Dion was sitting on the roof of Lyna's house watching the night sky filled with glittering stars. The wind caressed his skin and shook his robe. But he was a bit absentminded. The conversation they had in the evening was still echoing ears and fresh in his head.

THE PAST…
Lyna's expression became serious, "That's what happens when a person with destroyed runes tries to become a dark sorcerer. Now, you know the reason why I never wanted to allow you into the academy, right?"
"I have a few guesses but can you clarify?" Dion asked politely.
"The reason why people with destroyed runes aren't allowed into the academy is because anytime their runes connect with the mana, it is accompanied by a harsh pain. Anytime they want to cast a spell, the runes and blood connect to the mana, and the pain returns. The pain has been tested to be unbearable for a long time, and it continues until they rebuild their lost runes. But you know why yours is the worst?"
