[Hope Academy]

In front of the city's entrance, William was standing with crossed arms.

He was looking the breathtaking scenery in front of him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As he was enjoying the fresh and salty scent in the air, suddenly someone from behind him started to speak.

"William, the ship is coming. Get ready."

William opened his eyes and looked into the distance. There, a small yacht was coming toward the artificial city with a rapid pace.

Watching the approaching vehicle on the ocean, William turned around and looked at the boy in front of him. He was of course Liam.

"What will happen, you need to keep it as a secret. No one could know about it, Understood?" said William with a solemn face.

"Of course I stay quiet about it! I have also hatred toward that brat after he made me unconscious. I can't wait to crush him. Don't let me see him again." answered Liam, while smashing his two fists together.

Watching his friend's thirst of revenge, William just smiled a bit and turned back. In front of him not too far away, the yacht stopped and an old man stepped out to the land.

The man was in a black suit with a white shirt under it and a black necktie. He had a small beard and a grizzled hair. It was obvious that he was the butler William wanted.

After stepping to the ground the servant looked around. Seeing William, he walked in front of him. When he arrived 1 meters away from him, he bowed with his left hand in front of his chest, while the right behind his back.

"It has been a long time since we saw each other, Young Master!" said the old man with respect in his voice.

"Yeah it's been a while, Oliver. Well then, after it's finished we will talk. Osiris!" said William as he put his hands on Oliver's shoulder.

Hearing this made Oliver confused, but before he could answer, black light coverd him up and dissapeared into thin air.

"Will it be really okay?" asked Liam a bit worried.

"Don't worry. Osiris have already transmitted it to Erebus what my plans are, so we will have a huge boost in strength." said William and with a crossed arms waiting for Oliver's comeback.

[Durban]

Greg was standing on the sand, while watching the incoming huge wave and the life threatening nails.

To save time, while he was thinking of a solution, he made the time slower. Of course he didn't make it stop, cause he would be definitely die.

As the time slowed down to crawl, he looked around. After thinking through hundreds of ways that would save him and the citizens, he didn't find any.

If he tried to manipulate the tsunami he would be dead long ago, because of the nails. But if he deflects the Demon's incoming attack the hundreds of meters heigh wave would destroy the city, killing thousands of innocent people.

Luckily, he had the power to slow down the time, if not, he would be dead long ago.

After thinking about ways of solutions, he had only one idea which could help him. And that was the cultivation technique's flow.

If he could make use of it again like last time, he would be able to make a huge earth wall around the beach and changing it's substance into steel. After that he would have time to defend against the incoming attack.

"It's risky, but I have to give it a try!" thought Greg and with that, he kneeled down and put his palms on the ground.

In that instant a few km long and hundreds of meters in height and width, a gigantic earth wall appeared in front of the city.

"Blerghh!!"

Greg coughed up a lot of blood into the sand, but this didn't make him give up. Clenching his teeth he started to make the flow circling around in his body.

As he was doing that, the time started to fasten a bit, making Greg a bit nervous.

"Come on... Come on!... Change! CHANGE!!!"

As he shouted those words, the stone wall started to turn from soil and earth into the hardest steel in the world.

When the changing was in half way, Greg felt a tingling sensations on his neck. He looked to the side and saw that the nails were about 6 to 7 meters away to slash him into pieces.

Seeing that, he turned back and with more power, he pushed the flow inside him circle faster and faster.

"AAARGH!! COOMMEEE OON!!! CHAAANGEEE!!!" Shouted Greg and suddenly something unexpected happend.

Inside his body something snapped. Feeling the strange sensation all over his body, Greg looked up and pointed at the wall.

"CHANGE!!" Shouted loudly Greg with some blood on the corner of his mouth.

In that instant the whole wall turned to raw steel just in time.

*BOOOOMM!!!*

The tsunami hit the wall with so much power that the wall started to shook, but it stood firmly where it was.

Not wasting any more time Greg teleported away. If he would have stood still even for a millisecond, his body would have been in pieces already.

A second later, he appeared next to the Demon and with his two swords he cut its head off from it's shoulder.

*Blargh*

Greg fell down and started to cough up an insane amount of blood.

"Damn! I should have used my power more carefully and this wouldn't have happened." said Greg with clenching teeth.

As he was lying on the sand the Demons body had turned to ash, leaving a red eyeball.

The citizens, who have watched all the happenings, were utterly shocked.

What they first thought that the man in black gets killed, but not. Suddenly, a huge earth wall appeared in front of the tsunami and it turned into steel, making it stop.

After that the man dissapeared and appeared next to the creature and cut its head off.

Everything happened insanely fast!

Greg pulled himself up and picked up the red eyeball.

"Hmm...It seems I will have a new Soul Piece." said and put it away. After he did that he turned around and looked toward the gigantic steel wall and whispered,"It's unbelievable that I made it through."

As he was watching the unrealistically huge spectate in front of him, suddenly he felt something burn on his right wrist.

"Agh!" he pulled up his sleeve and what he saw made him suprised.

A colorful circle appeared under the back of his hand on his wrist. From it, a line went up on his lower arm stopping under his elbow.

"Huh? What is this?" asked Greg with a confused face.

Suddenly Elohim's voice rang in Greg's ears, "Hmm...It seems you reached the first realm. That on your right hand is the sign of breaking through a Realm. After every Realm that line will spread on your body, helping to get used to the powers you wield. But..."

"But what?" asked Greg after hearing that Elohim didn't want to say what it was.

"But you shouldn't have been able to break through. Your understanding about your abilities are relatively small. Yet you stand here with the aura of the first Realm."

Greg listened to Elohim and looked down on his arms. After bit later he asked,"Then, is it good or not?"

"Hmm...It is good indeed, but I would give you an advice. Try to study and deepen your knowledge more about your Enlightenment and Authority. If not there should be huge consequences in the future."

"Okay I understood!"

After turning his gaze back to the wall he said,"Well later or sooner there will be people with powers, so this could stay here as a symbol that there was someone before them."

And as he said that he turned around and started to walk away.

[Hope Academy, Girl's Mansion]

Inside their luxurious and comfortable room, Isla and Dorothy were watching the TV.

>And we are here with the latest news! Last night an unidentified man in black cloth annihilated the creature, which killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Durban. And what is more, a huge tsunami appeared, ready to destroy the city, but this huge iron wall appeared out of nowhere and stopped the incoming wave. No one knows who was the man or how this colossal thing appeared here...

"Wow sis? Can you believe it? It's mind blowing!!" said Dorothy with energy, but seeing her sister in deep thought she asked,"What's the matter?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking, isn't that guy who saved us?" asked Isla.

"Hmm...you are right. He looks like the guy from before." said Dorothy after thinking for a while.

"Oh right, Dad called me. He said they found a clue after analyzing some videos from its appearance. The guy has a tattoo on his wrist. It says 'Authority'." said Isla to Dorothy.

"Woow. It's cool~! We have at least a direction where we can start to go and find him!" said Dorothy happily.

"Yeah, and Dad also said that, the man appeared in Hungary, Germany and in France, but after that his trace vanished."

"Hmm... Yeah it's a bit strange, but just forget it. Dad will find him sooner or later. Rather, let's talk about something else. Let's see... Ah! What do you think, what does Greg do now? We didn't see him almost for 2 days." asked Dorothy curiously from Isla.

Hearing this, Isla just shook her head and with a smile she started to tease Dorothy as always...
