Visit To An Old Friend

Upon reaching the villain headquarters, I attempt to sense the location of the menacing beast, but his overwhelming presence emanates from every corner. This is one of the reasons why humans and monsters alike steer clear of the villain organization HQ.

The villain exudes a terrifying presence and bloodlust that far surpasses that of most SSS rank beasts. It would be unwise for me to walk in unprepared.

However, I smile as I come up with a better plan. I open a rift directly to Chester's domain. As expected, he sends two lightning dragons through the space rift as a warning. Recognizing that I am responsible for the sudden space rift to his domain, I direct the dragons to each angle of the villain HQ.

As the lightning dragons advance towards the villain HQ, a blonde figure stands in front of the terrifying attack, serving as a warning to not step into his territory.

The two lightning dragons are halted by the sudden appearance of the figure, who asks, "You never change, do you?" - Donovan

Nelson smiles and begins to respond, "I came to vis..." but is interrupted as a powerful punch lands on his face, sending him flying. In that moment, space opens up and he is sent into the rift.

Behind Donovan stands Nelson, emerging from the rift he just tore open. "Are you finally calm now?" Nelson asks, seemingly unaffected.

Donovan presses, "I asked you a question, Nelson. You are the only one capable of coming to each symbolic's territory without permission and causing such a ruckus."

Nelson retorts, "Oh please, compared to the chaos caused by the organization you call home, this is nothing. But do you think it was a good idea to let them keep threatening the world they intend to protect?"

Donovan persists, "I asked again, Nelson, what brought you here?"

Realizing his question was foolish, Nelson changes the topic. "I came to inform you that we symbolics will be having a meeting in twelve days at my domain. Be prepared," I said before opening a portal and preparing to leave.

"Have you informed the others?" Donovan asked.

"Yeah, I have," I replied.

"Okay, I will be there," Donovan said before disappearing into the red mist.

In shock, Nelson wonders, "Did he agree to come to the meeting just like that?" before walking into the portal he created, leaving the villain HQ.

{Duprised Academy}

As usual, there is great excitement among the students who have enrolled in the academy. Among them are a few exceptional individuals who are considered geniuses among their peers.

Waiting in the hall are the many students and within are the representatives of each major family and great clan.

The head instructor and two other teachers appear, and all eyes are fixed on them. The head instructor, an S-rank ability user named Palivon, possesses Earth ability (A++ rank) and physique (S+ rank), making him one of the few S-rank ability users.

While evaluating the students' potential with a device invented to check one's ability and physique prowess, the head instructor takes note of a few new students who catch his attention:

- Roy (Rank F) - Shadow Ability (B+ rank), physique

(A+ rank)

- Jasmine (Rank F) - Wind Ability (A- rank), physique

(C- rank)

- Steph (Rank F) - Lightning Ability (A+ rank), physique

(B+ rank)

- Devine (Rank F) - Ice Ability (B- rank), physique

(C+ rank)

- Diane (Rank F) - Fire Ability (C+ rank), physique

(A++ rank)

- Klaus (Rank F) - Gravity Ability (A+ rank), physique

(A+ rank)

These students are not part of the major families, clans, or organizations. Their abilities will draw the attention of the representatives from each faction, either to recruit or remove them.

As the head instructor speculates, there is already murderous intent directed at them by some of the special representatives who recognize their value, as well as some representatives with hidden intentions masked by their expressions.

Two of the students attract the head instructor's attention as a mystery: Quinn (Rank D) with unknown ability and S+ rank physique ability, and Imma (Rank D) with unknown ability and S- rank physique

ability. Both of them stand there, unperturbed by others, with their eyes fixated only on the head instructor.

The head instructor, Palivon, observes, "They have high and amazing abilities. Currently, they are all F rank, except for those two who are D rank. By the time they reach B to A rank, they would be forces to be wary of, assuming they could make it that far. Interesting," the head instructor says, smiling.
