Chapter 3 You are Distorted

Her face was flushed Her charming eyes were striking The girl opposite her was no less captivating Determination and innocence converged to form a contrasting pair

"How are things... have you cleared up what's on your mind about this place?"

Chas asked the girl whose face was cute and innocent yet possessed courage and seriousness

The young girl with thick dark hair and eyes like red gems along with a timid nature Chenya slightly averted her friend's gaze

"...Well..."

The two were sitting at a famous bakery in Northern Ishvor City The place was known for its superb ingredients People praised and favored it The shop had many tables for them to sit Chenya glanced at the people around her in the shop with embarrassment She was worried about every gaze that passed over her

"...Then let's change the subject..." Chas's eyes softened She looked at the plate in her hand that held bread and food Chas slowly looked up

A loud sound from nearby startled people Chenya was shocked The pastry in her hand even dropped The city's signaling device sounded The many people in the shop ran out in a frenzy as if for their lives Gunshots rang out They continued loudly As people from no ordinary institute like the Magic Institute

The girls who were full of extraordinary specialty chose to run out of the shop and follow the sound

On the other side two men were desperately running away from numerous powerful debt collectors who chased them for their lives Everything was not what should have been seen but it happened anyway These officials seemed not like justice supporters

But rather like a group of savage people in a dark organization The chased man was shirtless only wearing trousers as if he had just been captured not long ago

Enklas the young man was running for his life but he was extremely agile and fluid

"Try to catch me if you can~~"

Phanet another young man running was close behind him

"Don't underestimate them... They just caught us moments ago...!!"

They were not panicked by the situation they were experiencing but were rather ambivalent These two men were like people full of the extraordinary Enklas dashed into a small alley and hid behind a trash can His friend Phanet struggled and continued running while the officials kept chasing

But Phanet could not escape the pursuing officials They all raised their guns aiming at him He ran out of options He stopped running and stood still letting these officials come and capture him

"Wooww..."

A mysterious man's voice sounded fleetingly a hoarse voice that was unclear It came from the top of a four-story building The officials had successfully detained this young man They slowly looked up in surprise

"...Wooww... Why don't you love me...!"

"My heart is about to shatter..."

The young man's voice spoke out ignoring his surroundings He vented his sorrow filled with resignation

"You lowlifes..."

Kaman one of the officials said coldly He and his group turned their backs in great frustration Phanet who was captured smiled cunningly at the corner of his mouth

Suddenly that man in a short black coat with a sword attached stylishly to his waist Konji jumped down from the building with fluid motion like a gentle swaying breeze His footsteps softly touched the stone ground as if he were weightless His hands remained confidently in his trouser pockets

These officials did not have time to turn to look at him but their eyes widened in surprise and fear erupted illogically They slowly turned back in shock

"Konji...!!"

Phanet spoke softly his body starting to lose strength He smiled cunningly at Konji who was slowly walking closer

One of the officials whispered into his friend's ear his voice was startled his eyes slightly trembling

"...Who is he...!!"

Konji slowly walked closer with the same confident cunning while the officials slowly turned Konji glanced at the feet of one of the officials

"Oh that's very nice... I really like your shoes."

The man's eyes widened in shock not expecting that Konji walked closer He slowly squatted down His hand lightly touched the official's shoe Phanet who was being held widened his eyes in surprise

"Wait...!! What are you doing?"

"...Expensive shoes... Can I have them?" Konji slowly looked up His face smiled mischievously

"Who are you and what do you want..."

"Crazy man don't interfere with official business..."

This official was extremely angry and frustrated His eyes were full of anger that was like bursting fire

Chas and Chenya followed the sound until they arrived They saw everything but were waiting in ambush

Chas "Officials huh... Impossible."

Konji's smiling face and his squatting posture in this situation seemed to diminish the value

Both of Konji's hands firmly grabbed this official's left leg He violently threw the official sending him tumbling to the ground revealing immense strength

Everyone was shocked Konji slowly stood up his face still bowed

The surrounding officials immediately aimed their guns at him They didn't have time to be shocked seeing their friend thrown but they instantly aimed their guns In this situation Phanet who was captured grinned cunningly in secret

"Heh..." with some kind of satisfaction

"Tell me now... Who are you..." Many more officials surrounded him from all sides Originally there weren't many but they arrived in greater numbers They simply ran over Seeing their friend treated like that they followed suit without hesitation looking at Konji angrily "What you did is unforgivable..."

