Chapter 23: The Magi Crystals 1
Near the port of Lamer city .
Luke, Philip, and princess Reina were standing on the roadside .
“Did your problem with your debt go well?”
“Yes, yesterday I stopped by the bank under the Empire with the presence of Bishop Pascal and made things clear . Young lord, you should have seen the expression on the face of the Count…”
At the question from Luke, Pavel answered with a huge grin, rethinking the pleasant experience .
Reina smiled brightly and thanked him again .
“It was all thanks to you . ”
“Hahaha, not at all . ”
Luke was holding his hands while letting out a small laugh .
“I will make sure to repay this grace . So please wait till then . ”
“Okay . ”
Honestly, Luke wanted to say no, but he didn’t want to hurt her pride so Luke nodded .
Two?!
As the departure time approached, the horn began to sound .
“This is a little sad . ”
“The end of a meeting is always parting ways, and after parting ways, there will always be another meeting . ”
When Luke quoted a poem from long ago, Reina smiled .
“It’s ‘Journey of the Wind’ made by the poet Lund . I know that it was a very old song…”
“A good song said that light will never fade even through the ravages of time . ”
And that too was said by Lund .
Saymon heard that directly from Lund .
“You know of all the classics… You seem to be much older than you look, Young Lord . ”
“You think so?”
“Yeah, I was very surprised to know that you were only 17!”
‘Are my words and actions having some kind of an oldie vibe?’
Knowing the age of him, he thought that everyone would overlook his actions .

Then why was Philip or the other servants of Rakan not feeling strange about it?
The questions he had were soon answered by what Philip said,
“Hah, our Young Lord has always been like that since he was a child . He matured fast as both his parents passed away early . And recently after waking up from a dangerous accident, he got much older . ”
“Oh my, I’m so sorry!”
Reina quickly apologized for the wounds that Luke was hiding .
However, that didn’t matter to Luke as he had the soul of Saymon .
“It is alright . We’ll have to part ways now . ”
Luke politely said goodbye to Reina .
Though he wanted to spend more time with her, he had an important mission of protecting something that was very precious to him .
The iron mages, who were next to her, with dreadful expressions had other things to do .
“Please be safe . ”
“Please be safe as well, princess . ”
After saying goodbye to Reina, Luke took the three iron mages into the porting dock .
With a heart filled with regret and expectations of reunion .

Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons: Year One
Build a Dungeon. Slay Heroes. Survive Finals. Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games and dungeon manuals… right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan suddenly finds himself on the doorstep to another world. He’s been unwittingly recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons—the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. Heroes who would destroy the universe if it meant a shot at advancement. Unfortunately, as a bottom-tier cultivator with a laughably weak core, Logan’s dungeon options aren’t exactly stellar, and he finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid, a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he’s going to survive the grueling challenges the academy has in store, he’ll need to ace the odd assortment of classes—Fiendish Fabrication, Dungeon Feng Shui, the Ethics of Murder 101—and learn how to turn his unusual guardian form into an asset instead of a liability. And that’s only if the gargoyle professor doesn’t demote him to a doomed wandering monster first…
