And now that he had committed to a strike, there was no simple way to stop No matter how fast he was, he was still subject to the laws of inertia The elboas approaching his face with a profound feeling of inevitability

He then proceeded to trip and push Nephis, sending her flying to the ground However, just before she was about to his the rabbed the collar of her dobok and gently pulled, slowing down the fall and allowing Nephis to land on the floor without any iirl blinked a couple of times and looked up at him The whole altercation lasted no more than two seconds
Back in his room, Sunny opened his eyes in shock
'So that's an Ascended Aspect? That's… that's cheating!'
A Sleeper had no business being that fast The powers bestowed upon them by the Spell were supposed to be in their infancy But… Caster was a Legacy, after all
Who kneinto the Acadeave Caster a nod Nephis slowly rose to her feet
The rest of the Sleepers were gawking at the youngeach other in hushed tones It seemed that his performance left them with a deep impression
However, Caster hilanced at Nephis with an unreadable expression
That was because, unlike the rest of them, he came to a certain realization The truth of the matter was known only to him, Nephis, Instructor Rock… and Sunny, as very observant and quickly picked up on such things
The thing that Sleepers failed to notice was that Nephis did not use her Aspect Ability when facing Caster In fact, she had not used it at any point during today's testing No one even knehat her Ability was
And yet, despite his powerful Aspect, Caster barely ainst her
'What a ht, full of unease
The shadow hiding in the corner of the dojo seeree with him wholeheartedly
After that, the introductory co they received, Sleepers headed for the showers Sunny waited for a bit and then directed his shadow to sneak into the boy's locker roo a bunch of teenagers changing clothes, but there was a slight possibility that Caster would either comment on his duel with Nephis or answer some questions about his incredible Aspect Ability
Just as he had expected, the young roup of newly converted fans They were congratulating him on his victory, full of adoration and excitement However, Caster himself seemed to be in a bad rirew darker with each praise he received
"Caster, that was incredible!"
"You Aspect is overpowered, airl stood no chance at all!"
"True Name? Who needs that? She's just a wanna-be!"
Finally, Caster raised his head and pierced the last boy who had spoken with a cold look That boy, just like hiacies in their batch of Sleepers He frowned, surprised by Caster's rection
"What is it?"
Caster gritted his teeth
"I ht have expected such behavior froacy raised an eyebrow
"Why? Is there soirl?"
Caster's eyes widened
"Peasant… peasant girl? Do you really not knoho she is?"
