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:
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ZKe7yiyz
"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."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02YPq1Frg4
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySspI0PE0B
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGMy38HEsH
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbSh8QeaZu
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.

Shin’s eyes widened in shock. He barely had time to react before he felt a gust of wind behind him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFg5JcrLoi
"It’s over."
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJnOLw9TCj
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9jRu2rOZ
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHxvEDLNZO
"Step back and surrender. I don’t want to hurt you any further, but I must win!" Kyle declared, his eyes burning with determination.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRDh8N2LDc
Yet Shin remained silent. His gaze held no fear, only pure defiance. Kyle understood in that instant—Shin would never back down.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJLaTjPJ6
"If that’s your decision… then I’ll end this now!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM6NUC5JaK
"Flaming Blade!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebOgZoWSZ
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!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcIoWHh5k5
And then…
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBXTzVjCwN
"Now!"

From the stands, Raven moved, his face hidden behind a black mask.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs7ma6PiVW
Raven threw several smoke orbs onto the battlefield.

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!
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR1njzrnJO
"Impossible!" Kyle gasped.

Before Kyle could fully comprehend what had just happened, Shin was gone.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocW1xneXlw
Kyle stood frozen in the arena, his eyes wide with disbelief. What just happened? Who was that masked figure?
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡButHElwn99
The audience, who had been watching in complete silence, suddenly erupted into murmurs of astonishment.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeabRmytrtR
"Who is that?!"
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4nePDzLRp
Ryo darted out from the crowd, his eyes locked onto the masked figure who had saved Shin.

Meanwhile, Raven moved swiftly. he had to get Shin to the nearest hospital before he lost consciousness completely.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQX8u2CSmZ
With quick, silent movements, he entered the hospital, placed Shin in the emergency ward, and vanished before anyone could notice him.
