It is a beautiful morning with the warm sun slowly rising from the east, birds sitting on the tree branches chirping their morning songs, and a chaotic city that is already in a rush hour with cars honking their loud horns even though it is only 6:50 in the morning.
People walk about in their everyday routine as they either head to work or school, but some just do random things that can fulfill their normal yet short lives.
An alarm clock goes off very loudly and ends up being smashed into the drawer by a child who has been having nightmares recently. He sits upright on his bed while staring out of his window looking at the morning blue skies and he sighs heavily as he realizes that another day has arrived as he says in his mind 'Another tiresome day. I wonder what extremely difficult mission will we be put on this time. I haven't even recovered from that demonic beast's traumatic howling.' As he shakes the thought away.
He slowly gets off his bed to then stretch himself while hearing a loud commotion happening outside of his room with yelling and playful screaming going on.
The child who has dark purple hair, lively amethyst-purple eyes, and wearing a white T-shirt with black sweatpants goes to the closet but suddenly a boy named Zachary Arc who has blue hair and shining dark blue eyes while wearing a silver blazer uniform with black pants and Grey socks barges into his room while yelling "Ravn Nightfall, you were supposed to be at the cafeteria by 7:15!" which Ravn responds while yawning as he looks at Zachary's pocket watch being shoved into his face "I got up at 6:56, but I didn't have the energy to get out of bed, sorry." While smiling at Zachary.
Zack decides to drop the serious act and says playfully, "I was just joking. I know you do more work than the rest of us combined during our purification missions. " however Ravn puts that comment aside to ask while walking towards Zachary."What's for breakfast?" So Zack answers."We are having... umm... I don't know honestly. Also, I suggest you start waking up early, or else Rune will chew you out for it. " Zack then leaves to go downstairs to the cafeteria because he doesn't want to be part of Ravn's troubles even though they have been friends since birth.
After Ravn had put on the same uniform that Zachary was wearing, he then exits his room while softly closing the door, which made a satisfying "click." He walks through the luxurious hallway with exquisite portraits of divine beauty on the wall, glossy marble floors, long windows, and pure quartz pillars with three on each side that cost 1,000,000 Lunar Coins per pillar. Though the coins are made up of Lapis Lazuli stones that are turned into a circular shape and used as currency in the Zoul Kingdom.
Ravn walks down the long curved staircase and he sees Rune who has glossy dark red hair and glasses on her beautiful green eyes while wearing an unbuttoned burgundy blazer, a black shirt underneath, white khaki pants with their legs tucked into her dark brown boots as she stands holding a clipboard at the cafeteria door that looks like it leads to a dungeon or even a castle.
Ravn tries to enter as she is distracted by Zachary talking to her, but he fails in the end as he is swept to the floor being mid-air to then be smashed into the ground in his abdomen by Rune's hardened fists. His abdomen is comically steaming from Rune's punch, and she grabs him by his collar while slapping his face to wake him up since she knocked him out cold. Zachary somewhat smirks as he sees his friend shaken vigorously by Rune since the slapping didn't wake Ravn up.
Four minutes later, Ravn wakes up to then be yelled in his by Rune, "Do you know what time it is! You are to be here before 7:15!" And Ravn apologizes as he is on his knees. Rune then sighs while patting his head because she feels somewhat terrible although she acts and looks cold however she is a warm person, but it's just that she has a difficult time expressing her emotions.
Ravn and Zachary enter the cafeteria as they both witness the massive space full of children dressed in silver blazers, and them eating Oatmeal with nuts, berries, and a drizzle of honey Whole grain toast with avocado, eggs, and tomato. A small child named Julia waves her hand, trying to gain Zachary's attention as her orange eyes sparkle with joy because she sees him. Zachary drags Ravn with him, and he sees her messy short black hair, so he grabs a comb out from a random trainee's hair to fix Julia's messy hair.
After Ravn had finished fixing Julia's hair, Zachary noticed that Ravn was secretly a neat freak. As Ravn finishes eating his breakfast, Julia asks if he could help her master the Luminous Technique which is a purification ability to weaken demonic beasts while also enhancing nearby allies, and Ravn agrees to it since he already mastered it when he was 7 years old.
As Ravn, Zachary, and Julia walk in the halls, a painful scream is heard throughout the corridors of the building, as Zachary says jokingly, "Your father has painful healing techniques." "Eh, I mean... they do heal in the blink of an eye, so I don't see the problem except for the painful process," said Ravn.
Julia jumps on Ravn's back while saying, "Hurry up! I wanna grow stronger so I can join you on your missions." But Ravn's eyes turn cold with him saying coldly, "I suggest you don't. You are still young to see what I have seen. Being strong doesn't matter when your soul energy runs out and abandoned by your teammates." But Zachary lightly slaps Ravn's shoulder while saying "That's enough. Just help her master the technique will ya." "Huh?!" said Ravn frustratedly, but they both wholesomely laugh together in the end.
