“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.<
Julie ended up escorting Bin all the way to the doorstep of his apartment. She even stayed outside for a couple of minutes to ascertain that they weren’t followed here.Bin thought she was over-cautious but he didn’t try to stop her because that will be more troublesome and tiresome than having to deal with the people spying on him.Back in the car, although he acted calm, it was his first time hearing about them, which means that not even his enhanced smell could spot them. Maybe he was too busy with the training or simply tired, but one thing for sure, he had missed them.This could only mean one thing, they are fairly capable, at least enough to watch him from a relatively close distance without getting noticed. Strong as they may be, they would no
After discussing a few matters with Bert, Bin went to his room but did not sleep. Every night, he would fiddle with the dragon scale. Ever since he destroyed the Blood Facility, the scale was dormant. It still has an astronomical amount of Mana, however, it was no longer reacting to any of his attempts, meaning that he can no longer draw Mana from it. ‘Tis for this reason that, despite getting his hands on it, Paulo did not keep it. He could have hired a team of experts and tried to figure out a solution but that would complicate his relationship with Bin, after all, the scale didn’t belong to Paulo to begin with. This small part of the dragon was enough to eradicate the Blood Facility along with everyone in it, it's a priceless magical artifact, unbreakable and highly sought after by the public and secret organizations. Unfortun
“Hey… what are they talking about?”Cara nudged Melissa’s shoulder and pointed at Bin and Melissa with her chin. The two were walking a couple of meters ahead and seemingly discussing something, which is a rare thing to see considering that Bin likes to keep his distance from them.In response, the golden-haired girl smiled but did not speak, she secretly glanced at Rika. Melissa was the only one who knew that her friends harbored feelings of affection toward Bin. It has been the case for a long time but due to the complicated circumstances, she didn’t have the chance to confess.Bin is currently busy hunting Regina and finding information about the Psy
Bin’s eyes fluttered then slowly opened. He felt weight on his thighs and chest and when he looked down, he saw Jasmine sound asleep. She had a habit of hugging him in the middle of sleep and half of her body would be pressed against his. It has been a year and a half since they started dating and the embarrassment of sleeping naked or half-naked was no more. Their relationship only got better and they even moved to a new place with Nina, though it wasn’t far from Emilia and Elise. He wasn’t interested in getting a proper job, nevertheless, he did find an entertaining habit, which was quickly developed. With Jasmine’s support and Bert’s countless acquaintances, Bin had opened a cozy small café in a relatively empty street. It wasn’t the best of locations, but he did not care. Bin was fo
Brule River Boreal Forest State, Russia. The forest, excluding wild beasts, was generally devoid of humans. However, today, it was the total opposite. The Russian Government dispatched its military and barricaded the huge region. Jets were flying through the air, trying to scout the ground and eliminate the legions of Pests stationed around the river and in-between the countless trees. However, the most eye-catching thing was the crimson crack hanging in the sky, its blood-red light outshining even the sun. Its mere presence brought for a foreboding and eerie atmosphere as well as a thick fog of the same color. Although well-equipped, the Russian Government did not act recklessly or rashly. They kne
“I won’t be away for long, okay?” “Promise?” Nina, looking a bit sad, lowered her head and tried not to cry. To appease her, Bin gave her a tight hug and repeatedly reassured her that everything will be alright. It has been ten days since his return to Earth and though no one forced him to act, he deemed now as the right time to get rid of the Rifts once and for all. Fortunately, there were no spotted Rifts in M-nation, therefore, Bin would soon have to leave for other countries. “Next time, I’ll bring you to fun places! I will bring gifts back with me, too!” Jasmine also hugged Nina and playfully pulled her c
“Sorry for the wait.”-Angelica “It’s fine.” Replied Bin as he sat back down next to Jasmine and smiled at her parents. While they discussed things, he spent some time chatting with the servants and managed to clear things up with Hyue. It was a good decision to come here and mend past relationships now that he was moving on and turning a new leaf. Unlike earlier, Theodore looked calmer but he was still glaring at him. As for Angelica, her expression was never-changing and, as always, unreadable. “My husband and I are not against your relationship, Bin. I only ask that you take good care of her.” “It shall be done, Madam.” “It better do! If I hear
Bin and Jasmine walked for a while before they returned to the car.“I should be the one ‘walking you home’. Sadly, I don’t have a driver’s license.”Bin sighed and watched as she drove him back to the villa. The trip back home felt brief as they talked on the way, but when they reached their destination, the two were silent.“If you have nothing to do, let’s meet tomorrow.” Suggested Bin as he looked at the white-haired Silver Dragon.Of course, Jasmine agreed with a meek nod. As he was about to get off, she abruptly stretched her arm and grabbed his, thus making him halt his actions.“Jasmine?”
Late at night, after the family had dinner and everyone retreated to their rooms, Bin went downstairs and, as he had expected, found Emilia in the kitchen. She absent-mindedly looked at the dining table and not even his arrival was noticed. Only when he pulled a chair and sat right next to her did she twitch and look at him. “Mother, you’re still worried?” He faintly smiled and gently grasped her hands, which eased the frown on her face. “How can I not be when my son refuses to listen to reason? Everytime, I get to see you for a brief time and then you leave.” “
Barely half a day after he woke up, Bin was in perfect health. However, Ann insisted that stays for two additional days, to which he nodded in obedience. As expected, he received many visits from Bert and the rest. Elise and, especially, Emilia, came every couple of hours to check on him and bring food. “Umm… so, there’s a matter that warrants an explanation. But, I think it’s better to wait till you come home.” Elise, fidgeting, peeled an orange while uttering those vague words. “It would have been better if you stayed silent.” “I was just warning you. At least, that way, you won’t be as surprised. Just brace yourself… okay?” Life as A Servant
When Bin finally regained his consciousness and opened his eyes, he found himself in an overly-extravagant and spacious hospital room. He took a couple of seconds to look around before slowly sitting up.He wasn’t particularly injured and the overwhelming exhaustion he was subjected to prior and after opening the portal was completely gone, fortunately.“Bin.”Somewhat softly called out to him, thus did his gaze jump to the source of the voice. He was facing Elise, Emilia, and, unexpectedly, the now grown-up Ryne. The three were sitting on a wide leather sofa and chatting quietly only to be startled by his sudden awakening.His mother ran to his side and supported him, fearing that he was experiencing pain. Life as A Servant
“Hurry up, Bin!” Although she was fending off the horde of Pests, Jasmine could not fight forever. She remained close to Bin and continuously swung her sword at any incoming enemies. At the same time, Bin was strengthening his connection with the white crystal. Slowly but surely, a gentle wave of white light flowed from within his body and started taking the shape of a human-sized portal. Unfortunately, Jasmine was reaching her limits and ended up getting blasted far away. Her body crashed on the ground and rolled a couple of times. Although she hastily got back on her feet and ran back, it wasn’t fast enough to stop the Pests from reaching Bin. With all his concentration focused on the connection, Bin could not defend himChapter 495 : Reunion
