Eron sat quietly beneath a half-shaded tree outside the dungeon gates, system menu glowing before his eyes.

Eron exhaled.
"Good. Balanced... and enough mana now to push combo rotations."
The slime spun excitedly in front of him, pulsing with playful glee. Behind him, Blade Hound sniffed the air like it already anticipated the next fight.
And looming just beyond the entrance, the newly created Bonecore Vanguard, Veyrix, stood still like a silent guardian, eyes a dim, patient red.
As they crossed the outer gates, Academy whispers rippled like wildfire.
"That's him! The one with three evolved summons—"
"Wait, that one's... is that a golem? But undead?"
"Primordial Slime?! I thought those were only myth…"
"Who the hell is Eron Valemere?"
Neha grinned beside him. "I think you broke the betting boards."
Seryn rolled her eyes. "More like rewrote the syllabus."
As they entered the main plaza, a sharp chime echoed overhead.

Neha's eyes narrowed. "Elysium Order. Top 10 in the Academy."
Seryn added, "Celvi's summon is a dual-type griffin, reportedly bonded since birth. We're not dealing with casuals."
Eron didn't look worried.
Instead, he grinned.
"I've got plans."
A dark chamber flickered with projected windows.
One image showed Eron walking calmly into the training ward. Behind him marched a line of power:
A Primordial Slime with dual magic cores.
A Bonecore Vanguard, armored in rune-etched bone.
A Blade Hound, faster than ever, energy pulsing at its fangs.
Professor Lenwyr crossed his arms. "The boy hasn't just formed a summon army. He's teaching them."
Master Kheilan, the summoning specialist, narrowed his eyes. "We need to verify how he integrated necromancy and construct logic without prior education."
Lenwyr responded calmly, "Or we let him keep breaking the world's rules and see what he builds next."
As the day closed, Eron sat by the training field while his summons sparred in formation. Slime pulsed through floating blades, Blade Hound dodged precisely, and Veyrix parried with terrifying stability.
Neha sat nearby, silently polishing her gloves.
Seryn watched from a distance, her spirit blade resting across her lap.
No one spoke.
There was no need.
They had 16 hours.
Then it would be time to show the Academy that Eron Valemere wasn't a fluke…
He was the future.
