Chapter 42: Chapter 42
– A Month of Growth and New Limits
Time moved swiftly. A full month had passed since Alden Blackwood had stepped into Astoria Academy.
His life had settled into a structured routine—morning training, classes, practicing weapon arts, and refining his aura and mana control before bed.
He had improved. But was it enough?

A faint golden glow enveloped his body as his strength, speed, and reflexes heightened.
He bent his knees slightly—then vanished from his spot.
BOOM!
A split second later, he reappeared on the other side of the training ground.
"Not bad," he thought with a smirk.
But his limit was five minutes.
Once the time was up, his aura would fade, and he'd feel the weight of exhaustion.
If he pushed beyond the limit, his body would lock up, unable to move
"You're improving, but you're still too slow," Kurenai's voice echoed in his mind.
"I know," Alden muttered.
Shiranui yawned lazily. "Why not just fight stronger people? You'll improve faster if you get beaten up a little."
"I'd rather not get killed in the process."
"Fair point," the fox admitted.
Alden knew his next challenges:
Extend his aura reinforcement beyond five minutes.
Figure out how to coat his daggers in aura without direct contact.
His path was clear.
And he had no intention of stopping now.
