Raven began training every day after school, using the fundamentals he learned at the academy, but he knew that relying solely on lessons wouldn't be enough. He spent hours after class honing his magical skills and combat techniques, striving to understand his energy on a deeper level.

His training wasn’t limited to magic alone—he also focused on strengthening his body. He recalled the words of his teacher during one of the lessons:
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlido8CaDR
"You may possess powerful magical techniques, but if your body is weak and your energy runs out, you will lose. On the other hand, if you have a strong body but lack mastery over magic, you won’t last long. That is why you must be strong in all aspects."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdfdertLNz
These words echoed in his mind every day, driving him to push his limits and refine his abilities even further.
After a month of intense training, Raven had become stronger than most students in the school. However, despite his growing power, he kept it hidden from everyone. He knew that the academy selected the strongest students to serve under the royal families, and he had no desire to become a mere tool in their hands.

As the Martial Arts Tournament approached, excitement filled the academy. This competition was a chance for students to prove their skills, gain recognition, and possibly attract the attention of high-ranking officials. Everyone was talking about it, and expectations were high for who would emerge as the champion this time.

Raven wanted to participate. He knew he could defeat most of the competitors—perhaps even win the entire tournament. But the thought of being chosen by the royal families terrified him. He didn’t want to be forced into loyalty or used in power struggles.

As the battles raged on and the roaring crowd filled the arena, the announcer’s voice boomed with excitement, fueling the energy in the air. Most of the fights had ended, and now only the final showdown remained.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqroqKUwmX
"It’s time for the ultimate battle!" the announcer shouted, his voice echoing through the stadium.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxbY6MtZoH
On one side of the arena stood Shin, Raven’s classmate, radiating confidence. He knew he wasn’t an ordinary fighter—he had trained relentlessly for this moment. But his opponent was no weakling either.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyExLMMtLu
On the opposite side stood a mysterious warrior known as Kyle, a fighter renowned for his blinding speed and his ability to end battles within seconds. His long black hair swayed with the wind, and his piercing eyes gleamed like those of a predator eyeing its prey.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIbNErjKpU
The match began. In the blink of an eye, Kyle vanished, moving so fast that only the wind left in his wake could be seen. One moment, he was in front of Shin; the next, he was behind him, landing a flurry of rapid, precise strikes, each one hitting like an invisible bullet.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwjcMo3T0
Shin gritted his teeth, struggling to block the attacks, but Kyle’s speed was overwhelming. Sweat trickled down his forehead, but he refused to surrender.

Determined to turn the tide, Shin activated his magic. His entire arm transformed into solid rock, glowing with the raw power of the earth. This was his chance—if he could land this attack, he might be able to shift the momentum! With a thunderous step, he lunged toward Kyle, the ground trembling beneath his feet.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRpdnSFfnR
But just as his stone fist was about to connect, Kyle vanished.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Onvy3xDxS
Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDDtcK7vBE
"It’s over."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWwcEUrVyu
A cold voice whispered in his ear before Kyle reappeared behind him, delivering a swift, cutting strike. A sharp pain seared through Shin’s shoulder, leaving a deep wound. He gasped, dropping to one knee, struggling to catch his breath.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Ds67AfAM
For a moment, the entire arena fell silent. Then, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause.

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAmQdjQh9V
But Shin did not surrender. Despite the pain surging through his body, he stood tall, his breath heavy but his resolve unwavering.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMhNtxFiJr
Kyle, who respected Shin’s spirit, realized that his opponent had no intention of giving up. With a deep sigh, he raised his weapon high, flames igniting around the blade, forming a deadly glow.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurTVdbCXNb
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5K6xY7AN
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvQaaDSNH
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7sO74rNjW
"Flaming Blade!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3efrYetP6
The deadly technique was unleashed! A storm of fire erupted from Kyle’s sword, spiraling around the blade in a blinding blaze. In a heartbeat, he surged forward at an unbelievable speed, aiming to pierce through Shin and end the match with a single strike!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbkLaA0FEz
And then…
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aSz9eezVh
"Now!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCT1Cns9cO
From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CM1xnI3Xf
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIelSBZntq
Before Kyle could react, Raven appeared in front of Shin, his body wrapped in an intense aura of power. he reached out barehanded toward the Flaming Blade!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8umX4OXDgL
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb71UD3N0f
In a moment of sheer shock, the fiery blade shattered under Raven’s grip, and the flames that once roared vanished as if they had never existed.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJunUZf8Qs
Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ia6KQJDcZ
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIIpIZgLbX
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFBfnv9JE3
"Who is that?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTZVvlhDMB
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZP4xzrwG3
Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CWaU0aVDE
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
