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:
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA1igA0p5i
"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."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIn0vU8r0Y
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.

"It’s time for the ultimate battle!" the announcer shouted, his voice echoing through the stadium.

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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBVRs7ang
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.

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.

But just as his stone fist was about to connect, Kyle vanished.

Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyebXEnLAZO
"It’s over."
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhh2WrK1mU
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.

But Shin did not surrender. Despite the pain surging through his body, he stood tall, his breath heavy but his resolve unwavering.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJkgtJJXfi
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUgSkqgW9c
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BDmSMXa5r
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyJlHZn1e
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5zpQHnAA
"Flaming Blade!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbBHWsuLG
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!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW1a0tvANV
And then…
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFZjyQgAVq
"Now!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP9TJsWIJQ
From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWxnBYbzMb
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP16InVjDh
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!
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92NChyAYrp
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.

Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLAcAk36w
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hz2Ga84a3
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO32X6ggqy
"Who is that?!"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg4h8bO33B
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQhu0M6v9
Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdZQflZGX
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
