*BANG!*
An explosion of raging flames erupted in the middle of the frozen forest. At the center of it all, that man had his eyes wide open and was blasted several meters backward, only stopping after crashing to a halt.
His flame weapon, created through his blessing, was capable of injuring even a Risen Lord. Even so, the figure in front of him merely made a subtle gesture, and all of that power scattered in every direction.
Darian spoke calmly, staring straight into his eyes.
"Don't be so hasty. Why did you attack me? Can't you recognize the academy leader's tablet?"
"Don't give me that bullshit. The Celestia Academy has a tablet just like that one, and it's not hard to create copies with subtle changes. They even tried to use that to invade the galaxies of my Shadows of Heaven Academy in the past. Why would I fall for that?" the young man spat coldly.
"Oh? That's new," Darian replied, completely emotionless.
