The next day, within the hideout of a gang, a young man with light skin and shaggy brown hair can seen sitting on top a pile of bodies underneath him.
The young man was wearing a long-sleeved, blue shirt and black trousers tucked into black trench boots. He was also wearing a black robe which had golden lining and a insignia of the 9th division over his left pec.
-"What power."
-"What kind of magic was that?"
The people underneath the young man said as they groaned in pain. Apparently, these were the members of the gang and they had been defeated by the young man nonchalantly sitting on them.
"Now then... How do you want to die?" The young man asked as he stepped on the face of one of the criminals.
"P-p-please don't kill me!! I swear on my mother that won't commit anymore crimes!!" The criminal pleaded to the young man who was rudely stepping on his face.
"Nah, this time I won't kill you. Why.... you ask?" The young mage said as he brought out a small item from his pocket.
"It's because It's May's birthday today." He said with a smile as blood dripped from his nose while he looked at the picture of his little girl on the necklace.
"Huh?" The man being stepped on, voiced out in confusion.
"Hey! Wish my May a happy birthday." The mage said as he raised his foot and stepped on the man again.
"Who the fuck is that? The man being stepped on thought as he wondered who the fuck is May.
"Make it a magnificent celebration! Celebrate with all your might! Then die!" The mage said with a fierce look.
"So we are going to die."
All the criminals thought as they heard the young mage's words. Why did he say he will spare them and then say he will kill them moments later? Why did he had to torment then like this?

Several minutes later, the young man could be seen walking on the streets of Silver town while carrying three bags filled of toys with a specific destination in mind.
The Church
The church in silver city was also a facility that houses several orphans which is run by the priest.
You must wondering why this young man would be going to the church with three filled with toys. The answer was because his little sister, May is currently reside in the church.
Apparently, after a certain incident where this young man that attacked a noble house, he sent to prison to pay for his crimes. Thus, causing his little sister, May to be sent to the orphanage since their parents died in an accident and her only relative was sent away.
The notion of visiting his sister brings so much joy to him that his nose was bleeding.
"My beloved May, I just finished my job I was doing. Being a magic knight is tough, but for you I will walk through the deepest part of hell and back.
The reason a former criminal like me can live a decent live.... is because of you my beautiful, beloved angel May. And to think I'll be able to spend this blessed day with you.
I pray that you'll forgive this brother of yours, for being late in such a day. I bought toys that you might like, so please forgive me." These were the young man thoughts as he headed to the church.
Taking a turn to the right, his gaze fell upon a handsome young man with spiky black hair and grey eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt with red design, white baggy trousers, black boots and a white scarf with scale-like patterns.
He was playing with a three kids whom he was spinning. He saw a young woman with long dark brown hair and blue eyes wearing a common white dress with a dark robe over her shoulders watching them with a small girl by the side.
Taking a closer look at small girl, she looked she would be around 10 years. She had short black hair that is swept to the left side, black eyes and she was wearing a blue dress.
Then he quickly recognized this girl as his little sister, May. How could he forget his lovely little sister? It was impossible.
"Alright May, it's you turn." Kai said with a bright smile as he approached May to carry her.
"Yaaay!!" May yelled with excitement as she ran towards Kai. But before she could reach him.
Bang!
Kai received a kick in his back and fell on the ground with force.
"Uh...James?" May voiced out as she recognized her brother.
"Get away from my sister, you bastard!" James said with a fierce look as he gaze fell upon Kai slowly getting up.
"HEY! What's the big deal?" Kai said with a look of anger as a vine appeared on his forehead.
"That's what I was about to ask you, pal! What the hell are going with my little sister?!!" James said with a fierce as both him and Kai came face to face with each other with both of them ready to pounce on the other.
"James stop that! Stop being mean to Kai, he's going to be my husband!!" May called out to her brother and declared.
But her happy words had a devastating effect on James heart. His heart couldn't withstand his sister words and crumbled to pieces. He was dumbfounded by his sister's words. How could she say that? was what he was thinking.
"Geez, why are you guys being so loud" A voice suddenly called out.
Upon that, Both Kai and James gaze fell upon the person who called out. What stood in their line of sight was a elderly woman around her mid 60s with short, light-colored hair and she was wearing a nun attire.
"May! Time's up, we need to return to the church." The elderly woman said with a calm smile.
"Sister!" May voiced out as she saw the woman before her. Upon that, The elderly woman's gaze shifted to James and she slightly frowned.
"Oh, you did come. Gosh." The sister voiced out.
"Old Hag." James said upon hearing the sister's words.
"I will have you call me by my proper title." She replied to James rude words.
"I'm about to go on a date with May, so go back to the church by yourself, Old hag." James spoke out.
"Not a chance, you should be the one going, you sister loving freak." The sister paused before saying,
"Just having you around is a bad influence on May. After all this time, you still haven't changed. You still have that bad attitude, you give people dirty looks and you have a filthy mouth." The sister stated out.
"What was that, Bitch?" James said out
"See what I mean?"
"Shut up and die already!"
"How could you say that to an elderly woman like me, you Fool!"
"Oh please... A devil like you will live for another millennia."
"Stop treating people like demons, you bastard."
"Shut your A-hole, You mafia sister."
The sister and James argued with each other while throwing insults here and there.
"Anyway, you need to leave. May! we're going now." The sister said as she reached out for May.
"James, Kai, See you later." May said as she left with the sister.
"Nooooo! Mary!" James yelled out as he fell to the floor. Kai looked at James with disgust in eyes upon seeing his reaction.
"Hey Kai! Would you like to spend the night?" Emily suddenly asked.
"I can? Sure, I would love to." Kai said as he followed Emily and her siblings to their apartment.
