Chapter 180: The Master At The Door!
Daniel stood with his newly formed team, a strange and potent assembly of Astralis Academy’s finest senior students.
The wasteland around them seemed to go on forever, a dry, cracked land swept by winds that smelled of ozone and far-off storms.
Gideon Anubis, the towering Divine Shield, loomed over the group like a living fortress.
His skin was the color of sun-baked stone, and his massive build was encased in reinforced combat gear, the insignia of Astralis Academy gleaming on his shoulder armor.
Despite his intimidating appearance, his grin was easy, his dark eyes warm.
Beside him, Nicklaus Ironborn stood with the quiet, coiled intensity of a predator.
His silver hair was cropped short, and his piercing blue eyes missed nothing.
His hands rested near the twin energy blades at his hips, their humming cores barely audible beneath the wind.
He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, the others listened.
And then there was Amara Nnaji, the number one Nurse of Astralis Academy.
Her presence was a balm against the wasteland’s oppressive aura.
Her dark skin glowed faintly with an inner light, and her golden eyes shimmered with warmth.
