Mana’s Last Stand

Aerox Sun released his Rank-3 mana aura, instantly capturing the attention of all the students around him.

"Is this really a Rank-3 aura? Did Aerox reach that rank already?" 

one student whispered in disbelief.

"Even some third-years are only at Rank-3. I can't believe Aerox has managed to get there," 

another said.

"His mana feels stronger than some of the seniors!" 

someone added.

The crowd was buzzing with shock and awe. 

I couldn't hide my surprise. 

In the original novel, Aerox was supposed to reach Rank-3 during the summer vacation, but here he was, achieving it a whole month earlier than expected. 

Something about the recent Wolverine attack made me wonder if it had pushed him to advance sooner.

In the novel, the practical exam ended without the appearance of a Wolverine.

Even though Aerox had reached Rank-, I doubted he was strong enough to take down a Rank-4 Wolverine.
