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
An action that is not desired by a teacher toward his students, however, it still must be done.When the student has gone too far and exceeded their limits, it is the teacher's duty to stop them.The energy fluctuations were so terrifying, eyes filled with disappointment, and preparedness tinged with doubt.No matter how much a disciple has changed, they were still innocent and worthy of further lessons.Lagyura felt incredibly excited; finally, he could see his master, who had been looking after him, become more serious.With courage, Lagyura prepared himself to face the upcoming attack.Whoosh...An incredible speed was displayed, accelerating in just a few seconds before launching an attack with a fully empowered staff.Tasp...However, this was still not enough to provide insight, just one hand was enough to block the attack.In the midst of immense pride, Lagyura began releasing energy to eliminate his master, who was still looking at him with disappointment."Don't look at me wi
"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
"Do you want to live peacefully?"Throughout all these incidents, Zeion indeed didn't know what he would do, there was no clear goal, and he thought this life was useless; it would be better if he were dead."Until now, it's always been me who has to endure suffering..."Tears streamed down in succession; he couldn't bear the constant tightness in his chest."Life isn't something you always desire, and you should have understood that! Will everyone be saved if you die?""Everyone?"Zeion didn't understand this at all; there was no space in his mind to think about others. He only knew his suffering was a result of others' actions."Do you even know..." he yelled.Thud...Another blow knocked Zeion's body down two meters, the parts of his body still in recovery now started to ache again.&nbs
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
"Humph... if you're done contemplating, then we should leave immediately!"Hander casually turned around, walking away from the location, leaving Zeion alone.Slowly, Zeion's body began to stand again; some parts of his back felt crushed.This was far from normal; for an average person, they would likely be completely destroyed if they jumped from a 17-meter height.There were no visible defects or wounds on Zeion's body, just a throbbing ache of bruises."Argh... just like usual, Master doesn't hold back when attacking me..." Trying to stand up, his back screamed in pain.For Hander, what he witnessed before his eyes was something that many people wouldn't easily believe—a high-level power possessed by certain individuals over a long time.However, he didn't find anything like that inside Zeion's body.One thin
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
"U-Ugh... Ueeek...""Finally, you're awake..."Quickly, Zeion spat out the bitter liquid that entered his mouth, a green liquid with a strong smell."What are you doing?" Zeion asked, sounding surprised.Plak..."Don't scream in front of your instructor..."Hander's wand landed forcefully on Zeion's cheek, throwing him off balance several times."Argh..."He wanted to scream in pain, but it seemed useless; his body was already too hurt."W-What happened to me?""You fainted earlier; it seems the mental pressure from your condition made your body weak! You should have trained your mind not to be affected in any condition...""S-Sorry..."Zeion sat back, finding this all very strange. For the past few months, his body had never experienc
