CHAPTER 10: THE RETURN OF JUN SHIZUKAMI AND THE SUPREME COUNCIL

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1HWm9SgL

The wind moved gently across the high balcony.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7AxiPqOa4

Cloth fluttered.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuFm69DmAg

Silence stretched.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2KOQshFBT

Hayato Shizukami stood alone, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbtP0xXt1n

But he wasn’t truly looking at the world before him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj28IasttL

His mind was elsewhere.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUtIELyvhh

Waiting.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudQ4qcb3IM

…Waiting for him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbg9jfItRF

Jun Shizukami.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ASWF1vvpa

His younger brother.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM0z48vToT

A man who had never been tied down by responsibility.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbLg7t8sap

A man who roamed the world freely, chasing pleasure, adventure, and life itself leaving everything else behind.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuccevuYcn

Leaving everything… to Hayato.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcLed1p0ie

People admired Jun.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bbrfCB48Y

They adored him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPK7BxEwtp

Compared to Hayato, Jun’s fame was unmatched.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTq9j9R3kW

Where Hayato was respected…

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRpjmIVv8Q

Jun was loved.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPDGxqLMJF

Days had passed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VSpSyAHij

The world had begun to change.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKnCTkxFNd

Power had shifted.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8MSYTItuV

Balance had cracked.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfmzVgTksI

And yet

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudtCgyWRwy

Jun had not returned.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPFtApNzIn

The wind grew stronger.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10vYBgwk73

Still no sign of him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnNvGuOgU

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvKEKM7ICm

Footsteps echoed rapidly through the corridor.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNkgTa3yOH

A servant rushed forward, breath uneven.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvoGEuTG7H

“My Lord!”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnfKhn5Pe

Hayato turned slightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqEb0oDE5K

“He’s here… Your brother has returned!”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRKv5iJdnE

For a brief moment

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9uhreVuS

Silence.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJQ0yGwEFz

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Cu7plQpL

WHOOSH!!

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMWQfied2c

Hayato moved instantly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfFWawOOCb

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OV0joFwU

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEILoh4wH

Moments later

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHFqGz86B

A figure stepped inside.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeZPGWYyzD

Energy radiated from him with every step.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFxYhPUf0

Alive.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzqeYExAz8

Unrestrained.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr2htsid4X

“Brother!”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGkb5PjLWQ

Jun Shizukami’s voice carried excitement.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbGDcekSTw

“Where is my nephew? The moment I heard, I left everything and came back!”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVEvBkifp2

A rare smile appeared on Hayato’s face.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkepXIKS1H1

Relief.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIdGJU69lQ

Genuine.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp2hbB9kXr

Without wasting time, the two moved together.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtJZ6z0JhU

Straight toward Ema’s room.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DpvzMnRvv

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAwdVg53wA

The door slid open.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVf8UA7K3

Inside

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bLHwASKrh

Ema stood beside the child.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxviXxAc4i7

Beside her

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q66RUT6DQ

Jun’s wife.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGJfK4eQpF

Calm.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZPNMtPDrU

Watching.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHyp0b412k

Jun stepped closer.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GHYJWwNC6

His gaze fell on the newborn.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcbxZOTl1d

For a moment

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtj9s468T

He said nothing.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeZN4qJUJw

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpQakrmMSC

“…What is his name?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFjpSdz8r

Hayato answered softly “ Takashi Shizukami”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfCI49M99R

The name left his lips like something fragile.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGK4HUTa7a

Jun’s eyes widened instantly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSL5N035Y

Joy burst across his face.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmo5zUEzJH

“So…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvgocfgfZZ

He laughed lightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSbp4uBth4

“I’m an uncle now.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdrIo22MzK

His expression softened as he looked at the child again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6XBSXmM4e

Something in him changed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1QORHkz8p

Just slightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw8eATXHgH

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45F5y0DM4

Later

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXeYEwed9F

A private room.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOndwtobCM3

Closed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJnB3RfMuf

Silent.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy1E2g8mkp

Hayato stood across from Jun.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovfx50PAU3

The atmosphere shifted.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBumSyqabpp

No more warmth.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUaJCp4uAp

Only weight.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrCyFM4EJf

“ Jun…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIGOImWTdM

His voice was steady.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnw3eZx9gf

But heavy.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgVZZkuYRc

“…The past is moving again.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN1gnCQSjh

Jun didn’t interrupt.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DDF1BcgBR

“…There are factions… groups… maybe even individuals…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttIsUZpZdV

“…trying to restart what ended decades ago.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAixiQoCsF

A pause.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWLVlF3SBx

The words settled.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZUJfOWiSC

Slowly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ksGAuSzag

“Old technologies are resurfacing.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GQE6cqNou

