The tense atmosphere depicted Lagyura and Hander exchanging intense gazes, not taking their eyes off the person in front of them in the slightest.Through Lagyura's eyes, the intense flow within Hander's body was clearly visible, a terrifying flow that seemed not to end like smoke.The smile etched on Lagyura's lips conveyed a sinister signal to Hander, while Lagyura's gaze slowly emitted an aura of fear."What is he going to do?"While training Lagyura, Hander realized that man's attitude was quite reserved and difficult to predict. It required a clear mind to guess what lay inside his head.However, that wasn't an easy task. Lagyura had always hidden his true attitude, behaving like a puppet that could be commanded, without displaying any expression.Just pondering this was enough for Hander. He quickly used his power to conjure a manifestation of light, becoming a laser that surged forward. Fortunately, Lagyura was prepared for any attack that came his way.This eerie feeling was a

"I don't know how long I've spent on this journey! But every time there's an inexplicable moment about to happen! This kid, he's been struggling enough, not understanding anything that's happening in this world, but still being forced..." A mirror never lies about what it reflects, and that's what Hander felt when he saw Zeion's innocent face. The figure that once existed within his own body. He couldn't understand why the changes within his body had gone this far. A young body, a healthy soul, and thoughts about life had been overpowered by a strong will to live. The moments were so painful and sad, but a smile still appeared on Hander's lips, still able to create joy. "I hope that you will be able to do something right..." The wave of energy that Hander tried to restrain wasn't easy, Desmond kept resisting. Some of his joints were starting to ache, but he c

Plak... The training continued. Since that horrifying incident, Zeion's body couldn't rest peacefully; he had to exert every effort just to survive. Plak... Every moment, Hander's magic attacks continued to touch his body, very different from previous training sessions. Normally, he would only be trained to control the pure energy within his body. But this time, he had to confront an opponent with all the strength he possessed. "What's wrong? Why did you stop, Zeion?" Thrown several meters away, but his body suffered no significant injuries. It always managed to rise despite the pain. "I-I can't give up here..." "Good, you must keep rising, no matter how painful, how burdensome the journey! You must keep rising..." Speaking might be easy, but the training imposed was the real challenge.&nb

Zeion felt like his body was being thrown from a height just like earlier in the afternoon, even if that were to happen, he should have been able to land quickly, but now, he couldn't find a stopping point. "Do you understand, don't you? None of this is permanent; sooner or later, you'll be forced to follow the flow of this cruel life! You won't be able to stop all of this, and I assure you have to struggle with all your might..." Zeion kept his head down, truly feeling the weight of this moment; it felt like there was no place for him to stand. "S-So what should I do?" Trembling, he asked. A direct answer wasn't immediately given by Hander, whose deep gaze was fixed on the young man. Once again, the usually disappointed look Hander used when looking at Zeion appeared. But this time, Zeion wanted an answer; he wouldn't turn away as usual. He wanted a challeng

Zeion still hadn't arrived even after waiting for an hour. "That kid, is he intentionally making me wait here?" Hander's emotions started to spiral out of control; he wanted to step forward and throw a punch. Veins in his hands surfaced, ready to strike. However, before he could take a step, he glanced at the open door of the hut, and not long after, the figure he was waiting for appeared. "Finally, you show up..." Hander spoke up to Zeion, who was now dressed much more impressively. "Uh..." Zeion had never seen a smile on this old man's face before. Even though this is just short, Hander displayed emotions within him, quickly turning away. "That's enough, hurry up, begin your journey. Never appear in front of me again unless you're capable of becoming a great knight..." "Eh..." Zeion was shocked by this statement. He
