Arthur woke up in another world and found the people here... poor in imagination, it was almost heartbreaking. They called a tiny glowing ball the size of a ping-pong ball "a genius." They called a few fallen leaves floating in the air "a miracle." Just one "Fireball" had the whole school buzzing for three days and three nights. Really? Arthur's mind held a complete D&D magic system, from 1st-level spells to 9th-level spells, from elements to forbidden arts. He could pull any one of them out and destroy the competition like it was nothing. At the "Self-Created Magic" ceremony, the students took turns, using every trick they knew. Light spells, splashing water, gentle breezes... The crowd cheered, clapping until their hands hurt. Then came Arthur, the school's most famous "Double-F Failure." Everyone was ready to laugh. He placed his hand on the Awakening Stone, and in his mind, an image flashed, one the people of this world wouldn't even dare to dream about: Four burning meteors tore through the sky and fell from above. "Meteor Blast." The Awakening Stone exploded right then and there. The sky turned blood-red, and magic ran wild for ten miles in every direction. Everyone fell to their knees. The room went dead silent. Right after, the Grand Prophecy kicked in, shouting the news to the entire continent: "Kingdom of Oran, Arthur Voss, has created a 9th-Level Forbidden Spell—Meteor Blast!" The Pope was stunned. The Archmage Saint lost his cool. The Imperial Saintess rushed over overnight. Arthur just rubbed his temples, sighed, and said: "You guys are so bad at imagining things. I really didn't mean to bully you."

"Sect Leader Bai, I see that you have your hands currently preoccupied, may I assist you?" the beaming smile of the other leader had Bai Huali itching to smack it off. Knowing that what she did would not deter the man, Bai Huali simply waved him off and told him to help with the reports. Caught off-guard, Bai Huali blinked before feeling something brush past her lips. "Did you just...?" The other sect leader leaned back and said nothing as he smiled brightly and headed to her office to work on the paperwork leaving Bai Huali standing there. "Jiujiu!"
