When Kaine first healed Sien, Sien thought it was a great opportunity.
No matter how strong Kaine was, he had physical limitations.
But,
“Cough!”
Kaine rcilessly beat Sien, as if his thoughts were aningless.
At the sa ti, Sien coughed and made strange noises.
“I… Because of you, I suffered so much! Do you know how much I suffered because of you? Last year, I was stabbed in the stomach! And the people around treated like a maniac, even though I didn’t do anything wrong! Tell , why did I have to be treated like a maniac?”
“No, it’s because of you… Cough!”
“Shut up, you bastard!”
Kaine didn’t let Sien finish his sentence.
Sien was being beaten up, looking aggrieved, while the female alliance watched from the sidelines.
“I can’t believe I feel sorry for this thug.”
“I agree, Skaya.”
“I agree.”
The female alliance watched Sien getting beaten up with a disgusted expression.
It was understandable that they felt this way, as Sien had been getting beaten up for about an hour.
“Hmm… How is he still conscious after getting beaten up like that?”
“That’s not the case.”
Mira shook her head at Skaya’s words.
Then, she continued,
“He injects power into his body to wake up when he’s about to faint. That’s why he seems to be conscious.”
“Hmm… He’s really annoying.”
Skaya shook her head with a disgusted expression.
At that mont,
“Wait a minute!”
Sien, with a swollen face, shouted desperately.
Kaine scoffed at Sien.
“There’s no ti for breaks during a fight, you bastard.”
“No, wait… Cough!”
After that, Sien was beaten up for another 30 minutes before the fight finally ended.
.
.
.
Origin had been watching the fight between Kaine and Sien from the beginning.
“Hmm… What’s going on?”
Origin was deep in thought, with a complex expression on her face.
‘Last year, he was stabbed in the stomach?’
Sothing was strange.
Origin had been watching Kaine for a year, but she hadn’t seen him get stabbed in the stomach last year.
‘Did it happen before I started watching him?’
But that also felt strange.
Origin had been watching Kaine since Kim Soo-yong destroyed the Shadow Guild last year.
And that day, Fate had seen Kaine’s naked body… well, his whole body.
But,
‘There was no trace of a stab wound.’
At that ti, Kaine didn’t have the Cross of Holiness, nor had he made a contract with Karin.
So, it was impossible for there to be no trace of the wound without an elixir.
‘What’s going on? I feel like I’m missing sothing.’
Origin closed her eyes and thought deeply.
“Wait a minute…”
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Origin ‘s mind.
She opened her eyes wide and stared at Kaine.
“…”
Origin knew that what she was thinking was impossible.
But,
‘If he could turn back ti…’
Recently, Kaine’s actions made sense.
At first, he acted as if he could see the future, but lately, there was no sign of that.
‘…But where did he get such power?’
Turning back ti was sothing only the Goddess of Dinsions could do.
It was an overwhelming power that no mortal could possess.
Origin narrowed her eyes and scanned Kaine, feeling suspicious.
‘…Kaine does seem to have sothing in common with the Goddess of Dinsions.’
Of course, it was just a similar atmosphere.
There was nothing else that was the sa.
So, it was too early to be sure that Kaine could turn back ti.
‘But I’m not as excited as I thought I would be.’
In the past, if Origin had discovered that Kaine had the power to turn back ti, she would have made a big fuss.
But, contrary to expectations, Origin was surprisingly calm.
Her heart was pounding, but that was nothing new.
‘It’s been like this since the beginning…’
Origin closed her eyes and thought.
Then, she ca to a conclusion.
‘Well, I guess I’m not sure because I don’t have enough evidence.’
In reality, it was more likely that Kaine was just excited and talking nonsense, as he often did.
‘Yeah, that must be it.’
Origin thought to herself and looked at Kaine on the screen with loving eyes, as usual.
She didn’t realize that she had changed since the beginning.
.
.
.
The next day,
Lunch was as peaceful as always.
It was so peaceful that they didn’t even need to get up to get their food.
‘Yes, this kind of peace is great.’
Kaine nodded, satisfied with the peaceful daily life.
At that mont,
“Ke, Kein-nim, here’s the ran you ordered.”
Sien brought the ran, stuttering.
Kaine turned his head.
At the sa ti,
‘Hmm… This bastard didn’t bring the side dishes.’
Kaine frowned.
It was fine that Sien brought the ran, but where were the kimchi and pickled radish?
“Hey.”
“Yes!”
Sien straightened his back like a newly recruited soldier at Kaine’s call.
Kaine glared at Sien and asked,
“Why didn’t you bring the kimchi and pickled radish? Did you not get beaten up enough yesterday?”
“Ah, that…”
Sien scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
Kaine smiled and patted Sien’s shoulder.
“Go and get them.”
“Yes, I’ll be right back!”
Sien nodded vigorously and ran off.
Lisanna, who was sitting at the sa table, laughed.
“You seem to have done this before.”
