Finally Trapped

"Congratulations! I am sure the principal would be glad when he sees your breakthrough."

Shiba knew that the principal had been extremely worried about the academy's future due to Shire's lack of lifespan.

However, the problem had been solved with Shire's breakthrough.

"True. I want to see his face."

Eini didn't feel as attached to the academy as Shiba was, but the academy was a necessary aid in Shiba's revenge, so she had also been doing her best to ensure that the academy wouldn't have any issues.

After hearing the words of Shiba and Eini, Shire managed to calm his mind.

"Right. We must go back. In the end, this fight had been a blessing in disguise. It shortened my original lifespan, but it also allowed me to breakthrough to Rank 9."

He had no idea about why he advanced to Rank 9, so he attributed it to the fight's pressure plus his realization that his issue was that he had given up.