“…People are being drawn toward destruction again.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyyFQ44q98

“…And they can be provoked easily.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRvFcn05O3

Jun’s expression darkened slightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwUX9TD5lp

Hayato continued.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajxnsMOhLM

“Our food crisis is no longer what it used to be.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDF51QYRRA

“…Our land is not the only source anymore.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pLnaHwAOz

“…Monster forests… fruits… new lands…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AYfHqFYwr

“…humanity can survive without us now.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLMLIw1Otq

He stepped closer.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXE2tkNBbM

His gaze locked onto Jun’s.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQzhH2PDs

“Our importance…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXob5NUKsT

“…will decrease.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWX7F4yI4I

A pause.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuojIDRlsI

Heavy.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMKrVQY60

“…But the danger will not.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzmJcTXvmv

Silence filled the room.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt44NCZS8RP

Hayato’s voice lowered.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5UN23waQj

Deeper.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFnkVxPgS9

More intense.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFAxVHKe7O

“Our land will remain a target.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWhEINO02j

“…No matter what we do.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjXOjRhF4h

“…The consequences of past wars…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwvfWCdUb

“…are returning.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg7HsqMuOI

Jun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHnKoPoh0

Hayato didn’t look away.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNMpagDGDS

“People still fear us.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANtQDlwmg

“…Even if they claim they don’t.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHE23pQPdT

“…Even if they smile in front of us.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR63lAtETr

A pause.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf9O2Ml45v

Cold.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImHYUGxMq

“Because fear…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YkrwPPE0f

“…comes from power they do not understand.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkptDVzufw

His voice dropped further.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRXAV16Sw6

“And anything humans do not understand…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTNjk7BNFi

“…they will either admire…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlEISVnCI

“…or try to destroy.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLyLUTN17D

Silence.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZs2JJbYO4

“…That has always been the law of this world.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhHU0QIcYO

The words lingered.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2loedJqEjQ

Heavy.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe9terzVol

Unavoidable.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLGfZfIb6W

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQOz05BZE

Hayato straightened slightly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRHsWwFY9

“You will stay.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3TB71Hs7r

No hesitation.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZz8LZUpGV

No request.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kBii9nHSj

A decision.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlU6h9rLuf

“You will help me.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt4Nnczf0T

“You will carry this responsibility… with me.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg5ZJjuFGR

A pause.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EwLSSICfn

“You are loved by the people.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCq6hZCh9F

“…This will not be difficult for you.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2prk90sgnE

Jun looked at him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1VPcJ5E3J

For a moment

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjVB7P2osj

The usual carefree expression remained.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91oqyBg5XY

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvALOs56Yy8

It faded.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaYD3m5FCb

Replaced by something more serious.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxGYJU4pGd

More grounded.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqIki65VWa

“…I understand.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKVj2lsrAo

A faint smile.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDEwUshIE8

“I will stay.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyifIZWwnf

That same day

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWsMjgvKvb

In another part of the estate

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DuNfGpcEY

Life arrived.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4wVjyIi0

A child was born.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzstn885zwq

Kazumi Kaimetsuza’s household was filled with new light.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNZorDF56U

A daughter.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFPeMopyjE

News spread quickly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvuY92Xrdu

Ema and Hayato arrived to offer their congratulations.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpPMzh7Jge

Many leaders were still present in Hayato’s land the central land.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bj4opdYh

Because the balance of the world was shifting.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjOrGS8qVI

And no one wanted to be absent.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIhWx0ZLLB

Voices of celebration filled the space.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlfcGpwa0a

Smiles.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLcsSSVhgM

Warmth.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqTLLMzmq4

But beneath it all

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwuoG3ZxrQ

Everyone knew.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc9WS9Xnb7

This peace…

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0HoSB6gyI

Was temporary.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNImNEUxLk

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMAxqoFI55

The next day

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54QxJRJd8r

The great hall gathered once more.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Zz4AKCpk

Massive pillars.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUzpdaMAe6

Ancient walls.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVuNfQR6Bk

Scrolls laid across long tables.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPMhNMmIkX

Leaders from all lands present.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfNpN3Jnf

At the center

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFEYY4VTHV

General Kazuki stood once again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsWPQh6gb

His voice carried authority.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg06lJ0FgAz

“Who will lead the Supreme Council?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIalwlDp0w

Silence.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBePcSq6uM

Then

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXqbaMunUf

Voices rose.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ychqSQR9D

One after another.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14UxIKVZm

The same name.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRDAsBSu9Z

Again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfbCGEayzi

And again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJTo7R68Vg

Jun Shizukami.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Q0qdEpTt

Nearly unanimous.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsikvgAu1v

Ninety-nine percent.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3UZN7MyO5

