Blasting down from the sky in a trail of bursting flames, Amber made her fiery entrance behind Saint White.

“I’m going to burn you down, Yuki...”

Amber said with blazing determination.

“You’re still using that name… even though I told you—I abandoned it long ago,” Saint White replied, her voice calm and unreadable.

Even after her battle with an incredibly powerful opponent like Robin, Saint White remained unfazed. Her composure wasn’t just arrogance—it was unshakable belief. In this city, there was no one who could compare to her in strength. At least, not yet.

In theory, Saint White’s power alone could raze the entire city to the ground. Her strength was a nuclear-level threat, a walking catastrophe. If she wished, she could conquer a nation.

Amber knew this too well.

As her childhood friend, Amber understood what Saint White was truly capable of.

In the early days, she thought her friend’s ability was just simple levitation.

But that illusion shattered during their past confrontatio

    It was like staring directly into a giant sun, up close and blinding.The massive fireball lit up the darkened surroundings of Neo Silicon Valley. It was impossible not to turn and stare.The giant flame, resembling the very image of the sun itself, terrified the city's civilians. Everyone feared that the inferno would soon engulf the city in flames.Even the invading terrorists—the so-called White Cultists—were stunned by the sight, mirroring the same fear as the citizens.With Amber’s command,The fireball was pressed downward, crashing into the earth and incinerating everything in its path.The attack ended in a massive explosion, forming a wide crater that still sizzled with red-hot molten rock.After the blast, Amber remained standing, completely untouched by her own ability. Flames still danced around her body like a blazing aura.But the true shock came when Saint White emerged from the smoke—still alive after taking a direct hit.The thermal energy created by that “meteor” sho

    Amber’s eyes were getting heavy, and her muscles were losing power—along with the flames that once burned brightly around her.She had already done her best, but it wasn’t enough. No matter what she tried, there was nothing left she could do.As a last resort, she attempted to escape the spatial bubble by heating her body to extreme temperatures. But at this point, Amber had pushed herself too far. She could no longer manifest large flames—she had lost too much energy in the fight.Is this my end? Amber thought as her eyes slowly began to close. Her mind drifted to memories she made in the city, the friends she created… and most importantly, those from the orphanage where she grew up.Having her friend kill her seemed tragic, but deep in her heart, Amber didn’t think it was so bad…She had betrayed them, even if not intentionally. Back then, she was just a scared and powerless kid.Her vision faded into darkness.Amber closed her eyes, accepting that she had been defeated.“This is no

    Moments later.The darkness in the sky slowly faded.Above the battlefield, the full moon emerged—soft and radiant, casting silver light over the shattered remains of the city. The silence that followed was deafening, yet oddly peaceful, as though the world itself was exhaling after holding its breath for too long.A voice echoed in Amber’s earpiece.“Amber, can you hear me?” Fina’s voice cracked slightly, but she was trying to sound cheerful. “Seems like all the terrorists have been defeated and the bombs are all defused.”“That’s good to know.” Amber exhaled, lowering her weapon. “How about everyone in the organization? Is anyone badly hurt?”“Everyone’s safe. Mei’s already setting up for the karaoke party to celebrate our success. You better sing this time.”Amber let out a faint chuckle. “I’ll think about it.”“Anyways… did you defeat her?”Amber’s eyes wandered toward the two figures across the field. “No,” she said softly. “But someone I know did.”“Who?”Amber smiled faintly. “I

    After successfully capturing the White Cultists who had invaded the city and managing to defuse all of the bombs without triggering mass destruction, Arthur—S-Class, ranked Number One among ability users—entered Mayor William's office to deliver his report.The room was located on the top floor of Neo Silicon Valley’s municipal tower, its wide glass windows overlooking the damaged skyline.Ash still lingered in the air, carried by the wind like the whispers of the fallen.The mayor, a man in his fifties with streaks of silver in his neatly combed hair, sat behind a curved obsidian desk, his expression unreadable as he set down his digital pen.“What is the status?”Mayor William asked, his tone calm but laced with fatigue.The shadows beneath his eyes hinted at sleepless nights and the burden of leadership.Arthur, still wearing his battle-damaged tactical uniform, stood tall with arms crossed.

    I’m so annoyed right now.Seriously, it’s driving me insane.However, I’m not the kind of person who enjoys complaining about every little thing. I usually like to keep my mouth shut and just deal with stuff. But this? This is different. There’s no justice at all in what’s happening.I feel like those shitheads are constantly abusing their authority, punishing people left and right without even bothering to consider our feelings or the circumstances we’re going through.Of course, I’m talking about our professors.It’s been two weeks since the whole White Cult incident. Two brutal, exhausting weeks. So many people lost their homes, their livelihoods, their entire lives.

After all, this was a new place our so-called “new home” and I hadn't really explored this part of the city before. Walking around could be fun… maybe.That was the plan at least.But seriously, is it just me, or is the weather today absolutely insane?I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead, pulled out my phone, and checked the city’s reported heat index."Thirty-seven degrees?!

    The night was heavy, suffocating, as shadows clung to the narrow alley behind an abandoned building.Through the thick darkness, a lone girl moved with silent steps, her petite frame almost blending into the gloom. Her long, light brown hair flowed behind her like a ghostly veil, catching the faint glimmer of a distant streetlight. Fuse.A security camera mounted high above tracked her movement, its red light blinking steadily.At the other end of the live feed, deep within a hidden research facility, a girl in a crisp white lab coat leaned closer to the screen, her voice steady and clinical as she spoke into a headset.Ring! Ring! Ring!The girl's phone vibrated in her pocket.She answered without hesitation, pressing it lightly to her ear."Fuse... Your target has arrived at the location. Your target is the man in the red hoodie. The retriever is standing by, ready to intervene if necessary."The researcher said in a measured tone, as if narrating a simple experiment rather than a m

    I know I told her that I’m treating her to dinner, but why does it feel like she’s taking full advantage of it?The amount of food she just ordered… it’s enough to feed an entire family for three days straight. A normal person wouldn’t even dream of eating this much in one sitting.“So many…”I muttered in disbelief, staring at the mountain of food laid out across the table like a buffet.And then, there’s this girl munching through the plates like there’s no tomorrow, like she’s been starving for days. She stuffed her mouth full, barely taking a breath, completely absorbed in the feast in front of her.A normal person would have stopped her from ordering so much, but seeing her devour the food with such desperation... I just didn’t have the heart. Maybe this really was her first proper meal after a very long time. It made me wonder what she had been through.This girl... she must have been dealing with a lot.“By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet…”I said, trying

    “Hey, scumbag! This girl doesn’t even know you!”“Are you trying to fool us?!”“This guy’s seriously pissing me off. What’s this? Are you playing the hero to look cool in front of the girl? That’s so damn annoying. I love beating up righteous idiots like you the most. People who think they get to decide what’s right and wrong!”The thug cracked his knuckles together, the sound echoing menacingly in the narrow street.The atmosphere grew heavier by the second. I could feel the tension thickening, violence practically radiating from these guys. Their eyes locked on me with pure hostility. They were ready to explode.“Again. I will ask. Who are you? Why did you call me Mio?”The girl repeated, her voice calm and detached.Shut up already!Why couldn’t she read the room? Was this girl completely clueless or just stupid?!I originally wanted to solve this peacefully, to get her out of this mess without throwing a single punch. But she wasn’t playing along. She wasn’t giving me even the tin
