With her class set attire, a white robe with a hood, white-golden wooden staff and her stunning face, there is another perk in getting stronger and that is, you're also getting more beautiful and more handsome, she is originally beautiful from the start, and with the awakening of mana, she's also getting more beautiful. She can draw stares and adoration from others, but there is this one man, that isn't even fascinated in her.
She has this hidden desire to protect this man, but all she can do is, stand there and watch what is happening in his surroundings without helping him at all. He is cold and aloof before but atleast at that time he has emotions, he just hid them but now.... He throws them away, he eradicated the thing called emotions and feeling.
She want to help him atleast restore that. And that is very hard thing to do. Because, the one who killed your family isn't even the apocalypse or even an alien let's say, but a fellow human, not once but twice.
Lumi's father was killed by his rival companies, an indirect killing. And Lumi take revenge on them, eradicating their whole family and taking the riches of their company, but this didn't bring any joy but emptiness.
She want him for herself, she has this chance before to melt and take a place in his heart, but the humanity itself is the one that steal her opportunity. She is feeling deep anger on the humanity. But she can't vent on them, because this might destroy the plans of Lumi, and he might just disappear or discard her.
She wants to get strong too. Not for herself but for Lumi. The desire to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him.
And now, at the shore, she is trying to grow stronger by practicing, like the control over mana, and it's output. Her eyes filled with determination and sometimes glowing dark eerily. Then her eyes were replaced by happiness and joy suddenly. She turn her head in the ocean and she can see, one man and a big white wolf standing in a glacier.
She straightened her back and give a professional attitude of a secretary.

Pentagon
George and Ray we're sitting in a large round table. They were waiting for the invited guest to come.
One by one they started entering. A beautiful woman with a fiery aura around her entered a room, a man with a gloomy atmosphere also entered.
A monk looking man, a man holding a clock and a bunch of watches on his wrist. Howls and roar were heard with man accompanying them, an ordinary looking guy, a brown man colored skin also enters.
One by one, they started coming, they sat in each chair and their confidants standing behind them. There are 9 chairs and 8 seats were taken already.
"Heh, a meeting with you all huh. I can say, I'm really surprised." The brown man colored skin said.
"Shut up muscle head, it's because you're not thinking." The fiery woman answer him.
"But I'm also surprised though." The monk intervenes
"Who cares about you?" She snapped back at the monk.
"Ahaha, don't be so angry woman." The man with a beast platoon said.
"Sigh, here we go again." The man holding a clock said tiredly.
"Why he isn't here yet?" The fiery woman suddenly asked.
"Sigh, Carolina, he might be dead already why are you wasting time about him?" The brown-skinned guy said.
"Dead? You're the one who should be dead already, with the kind of strength you have you might have a hard time killing a single zombie. Hmph." The fiery woman glared at the man.
"We'll see about that."
"He's not dead. I don't know why he is late but he must have been busy if he's late." George said.
"When will this start? If he arrives? What if he won't arrive?" The gloomy man said.
"Then we'll start at 15 minutes from now. If he won't arrive till then, then we will start." Ray said, recieving a few nods from them.
"Okay then."
"Hmph."
15 minutes later*
"Well then, we'll start right now, since he will not arrive.
"I called you here, because, I want your help. Help to stabilize this world, the old laws are gone, the world needed it's new laws. And us, we will make the rules for the world.
"The world will obey the rules that we made to protect them, and we will be the protectors of the world also. And to protect the weak.
"So, please, help me, build a new law for the better world." He sincerely told them his wishes, it might sound cliché but this is his real feelings, a sense of justice, to protect the weak is his real feelings.
"Then tell us why we will help you. No, why I will help you."
"Because, if you don't, we will make you." He said coldly. His eyes gleaming with a cold light, and Ray stood up. Lightning and thunder rumble around his body, while George summon his large great sword, emitting a sharp aura.
They also stood up, ready for any fight that will happen. Then the beast platoon guy said. "With the numbers you have, do you think the two of you can make us surrender to you? Come, my friends." He snorted at them and call his horde to his side.
"Oh really, Law?" George said with sarcasm in his voice.
!!!
2 people distance away from them, and that is, Rafar, and Kagami, the brown skinned man, and the gloomy looking man.
"You....are submitting to them?" He ask, shocked by what he saw. Rafar and Kagami, these two never surrender to anyone between the 9 of them. 'No not just the two of them, even us won't surrender to them. So why would they?'
He's puzzled. "Surrendering to George huh. I don't know what you plan but that means between us 9, you two are now at the bottom. Makes us 7 only." He tried to irritate the two of them.
"We didn't surrender, he gave us an offer. Offer that you can't refuse." He vaguely said.
"Then, I'll show you guys that you made a wrong decision." His eyes coldly looking at them.
He is about to rush at them with his horde but suddenly, all of them felt it.
!!!
Snowflakes... is falling. It is beautiful, but bizarre at the same time.
"Snow.....?" Carolina muttered. Because it is quite everyone hear it.
Tak Tak Tak
Footsteps rang through out the hall.
Then they saw. A handsome man with a blindfold, snowflakes raining around his body, and some ice in his body. A Priestess and a Big White Wolf enters with the man.
"What a mess....." He said looking around still wearing a blindfold.
"Oh ho~. George, Ray, Carolina, Law, Kagami, Joseph, Wei and Rafar. Is this some kind of reunion?" He said with complete cynicism in his voice.
All of them have different reactions, some frown, some cold light passed through their eyes. And Carolina's aura started to heat up the surroundings.
"Hmm...." He hums then he flicks his fingers and an ice throne rose from the ground then he sits in it.
This agitate even more. Then Lumi said. "Go on, continue. I will just watch from here."
He ordered them like they are his subjects.
