Arriving at Hifung's house.
Hifung: I'm home.
Mr. Hifung appeared and noticed Hifung looking exhausted.
Mr. Hifung: What's wrong with you?
Hifung: It's nothing, I was just training at the academy.
Mr. Hifung: Oh, sword training tomorrow, right?
Hifung: Yes.
Hifung took a shower and went to the dining room.
Hifung: Sir.
Mr. Hifung: Yes?
Hifung: Today at the academy, I learned how to channel aura into weapons. After using aura in weapons, what else should I train to improve my swordsmanship?
Mr. Hifung: You should balance your magic skills with your swordsmanship because weapons can also be infused with magic to increase their destructive power. So, you need to learn magic.
Hifung: Oh, okay.
Hifung (thinking): "Magic, huh? Seems like Ray is quite good at it."
The next morning.
Hifung: I'm heading out.
Hifung left the house and went to the academy.
Arriving at the academy, he entered the classroom.
Hifung: It's still quiet.
Hifung (thinking): "Infusing magic into weapons, huh?"
(He held his sword)
Ray entered the classroom.
Ray: You came early too.
Hifung: Good morning.
Ray: Good morning.
Hifung: Ray, can you infuse magic into your sword?
Ray: Infuse magic into weapons? I can't do that yet.
Hifung: Oh, okay.
During break time, Hifung was walking behind the academy, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a group of bullies appeared. The leader of the group was Ziden, the son of the commander of the Milty kingdom.
Ziden: Hey, give me all your money!
Hifung: I don't have any money.
Ziden and his group kept pressuring him.
Hifung drew his sword from its sheath and tried to slash.
Ziden and his group jumped back.
Ziden's group: Hey hey, are you serious?
Ziden stepped forward a little and drew his sword.
Ziden: Seems like you prefer to talk with violence.
Hifung (thinking): "This is bad, it doesn't look like this will end peacefully."
Hifung infused his sword with red aura.
Ziden advanced, Hifung tried to slash him, but Ziden blocked every attack, so Hifung jumped backward.
Suddenly, Ziden was behind him and kicked him forward.
Hifung: Argh.
Ziden's group: Hahaha, so weak.
Ziden: Give up, leave all your money here, and I'll let you go.
Hifung: I don't have any money. (breathing heavily)
Ziden looked displeased, then lifted Hifung and threw him.
Ziden approached again, but suddenly a female student named Micyl appeared.
Micyl pointed her sword at Ziden.
Micyl: Picking on someone weaker, what a coward.
Ziden: You're brave, Micyl. (a bit annoyed)
Ziden: I won't hold back even if I fight a woman like you.
Micyl: I won't lose to a man like you either.
Annoyed, Ziden dashed toward Micyl and tried to slash, but Micyl blocked it.
Ziden then infused aura into his sword, but Micyl infused fire magic into her sword, making Ziden's hand burn, forcing him to jump back.
Micyl made fire magic in her right hand, then jumped and used wind magic to leap in the air. From above, she threw a fire magic blast called Fire Blast.
Micyl: Fire Blast!!
Her magic flew towards Ziden, who countered with water magic.
Ziden: Water Razon!!
Ziden's magic formed a water burst resembling Micyl's Fire Blast.
Before the two magics collided, teacher Vlyn suddenly appeared and stopped the attacks.
Vlyn: Stop!
Ziden and Micyl ended their attacks.
Vlyn struggled to contain both attacks because they were equally strong.
Ziden's group fled seeing Vlyn.
Vlyn: What is going on here?!
Micyl: Ziden was bullying a weaker student, ma'am.
Ziden: I didn't do anything, ma'am. Micyl suddenly attacked me.
Ziden lied to avoid blame, confusing Vlyn.
Hifung: Ma'am, Micyl isn't at fault. She protected me when I was bothered by Ziden.
Vlyn: I see. However, using magic on school grounds without permission and outside of lessons is not allowed.
In the end, Ziden and his group were punished to sweep the entire academy, while Micyl was punished to clean the fields and gardens at the academy when leaving.
Ziden: This is all because of that loser.
Ziden's group: Right, next time we must get back at him.
Meanwhile, Hifung helped Micyl clean the garden.
Micyl: You don't need to help me.
Hifung: But you were punished because you helped me.
Micyl: So, what else do you want that makes you want to help me clean the garden?
Hifung: Hmph?
Micyl: If it's just because you got punished for helping me, you only need to apologize.
Hifung: No, I'm helping you because you willingly helped me!
Micyl: Ohh. (hesitant)
Hifung blushed as he looked at Micyl.
Finally, they continued cleaning the garden and fields at the academy together.
Arriving home, Hifung met his father to practice sword techniques.
The next day at the academy, suddenly Micyl entered Hifung's classroom.
Many male students were immediately captivated by Micyl's beauty.
Many female students asked Micyl why she was in this class.
Micyl told the female students who asked.
Micyl: I was transferred here because I had problems with students in my previous class.
Hifung (thinking): "Maybe she was transferred here because she's still fighting with Ziden in her old class."
Ray (whispering): Fung, she's pretty, isn't she?
Hifung blushed.
Ray: Your face is red.
Hifung: Hah, n-no.
Throughout the lesson, Hifung kept watching Micyl.
Ray occasionally glanced at Hifung who was paying attention to Micyl.
During break, Vlyn watched Hifung practicing magic and sword skills in the back field.
Elsewhere, Ziden and his group planned to bother Hifung, but seeing Vlyn watching, they gave up.
During class.
Vlyn: In four days, we will hold a sparring event with an academy from the Hakao kingdom, representing the Milty kingdom.
Vlyn: Those who want to join the sparring match, register at the teacher's room tomorrow.
Vlyn: Since this event is sudden, there will be no lessons until the match day.
All students were surprised.
Hifung (thinking): "There are still four days left to train."
Hifung (thinking): "I want to join that match. Maybe I can meet strong people from the kingdom to help me become stronger."
When going home, in Hifung's class.
Hifung: Ray, are you j
oining the match?
Ray: Me? I think I will.
Ray: I want to try fighting strong people so I can learn battle tactics from great fighters. (enthusiastic)
Ray: I'm going first.
Hifung: Okay, see you tomorrow Ray.
