"Ahhh… what a glorious performance."
Robin's voice rang close, snapping Jefel out of his daze. He blinked and realized he was back in the office. His eyes darted to the clock ⏰—barely a second had passed.
"What the hell… a second…?"
His whole body hummed. Power surged in his veins, strength cursing through every fiber. He felt as though he could shatter a mountain 🏔️ with his bare hands—and this wasn't even true cultivation stage yet.
His awareness stretched outward unnaturally. His sight pierced walls, and suddenly—he saw both Lark and Lucy outside the office, unaware he was watching.
The danger he once felt from them… was fading. They were still far above him, but no longer untouchable.

A voice cracked into his mind—Lark's.
I warned you not to probe. Succeeding on Lucy doesn't mean you'll succeed on me, boy.
Jefel flinched, replying quickly, "I'm sorry."
You better not repeat it, Lark answered coldly.
Jefel's chest tightened. If Lark noticed, then he's stronger. Which means… he's in the Awaken Realm.
"Ohhh, wonderful."
The familiar voice made him turn—Robin. He had almost forgotten his presence.
"Already probing others?" Robin chuckled darkly. "That's great. But do you know the consequences of probing someone stronger?"
Jefel nodded. "Uncle, I… actually succeeded on Lucy. But Lark was too strong."
Robin froze. His eyes widened. "What the fuck do you mean—you succeeded probing a Mortal Realm while you're in Minor Realm!?"
He exhaled slowly, studying Jefel. No… this isn't normal. His mental strength… it feels the same as the Saints Realm. How is this possible?
"Okay. Enough," Robin said sharply. "Lark. Lucy. Come in."
The duo entered. The moment they stepped inside, both halted. A dangerous pressure radiated from Jefel—even though he contained his aura.
Lucy's eyes widened. His gaze alone sent shivers through her. Lark clenched his fists, whispering, "Even me… I want to fight him. What happened in mere seconds? Was he hiding this power all along?"
Robin's voice cut through the tension. "Both of you—take him to the academy. Evaluation. Tests. Train him to his limit before the tournament. And if his life is ever on the line—you protect him."
The duo nodded, silent. They turned, guiding Jefel to the door.
But before stepping out, Jefel glanced back. "Thank you, Uncle."
Robin smirked. "Hahaha… don't thank me. Save it for the real me. I'm merely a clone."
Jefel froze, eyes widening. "What!!? A clon—"
SNAP—
Before he could finish, Robin's clone snapped his fingers. Light swallowed the trio, sending them away.
