Scene: Three years later, in the middle of a forest, an unknown group hideout
A slightly fat man is sitting on his chair, wearing his golden cloak.On both of his sides are women, and his body is covered with jewelries.His name is Dreyja, the leader of this criminal group.
Dreyja:After a few hours, we will have the biggest fishes of our lives!Prepare yourselves, I'm going personally with you, Guzoro!
Guzoro (Hooded man):I've already prepared the backup, just to make sure this mission will succeed.
Dreyja:Hahaha! That's why I chose you! Your planning skills are always perfect!
Guzoro (Hooded man):Thank you, boss. I am sure that man Jin is the only strong one in their group.We can easily handle them using my Silencing skill.
Dreyja:Hahaha! After this, we'll have a grand feast tonight! Hahaha!
A number of masked criminals show in front of the boss.
Scene change: In the big city, near the Luminus Territory
Inside a grand house, a long-haired short man with an angry face.The highest Clan Head, the owner and the leader of the city.
Clan Head:Those two, traveling without my permission.Even if it's only a day, dangers cannot be predicted!
Martial artist:My lord, they already sent letters and are on the way here.In a few hours, they will arrive.
Clan Head:How did Jin allow them without talking to me?!
Martial artist:I think Lord Grakky tricked him, hahaha!I know him, especially with Lady Eiri there too.
Clan Head:Monitor them from time to time, we cannot let our guard down.If you can, send some men. Night time is coming fast!
Martial artist:As you wish, my lord.
Scene change: After 1 hour, on the road near Luminus Territory
A group of carriages and horses with guards and martial artists moves along the road.Inside one carriage are two high-profile individuals:
The daughter of one of the Highest Clan Heads, the Danjurro Clan.And her older brother, a senior martial artist.
Eiri Danjurro (15 y.o.):Big brother, have you heard the news regarding this area?
Grakky Danjurro (23 y.o.):Yeah, bandits and criminals have been arrested in this territory over the past year.Only a small number were killed; most were left alive.
Grakky:I think that was the doing of the Group Wild Elements.Their secret base is in this territory, right?
Eiri:No, brother. I investigated the Job House, and no one has received any reward or money…Besides that, those Wild people have no regard for keeping criminals alive.
Grakky:That's not important, as long as they're not bad people.One thing is certain—they're helping keep our territory safe.
Grakky:Imagine doing that for a year or several months just for free?It's like a hero from a storybook. So let them be.
Grakky:In Luminus or around our territory, it's good to have good people nearby.
Eiri:But big brother, aren't you curious if they are strong?We could recruit them into our clan…
Grakky:Hmm, wow… you're using your brain a little… hahaha!
Eiri:No, what happened in Luminus left trauma for the people.So it's not a bad idea to gather strong people in our city.
Grakky:I understand you. Luminus was also close to ours.I'd say our strongest ally, but after that,Father has always been problematic…
Narration:As they are traveling on the road of the Luminus Territory, the group is waiting for them.They plan to ambush and kidnap the two important figures.
This group is called Dreyja White Moon.Martial artists who are assassins, thieves, and other criminals.They usually move at night.
But before that happens, the members of Dreyja White Moondidn't expect what was about to happen…
Dreyja Member 1:Hey, does fog usually form like this in this area?It hasn't rained in two weeks, right?And it's only 7 in the evening.
Dreyja Member 2:I don't know… maybe this place is unusual.We've been monitoring those two inside the city.
Dreyja (their leader):Reserve your energy. We'll go all out once they arrive…
Dreyja Member 3 (arriving):Boss, they'll arrive in at least 20 minutes.
Members 4 & 5 (they are hiding in the big trees):- Look! A long-haired man in the middle of the road…- Hey, do you see that? Is it a ghost?- No… it's a girl. Long-haired.
Long-haired man (talking silently):Total number, 32.Two of them are quite strong…
Member 4 (curious):Hey… he vanis… aaah!
Boom!Hit on the head, then hits on different parts.Bones are broken.
Member 5:Boss!! Enemi.. aaah!
Boom!Hit on the head going downward. He falls to the ground,then a kick hits his back (bones broken).
Dreyja:Members! There are enemies!!
Long-haired man (talking silently):5 down… 27 left…
Dreyja members:- Boss, the fog is becoming thicker, we cannot see clearly…- aaahh!!- Who's that? uuhhh!- Boss!!..
Long-haired man (talking silently):20 left…
Boom… aaghh…Boss… aaahh!
Dreyja:Hey, fools! Move to the open area… to the road!!
The remaining 15 members move into the open area of the road.
Vice Leader:Members, are you all okay?
Members (left):
- Yeah… it's safer here compared to those trees.
- Hey! It's appearing… a girl ghost?
Dreyja:Quiet! It's a man—he has a flat chest, fool!And this is some kind of skill…
Dreyja:At a time like this, we need to erase this skill.Use that skill, Guzoro.
Vice Leader, Guzoro:Show your true face…Silencing Art: Silent Field!
The thick fog becomes thin…They can almost see the field clearly.
Narration: Silencing Art — Silent Field!A skill that weakens any skill it comes into contact with.The more energy it uses, the stronger its effect.
The long-haired man appears clearly.Kyuen, 14—almost 15 years of age.
Dreyja:What? You're a kid? No… you're already a teenager…
Kyuen:I know your plan.You're unlucky to commit crimes in this territory.
Dreyja:Hahaha! Hey kid, you're misunderstanding something…You only defeated the weak ones.
Kyuen vanishes.
Dreyja:What? The Silent Field!?
Narration: Raiko's Nameless Art…Kyuen is using the third stage of the art he learned,which allows him to perfectly camouflage within the mist.
Dreyja members:- He vanished again? There's no fog anymore!- Alert everyone- Boss, I can't move…- Hey, who's holding me?!
Uhh! Bghh!!
One hit to the stomach, another kick to the head—the two near each other fall unconscious in an instant.
Dreyja:He's so fast! Guzoro? Why is he vanishing?!
Guzoro:I don't know. This skill isn't all-powerful.Unless he's using massive energy,he shouldn't be able to counter this.
Dreyja:No… there's almost no fog at all,but we still can't find him!!
Scene change: Back at Danjurro Clan Caravan
Senior Guard Disciple, Jin:My lord, I sense fighting not far from us.On the road, I can feel strong flows of energy…There are many of them fighting.
Grakky: We will check it! Eiri, stay here.Eiri: No, I'll go too! Senior Jin is with us, hmmp!Grakky: Then we'll wait here—you hard-headed girl!
Eiri:Big bro! It must be the group that hunts criminals.It's our chance to meet them!
Grakky: Then stay here, I'll go!Eiri (irritated): Rrrhh… okay!
Grakky: Jin, Jakko, Greg… come with me.Guards: Stay alert here. We'll check what's happening there.
Scene Change: Back at Greyja Moon Encounter
Dreyja members — only 4 left, leader and vice included.
Dreyja:You… shit bastard…What do you want? We don't need to kill each other!!
Kyuen:You're just unlucky. You caused trouble in this territory…
Dreyja:I don't have a choice, boy…Guzoro, sorry partner, but I'll use this…I planned to sell it, but I have no choice!Hahaha!!Abzuru Violet!! (a kind of pill)
Narration:Three years have passed. Kyuen has grown into a fine warrior.Meanwhile, the Danjurro members have learnedof the situation and are heading to the scene.Will their paths cross?And what exactly is this Abzuru Violet?
(Abzuru — a familiar word; see Episode 1.)
