Chapter 16: Mission 1
Grandmaster Belrick stood quietly in the observation box, then clapped once and muttered. "This is a rare display of insight... and control."
Darius rushed down and grabbed Kelvin in a bear hug. "That was an insane move."
Kelvin smiled faintly, but his eyes were not on the crowd. They were on Xerion, who lowered his head.

After the peer ascension, Kelvin’s name is now a steady echo in every corridor, dormitory and classroom of Sanctum.
Kelvin sat at the east wing’s private training yard with his leg crossed before a shallow basin of water with steam rising in lazy pattern.
Darius walked up to Kelvin from behind, talking with unrestrained enthusiasm.
"You shut down a Titan-class beast with your coordination. That is what really hit people, how smoothly you and Xerion moved without hurdles.
You were not just casting spells or fighting. You were really coordinating with your beast to make things happen."
"I was not just coordinating," Kelvin murmured. "I was also trying to survive."
Darius paused.
