Chapter 79
All that was left behind was a trail of dust.Hinata closed the distance between him and Ryder faster than Ryder's eyes could trace. Movement faster than a black-marked summoner could trace.One moment he was standing fifteen feet away from Ryder at the other side of the platform, taking his preparatory stance. The next moment, he was directly in front of Ryder, close enough that Ryder could feel the displaced air from his movement blowing into his face.What was truly impressive wasn't just the speed—it was also the control.Hinata had covered the distance in what appeared to be a single fluid motion that even Ryder surprisingly could not track. He had stopped precisely where he intended to stop, with no overshoot, no correction, just perfectly accurate."The key," Hinata said, his voice perfectly steady despite the fact that he had just demonstrated an extraordinary movement, "is not just speed, but controlled speed. Power without precision is merely destructive force. Precision wit

"Take your stance."Mara's face drained of color in a flash, her brown eyes widening to the size of dinner plates as she took a step backward subconsciously."No way! That's really necessary!" she protested, her voice carrying unhidden panic.Her hands flew up defensively, palms facing outward as if she could physically push away the very suggestion. "You should just show us how it's done—no need for us to interfere!"She gestured wildly at Hinata, who stood before them calmly. "I mean, look at you! You know we don't stand a chance against you in a battle. We'll wind up hurt—no, scratch that—we'll wind up destroyed if we have a duel!""Isn't that right, Brok!" She turned to Brok, who suddenly shot upward like he was being hit by a lightning strike at the mention of his name.Brok nodded so fast like a bobblehead doll in speed that should have defied his capability."Uhh... Exactly! I've seen enough action movies to know how this ends. The rookie gets in the ring with the master, and t

"You'll be learning some advanced techniques, ones that can help a brown-marked attain enough strength to defeat a red mark."Mara's eyes widened in shock as the statement seemed to be directed at her. Surprises after surprises—that was all she had been receiving ever since she paired up with Ryder, each revelation more extraordinary than the last. It was as if someone had taken everything she thought she knew about the world and tossed it into a well, filling her head instead with impossible dreams.The world was so vast, so complex that no one could ever decipher just how much they had no clue about.If not for the fact that she was traveling with Ryder right now—this walking anomaly who had somehow managed to contract a black-marked familiar without losing his soul to the demon plane—she would never have been exposed to such mind-bending revelations.A technique that allows a Brown Mark to be able to take on a Red Mark in battle! The very thought made her head spin. What if that te

Yuji Fan, the supreme leader of the northern district—also known as the fan's settlement—prostrated towards Master Sung with such swiftness that Leo couldn't help but wonder if the man had practiced this exact movement in front of a mirror for years."You are welcome, Master," he greeted.Master Sung nodded in acknowledgment, allowing Yuji to get back on his feet. The gesture was so casual it almost seemed dismissive—though Ryder suspected there was more calculation behind Master Sung's every movement than he let on.All Master Sung's actions are always such that have meaning that could only be figured out when pressed on internally.The others behind were dumbfounded, but not for the reason one might expect.They weren't particularly surprised by the greeting and respect Yuji showed Master Sung—after witnessing the gate incident and the figures standing in parallel lines beside the carpet, they'd already gotten enough evidence that Master Sung commanded a level of respect and fear th

As they walked through the quiet street, Master Song used the opportunity to explain more about his guild to Rider and his crew. "The Red Eastern guild," he began, his hands clasped behind his back as they walked between the towering structures, "is seen as formidable all over the world and treated with respect, but just to some extent." Master Song continued. "We have earned the title of the fastest rising guild and have quite some strength and facilities to back it up, but that was just only enough to bring us among the top 100 strongest guilds in the world." The revelation hit Ryder like a cold splash of water to the face. Despite how Master Song seemed so strong that even he—the only black marked summoner who contracted a beast from the demon plane—doubted if he could ever win against him in battle, despite all this overwhelming power, the Red Eastern guild still ranked as just one of the top 100 strongest guilds in the world. "Wait, hold up," Brok interjected, nearly stumbling
