----- Soldret sat in stunned silence. The revelations hit him like a mountain collapsing on his chest. He had always known his understanding of the world was shallow — being from the mundane western continent he could hardly claim otherwise — but this was something else entirely. The history he had grown up believing, the very foundation of the world as he understood it, was false. The grand tales of the Primal Genesis World, the heroic alliance that defeated the tyrannical Primals, the eight races peacefully departing to explore new realms… all of it was a comforting lie told to the people of the mundane world to prevent panic. In reality, humanity had won a brutal war only to inherit a fractured, besieged world. They were under constant threat from both the vengeful remnants of the Primals — the Fallens — and the fearful Octagon alliance of the eight other races. The Academies weren't just schools for cultivation. They were fortresses producing the next generation of defenders for a world that could shatter again at any moment. The fragments never showed me any of these. Soldret's mind spun. In his original plans, once he grew strong enough and left the academy, he would return home. He would elevate House Del Ray into a true noble house, protect his family, and live with the power to change their fate. Simple. Straightforward. But now? That dream felt impossibly distant. After leaving Martial Peak, he would likely be sent to the Great Wall or the Outer Battlefields. There would be no peaceful return home — not for a long time, if ever. He said nothing. He simply sat there, staring at the colorful stones on the board game, his ash-grey Martial Force flickering faintly around him like a restless storm. Zephyr, Bam, and Medici watched him quietly. They understood. The weight of the greater world was heavy for anyone to bear the first time they learned the truth — especially for someone who had come from such a sheltered background. Bam, unable to stand the heavy silence any longer, cleared his throat and turned to Zephyr. "So… what exactly is Radahn doing at the Great Wall?" The question snapped Soldret out of his thoughts. He looked up sharply — that was what he had been curious about from the beginning. Zephyr raised the scroll slightly, then set it down on the table. "It seems the Fallens have been unusually aggressive lately. Master had no choice but to answer the summons. After all, he originally came from the Aethal Guard Academy." Medici's eyes widened in genuine surprise. Even Soldret looked startled. Only Bam seemed unsurprised, as if he had already known. Zephyr continued calmly,"As he is the next Chief of the Great Wall, inheriting the position from his father. He doesn't really have a choice to begin with." The words hung in the air. Soldret muttered under his breath, still processing everything. "Even Radahn the old man also has an old man…" Soldret felt another layer of understanding click into place. Radahn wasn't just a powerful Peak Master who enjoyed reading romance novels and beating disciples into shape. He carried the weight of an entire frontline on his shoulders — a duty passed down from his father. The realization made Soldret's chest tighten with a mix of deep respect and quiet worry. The man who had forged him so brutally was out there, fighting on the frontlines against creatures born from the lingering hatred of an extinct supreme race. Bam let out a low sigh. "He really left without saying anything… even after all these years, he still doesn't know how to bid farewell. No wonder his lonely ass got rejected face flat." Zephyr chuckled lightly. Medici shook her head, holding it as if it might fall off. "My head hurts." It seemed even Medici, who usually knew everything, hadn't been aware. Zephyr glanced at Soldret, his expression softening slightly. "Don't worry too much. Master is one of the strongest on the wall. He'll return when the situation stabilizes. Until then… focus on your own growth. The
