When Kyran turned 18, his life turned upside down. The Royal Army raided his clan because his supposedly non-existent magic got exposed. On that fateful night, he was the only one who escaped. Up to the present, the status of his clan was unknown. A magic inheritance that became a curse, Kyran became a fugitive. Always on the run... living in fear when the Royal Army finally captures him. At least that's what most people thought... "I'll definitely save my family. And I will make all those who made my clan suffer pay tenfold. I'll make use of this magic they so feared, and show them what real terror is...." Disclaimer: The cover image isn't mine. I'll replace it when I finished mine.
"Hamish, you'll do the mock battle," Kyran decided during the ten minutes break before the start of the second phase of the competition.
The three of them were told to wait where Noir and Vaness were staying and they were currently discussing their strategy for the mock battle.
"Hamish?" Noir repeated looking at Kyran in surprise.
Hamish, on the other hand, was not surprised and instead said, "I will do my best."
Noir opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it after realizing what he wanted to say was inappropriate.
He initially wanted to ask Kyran why he would let Hamish do the mock battle when having him go was the better choice. But Kyran was not really part of the Blacksmith Order or even the Conclave. Letting him always take the role of the vanguard in their lineup was not right.
It was as if they were running him down and were taking advantage of him.
