Outside the academy, there is a cluster of luxury houses intended for the nobility. It wasn’t exactly the nobility, but rather people with a lot of money and influence. There had to be a balance of both to be able to live there.
A red-haired teenager named Thomas was sitting with his two friends eating an afternoon coffee fit for a king, with various fruits and high-end foods. Ever since they became mages, they have been living in the clouds.
Thomas managed to pass with four rays and three concepts, becoming a hope for his noble family. His friends passed with three concepts and three rays, becoming geniuses too. The future was practically made for them. They knew they wouldn’t live at the top of the top, but they would still enjoy the best treatment possible within the kingdom.
"Thomas Silva, get out and face the consequences of your actions!" A booming voice resounded throughout the entire neighborhood. Practically all the neighbors came out to see the chaos happening.
As soon as the nobleman walked outside, he saw Kayden floating in the air with an unwavering expression and a suffocating aura. Kayden’s mere presence caused pressure on those around him. Some students were already at the grand mage level and still had to recognize Kayden’s strength.
"Are you here to be beaten again?" Thomas couldn’t feel Kayden’s presence with his spiritual sense. Normally, when a mage or any level beyond was caught in the spiritual sense, he looked like a massive point curving space.
Similar to a bowling ball on a sheet held in the air, when someone didn’t display these characteristics, it could only mean one thing: they were much stronger than you and could control their mana to a higher level. Normally, it took a difference of realm for this to happen, and the second case was that the person was still an apprentice.
The three began to float towards Kayden in a carefree manner. Only a few people could recognize the monster that Kayden was, and these three weren’t in that league.
"A few months ago, you stopped me from bowing in respect to my master for the last time." Kayden couldn’t continue when Thomas’ voice mocked him.
"Too bad the baby can’t see his fucking dead master." His two friends laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world.
"Today I come to fulfill the promise I made that day." Kayden didn’t say anything else as he released his aura in its entirety and opened his path to the fullest. He would make a worthy spectacle for his first fight in the first kingdom.
Instantly, everyone felt as if the world stopped for a second. All the mana in the room became strange and unwilling. Meanwhile, Kayden looked like a god-standing midair as everything converged on him.
A better way to describe him would be a demon. His bloodlust was latent in the air, turning the mana around him into something dark. It was possible to see certain faces in despair in the mana around him.
This was something that happened to those in the first realm. They could put their killing intent into their mana, transforming something ethereal into something visible. The faces were of the people you killed.
"What the fuck?" A great wizard fell to the ground in fear of someone an entire kingdom below him. He didn’t remember seeing so many faces like this before, not even the most psychopathic people of his generation.
Making the atmosphere even more terrifying, the clouds in the sky began to close and thunder, as if they were awaiting orders to start hell on earth—a macabre smile formed on Kayden’s face.
"Any last words?" A primal fear settled over the three of them. They couldn’t even move. The strength Kayden was demonstrating just pushing his way through was ridiculous.
"The government will arrest you... my family will avenge me!" Thomas stuttered each word under Kayden’s cold gaze. Killing someone there would have many negative effects, but Kayden had carte blanche from the king himself, and even if he hadn’t, he would have done it.
His promises were not lip service, Kayden had a mentality that we must stick to our words no matter what the cost, if you betray yourself you will never have the ability to go beyond mere mortality, because how do you hope to become a god when he betrays himself?
In "The Fall of the Heavens", Kayden renamed Zeus’ thunderbolt as it was no longer suitable.
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the mana converged to the heavens and the clouds released frightening lightning at extreme speed, no one even had time to think as a blue barrier opened and covered the three.
An amulet on Thomas’ chest was floating and keeping this barrier in the air, this caused a smile on the boy’s face, Kayden wasted his mana and managed to defend the attack, at that moment it was his chance to attack.
"Let’s go...."
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
Dozens of lightning began to fall on the barrier, and there seemed to be no end, within seconds the barrier that was supposed to withstand attacks up to the peak of the first realm began to crack into dozens of pieces, and the sound of the lightning made it seem like dozens of bombs were being dropped on the barrier. air.
This caught the attention of the nearby police, and within seconds they had an entire team of mages at the peak of the first realm and a captain at the second realm, unfortunately, they only found Kayden floating in the air.
The three nobles were evaporated by the immense amount of lightning that fell on them, there was no pause between one bolt of lightning and another, it was simply a frightening sequence that sent shivers down the spines of the professionals who were coming to interrupt the fight.
Silence took over the place while the police thought about what to do, there had never been a murder in this area of the city before, besides... Kayden was floating in the air as if nothing could shake him.

"Boy! By the authority of the kingdom I am arresting you until..." the leader of the second kingdom was unable to continue his speech when Kayden looked at him, the man felt like an ant facing a god, this moment lasted only a second and Kayden retracted his path and his suffocating aura.
"Okay sir", Kayden was polite and just went down to the team of professionals without any fear.
"You could get some serious penalties for this kid," the officer who was handcuffing Kayden commented. Kayden didn’t respond, it only took a few minutes for him to get to the station and just a few more for him to walk out the front door free.
The king’s carte blanche was useful, he had to admit, without it, he would have to pay a heavy fine relating to the amount of assets he had, and he would also have to spend a lot on lawyers.
As soon as he stepped into his house, all his friends were there waiting for him, the video of Kayden decimating three wizards as if they were ants appeared on all social networks in the kingdom and went viral instantly.
"Kayden!? What the fuck do you have in your head? And since when do you have this strength, I left you in the canyon just a few hours ago", Heimer shouted as soon as he saw Kayden, the boy gave an apologetic smile and began to explain the situation concisely, hiding some important details.
"I managed to move forward and decided to pay old accounts", his response made his friends angry at the boy’s nerves, killing three people was just giving accounts.
"How strong have you become?" Sarah was the first to ask this question, she had seen the video and even she was impressed, she was in the eighth mage rank and Heimer was in the seventh and yet she couldn’t feel Kayden’s energy anymore, this meant that her control about her mana release surpassed her.
Considering that the average was for students to finish as great wizards in the last or penultimate year, the two were ahead of schedule, even though they were in the sixth year of college they were slightly afraid of Kayden’s power who had just passed to the first level.
"I shouldn’t have opponents at my age," Kayden said confidently, and even if those with one path and four concepts faced him, he was convinced he could crush them like ants.
Five folds, five concepts, and five rays. Kayden has elevated himself to a pedestal far above anyone his age. It could probably face mages who were at four concepts and four rays as long as they were below the fifth level of the first realm.
"This is the brother I chose," Heimer patted Kayden on the back and was instantly happy, damn the day he doubted that Kayden wasn’t a genius, at that moment he understood that his brother was far above his feats.
This... caused a small feeling of envy to arise subconsciously in his heart. Over the next few minutes, Kayden caught up on the events of the last nine months he was in prison.
