“You want to arrest me? Sure, no problem!” Then he pointed back to Rhys, “Arrest him too or does noble blood mean he is permitted to commit attempted murder.” Quinn frowned.
“Ask any one of them first, what he tried to do?”
Captain Vaughan narrowed his eyes, then he turned around.
“Anyone that can testify that Rhys tried to kill Quinn first should step forward this instant.”
Quinn clenched his fists.
“Guys. What are you doing? Weren't anyone there when that panther tried to do a killer move? Didn't you see?”
However none of them answered.
They all looked away.
Vaughan chuckled. “As you can see, you have no witnesses or evidence.” He said, glaring at Quinn, before turning to his shoulders.
“Seize him!”
A black hole formed around both Vaughan and the soldiers who were coming forward.
Quinn was the first person to notice this.
“Bell. Stop it! You'd only make it worse.” He quickly said to her.
He had thought she was resting until he saw the black hole.
The black hole vanished.
And Vaughan realised that the strong pressure he was feeling had vanished.
Quinn was quickly subdued and his hands were tied.
A massive Griffin materialized in front of them.
“Throw him on top.”
Quinn could do nothing and he was thrown on to the beast.
“This isn't fair.” He frowned.
“Nothing’s fair in this world, Kid. Next time, you'd learn to watch who you hurt.” Vaughan said in a low tone.
“He started it.”
“Where's your family?”
“They disowned me.” Quinn answered, looking away.
It was all because of that stupid affinity exam.
Why was even something like that in existence.
Now he had a Primordial Beast, yet these dullards claim he is using forbidden arts.
“Once I get out, I'm going to make a city of my own, where the weak can leave without fear of the strong.”
Quinn mumbled to himself.
But first he needed to leave this place.
Days passed and Quinn was brought to the City's supreme court.
“Quinn Thorpes. You stand accused of the attempted murder of Rhys Rodriguez and the usage of forbidden beast arts. How do you plead?”
Quinn sighed, but he remained silent.
“Quinn. You have time to think of what to say, but remember it would only stand to prove your guilt or innocence. How do you plead.”
Quinn gave no response.
Even the judge was getting ticked off.
“Your honour, he deserves death, and you also need to seize his beast for what that monstrosity did to me.” Rhys rose to his feet, clutching his arm—rather his left stump.
Without an arm, how could he live on earth like a full man?
Quinn raised his gaze. “It was simply self defense. However, if you intend to say I used forbidden arts. Let me have a fight with Captain Vaughan and I'd use the exact same move I used in fighting that rascal.”
Rhys' face scrunched into a frown.
“How can we even trust what you say?”
Then the door to the court was pushed open.
“I was there. I can prove it was the exact same move.”
It was the instructor who watched the previous match.
The Judge looked at the situation and then nodded.
“There's a fighting arena behind the court. You can make use of that.”
Captain Vaughan crossed his arms.
He was also curious about the move this kid had used.
Was it that powerful that even a Rare Class could not defeat it?
Everyone moved to the back of the court.
And Quinn stood in the middle of the arena, with Bell besides him, as they both faced Captain Vaughan.
“Just because you are a kid, doesn't mean I'd go easy on you.”
Quinn nodded, “I don't expect you to.”
A large snake like monster materialized besides Vaughan.
It was as tall as a mountain and its scales glimmered like steel.
“The Awakened Class Beast, Snake Demon.” Quinn uttered with a smile.
Sweat pooled on his forehead.
“That's correct. Seems you know your beasts quite well. Makes me wonder why you used forbidden arts instead.” Vaughan frowned.
“I didn't.” Quinn shot back, “Bell, attack.”
The girl walked forward and snapped her finger.
The large black hole appeared under Vaughan and his snake.
This one was three times as large as the one she used before.
Then she vanished.
The same thing Vaughan and his beast got swallowed by the black hole.
Quinn sat on the floor.
He didn't think Bell would be able to fight an Awakened class.
That class was ten times stronger than Rhys’ weak Rare class.
“Bell, are you good?” Quinn spoke through the telepathic communication.
At first she didn't respond and that made him panic.
“Bell, answer me.” Quinn said again.
“Too strong.” Her voice came back.
Quinn exhaled in relief, “Okay that's fine. End it and come out.”
The next second, the large black hole appeared and Vaughan and his beast materialized.
Bell appeared besides Quinn.
“Good Job!” He patted her head after seeing that she had no injuries. “Go rest. I'd get food for you soon.”
Bell nodded and she vanished.
However, the eyes of everyone in the arena were wide open.
Captain Vaughan was bleeding.
There were so many slashes around his body.
Although tiny, they were still there.
Vaughan grunted, and looked up.
Even his beast. The awakened class summon he was so proud of had lost an eye.
“That kid didn't use a forbidden art after all.”

