“It is done.” Stated Paulo Ricci after signing the contract and sealing the deal, at last.
He smiled kindly and the expressionless youth, feeling genuinely relieved that everything proceeded as it should be. It has been three days since Trewan’s funeral and, instead of leaving or disappearing, Bin actually stayed in Rome, precisely in Paulo’s residence.
His two friends, however, left after a heated argument with the youth. Beatrice, especially, was angry at Bin’s behavior. Not only did he not appear in the funeral, but he also distanced himself in his room and refused to talk to anyone.
Moreover, he attacked the Blood Facility alone, which was not how they agreed to go about it. Bin always did things his own way, refused to listen to reason, and

Volume 3 : Liberty or DeathA few days before Bin appeared in the academy as a transfer student, he met with Bert Polaris, who was still loosely monitored by the Sigma Team of Abyss.The man behaved the same as usual, wearing the white suit and displaying a wide smile at his guest.As he saw Bin after such a long time, Bert maintained a brief silence in which he scanned the youth from head to toe before bursting out in laughter.As for Bin, he sat opposite the man and waited for him to finish his laughter.“They’re not wrong when they say that seeing is believing!”Bert waved his hand at his young and new female
“Bin, would you let me examine your body?”The thing that weighed on Emilia’s mind the most is Bin’s peculiar physical condition. She and Ann are experts in the medical field and with them joining hands, they can come up with an accurate result regarding Bin’s condition.They were still not aware that he did a full check-up not long ago so, from Bin’s perspective, further tests are unnecessary and just a waste of time. He knew his body best and, for now, excluding those frequent visions, there haven’t been any detrimental side effects.Actually, he’s now able to use the blue fire and his smelling sense is greatly augmented, allowing him to smell things far away from him, whether it’s an animal or a human. He’s still
It had been a long day for Bin, from coercing Thomas to enroll him into his academy to meeting Jasmine and the rest. While it is true that he wasn’t physically exhausted, his mental state is unstable. He wasn’t outright crazy, however, those visions, which were appearing almost daily, made him feel as if his connection with reality is being lost.It was an inexplicably weird and uncomfortable sensation that was pulling him elsewhere against his will. The more he experiences it, the more anxious he gets, despite it not inflicting any harm on him.He had just sat on his bed only for his phone to vibrate but when he looked at the screen, the calling number was unfamiliar.There was no reason to ignore it so Bin received the call and put the phone against his ear, so
as it so happens, tonight was one of the days Emilia slept in Ann’s laboratory. The distance between the clinic and Bin’s old apartment wasn’t small and although it’s not that comfortable, the female scientist deemed it better to stay overnight.However, Ann’s cry of surprise awakened Emilia, who darted toward the source of the cry only to see her own son standing there with someone on his back.Ann got embarrassed, with a flushed face, she stood up and avoided eye contact with the sudden visitor. It was only when the door was unlocked and Bin entered did the young doctor realize who the person on his back was.“Dr. Galen?!”“He’s dead.” 
It was the second school day for Bin, who came in quickly and chose a random seat. Unlike yesterday, he has more classes with the first being Julia’s. Actually, Bin would rather not meet the teacher, however, it’s almost impossible to do that within the campus.The only reason they didn’t meet yesterday was because he appeared when she was teaching and had left quickly too, leaving Julia with no time to find him.Today, with her class being the first, she won’t let him go and will pester him about their old promise. Bin has not forgotten about their ridiculous deal, in which he agreed to become her personal student so she could teach him.At that, he had no interest in learning magic, neither did he want to waste time with Julia, after all, the
The 29 students were grouped together in one of the training grounds, all their attention focused on Julia.“Before you ask, there will be no spars today, only practice. Today’s lesson is Mana Coating, which is something most of you would ignore or ridicule.”First, she demonstrated what Mana Coating is then begun her explanation.“Like Magic, which is essentially the conversion of Mana into a specific element, Mana Coating makes use of the Mana inside one’s body to strengthen the body. Even if you’re not interested in using Mana Coating in the future, learning it remains mandatory. First, a body that is efficiently coated with Mana is more resistant than one without. A fall from a great height or getting hit by a moving vehicle can
“Remember Do Eun-Kyung?”As she was driving the car, Julia glanced at the silent youth and, with a smirk on her face, asked.Bin met her gaze and thought for a moment before shaking his head once. Still, Julia refreshed his memory by saying,“He’s my fiancé, whom we lied to when we coincidentally met. Remember? The day you took me to an abandoned hotel only to almost be buried alive?”Her voice contained a mix of blame and mockery, but Bin didn’t seem affected. He could vaguely recall that rich man but as he only met him once, and it was a brief encounter, the previous mention of his name didn’t ring any bells.“He may not look the part, but Eun-Kyung graduated from the magic academy. He’s a strong magic-user… and the perfect opponent for you to fight.”“Fig
“Got anything to say?”Do Eun-Kyung’s haughtiness was nowhere to be seen, he stood there and glared at Bin, somewhat unwilling to admit defeat this soon, but, ultimately, his fear of pain made him surrender.Bin was nonchalantly removing the icicle that pierced a small part of his abdomen. Not even a bit of blood came out, which startled the spectating Bryan.It didn’t take long for Eun-Kyung to leave the training facility, he was embarrassed and angry so trying to refute what happened or come up with an excuse will only lower his image.Bin was left alone with Julia and her older brother, both giving him inexplicable gazes. After an indeterminate amount of time in a totally uncomfortable sil