“Well, of course, I’m a noble, so I know how to do this.”
Kaine shrugged, but Willy, who was sitting next to him, added,
“To be precise, you learned how to do this during your maniac days.”
“…”
Kaine was taken aback by Willy’s bluntness.
He wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find the words to respond.
Then,
“If I think back to that ti…”
“But now it’s different, right? There’s nothing to worry about anymore, right?”
“If Kaine turns back into a maniac, I think it’s ti for a nice boat ride.”
At that mont, Skaya, Eileen, and Jenny joined in, and Jenny’s last words hit hard.
‘Where does she learn these words?’
Kaine was surprised, but Lisanna, with food in her mouth, tilted her head in confusion.
“Were you really that much of a maniac?”
“Yes, He was a real maniac among maniacs, my brother.”
“I can’t argue with my sister-in-law.”
“Kaine was a real maniac back then.”
“I think everyone at the Academy knew about it.”
…Why do they get along so well at tis like this?
Of course, it wasn’t bad, but it felt like their unity was twice as strong as usual.
“Hmm… I can’t imagine it.”
Lisanna, with sauce on her mouth, tried to imagine it.
Then, she pouted and said,
“Honey, wipe the rice off my mouth.”
“I’ll do it for you.”
Eileen, who had noticed Lisanna’s intentions, took out a handkerchief and wiped Lisanna’s mouth vigorously.
“Ouch!”
“Be careful, Lisanna.”
Eileen smiled nacingly, but Kaine ignored her.
Kaine waited for Sien to return, and,
“I’m back, Kaine-nim.”
Sien returned and placed the kimchi and pickled radish on the table.
Kaine looked at Sien’s awkward expression and the water he brought.
‘…This bastard is up to sothing.’
If Sien had been in the military, he would have done this before.
He would have spit in his superior’s coffee or water.
Of course, this situation wasn’t the sa as the military.
‘This bastard must have done sothing.’
Even though Kaine had asked him to do it, Sien’s personality wouldn’t allow him to do it honestly.
So, Kaine said,
“Hey.”
“Yes!”
“Try drinking this.”
Kaine tested Sien’s character.
‘Would he really do sothing like that? Even if he did, I asked him to do it.’
“…”
“…”
However, only cold silence filled the room.
Sien didn’t even drink the water he brought.
Kaine looked at Sien, who had betrayed his expectations, and said slowly,
“It seems like you didn’t get enough education yesterday.”
“I’m sorry!”
That day, Kaine showed Sien the hazing he had learned in the military.
It wasn’t to take revenge on the girls for beating him up.
Well, at least that’s what Kaine told himself.
.
.
.
After finishing his daily routine, Sien walked towards a back alley where no one was around.
He arrived at his destination and cursed,
“Damn it, how did I end up like this?”
If everything had gone according to plan, Kaine would be his bread shuttle by now.
But, contrary to expectations, the opposite had happened.
‘How did he get so strong in just one year?’
No matter how much Sien thought about it, he couldn’t understand.
Unless Kaine had been as strong as Eileen and Skaya from the beginning, which wasn’t the case.
‘He must have done sothing, like taking drugs.’
Otherwise, it didn’t make sense.
Sien denied reality as he walked through the back alley.
“…”
“…”
The surroundings beca too quiet.
Sien felt sothing strange and looked around.
‘What’s going on? Why is there no one around?’
Although this alley was usually quiet, it wasn’t this cold.
It didn’t make sense for the capital to be this quiet.
Sien felt anxious in this sudden situation and,
-Footsteps.
He heard soone walking towards him.
Sien broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed hard.
Then,
“Hello, I’m Jade, a cult official.”
At that mont, Jade introduced himself with a gentlemanly attitude.
Sien’s eyes widened at Jade’s introduction.
‘What? The cult?’
The cult was the group that had been terrorizing various places recently.
Sien was shocked that a cult official had co to him.
He was terrified and muttered,
“Are you here to kill …?”
“Hmm? No, it’s a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Sien tilted his head in confusion.
Then, Jade smiled suspiciously and said,
“I’m offering you an invitation.”
“What?”
Sien was surprised by Jade’s offer.
Jade continued,
“Do you want revenge?”
“What are you talking about?”
“David von Kaine.”
Sien flinched at the ntion of Kaine’s na.
Jade smiled at Sien’s PTSD and said,
“If you accept my offer, I’ll help you get revenge. And I’ll give you power.”
“You’ll give power…?”
“Yes, that person can give you new power.”
The person Jade was referring to was the boss of the cult, Ilter.
No one else would call him that except Jade.
‘…I’ll accept.’
After all, if Sien refused, he would die here.
The cult wouldn’t have any reason to spare a witness.

And Sien also wanted revenge on David von Kaine.
“If I refuse, you’ll kill , right?”
“You’re smart.”
“Hmm… I’ll accept your offer.”
Sien accepted Jade’s offer with a sigh.
