Three years ago...
"I've beaten you again, Allen. This is your fifty-seventh defeat."
Two young boys were fighting each other with swords.
Of course, they were both from the Kalyan family: Kalyan Levi and Kalyan Allen.
Levi was two years older than Allen, but his swordsmanship skills were far superior.
Because the difference in skill levels was enormous—like Maria, Levi was an A-level swordsman, while Allen was at the familiar F-level. After Levi defeated Allen, he offered him his arm and said,
"Don't worry, Allen. This is all for your own good."
After saying this, Allen became angry and broke his wooden sword.
Because in every encounter, Levi had always won against Allen.
Always loss after loss for Allen.
Loss after loss, to the point that it had created a complex in young Allen,
who had become afraid of Levi.
But now...
"Little brother, I'm sorry." "To let you go to a cell with a bunch of incompetent people..."
The person who seemed to be Allen's Achilles' heel, the one who trembled when he entered his room, was hugging him, terrified of losing him.
Then Allen pulled away and said,
"What's wrong, Levi?" Allen asked, his gaze fixed on Levi, who looked back at him with tenderness and affection.
After Allen said this, Levi's expression gradually changed. He looked at Allen and said,
"Actually, Allen, the master asked me to see you after hearing about your injury in the maze, but you seem to be doing very well."
For Levi had seen that his younger brother's body, which he had heard was injured, was not only unharmed but even stronger than before.
Therefore, a very happy smile spread across Levi's face.
His younger brother was perfectly healthy, without any scratches or injuries that might end his journey.
Then he looked at Alya and said to her,
"Maria is watching you, Alya. You still have some training to do."
After Levi said these words, Alya remembered her lesson with Maria, then she bowed gently and said,
"Don't worry, Allen, I'll be back. And thank you, Master Levi."
After saying these words...
He ran!!!
He ran!!!
Alya sprinted towards the training hall.
Because Maria's training was incredibly strict, and she didn't tolerate any laziness, lethargy, or lateness.
"Haha, that's Maria for you. It's really good that she's strict," Levi said, laughing.
Then he turned to Allen and said,
"We have a lot of things you need to tell me about your adventure, but we need to have a very light duel."
"A duel?!"
After Levi said this, Allen was shocked by Levi's sudden words.
But...
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Do you want the master to kill me? Of course, the duel will be in a week. That's what the master ordered me to do."
Then he took out a card for the duel next week.
It read:
"The master of the Kalin family has approved a duel between the two rising stars, Levi and Allen."
But after seeing this, Allen immediately frowned.
Because he knew he was the family's trash and that this title was used to mock him.
Anyway, he had no reason to refuse since it was the head of the family.
So let him take a few beatings and then go back to his room to rest.
"Don't worry, little brother, I'll be gentler with you," Levi said, and left the room, locking the door behind him.
After Levi left the room,
*Throw!!!*
"Damn that bastard!!!!"
Allen threw down the pillow and cursed under his breath.
He knew Levi had done it on purpose to humiliate him in front of the family.
But there was no way around it, so Allen lay down, trying to fall asleep.
Meanwhile, a spirit watched, laughing.
Of course, it was the spirit of the Demon King, Deimos.
Inside a large hall,
A blow!
After a very hard blow, Alya fell to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.
"Ouch!" Alya let out that sound.
And the girl who had hit her, giving her a sharp look, was, of course, Allen's older sister, maria