Because people trusted him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoUICmzG1W

Because people believed in him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0FToXhF6a

Because people… followed him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSig6pubZb

Hayato leaned slightly toward Jun.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqX2e2B7D8

His voice lowered.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjzgJKylzf

“I contacted the Legendary Sage.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtmE5YFiEm

A pause.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxEpqe2eAq

“No response.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Nr7tyLhH

The hall shifted instantly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5lX5juZFJ

Murmurs spread.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9BDpX8tcC

“The Legendary Sage…?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gaghvKCVe

“…The one who has lived for six centuries?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZ2pCEUKL

“…The one who fought the Black Dragon… and it’s Yurishiro?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXG7Wp1BlX

“…600 years ago?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7cTH56iX8

Confusion.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkU3W0HzYa

Shock.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxH8FgvLS3

Questions rose one after another.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJJII2dehq

“If he exists…”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ZK6fBbVY

“Why has no one seen him?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYQnkJApnp

“Where is he?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb4ne0E5f0

“What is he doing?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8TzDgqNuM

The room filled with uncertainty.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo01clQmUJy

But one thing was clear

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxEhLrQTu

Everyone knew the legend.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdxtHgKZ3F

And everyone respected it.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqjXEpwBG9

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU4LbENXgP

After long discussion

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHe45qzMW7

A decision was made.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhMe7VrB1P

If the Legendary Sage accepted

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54FoqvooaU

He would become the Supreme Chancellor.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXTv012Wdj

If not

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7goGi30uDT

Jun Shizukami would take the position.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtLSqoc7Dq

No objections.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNSEdPRQkO

No resistance.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSCMCERgZ

The decision settled.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbDJiO8T5V

Final.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7rKITw6ba

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYzVwC5cNG

From that moment

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvG0HwRuTT

Everything moved forward.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcyt1NkH9G

Branches were assigned.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPQEPC5kOW

Leaders were chosen.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRVmD58Y4V

Local Shin Warriors at least A Rank

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcqDZbOaLc

Took positions as heads.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2zFXAn4MT

Managing everything.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8HeN6Gtrq

Missions.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooN9mCUGld

Requests.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXOMLEnOJG

Warriors.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RNwCLeXHn

Order.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2akf3olz1y

Responsibility spread across lands.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrytO1d1IqA

At the same time

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77SrucZ1yL

A central institution began to take form.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjRurX9Jua

A place for the next generation.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaL36EUhUF

Training.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkz3JZLhU

Education.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUIhVeTJyj

Growth.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6QE8HuHlh

Not only combat

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwP9cZMshJ

But knowledge.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfznLblsfR

Discipline.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGK4gfg3hQ

Control.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwUnmB5CYj

Students would form squads.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeABiIdG1E

Work together.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbI2B6mwbw

Grow together.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryNhQ5YZBx

Future leaders would rise from there.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZR9VAi8cT

Children of elites.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ257Y6jgCgO

Children of leaders.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2J8cqInvM

And even commoners

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxaLcU3t0w

Given the chance to rise.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EjCdGdxNw

Slowly.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJmZjmg9t

Steadily.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3HSufXdFM

Toward the center of power.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu1N9Ukv4r

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqcKkm1WcK

Days passed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrqEsjxFXe

No response came.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlbhnu4hFu

The Legendary Sage remained silent.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKbOXgBjhk

And so

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tNkPhGUyK

The decision was made.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9gSHFgEAz

Jun Shizukami…

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DYiE2XvcF

Became the Supreme Chancellor.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2j6Uq0IAk

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv4qAO8Fj4

But while order was being built

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i5Ihx4aUF

Chaos was rising.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF5bvWCYgf

In the West Land

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRMytZJsF2

Conflicts intensified.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vv5tyvVNU

Internal struggles grew.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQZqi9CB4h

Rebellion began to surface.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FbB1yctX

Something was moving behind the scenes.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lEQPbopQn

Something unseen.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qTx6cxw8J

Hayato grew busier with each passing day.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHOcA1v4ZP

Pressure mounted.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3OqhAiJT

Threats increased.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz5sLWUQ57

And so

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHt28ysCux

He made a decision.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYj4SCupc

He turned to the one he trusted most.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGy4OrABPu

General Kazuki.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YpYwnBZqB

“You will find it.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4AkyM0tin

His voice was firm.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWpwFiASAZ

“The Divine Legendary Wolf Spirit.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguUKGlS7eI

---

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrPE2rdkNK

Across the lands

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD16vphs66

Branches expanded.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgzvTv5G5l

Shin Warriors registered in large numbers.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeBw139phl

Missions began.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78cEDupZDt

Work flowed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrSW8pwm3u

The system moved.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJzKTcu5Bv

But so did the darkness.
