In a small house not too far from Bieger academy, lived siblings had the power to control time. Those siblings were Xiao Xiao and her sister.
Xiao Xiao was absorbed in reading a history book about the Elementalist knights when she heard a scream from her sister. Xiao Xiao immediately closed her book and ran towards her sister.
Her sister's body floated by being covered in elemental wind energy belonging to someone. And when the sister noticed the presence of her younger sister, she shouted.
"RUN!!"
Xiao Xiao didn't immediately run, but she stopped the time instead. Xiao Xiao was relieved when time stopped, but her relief only lasted for a moment when she felt someone clutched her body.
She noticed her body had been bound and floated in mid-air. The time returned to normal automatically.
There was no way an ordinary Elementalist could move in frozen time. So why the man could move freely? Unless... he was an Elementalist knight?
"Impossible!" screamed her in horror. "You... You are the Elementalist knight. Why? Why do you attack us?" Xiao Xiao didn't believe that a legendary knight who supposed to be a human' protector could hurt an ordinary citizen.
"..." the white knight did not answer. He just took out a container and began the process of transferring energy.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Xiao Xiao saw her sister was screaming in pain and realized that her sister's energy was gradually transferred into the container.
She had heard that someone was hunting the time-controllers' energy. This was the reason why all time-controllers decided not to use their power in public.
But alas, she never knew the one who wanted their energy was the white knight, the best tracker in the world.
No matter they had tried to hide their power, the white knight would always find them without fail.
Xiao Xiao tried to get out of the wind's clutch with all her strength. She cried while calling her sister and beg the man to let them go. She cried harder when she saw her older sister's body limp and lifeless.
"NO!!! BIG SIS!!"
And finally, she felt something uncomfortable in her body. She began to feel ache all over her body, making her cried in pain out loud.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
It felt like a thousand knife chopped her body. It felt like a thousand needles pierce her body endlessly.
She screamed out loud in the hope someone heard her cried. Alas, no one came. She was alone, and she was dying.
Some black spots appeared in her sights till she could see nothing. That moment, she breathed her last and die.
After all the two young women's energy moved into the container, the white knight left the two dead bodies lying on the road mercilessly.
The next day, he watched the next target, the dying time-controller, who was a knight's inamorata. He concealed his energy so that the other knights wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Even though he received an order not to touch this weak time-controller, he wanted to take the girl energy.
He wanted to take the time-controller's energy as much as possible to save his inamorata.
But he was shocked that he found not only one or two, but more than three Elementalist knights in Bieger Academy!
How many Elementalist knights are there?

"Niken, I need to give you an earful speech. Why did you agree to be teamed up with one of the most frightening Elementalist and that too from a wolf clan? Are you CRAZY??"
Niken was bemused on how talkative of Karyn. How could she talk without taking a break?
"Well, I.."
"Enough!" cut Karyn. "I will let it go since Shin Ha also in our group."
Niken chuckled, "Forgive me. But as you can see, Kazuto was not as frightening as he seemed. Isn't senior Shin Ha also saying good things about Kazuto?" Thought Niken quite curious as to why Shin Ha had to explain her good things about the man.
Even though Shin Ha didn't tell her, Niken already knew Kazuto was not a bad person.
"Yes, that is a relief even though I don't understand why senior Shin Ha bothered to make Kazuto's image better. I feel they have a certain purpose."
"What purpose?"
"How should I know?" Karyn glared back to ask.
"What are you talking about? It seems very exciting." Shin Ha approached them with a smile followed by Kazuto behind him.
"There is nothing important," Karyn answered with a nervous laugh.
"What are we going to hunt today?" this time, it was Niken who asked.
"How about we start the easiest? Rabbits. There are lots of rabbits hanging around if we go up the hill over there." Shin Ha explained, pointing to a place where the road was rather high.
"Does it have to be a rabbit? I don't want any rabbit to get killed right in front of my eyes." Niken protested.
Uhm... It's only a rabbit, okay? No need to be that concern. Besides, they were in the hunting area!
But Shin Ha didn't speak anymore and was thinking something else.
"Alright. How about deer?"
"No."
"Wild bear?"
"No."
"Birds then."
"No!"
What the?! Then what kind of animal they need to hunt?
