The Author's POV

Bang—! Bang—!

The sound of small shockwaves resounded as circular pressurized wind gales pushed outwards from the point of contact between a fist and a punching bag.

"Haa!"

Letting out a cry, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, the instep of his foot collided against the punching bag.

Bang—!

This time, a louder sound resounded as an even more powerful shockwave swept through the private training grounds.

Thump—!

Following the kick, the punching bag fell onto the floor as a large tear appeared by the side of its body. Black sand spilled out from it.

Lowering his head and staring at the punching bag below him, Jin's breathing was a bit rough.

Having spent the most part of the afternoon training, he was understandably tired.

"Thank you."

Grabbing onto a towel that a servant girl offered, Jin thanked her. Then, putting it on his face, he wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his face.

It was only after Jin was done drying up that the servant lady finally spoke up. Her tone was extremely respectful.

"Young Master, the items you requested have arrived."

"Oh?"

Jin raised his brow and stared at the servant lady. Wearing a black suit and having long blonde hair that perfectly complemented her emerald-colored eyes, she looked very beautiful. But of course, Jin wasn't in the least bit interested in her beauty.

Without saying anything, he handed the towel back and headed for his office space.

Sure enough, sitting on his desk was a large box. Walking towards the box and carefully opening it, Jin took out a pair of clean daggers.

On closer inspection, one would discover faint lines that spread throughout the set of daggers. These lines gave out a strange feeling as the mana in the air trembled slightly at its presence.

The grip of the dagger felt rather rough, but it was to ensure a proper hold. On the other hand, the main body of the dagger was extremely sharp. Just from a casual glance, Jin could tell that the daggers were extremely well-crafted.

"This should be of good use to me."

Jin nodded in satisfaction before putting the daggers away.

Ci- Clank—!

Right as he put the daggers away, the same servant lady from before entered his office space.

Bowing down slightly, she quietly stood by the side, without saying anything.

Used to such a scene, Jin didn't say anything and sat down on his desk.

Tapping onto its surface, a series of holographic images materialized before him.

Briefly looking at them for a moment, Jin turned his attention back to the servant lady and asked in a neutral tone, "If I don't recall incorrectly, you said that the Union is about to make a big announcement in the following month?"

"That is correct." The servant lady replied in a monotonous tone and proceeded to take something out from her pocket. It turned out to be a small white envelope, which she promptly handed to Jin.

"What's this?" Jin asked as he took the envelope from her hands. He sounded slightly curious.

Tearing the seal, Jin took out the letter inside the envelope and read through its contents.

"An invitation from the Union?"

"That is correct. In the wishes of the guild master, you are to participate with him in the event," the servant lady replied from the side.
