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:
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydvaOTSmyw
"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."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQy2UTb6UL
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.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YeS6EBy5q
"It’s time for the ultimate battle!" the announcer shouted, his voice echoing through the stadium.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXwjLVbizr
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatxOAbjYlT
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GHA1Vtvln
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHuzQp2vEG
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAYssC8ou5
But just as his stone fist was about to connect, Kyle vanished.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEULAEEuh
Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdfA1FhsSS
"It’s over."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQVvBtI5ty
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdvUkQAjdB
For a moment, the entire arena fell silent. Then, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause.

76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yOr3NM4Hm
But Shin did not surrender. Despite the pain surging through his body, he stood tall, his breath heavy but his resolve unwavering.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs0PSAz3Qu
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOW8JNUPnl
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8PXSbwOGM
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnACFPIeTVc
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC33QdgV0J
"Flaming Blade!"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5IIkPD6Ti
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!
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGUDHzt6uA
And then…
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSPAXCCYRM
"Now!"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuOz7yH5jk
From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OQHn17TUB
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6me1hOxm2y
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!
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7zjHBYl2
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Pvj0Tfgv
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.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8FqmKn4gQ
Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEORoIW0Id
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPLR91e02T
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreQFujnxEO
"Who is that?!"
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPW3WIQORr
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDY2YQY3Un
Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXncuLPNnDO
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKIJWYoq25
But… Ryo was still following him.
