The gates of Mythic Union Highschool were enormous.
Golden pillars stretched toward the sky.
Thousands of students gathered in front of the academy entrance.
Some showed off their powers proudly.
Small flames danced in the palms of a boy's hand.
Another student lifted large stones with ease.
Wind swirled around a girl's body like a living creature.
These were the future elites of the Supreme Union Kingdom.
The strongest young warriors of the continent.
And among them…
One particular student was attracting attention.
But not for a good reason.
---
"Hey look."
"He actually came."
"That's Dominic Feyron."
"The Grey Stone guy?"
"Yeah, the suicide kid."
Laughter spread through the crowd.
Dominic walked calmly toward the gate.
His hands were in his pockets.
His expression was relaxed.
But inside his mind—
He was screaming.
"Great. First day and I'm already famous..."
A muscular boy blocked his path.
Tall.
Broad shoulders.
A confident smirk.
"Dominic Feyron."
His name was Rex Titan.
Stone Type: Physical Power Stone
One of the strongest freshmen.
Rex cracked his knuckles.
"You've got guts showing up here."
Dominic blinked.
"…Why?"
"Because this academy is for warriors."
Rex leaned closer.
"Not trash."
The surrounding students laughed loudly.
Dominic sighed.
"Bro."
"Yes?"
"I just woke up from dying yesterday."
"Can we schedule the bullying later?"
Some students laughed harder.
Rex's face darkened.
"You think you're funny?"
Dominic shrugged.
"A little."
---
Suddenly a cold voice echoed across the courtyard.
"Enough."
The crowd instantly went silent.
A tall man wearing academy robes walked forward.
Sharp eyes.
Cold expression.
This was Instructor Varel Draken.
A powerful Stone Vanguard.
His gaze landed on Dominic.
"…So you're the Grey Stone student."
Dominic raised a hand.
"Present."
Instructor Varel looked unimpressed.
"Students like you lower this academy's reputation."
Dominic clutched his chest dramatically.
"Ouch."
"Teacher that hurts."
The instructor ignored him.
"Today's first lesson will be combat evaluation."
Excited whispers filled the air.
Real fights.
On the first day.
Rex grinned widely.
"Perfect."
He stepped forward.
"Teacher."
"Yes."
"Let me test the Grey Stone kid."
The students erupted in cheers.
Dominic sighed deeply.
"Of course."
Instructor Varel nodded without hesitation.
"Approved."
Dominic stared at him.
"You didn't even pretend to hesitate."
---
Moments later, the arena filled with students.
Dominic stood on one side.
Rex stood on the other.
Rex's black stone power began to glow.
His muscles expanded.
Power surged through his body.
Skill: Titan Strength
The ground cracked beneath his feet.
Dominic stretched his arms lazily.
Inside his soul…
The sealed Cosmic Stone pulsed softly.
A tiny fragment of cosmic energy awakened.
Gravity shifted slightly.
Dominic smiled faintly.
'Alright.'
'Let's test this cheat.'
Instructor Varel raised his hand.
"Begin."
Rex roared and charged forward.
His fist tore through the air like a cannon.
Students gasped.
"That punch could break a wall!"
Dominic stood still.
Watching.
Waiting
.
And then—
He raised one finger.
The air around it bent slightly.
A tiny ripple in space appeared.
No one noticed.
Except the universe itself.
And Rex Titan's fist…
Was about to meet something it could never defeat.
