"Bam!" Two fists collided against each other, followed by the sound of a low grunt. "Tch. You became even stronger huh?" Rio glared at Aiden as he was forced to take two steps back. "He's stronger than last time" Aiden frowned as he glanced at his fist, still rooted at the same spot From their clash just now, he discovered that Rio's mana was more potent. "I wonder how strong he is" he wondered when a lightbulb suddenly lit up in his head. "Oh. I remember possessing that skill!" Just then, Aiden's left eye went blood red. However this wasn't as a result of his Vampire side surfacing because at that moment, a strange pattern could be spotted swirling within his blood red eye. It was the pattern of a Silver colored Shen Symbol. —[Analysis has been activated!!] At that moment, Aiden shot Rio a quick glance, causing a row of information to appear on the system panel screen. —[TARGET INFO]—Name: Rio Blake —Age: 16—Race: Human—Affinity: Magi—Mojos: Time Manipulation, Abilit

"W-Wait a minute Akira? what do you mean?" Alaric's expression spammed with confusion. "You heard me Alaric" dropping this statement, Akira retreated into the kitchen. "Uhm.. I'm sorry but it looks like Akira has been undergoing some mood swings lately" Clarissa flashed Alaric an apologetic smile as she rushed back into the kitchens... "Now!!" Aiden squinted his eyes as the sand bullets were merely few inches away from reaching Rio. Perhaps it was his imagination, but he felt a bright light flash by in a brief instant before the sand bullets suddenly seemed to have changed their trajectory, headed towards his way. "Hmph. You think you can take me down with that kind of surprise attack?" Aiden scoffed. Thanks to the skill *Analysis* he was able to deduce what kind of skills Rio had in his arsenal. As such, he was waiting for the right moment when Rio would use the skill *Time Statis* Only by the name alone, he had been able to guess how it worked. "Tch. It's useless" he cl

When Butler Nicholas returned back to the Mansion, it was already late in the evening. As soon as Aiden was informed by Sophie about his arrival, he instantly left his room to go meet up with him. He had a lot of questions in his mind that needed answers. "Young master, is there something you need?" Butler Nicholas had just finished switching off the lights in the parlor when he sensed Aiden's presence. "You went to the Academy right?" Aiden didn't beat around the bush. As if sensing the implications in Aiden's question, Butler Nicholas flashed him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry young master, the other issue has already been dealt with. However, you have been suspended for a week" "That wasn't what I came here to ask" Aiden shook his head. "I have a lot of questions that needs a sincere answer. And the first one is.. why did Xavier take me under his custody?" "No matter how stupid I am, there is no way I won't grow suspicious" Aiden folded his arms.. "Xavier is a high a

"Bosss!" Rin was currently enjoying an early morning drink at the balcony of his mansion when one of his servants rushed up to him. "What is it?" Rin frowned in irritattion at the disturbance of his leisure time. "I am sorry Boss, but I think the mansion is under attack!" the servant revealed while bowing her head. "Under attack?" the glass of blood that Rin was drinking slipped from his grip, staining the tiles red. "Who dares?" he stood up from his feets. "I don't know. They are a group of unknown masked men. The Security Guards were completely helpless before them" the servant replied. "Tch. Why didn't you inform me sooner?" Rin snapped as he rushed out of the balcony. Upon exiting the mansion, he was met with a gory sight. Laying carelessly on the ground were the security guards he had stationed to watch over the mansion. Although he was strong enough to protect himself, having them was just for formalities. Currently the security guards were all on the ground, deader th

"Tch. You are really tough. Looks like I underestimated you yet again" the Circus show magician twirled his walking stick while panting heavily. "However, it looks like I still did quite a number on you" he further added. Currently, Rin had already reverted back to his original form. The only line of clothing he had left was a tattered pant, with many parts of his body riddled with deep gashes that were slowly healing up. "If this keeps up, I am only going to end up tiring myself out" the Circus show magician mumbled to himself with a slight frown.. "Not to mention that this bastard is a Red One, so he has more endurance than me. I've got to finish him off with the next move!" While he was contemplating the next course of action to take, Rin made his move. Flapping his large bat like wings, he got propelled forward. Perhaps it was due to the fact that he was now in his normal size, but Rin became nimbler than usual. Arriving before one of the thugs who came along with the circu
