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:
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTALDh4kQ
"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."
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi5aiDkuvo
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5yPXMjFG
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaXNqKrIZl
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K7AGHEbfb
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.

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.

But just as his stone fist was about to connect, Kyle vanished.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu7NYRr9qY
Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BzRkd1RCL
"It’s over."
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SZwJOOGh
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5HG7VGvby

But Shin did not surrender. Despite the pain surging through his body, he stood tall, his breath heavy but his resolve unwavering.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfArmtnFi6
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQVYIP4aA
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat2I7bZCmY
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcOYb3KR2w
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YZO4xhKCP
"Flaming Blade!"
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofP6pqnuBT
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!
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS98yWpT2k
And then…
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrIkVdHHcd
"Now!"
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjzUiKfKLJ
From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyNC9zM70T
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggxIlDKLb
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!
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9B1bjbWdb
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheroDnSYLx
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.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CrdUPsYqS
Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUW5c4OcEO
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCVC2DiDYu
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGC4ASVQSJ
"Who is that?!"
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkOCQoJFgE
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxnpM0tv5e
Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLoodjtFDM
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
