five, and Yale left the house to go to his nine consecutive hours of magic classes.
The first class was the Light Element Class and was one of the less popular ones.
There were only ten students in the class, so the situation was a bit better than in the Archer Battle Class.
However, what let Yale shocked was that among the ten students, he was the only guy, even the teacher was a woman.
The Light element included a lot of healing and illusion magic, and those kinds of techniques weren't popular with the guys. If they had to train a problematic element, they would choose lightning or darkness because those had more cool effects.
However, with perfect grade light element affinity, anyone would choose to attend to the Light Elemental Classes even though they weren't popular, and the techniques weren't cool.
Yale chose to attend to all the classes, and he was very interested in the light element as it had a lot of spells regarding illusions and healing. He didn't care about if it was cool or not, usefulness was the only thing that mattered to him.
Yale had immunity to any illusion, so he shouldn't have too many problems to learn how to use them. One of the most significant dangers of casting an illusion was that the caster could also be caught in the illusion if he did something wrong.
Furthermore, he had a low-grade healing affinity. Even though that class didn't have the focus on the healing aspects, the light element was an essential element to healing.
Initially, Yale wanted to train healing magic because that was his sister's area of expertise, and it always was a good thing knowing how to heal.
However, after he saw the Frost Wolf slowly die in the Beast Trial because he wasn't able to heal her, Yale started to attach more importance to the healing spells.
The classes oriented towards magic were very different from the classes for warriors.

The classes took place in classrooms; all the element classes would always be in the same classroom for the same promotion of students, which was very helpful to someone like Yale who attended all of them.
As that was the first class and everyone was only at 1-star mortal, the lesson was a theoretical one. Some people might find it boring, but as Yale used to be a bookworm, he liked to obtain more knowledge and liked that kind of lecture.
Yale's horizons expanded thanks to the lecture, the teacher's explication about the light element was far more profound than what the books explained, and of course, that was only an explanation to beginners.
In the last part of the class, the teacher asked if any of the students had learned a light element Magic Skill. Usually, a 1-star mortal erudite would only study one spell and focus on it to reach the 2-star. Thus, the classes didn't force the students to learn more spells.
However, if someone practiced a spell of that element, then the student could show it to the others and get an evaluation from the teacher.
One girl stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"I'm Aizu, no need to know my surname. I practiced a light element illusion spell. I ask permission to cast it to the class."
Usually, the spell would be cast to the teacher to avoid hurting the other students, but as the Magic Skill was an illusion with an area of effect, it was better to cast it to the whole class.
The teacher nodded, and Aizu used her illusion over the whole area of the class.
An illusion spell cast by a 1-star mortal couldn't influence the teacher, but although she wasn't affected, she nodded in approval to Aizu because that spell was extraordinary for a 1-star mortal.
Yale looked at the eight classmates who were still seated with vacant looks on their faces as they got caught into an illusion.
Yale couldn't be affected by any illusion, and after seeing everyone with those vacant looks, he remembered a particular scene of his past and forced himself to stop thinking about it.
The teacher and Aizu also had strange faces as they saw how Yale looked to the rest of the class before stopping again. They understood that he wasn't affected by the illusion.
Usually, one would think that there was a problem with Aizu's illusion, but the teacher herself had verified the effects of that spell, and a 1-star mortal shouldn't be able to avoid being affected.
Even if he were talented in illusions and could dispel the illusion cast by Aizu, he would have needed at least half a minute.
Yale also saw that they were looking at him and understood that he again obtained undesired attention. He only remained seated without doing nothing more than look a bit at his classmates but ended up being the center of attention due to his Illusion Immunity.
Since Yale's plans to be low-key had proven to be useless, he decided to show off and tell the truth.
"The truth is that I'm immune to any illusion, so there was nothing wrong with the spell. I can't fall into an illusion unless I want."
The teacher and Aizu have weird looks as they heard Yale because that was difficult to believe.
Aizu didn't want to believe that someone of her generation had such immunity, but at the same time, she wanted to believe. After all, if what Yale said was true, then there wasn't any problem with her spell, but if he was lying, then her illusion was flawed.
The teacher was specialized in illusion spells, so if Yale were utterly immune to her spells, she would feel depressed, and she wouldn't be able to rest without proving that Yale could be affected by her illusions.
Then, the teacher cast her illusion on Yale without saying anything, that was something that a teacher shouldn't do, but she thought that as Yale was too arrogant and underestimated the power of illusions, scaring him a bit would be alright.
However, Yale wasn't affected. He had told the truth as not even the powerful spell cast in the whole clan years before was able to influence him, and the system ensured that he was utterly immune to any illusion.
The teacher's face grew darker as she confirmed that her spell hadn't done anything to Yale.
"It seems that you aren't lying, what's your name?"
"I'm Yale. The surname does not matter."
When Yale heard Aizu's presentation, he thought that was an excellent method to introduce himself because he didn't want to be related to the Roanmad clan anymore.

My Failed Reincarnation as a Demon’s Prisoner
When Kayn opened his eyes in the empty void, he was met with a familiar voice and the knowledge that he was neither dead nor alive and about to be reincarnated. What he didn't expect was to reappear in the world of the living and immediately get captured by a clan of demons, now living as their prisoner. After a lucky encounter, Kayn stumbles upon a room that could possibly give him what he needs to free himself from their captivity. But, as he soon finds out, escaping from the demon queen herself isn't the easiest of tasks... **DISCLAIMER**This story attempts to be quite comedic (I don't know if I'm doing a great job at it) and will be more comedy heavy at the start than later on. As the situations Kayn finds himself in become more grave, the story will become serious and less comedy oriented. There will always be comedy throughout, but at some point I do plan on shifting the focus. I'd love to hear everyones opinion on whether the comedy should be kept in full, or dialed back a little so the plot can take centre stage more often. Happy reading!