CHAPTER 79
The settlement of *Crimson Dust* did not have walls; it had a barricade of rusted siege engines, sharpened dread-iron spikes, and the bleached bones of massive desert anomalies. It sat at the bottom of a dried, toxic lakebed in the southern badlands, permanently shrouded in a swirling vortex of abrasive red sand.They approached the heavily fortified main gates just as the blood-red sun dipped below the jagged horizon, wearing heavy, tattered mercenary cloaks over their civilian combat gear, their faces hidden beneath thick cloth wraps to filter out the suffocating dust."Keep your auras completely suppressed," Quinn commanded through the localized comm-link in his ear, his voice barely a rasp against the howling wind. "If they sense even a fraction of regulated mana, we will have a hundred rogue Strikers on us before we cross the threshold.""My core is locked down," Luna confirmed, walking with a rigid, calculated limp to perfectly mimic a wounded mercenary.Standing before the rust
CHAPTER 78
The room felt less like more like a crypt. Luna sat on the edge of Quinn’s bed, her hands trembling violently as she maintained a faint, sputtering aura of restorative white light over his shattered chest. She was exhausted, her own inverted pathways burning with agonizing phantom pain, but she refused to stop."Don't move, Quinn," Luna whispered, her voice hoarse, devoid of its usual icy bite. "If you shift, the sternum will pierce your lung. My cellular acceleration is barely holding the bone splinters together."Quinn lay flat on his back, his dark eyes staring blankly at the stone ceiling. He didn't flinch as the bone magically knitted itself back together. He simply existed in the pain, letting it forge a cold, unyielding callous over his tactical mind.Across the room, Darius sat on the floor, using his teeth to pull a roll of bandages tight across his own bruised ribs. Felix stood in the corner, his back to the room. He had salvaged a spare runic terminal, but the holographic
CHAPTER 77
It took two days of planning and brainstorming before they were able to find something. They found someone connected to the movement.The only sound was the rhythmic dripping of condensation from the rotting iron pipes above.Squad Seven crouched atop a massive, decaying crane, their auras completely suppressed."Target acquired," Felix whispered into the comm-link. His runic spectacles whirred, cutting through the dense fog. "Thermal signature matches the residual aether we pulled from the decoy cave. It’s him. The Syndicate’s primary handler."Below them, standing in the center of an empty concrete loading pad, was a singular figure. He wore a tailored, high-collared charcoal trench coat that seemed to absorb the ambient mist. He had no visible weapons, no heavy armor, and his mana output was terrifyingly quiet—like a flatline."He’s waiting for a dead-drop extraction," Quinn murmured, his tactical gaze analyzing the handler's perfectly balanced posture. "Darius, take his left flan
CHAPTER 76
Darius kicked a jagged piece of obsidian. It shattered against the canyon wall with a sharp *crack*. "You don't just erase a fortress! You don't make a dozen massive iron cages and heavily armed executioners vanish into thin air!""They didn't," Felix said, his voice trembling as he knelt in the mud, holding his runic spectacles close to the flattened earth. "A spatial erasure artifact doesn't disintegrate matter, Darius. It folds the localized space into a pocket dimension or forcefully teleports the contents to a secondary anchor point. But the energy required to move a facility of that size... it’s staggering. It leaves a massive aetheric vacuum.""I don't care about the vacuum, archivist," Luna hissed, pacing like a caged predator. The brawler’s tape on her hands was soaked with rain, but her fists remained tightly clenched. "I care about the children! If they teleported them, we need to know where!"Quinn stood perfectly still, his eyes closed, letting the rain hit his face. He e
CHAPTER 75
Following the tribunal shift, the Class-A Watchlist had been implemented with suffocating, terrifying efficiency. Two Vanguard Inquisitors, clad in their light-absorbing obsidian armor, were permanently stationed at the end of Squad Seven’s dormitory hallway. Heavy, ocular wards shaped like glowing silver eyes floated near the ceiling of the cafeteria, tracking Luna’s every movement. The ambient mana in the air was thick with the constant, invasive hum of scrying magic.But Squad Seven had no intention of playing the roles of obedient, terrified prisoners.Midnight brought a torrential downpour, the heavy rain hammering against the stained-glass windows of their secured room. The thunder perfectly masked the frantic, whispered conversation happening inside."The ocular wards operate on a thermal-aetheric spectrum," Felix explained, kneeling on the cold stone floor. He was surrounded by four glowing, fist-sized amethyst crystals. His runic spectacles whirred as he painstakingly carved
CHAPTER 74
Felix paced the narrow space between the beds, his runic spectacles flashing with frantic, cascading numbers. "The tribunal shift was a brilliant tactical delay, Quinn, but mathematically, it is a decaying orbit. Councilor Vesper controls the internal investigation committee. Within three days, they will falsify the aetheric residue reports, claim Luna's healing magic was innately offensive, and sentence her anyway."Darius leaned against the cold stone wall, his emerald eyes burning with restless agitation. "We can't fight the entire Academy bureaucracy. And we can't break her out without turning her into a hunted terrorist.""We don't fight the bureaucracy," Quinn said, sitting at the heavy wooden desk. His voice was a calm, lethal hum. "We amputate its legs. An investigation relies on witness testimony. The only witnesses to the breach were Commander Rael’s Vanguard Wardens. Specifically, the three men Luna directly engaged.""You want to intimidate them?" Darius asked, a sharp, da