The two girls secretly watching from a distance were very surprised Chenya who was strangely quiet was now restlessly concerned as a junior from the academy towards this person who was more than just a senior

".How pathetic... You're just savages."

"But you're playing the role of officials. Who is your leader..." Konji spoke amidst the people ready to take him down at any moment But Konji showed no tremor or fear whatsoever

Enklas sitting hidden next to the trash can heard everything He knew the whole situation It wasn't far from where he was He breathed heavily the air around was abnormally stifling He picked up a small spherical device from his trouser pocket It looked like a special metal meticulously crafted But suddenly a mysterious sound came from this device it made a sound Fuuu... "*It's me... It's me... Enklas*..."

"The guy named Konji... Who is he. His appearance is similar to a student of the Magic Institute But what I think is he's just wearing it..."

Suddenly the sound stopped He spoke to the spherical object as if it were a specialized communication device that was not commonly seen

"Damn it!!"

"...You young man... You have no right to ask us... Judging by your look you must be a mid-level mage Stop causing trouble and get out of here."

"I'm giving you grace just by not arresting you..." Kaman spoke while loading a gun without hesitation It was aimed confidently at Konji

Konji clapped his hands mockingly His face smiled with squinted eyes in an irritating manner Their words did not affect him at all

The spherical object vibrated periodically Enklas gripped it tightly His concentration was like gathering his mind until it slowly opened into a screen displaying text Konji... or Jinkeon High-level mage of the Ishvor Magic Institute

His current position is...

The young man's eyes widened He was shocked by the text appearing on the screen of the spherical object But his position is...

Chas and Chenya saw Konji from a distance but they did not go to help or reveal themselves as if it were an instruction from someone's genuine will

They did not intend to give him a chance Bullets poured down on Konji from all angles Even as death crept closer Konji's face remained eerily smiling The sound of trigger pulls was faint before they realized what happened

"His position is Senior Elder of the Institute."

The words were like a hammer striking his head Enklas's body twitched and instantly stiffened He even ran out without thinking Phanet despite being captured had a cunning smile on his face as if he was not the one being victimized

Konji still had his hands in his trouser pockets before lightly pushing off the ground with his toes and easily floating up into the sky like a feather His body shot upwards quickly in just a fraction of a second He used their heads one by one as a platform to tread on in a rapid and indescribable manner Everything made the bodies of the enemies in front of him receive the bullets from their own friends fully

They fell to the ground instantly without time to think It was like their own bullets not ordinary bullets in an instant

Konji reappeared behind Kaman who was the only one left The sharpest blade was at his neck at any moment It choked his breath as if fear came with courage

"...You are... a monster..." Kaman's furious words struck Konji's face directly

His hand slowly slipped the gun under the target's waist quietly ready to kill Konji in an instant

"If you dare... slash me... Distorted ones like you"

"Shouldn't exist in the first place..."

With wide eyes they could not look away from the incident Phanet who was held hostage slowly backed away in fear

Konji's eyes were cold and emotionless as if feelings from a deep memory returned He said nothing only the blade shining from the dawn ready to clash in a second

Phanet ran towards the two girls Chas and Chenya with

"Our levels are very different... Calm down..."

He spoke directly without thinking about who they were but it was as if this young man spoke the truth Enklas on the other side gripped the spherical object tightly His eyes shook with surprise

"Distorted ones..." He muttered inwardly

Konji stood still like a statue before slowly releasing his hand from the sword The sound of the sharp blade hitting the ground echoed throughout the area Only a bare figure stood behind him His cold face appeared His emotion was like an underwater volcano

"Yes I am distorted... We are above physics... We shouldn't have existed in the first place..."

"Why do ordinary humans have to coexist with distorted ones..."

Beneath the calm face... But inside Konji's body there was chaos Veins bulged with the pain he kept only to himself
