The next morning.When Bontu arrived at the lecture hall, the siblings were sleeping outside on the edge of the stairs. He woke them up.“Since when were you two sleeping here?” he couldn’t help but ask.“That’s not important,” Fabby was yawning, and he found it cute. “Edgar found out an important clue regarding the drug seller. It’s someone who wears a green towel it seems. We should confirm if it’s true or not.”“Oh…” Bontu’s eyes lit up. He looked at Edgar for confirmation. “I didn’t think any foot disciple would give away such information.”“Well,” Edgar scratched the back of his head because Bontu was right.

“There is no particular way to unlock one’s Drive because it depends on every individual,” Leo explained to the juniors in the class through a little demonstration. “Assuming that you unlocked the Drive, you will be able to release red energy from your body.” He released reddish energy out of his body. A faint warm breeze washed over the juniors’ faces. “This is called sigma energy which is derived from your blood. And those who can use it are called sigma-level warriors or simply called sigmas or red hoods. There are more levels than one, but the topic of higher levels is for another time.“Some of you here might have the red drive, the sigma energy, and that means you are all at the first level, the sigma level. This level has ten stages. Before I explain those stages, let me give you some advice. Some people take months to go from one stage to another, and

“T-That flaming energy… He’s a Kappa!” Many mouths hung open from what they were witnessing. Marfa, the guy who got his wrist cut last night was also there, and he, too, was exceedingly astounded. Though his hand got stitched back and would take weeks if not months to work like before, it throbbed now more so than ever. That said, many people had ridiculed him for losing to a kid, even though Edgar already had earned a reputation. Now, after the public display he put, all those people who teased him might be feeling like slapping their own faces. Marfa who was intensely eating a sweet potato, even stood and said, “This is the guy who cut my hand. Underestimate him at your own peril.” Marfa was a notable figure among the foot disciples, so his words struck them hard. Becoming a foot disciple of any sect wasn’t a b

In a split second after Gabriella’s hand pierced through Edgar’s collar, his hand grabbed her throat firmly.She thrust her other hand at his heart. Edgar breathed hastily and ballooned his chest and not only blocked her thrust but pushed it back.“White Bite!”In midair, as both of them fell from hundreds of meters high in the air, a spherical mass of lightning snapped the winds and thundered across the whole neighborhood.Gabriella got electrocuted within the field despite managing to activate flaming energy all over her body.Edgar grabbed her arm that was still piercing through his trapezius muscle and pulled it out. He spun in midair and booted her jaw from the side, forcing one of her bloodied te

In the evening.Edgar was taken from the medical hall to the discipline hall. Fabby went along with him. This time, he wasn’t punished for fighting an inner disciple because it was a challenge approved by two masters. Still, he was fined for fighting in the lecture hall. One gold for all the destruction he had caused.One gold wasn’t a small amount. Poor people would take years to earn that much. However, if Edgar were to put his heart into killing beasts or acquiring their cores, then he would earn that in just a few days, mostly because it would take time to find good beasts.And Edgar couldn’t help but ask Ruth Raj, the current head of Discipline Hall, why he wasn’t punished for infiltrating the prison and escaping with his sister. However, Ruth simply responded by saying that Edgar wasn&r
