The sun was coming up in Red Lightning City, but today, like any other day, people weren't watching the sunrise because Kai was badly injured.

This party in Red Lightning City was really just for the Legends, but a lot of people didn't think it was a party; it was a show.Kai's fighting power was at the Purple Lightning Center, and in that aspect, the Red Lightning Academy had already won the tournament. That's why, during the whole party, the Red Lightning Academy's Developmentalists had been making fun of other people.

Now Kai was injured and unconscious, and no one knew when he would wake up.Jace and Lena were Kings, and they had attacked using their King abilities.Kai had suddenly appeared in front of them with Black Heart Lightning and stopped their attack.Even in a normal fight, Kai couldn't fight them. It was nothing short of a miracle that he didn't die after such a massive attack.

There were actually many reasons why Kai survived. His incredible progress on the Heart Path, his Ultimate Heart Mode, and most importantly, his recent experiences with Emma. After spending so much time with Emma, Kai had an incredible healing speed. That's why he jumped straight into the middle of the two Monsters. He was confident he would survive.

But he was still wrong. Jace and Lena's power was at the peak of the Purple Lightning Midpoint!!!

Kai couldn't reach their level.

"We should go now, Alan. Thanks for everything."

Ramas and many Legendary Leaders were in a hurry. They had many friends and they knew without seeing Kai how badly he was hurt. What they needed to do was to hurry up and get stronger quickly. If they had any hope of winning, all the academies would have to unite and wipe out Red Lightning Academy from the tournament.

Kai wasn't the only one who made them so confident. Lena and Jace's injuries also helped. They'd both been in a big fight and weren't fully recovered yet.Lena was doing better than the other two because she was less injured than Kai and was healing faster than Jace.But she'd also used up all the energy she'd collected in her ring, so she wasn't as strong as she'd been during her fight with Jace. And the use of the Pure Healing King's body had also done him a great deal of damage.

Still, the people were glad that they still had a chance to win, and so they quickly returned to their city to get stronger.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and Jack appeared in front of the 3 Legends. His gaze was sharp and meaningful.The 3 Legends had definitely heard of him, and they weren't taking him lightly. Here was the Misty Thief of the new generation.

Jack drew his sword. Jack's drawing his sword made these 3 tense up. They were sure that they could defeat Jack, but they knew that they would be seriously injured again. They were sure that if Kevin came after Jack, they would definitely be killed by this duo.

But contrary to their expectations, Jack drew his sword and walked past them and the 3 Legends didn't even notice. They were so surprised that they didn't even notice Jack walking past them.

"The day you came for Kai..."

"I'm gonna rip your head off..."

Meanwhile, in a white room, a blond-haired youth was lying on a bed. His eyes were closed, and he was breathing so hard that anyone who hadn't switched to Purple Lightning would have thought he was dead. But Emma, sitting by his bedside, knew he was alive. She didn't need anyone to tell her that. She was sure of it anyway.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Kai had a quilt over him, but you could still see the cuts and bruises he had suffered. There were cracks on his face, but he was doing better now. After that intense battle, Jace had passed out, and Lena had used her remaining energy to keep Kai alive, although it wasn't long before she, too, slipped into a coma.

Now, Kevin was standing guard outside the door, ready to protect Kai at all costs. If anyone tried to harm Kai, Kevin was determined to do whatever it took to ensure his safety.

Meanwhile, Emma was inside, tending to Kai's other needs with care and compassion. She was like a nurse, a constant source of support and comfort.

But Emma was always prepared for any challenge. If anyone tried to break in, she would defend herself with all her might.

The months went by, and with each passing day, Kai's recovery continued. Two and a half years had passed since the start of the World Tournament, and now, at the Red Lightning Academy, everything was as calm as could be.

But Aserah had other plans!

Aserah was moving calmly, but he was now very close to the 520th House.

At that moment, Aserah turned at a speed that no one could see him, and after making sure that no one was around, he went behind a wall and started to watch the house.

After a while, Lily came out of the house.

Aserah took a step forward, looking a bit upset. He was about to go to Lily when, suddenly, a mountain collapsed on top of him!

Aserah looked up, surprised, and saw Michael's face, which looked a bit scary.

"I-"

"We agreed that you would never use the Art of Possession again, Aserah!"

Before Aserah could say anything, Michael grabbed Aserah by the scruff of the neck, and with unimaginable speed, he reached Aserah's house.

Michael threw Aserah to the ground, but Aserah spun in mid-air and landed neatly on the ground.

"I know you've used this before, Aserah. I told you not to use this art."

Despite Michael's words, Aserah laughed and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Come on, master. It should be okay for me to have a little fun."

"But your fun comes with serious problems, Aserah! I won't allow it!After today, you will not step out of your territory for two years."

"I'm not your son, Master! You can't treat me like one!"

As angry as Aserah was, he could not stand up to Michael. But he had to stop him punishing himself.

"You tell me not to use this art, but you created this art!!!"

"It doesn't matter, Aserah. You don't have to make my mistake."

Michael turned around and started moving forward.

"Do you remember the day we met?"

Michael stopped at that word because he remembered.

"Maybe you've gotten better, Michael, but I'm still that womanizer.And I will never change."

Aserah was talking but Michael didn't listen to him anymore and kept moving forward.It seemed that Aserah was still a child and never grew up. It would be good if he could straighten up after this punishment.

"Where are you going?!"

Michael didn't want to answer any more, but he could feel the wind in his face and knew he had to be a little more talkative.Aserah would only get worse if he didn't answer any longer.Michael knew him.Maybe telling him a little of his life would help Aserah.So he stopped and began to speak.

"You know, I said the same thing years ago. I was never going to change."

"Then life got angry with me and gave me a child."

"I didn't want to love that child, but his mother had died, and I was happier and happier to see him.

"We rode the swings and went to the parks together. We watched movies and ate chocolates together. When her teeth rotted, I fixed them, and we went back to not eating chocolates.The fact that she called me dad was probably the happiest thing in my life."

"I had changed."

"As much as I should have denied it, I didn't. I loved her, I didn't. I loved her with all my heart, and it was so nice to live with her like a normal person. We had a lot of fun together, and she was very talented, even if she rarely developed."

Michael couldn't stop his voice from trembling as he spoke his last words, and tears fell from his eyes and dripped onto the ground. He clenched his fist so hard that it almost broke.

"But I couldn't protect her... "

"When the time comes, I will definitely take Era out and destroy him, and finally my daughter and I will return to our happy days together."

Even Aserah was at a loss for words when he heard about Michael's dream and his life.Michael turned his head and looked at Aserah with reddened eyes.

"So you're going to change."

"But I don't know by whom."

Michael didn't wait any longer and took one step at a time. He was getting farther, but before he got very far, he stopped once more.Michael lifted his head and let the wind blow in his face. He seemed to smell the wind as it blew across his face.

"You don't have much time to correct your childish behavior, Aserah. I feel it. There is danger and with it a...young girl..."

"I smell my daughter."
