A Gift Too Heavy
"Although my junior sister entered the academy later, Teacher was worried she wouldn't be able to catch up to her peers… and gave her a precious bone of a King Realm beast."
"Hiss…"
The reaction came instantly.
Sharp.
Uncontrolled.
The moment Selena's words settled in the air, the entire inner circle seemed to freeze.
Then—
Whispers exploded.
"A… precious bone of a King Realm beast?"
"That kind of treasure… he just gave it away?"
"Is that even real…?"
Even those who had tried to remain calm could no longer hold their composure.
Because they all understood one thing—
That wasn't just a treasure.
That was something even powerful elders would fight for with their lives.
And Leon…
…gave it to his student.
Just like that.
—
Maya stood there quietly.
But inside—
Her thoughts had already gone far away.
That bone…
She knew exactly what Selena was talking about.
The Inferno Long from the wasteland.
A King Realm beast.
