44 Hajin Sanchez

Outside the Trier Airlines, while countless reporters were standing in anticipation, a standard white car suddenly stopped in front of the entrance.

The car's door slowly opened, revealing a handsome white-haired man wearing formal attire while staring at his surroundings coldly.

"I've been waiting for you, cousin Elias."

At that moment, a striking dark blue-haired young man came forward. He was rather handsome and had a casual and relaxed demeanor.

While wearing a simple yet flashy attire, the blue-haired man lowered his head slightly, revealing his strong eyes under his sunglasses.

"Hajin?"

Elias raised his brows in curiosity. He slowly stood up from the car and closed the door of the car under everyone's gaze.

"Bullseye, dear cousin. My father must've introduced me to you already, but for what it's worth… I'm Hajin Sanchez, part-time lady lover, full-time life enjoyer."

Hajin smiled widely while he reached out his hand.

"So I've heard. It's nice to meet you, let's get along, Mr. Hajin."

Elias nodded while looking at Hajin silently. He also shook Hajin's hand to appraise him.

Hajin Sanchez, the son of Sancho Sanchez and the projected future head of the great noble Sanchez family. However, as one of the six noble inheritors, he was widely known for his foolish antics and casual way of living.

In comparison to the other noble inheritors, he was the strangest and most laid-back. His current strength was unknown, but considering his unprofessional behavior, it was surely inferior to the other inheritors.

—That was the evaluation of the people in the media, or the whole world for that matter.

'This person needs to be evaluated more highly.'

However, Elias thought differently as the author of the novel. Although Hajin seemed unreliable due to his personality, he was hiding terrifying talent and ability that was not inferior to the main characters.

Under the guise of a carefree laid-back personality, whether unintentional or intentional, he fooled the whole world into underestimating him.

Hajin Sanchez, one of the most talented and terrifying weapon users in humanity.

While appraising him, Elias was not surprised by what he saw. It was remarkable strength and talent, slightly inferior only to the main characters.

'My stats are stronger though...'

Hajin suddenly chuckled and patted Elias' shoulder.

"What are you getting so stiff for? Drop the honorifics, just call me Hajin. If you wish, you can call me boss instead!"

"Don't touch me so lightly. Let's go."

Elias ignored him and suddenly left the place, walking towards the entrance of the airline. Hajin laughed before following him inside the airline.

After they left, the reporters were surprised and started to discuss among themselves.

"Hey, did you manage to record that?"

"Does anyone know the kid? To be associated with Hajin Sanchez… that kid definitely isn't simple!"

"The Arcane Academy examination this time is definitely full of hidden talents! There's the Saintess who entered much earlier, the other inheritors in other cities, and some unknown faces too… in any case, this is good for humanity!"

At the entrance, inside the standard white car, Junior and the rest of the five musketeers smoked a cigarette and looked at the airlines for a while before promptly driving off.

"Let's go. We still have a business to settle."

***

Inside the airline, Elias walked across the place and saw countless young men and women standing with relaxed expressions.

Similar to him, they were Rankers at the D-Rank minimum.

"Hey, cousin Elias, you took your time. Did you do something before coming here?"

Behind him, Hajin asked with a bored yawn.

"I settled some business."

Elias answered casually. While he was walking, he suddenly stopped and raised his head to look above him.

Bzzt!

"Business, meh… I don't like it one bit. I only like two things in life, beautiful women and fighting. I prefer the former though, since you can fight them even in…"

While Hajin was talking, he was suddenly cut off by the loud sound of the extra large monitor above their heads.

[BREAKING NEWS: Chips and Stack Casino destroyed and raided by unknown people earlier tonight!]

[Consul Moretti, the well-known businessman of Trier, was discovered shot in the head and dead with a fearful expression!]

[The estimated casualties of this unknown raid cost the lives of 200 or more staff, with at least fifty Rankers! However, strangely, no customers were harmed in the process…]

[...What is happening in Trier?! What could make the well-known businessman Consul Moretti feel fear?! If you wish to find out, stay tuned to Daily Trier News…!]

Everyone on the airline was caught by surprise and looked at the wide monitor.

"Wow… just before the Academy takes us out of this place, a major event happens in Trier City of all times…"

"I'm more surprised fifty Rankers died in the raid! That's a rarely seen number even in the past few years…!"

"Something dark is brewing under Trier… It's a good thing we're leaving this city at midnight, even Rankers are not safe."

Upon seeing the news, the people inside the airlines had different reactions and expressed their surprise and relief.

"What a horrible event."

After taking a glance, Elias smiled before walking away.

"Chips and Stack Casino? Hm, I've heard of that before… I think that was my father's. I wonder how would that old miser feel about this. I surely hope he feels utter shit... oh no, wait for me, Elias!"

Hajin muttered to himself with a wicked grin before he realized that he was already left alone. He saw Elias walking from a distance and immediately ran after him.

"Hey, why did you run off before me!"

"You were just slow."

"As if, sigh, for the sake of my father I won't be angry at you anymore…"

"Yeah, sure. Goodluck with that."

"I'm going to ignore that. Anyways, let's go there and get some ice cream, I'm starving for some ice cream today for some reason…"

Elias and Hajin strolled across the airlines, exploring the large place for quite some time while other Rankers looked at them, mainly due to Hajin.

After they walked away, a white-haired girl possessing ephemeral beauty and divine blue eyes suddenly appeared on their spot and sighed.

"I felt the presence of a very… sinful man. It's a pity I was late. But… we'll surely meet again."

After saying that, the white-haired girl promptly walked away before anyone discovered her.

***

After a long while of waiting, the academy staff finally gathered all the students and let them enter the academy's plane.

In total, there were about three thousand or more young Rankers that were chosen to participate in the upcoming academy entrance examination in the City of Trier.

The academy used six planes in total. As soon as every participant in the entrance examination was inside the planes, the academy planes finally took off.

Inside one of the planes, Elias sat with Hajin beside him and looked through the mirror beside his seat with a forlorn gaze.

'The main story finally starts... Chapter 1: Rain Violetstar.'
