“Your prosthetic arm is an extra protection measure but it makes your training much harder.”
Although it’s early in the morning, the dark-haired teacher looked very energetic, much more than Bin. She shook her head and sighed, slightly disappointed that Bin is missing a whole arm.
Hands are, more or less, the most important body parts in manipulating Mana. Most magic-users, if not all of them, emitt their Magic directly from their hands, whether it’s from the fingers, or palms, or the hand as a whole.
Not only that, but the hands facilitate the circulation of Mana, therefore, having not just a hand but a whole arm missing can be very detrimental and potentially slows down Bin’s magic advancement.
“Who do we have here?”A fairly muscular student with long black hair pushed to the back using gel stepped forth, approaching Tybalt while snickering, an evil grin on his face.“I thought the principal warned you to stop causing trouble.”The man laughed as he mockingly spoke, though he did not fail to notice Bin.“You seem to have brought company today. Is he perhaps the new and mysterious transfer student?”As he asked that, he turned his head to the two students belonging to Bin’s class. They were two girls that dressed and acted like delinquents, but the funny thing is that they are pretty docile in class,
“Hurry up! I don’t have all night.”James was leaning against his car and angrily shouting at his subordinates, who were transporting the goods. They were in a private warehouse south of Weij City, in a region housing all kinds of factories and warehouses. The air is polluted and the area is not properly managed by the government, making it the perfect place for shady and illegal deals, pretty much like the one happening tonight.Melissa’s older brother, James, was here to supervise and make sure that things are properly handled, but, from the looks of it, he wasn’t doing a good job.He was flirting with a lady next to him and could not wait to get out of here and enjoy the rest of his night. He was supposed to be resting today but his father su
“Attacked, you say? And by just one person?”Francois was sitting cross-legged as he questioned his kneeling son. Unexpectedly, the father wasn’t at all angry, he was actually smiling, but that may be due to the presence of an unfamiliar woman in the room.“Y-yes father. He was wearing a mask and used strange magic.”“Strange?”The woman furrowed her brow and looked at the blond young man, a smiling soon surfacing on her beautiful face.Although he didn’t know the woman, James didn’t dare to act disrespectfully. She was his father’s esteemed guest and he ought to show her proper respect.
The talk with Jasmine lasted for half an hour, more or less, but instead of directly leaving the manor, Bin went to the garden behind the manor, the spot where he and Hyue used to meet in the past.As he had expected, the maid girl was sitting there alone, gazing at the starry sky and enjoying the warm breeze of Spring.“Hello.”Bin walked to the lone bench and greeted the girl, who had grown into a beautiful woman in the span of just one year. Hyue was older than both Bin and Jasmine, and, for some one of her age, she always acted mature and responsible, never demanding or complaining.“Hi.”The maid slightly bowed her head and reci
Due to various reasons, mainly what he heard from Angelica, Bin was incapable of sleeping or resting. He spent the whole night laying on the bed and thinking about all kinds of possibilities, hoping that Emilia’s theory is true. The theory revolves around three things; The Magicis Ignaro, the Tower of Sins, and Mina. What Angelica previously is that his sister might be alive and it was not just a spontaneous statement to grab Bin’s attention. It was Emilia who came up with this plausible theory and relayed it to Angelica, who had better chances in talking to Bin. After all, the Head Scientist was being shunned by her son and trying to force it will only complicate things. Fortunately, Angelica did her job flawlessly and told him about it. In essence, the theory links M
After helping the two first years, Bin headed to class and quietly listened to the lecture. There was one thing that annoyed him, it was none other than Tybalt, who kept glaring at him, clearly not looking happy. Not at all.“I doubt even someone who has a crush on you would look so intensely, hehehe..”Sitting next to him, the blonde-haired Melissa chuckled and waved her hand at Tybalt, mocking him for being so obvious.“...”“So you fought with your new friend? I definitely did not see that coming.”Melissa seemed to be curious about
“This kid attacked me first! I was just defending myself!”Adrian was flaring up, refusing to sit down and talk about it. If not for Thomas and the old woman, he would have attacked Bin.“Adrian, calm down.”Thomas ordered the nurse to sit down, which he eventually did, but he was restless and clearly angry.“He’s a new student, he doesn’t know the rules yet. Stop behaving like this.”“So what if he’s new? Not attacking teachers is common sense! This little fucker attacked with the intent to kill me.”Bin was the opposite of the nurs
“Use everything you have, except for Black Magic, of course.”Julia stood several meters away from Bin and readied herself.Today, after school, he was taken to the training facility by the teacher, who’s insisting that he has to use all of his spare time to hone his magic and get stronger.“Don’t hold back.”“I won’t.” He retorted, raising his left hand and shooting a couple of arrows made of nothing but blue fire.Julia was motionless, not even raising her hands, she was confident in her magic. The arrows hit small circular-shaped floating ice barriers and disintegrated into nothing.<
