Back in the pre-dawn hours of Operation Sun Dog...
Ravyn's gray aura-encased arm pierced through Undre's gut, sinking in with an unsettling squelch. Black blood gushed from the white-haired murderer's abdomen, making the purple-haired girl feel nauseated at the gruesome sight before her.
"I've got a story for you. There once was a good-for-nothing man. No matter what he did, nothing seemed to work out, and everyone looked down on him. One day he met a beautiful witch. She gave him a crystal of happiness. It was both bright and warm. Since that day, his world had completely changed. From a good-for-nothing man to a good-for-nothing man who is happy and wants to get better. But then one day that witch appeared again and wrenched the crystal of happiness from his grasp and crushed it to smithereens. The joy that the man had experienced was gone, forever. The good-for-nothing man became helpless and unhappy, always wondering why the witch had to
The pervert's followers were careless because they didn't think a mere kid would dare to mess with their boss. They were about to pull out their guns to protect the boss, but when they heard the name of the Resia family, those who were good at using their power to oppress helpless people ran away pitifully with their tails between their legs.*Boink*"This precocious kid, what would you do if you got hurt? You really are..."She tapped Cemal's head with her knuckles, then composed herself before gripping the collar of his shirt."Anyway, I'm glad to see you're safe."Cemal closed his eyes, expecting something exciting, but nothing steamy happened."And what am I going to do with it?"Cemal responded. Upon opening his eyes and seeing the yellow-orange clip on the collar of his shirt, the boy felt so embarrassed that his face turned a deep
"Uh... Zamonte doubles down! Lavender takes the victory!"The commentator, along with the audience and Cemal, fell into stunned silence at the sudden turn of events. However, a few seconds later, cheers erupted throughout the stadium."Well, it seems I've lost. But I haven't given up just yet. I'll never give up on asking for your number."Cemal swiftly retrieved his Reiki crystal and examined it for any signs of damage. Relieved to find it unharmed, he hurriedly returned it to its box."By the way, that hair clip looks surprisingly similar to mine. Don't tell me..."Ravyn also noticed the resemblance between her own hair clip and the one Cemal had....That's it. A hunch from my decade of experience with girls is telling me. You and An probably share...Cemal's excitement surged as if his heart had skipped a beat."Yo
There was a quiz contest for superfans, offering Airburst prizes, which Ravyn attempted to answer silently in her mind. She soon realized that there were some tidbits of knowledge, only interesting to enthusiasts, that she didn't know, and she answered incorrectly more than half the time.Meanwhile, the arena in the center of the stadium had been transformed into a booth where people could queue to try out Airteches set at the lowest firepower level on inflatable mattresses on the floor. Ravyn decided to go watch Kanji and Pierret play, cheering them on. She participated in various activities until there was only one hour left. Ravyn, resting in the reserved seat next to Pierret, decided to return to her contestant accommodation room. It was at that moment when the lights in the entire stadium went out."For those of you enjoying this night, let me hear you make some noise!" *SCREAM*...The commentator ignited the crowd'
At that very moment, the audience erupted in cheers as the announcer officially signaled the beginning of the battle. While the aerial platform descended to be concealed beneath the arena floor, Angus propelled himself into the air with a powerful kick. Ravyn, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed and allowed gravity to guide her descent. In her mind, the recent conversation with Idorund replayed.…"Holding a position in Airburst grants that individual the authority to participate in meetings that influence even regional laws. With the organization's power and our widespread support, it's safe to say they wield power akin to that of a city's mayor. Now, imagine the chaos if an Airburst were to employ their full might against Themeise, a city deeply entrenched in shadows. If Angus were to resort to the extreme measures he employed during his regency in Aelsala, it could spark a civil war in Themeise. It's simply not worth the troubl
...It's over...Ravyn sat in mournful silence in front of the intricate white coffin. No matter how beautifully the flowers were arranged on top of the lid or how beautiful the hymn prayers of the saints were, it didn't help anyone at the event feel joyous. The passing of Jamie Lysander, the proud father of two children, a beloved husband, and the hero who sacrificed the honor of Airburst as 'Falcon,' cast a somber shadow over the gathering."I owe him my life.""That was the path he chose, and I respect his decision. I can't be angry at anyone, but I'm saddened. At least he was able to fulfill his duties. Thank you for surviving to tell his story."The girl with purple hair saluted and recounted the details of Operation Sun Dog to Falcon's wife in a comprehensive manner. Through this, Ravyn discovered that his wife was an incredibly resilient individual, a fact well-known to the woman herself. She h
A few weeks had passed...Gentle surveyed the tables and chairs that had been recently upholstered in his sandwich shop. They were all occupied by delighted customers, and a sense of pride gleamed in his eyes. Pierret, having just served water to a nearby table, approached Gentle, standing in front of the counter."Dad, there are still orders pending for two more tables."She placed the order slips on the counter and smiled as Gentle started crafting sandwiches, completely engrossed in his work. Daily life continues as usual, but now, Donkey's name has vanished. People needed time to adjust to the absence of the outlaw mafia that had a long-standing presence in Themeise. They still haven't grown accustomed to not fearing for their lives or facing harm if they happen to displease the city's powerful figures. Nevertheless, with the removal of this source of fear and dominance in the city, ambitious individuals were eager t

After the captivating music performance on a stage that is three times wide than the herbal store where she lives, the result of this overwhelmingly popular new artist selection contest ended with Ravyn as the winner of this show. A girl with dark purple hair that was almost black even in the spotlight pondered with a throbbing heart. …This is the moment I've always been waiting for. The cheers and applause from the audience acclaim as if to thank me for my efforts. It's so touching that it hurts my heart. And above all, I hope you're watching me right now… ###### "That kid, she's done it again!" Pim's slightly hoarse, middle-aged woman's voice exclaimed from the front of the TV in a small herbal shop down the alley. Her gaze was fixed on the girl who won the music competition on TV with sparkling eyes. ###### Soon, Ravyn has now arrived at the front of Pim's store booth. The girl takes a deep breath to chase off her nervousness before sliding the door open. "Did you watch the

*SLASH*… *Crash!*The force of the sword's swing sent Gabrielle hurtling through the air, and she collided with the far side of the arena wall."No... It can't be true."Her voice trembled with a mix of denial and disbelief, refusing to accept what she had just heard."It is true. My father's crimes are a dark stain on history, and I cannot erase them."Mirozlav approached Gabrielle, his steps measured. The audiences who shared the same homeland were left in a state of shock by the unexpected confession."What do you want from me? Why are you telling me this now?"Gabrielle's emotions were a whirlwind of conflicting feelings. The revelation stirred up memories she would have preferred to keep buried, and a silver aura enveloped her compressed air saber as her grip tightened.*Clang!*The cl
