Athen had always lived a solitary life, as without any family or friends, he struggled to survive in his poor, forgotten hometown. The only escape from this grim reality came in the form of tales of magic told by rare visitors from the distant capital.

That was, until one day, Athen discovered that magic wasn't just a dream. It was within him.

With his newfound power, Athen completed a desperate heist, stealing a priceless diamond. But his triumph was short-lived when he realized the diamond was a fake.

Yet... what seemed like a cruel trick turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for the fake diamond held the key to unlocking Athen’s greatest desire: the chance to truly learn magic.

Slowly shifting his gaze away, Athen glanced to the left at the second teacher he had spotted from up here.

However...unlike the other teachers, who had massive crowds surrounding them, this one didn't have an entourage...not one single student.

With his long black hair tied into a short ponytail, the male professor simply stood still, scanning the plaza with his onyx-black eyes.

"Surely, they can see him, right?"

As if proving his point, a student suddenly made eye contact with the teacher before immediately walking in the opposite direction, acting as if he had never seen the teacher.
