Prologue
The world is always merciless, the spring breeze blowing through the changes will stir up the birth of life, and the wildfire will only leave ashes. The past can be both prosaic and exciting. The world is impermanent, and the things that are still around us at this time will disappear in the blink of an eye. The more you look forward to something, the more you don't grasp it, it will be fleeting. The same is true of life.
I used to think that when I came to this magic academy, I could spend the rest of my life quietly studying. In three years, his efforts have been recognized by many people. Originally, he would have become a casual tutor like Mr. Chongming, but at the moment when he was about to end, he encountered disaster again. Many people died, including Chongming and Gu Lie, who died while protecting the sacred relic known as the "Glory of Fortune". I was there, facing a raging enemy onslaught, and no one could stop them. And what about the holy relics, this sinful thing, has caused too many people to face disaster. In desperation, the relict was inadvertently destroyed by me, and the sound was as crisp as the glass shattering, and with the broken hole, the relict no longer had light. It was a sacred thing to give blessings to outstanding graduates, but at the end of the day, the last person to be blessed was me, who was not the best.
The energy poured into my body, and with it, there was no force at all. It's like the body has been hollowed out, just an empty shell sitting there. Suddenly, consciousness was restored, and then the enemy followed. Arno's decapitation team, teleported directly to the capital by magic, wanted to take the king's life directly, and by the way, plunder the holy relics located in the Academy of Magic. But this time, they can't say that they have failed, although they did not snatch it, but we also lost the holy relic forever. At this time, their purpose could not be achieved, and they did not want to linger longer, so they turned around and wanted to retreat. At this time, I had already taken away too much of the things that existed in the academy, and I was gradually annoyed in my heart. Running away will only make more things disappear, and I hate myself for not having the thought of wanting to take on everything. Retribution came, and after the disaster came, how high-spirited my former friends were, each with the faith in their hearts to protect, protected me as I went to the main temple. However, what is not something that can be smooth sailing with faith, and the sacrifices of my companions hit myself again and again. If only they could protect them, if only they could retreat safely, this idea became more and more heavy, but in exchange for hesitation and sluggishness. When I finally came to the main hall, I was shocked to see Mr. Chongming's belief that he would protect me even if he burned his life. That determination, as if it could break through all darkness, infected everyone in the temple. At the last moment, following the last instructions of Mr. Shigemei, I fled from the main hall with the holy relics. But in the end, the relics were not preserved.
How unwilling and annoyed I was, that such an important and simple task ended up ruined in my hands. I slowly stood up, looked at the group of Assassins in front of me, how meticulous their actions were, as if mocking the cowardly me, and hurried away.
"No, no, it's unforgivable."
The emotions in my heart finally exploded, and I couldn't let go of everything I had borne for this group of culprits. Revenge, that's the only thing I have left right now. The dark attribute magic that had been studied before bloomed like an enlightenment at this time. Darkness shrouded me, and I began to run after the Assassins, who had to make them pay for it. At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and their movements were quite slow, but they did not lose their balance at all. When I appeared, the person in the lead reacted, slowly turned his head, his expression was frightened, and he seemed to say something, and then the person who followed also slowly turned around, making a look of wanting to fight back, but it was too late. I pulled the dagger from my lap and didn't think about how to fight. "Just kill with one hit," I thought. Time has given me speed, and in my eyes they are so slow that they have no way to resist but let me slaughter. As the last one fell to the ground, I also came in front of them, looking at their corpses, and finally able to catch my breath. As the tense spirit began to relax, a sharp pain and dizziness filled the brain. I couldn't bear the feeling and finally fainted in the middle of the hallway.
It didn't take long for the cold to wake me up, and I looked at my surroundings, the cold wind blowing the cloth above my head, and the corpses on the ground and a pool of blood emitted a fishy smell. My body was still weak, but thinking about my companions on the road, I still stood up and walked towards the atrium.
Tired, sore, trance. There are many feelings, but my mission is not yet complete. Report the situation, make a final report, thinking like this, I stumbled into the atrium. But what awaits me is not the mentors, but an enemy of Arno. This man was quite surprised to see me, and probably thought he would be a member of his team. The two of us looked at each other for a moment, and then he began to speak. After learning that the relics had been destroyed and the team members were all wiped out. He didn't want to kill him, but planned to retreat directly. But I didn't intend to let him go, and took out a dagger to prepare for battle, but suddenly a feeling of dizziness hit me again, and I fell unwillingly in front of him. "Poor" was the last thing he said to me, and I collapsed to the ground, helplessly watching him disappear from the portal, but this time, no matter what, I didn't have the strength to get up again.
By the next morning, I was awakened by Genos, who was looking for me everywhere. Slowly, but indifferent to what happened yesterday. I sat still, thinking about what had happened yesterday, but I couldn't remember what I was fighting for. With the help of Genos, he staggered to his companions. Namyun disappeared, and several mentors such as Lun Huan and Gu Woo, as well as Gu Lie and Chongming, died. Lun Huan and Gu Yu, who used to live together in the academy, and the beloved teacher Chongming, died, and the classmates couldn't help but cry when they talked about it. After yesterday's incident, my thoughts gradually became a little confused, although I was a witness to the death of all three of them, but at this time, I could not be sad in any way. Then, as the archmage gathered, the remaining survivors of the academy gradually made their way to the vestibule. As the archmage's magic gathered, the ruined building gradually reassembled and reverted back to its original appearance, except for a few more blackened marks and blood. Subsequently, the Archmage rearranged the students who had not graduated and resumed their studies; and to move us home, and we will be given a choice of arrangements in the future. This may be the best outcome for our graduates.
After that, I walked through the portal and went straight to Ao Rui. However, when I arrived, it was not the castle I remembered, but in a large tent. Ao Rui looked at me in surprise, he didn't expect me to come back so early, and then told me the real situation. It turned out that when he sent me to the Academy of Magic, he turned around and started a war against Arno, and for three years, he had been fighting, and Willover was captured half a year ago. However, Ao Rui didn't seem to know about the beheading incident that happened the day before, and after informing Ao Rui, the herald of the kingdom came. Told that the king was still alive and would now use all his national strength to counterattack, Ao Rui seemed relieved. Then they started asking me what I was going to do after that. Ao Rui planned to make me his lieutenant and assist him, but I noticed something, why was Suiya, who usually assisted Ao Rui, not there. At this time, I was told that Suiya had entered the enemy country to lurk, and now the news is unknown, and it is suspected that he has been sacrificed. The impact is really one after another, so many people died the day before, and the situation is even more serious here.
After thinking about it, I rejected Ao Rui, and now I realized that I had a more important mission that suited me. Ao Rui also expressed his understanding, after all, I am no longer the same as at the beginning, and after three years of growth, it is time to start to sprout.
After asking Ao Rui for some equipment, I stepped out of the tent and headed in the direction of the enemy......
