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:
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dZZNwMcy
"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."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqgP5Gxu5
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLCPRYppy1
"It’s time for the ultimate battle!" the announcer shouted, his voice echoing through the stadium.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTsLg1Ev53
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1iXYs3Bss
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lyxIjl9AV
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzo5xStSl5
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwQWAOXz8D
From the stands, Raven observed the battle intently. Among the spectators, Ryo also sat, arms crossed, silently analyzing the fight.

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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdLtw2nCUl
But just as his stone fist was about to connect, Kyle vanished.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjZYTcqKev
Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzRVb9KnEd
"It’s over."
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg6BQpiGyq
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjFSDhwk60
For a moment, the entire arena fell silent. Then, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ952xmskbJD
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoC0oMcwbS
But Shin did not surrender. Despite the pain surging through his body, he stood tall, his breath heavy but his resolve unwavering.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8X54j7Rn
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL7NkbvNmB
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzeyk4tnxA
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqagAN4p1d
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiZMvMa29F
"Flaming Blade!"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGFMvD5xW
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!
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzOr5ux2MF
And then…
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvOmHye7V6
"Now!"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6kedqH8mP
From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBRpOwfQqM
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwNXbr8UiD
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!
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kb1iPvVim
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wjdJ33Za1
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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrZ9uYZl0v
Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTolxMwJmzQ
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgAHE2OuxV
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0uyGMqr8B
"Who is that?!"
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh9PkPjjK5
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe72A2ZHzw
Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttYMzXafcJ
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3KDWSvHS8
But… Ryo was still following him.
