The Villain's Story

"Ah!"

Alex hurriedly stood up in surprise, however, his head collided with the head of the golden-eyed old man looking down at him.

*Bam*

Their foreheads hit each other, yet it was surprisingly Alex who got knocked out, The old man didn't even flinch or move even the tiniest bit when their foreheads hit each other.

Alex had passed out from the collision and his forehead was now a little bit red as if he had smashed his head into a metal wall.

"Oh."

The old man muttered, He placed his hand on Alex's chest, precisely where his heart would be located, His finger shone with a golden hue and, Alex like his body had been zapped by lightning, Immediately woke up and gasped for breath.

"Gasp!What the fuck?!"

Alex screamed because he truly was surprised at the jolt of electricity that he had just felt wake him up.

"Don't curse in front of your elder's brat."

An aged yet manly voice sounded from behind him, It belonged to the old man who had a forehead made of metal.

Alex looked at the old man and closely examined him.

He stood at a height of nearly two meters, Had an incredible well-built frame that could be seen because of the tight grey shirt and Black pants that he had on. A well-kept grey beard and hair.

The most notable thing about him would be his eyes which shone with a golden hue.

"Now, Mind showing me your affinity again?"

No reply came from the confused Alex, Seeing him not respond, the old man asked again.

"Excuse me, Young man, Would you mind showing me your space affinity again?"

'Space?'

Alex thought, He didn't have a space affinity, he had no affinity.

the only one in this entire academy who had a spatial affinity was...

"...the rank first?"

Muttered Alex with confusion in his voice.

'Is he perhaps confusing me for the rank first?'

As far as he knew, the only human to have ever awakened the Spatial was the number one ranked first year.

The particular first year, who like him, also came to train every day together with him in the training center at night, Even though he probably had an entire training room to himself in his dorm.

'Come to think of it, why does he even come here to train?'

"Yes, you are the rumored rank first who has the space affinity correct?"

The voice of the old man was heard again.

Alex finally responded to clear the misunderstanding.

"Umm, that's not me...sir?"

He spoke in a hushed voice near the end because he did not know how to address the old man properly.

"It's not you? Then why is your affinity color like that? I haven't seen anyone with grey color for their affinity."

The old man inquired.

The old man had never seen the spatial element being used by a human, so he of course didn't know it possessed an astral blue color, unlike the grey from the null affinity with Alex.

"Hmmm, Then, what's your name and affinity, young man?"

The old man inquired once more, but this time there was an odd shine in his eyes.

It was as if he was expecting something surprising to be heard from Alex's Mouth.

"Alexander Wright and... I have no affinity sir."

"Wright? Do you mean that family of lawyers?"

"...yes"

Talking about his family was not a good topic for Alex, It soured his mood just by thinking about them.

"And what did you mean by no affinity?"

It was clear that the old man had his interest peaked.

"I have no affinity at all sir."

"Hah? How can that be possible?"

After he said that, his eyes shone a brilliant golden hue, and golden electricity danced around his eyes.

Under the gaze of those golden eyes, Alex felt naked as if all of his secrets had been seen right through.

"But you do have an affinity?"

The old man muttered again, However this time the glow around his eyes became even brighter.

"Null Affinity?...interesting?"

This was the first time the old man had heard of the Null Affinity. He had heard about space from His dear friend Oliver, the principal of Shield had told him about this Alan Peccator that was the first to awaken the Spatial affinity.

Although he now regretted not asking for his features. He had mistaken another young lad as Alan Peccator.

...but,

The old man glanced at the dual king fu blades that had been dropped by Alex before he laid down.

Walking up to them, he carefully picked them up and said.

"Tsk, tsk, Treating your weapon so badly."

After that, He just held on to the two blades and approached Alex with them.

"Take them, and treat them with care as if they were your children."

He handed Alex the blades and continued to mutter to himself.

"Hmmm, Null affinity, Space affinity...

Damn that Old Coot, he should have told me there were two students with special affinities this year."

"Umm. Who are you, Sir?"

As he was muttering to himself, The Old man Heard Alex's voice once again.

After pondering for a bit, The old man finally answered.

"Arken Miller is the name."

huh?

Time paused inside Alex's mind. Arken Miller? Wasn't that the name of the Missing Sword Saint?

'No, No it can't be, he's supposed to Be MIA(missing in action)'

"I'm also called the Sword Saint."

Boom-

Alex's mind stopped. He was trying to process what the old man had just said.

He was too shocked to even respond quickly. Who wouldn't be when they supposedly met a hero highly regarded as one of the strongest humans to live?

And finally after a few seconds, his mind had processed the fact that he had met the Sword Saint.

And his response?

"Hah?!"

Alex exclaimed in surprise, he truly could not believe this.

The voice of the Old Man, who he now knew was the sword saint Arken Miller, Was heard again.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Alex Wright."
