???'s POV
I will kill him. This is for my master's father. I said those words while sitting on my bed at my master's house. It's been 4 years since my teacher, Louis-sensei, died, and I had been under the care of Master Demon Blood since I had nowhere else to go nor a way to make a living. But, sometimes, I felt guilty of betraying my deceased teacher.
My name is Sha Sakiyama, a master of shadows and shadow magic. I am 26 years old. For as long as I can remember, my parents died when I was in middle school, and I was taken in by an orphanage until I reached legal age of 18.
Once I left the orphanage, I started my training under Louis Santos, a mage from the Philippines, for 4 years. My original goal is to be a shadow mage. He was kind and nice despite being a foreigner and teaches me a lot about his cultural values and morality.
But, his death…it's so unacceptable for me. Why is this happening to me? I'm in pain. But, someone named Demon Blood, a wealthy businessman, had taken me in and took care of me in my emotional distress. He even took care of the funeral and cremation fees for my fallen teacher.
Now, I don't know whether I should do this for my new master. But I hoped that young man, Hoshi, or rather, Kuro, will be alright.
After saying my thoughts, I was called by Demon Blood for dinner, and I left my room in response.
