CHAPTER 11: THE FIRST NIGHT

Dorm 13 slept. Not the sleep of slaves, who sleep with one eye open listening for guards. This was deep sleep. Real sleep. On real beds.Jin did not sleep. Monarchs don't sleep when assassins are coming.On the roof, his Griffin shadow shivered. Its feathers stood up.`Master... wind smells like blood,` Griffin said through shadow link. `Not human blood. Shadow blood.`Jin stood. Two moons were bright over Arcadia. Too bright. The forest beyond Dorm 13 was too quiet. No crickets."They're here," Jin whispered.Three Shadow Killers. A-Rank. From Demon King Azazel himself. Jin could feel them now - they were not hiding in trees. They were hiding IN the shadows of Dorm 13 itself. Inside the dorm's own darkness.Clever. Normal mages can't see them. But Jin IS shadow.Downstairs, in the big hall, 100 ex-slaves slept on the ground floor. Little Mira slept with Knight shadow curled around her like a giant dog. Knight suddenly raised his head. Growled low. Mira woke up."Doggy?" she whispere

CHAPTER 12: THE KINGDOM'S REPLY

Dawn came to Dorm 13 with a body hanging on the gate.The Shadow Killer's black mask was still on. The paper on his chest flapped in wind. It said in Jin's handwriting:DEMON KING'S DOGS ARE NOT WELCOME IN SHADOW CLASS.- SHADOW KING JINBy 7 AM, the whole Arcadia Academy saw it.Nobles on their way to Main Class stopped. Pointed. Whispered."Is that... A-Rank? Dead?""Who killed it?""Dorm 13? The Ghost Dorm?"Inside Dorm 13, 100 ex-slaves did not hide. For the first time in their lives, they ate breakfast at the main table, not on floor. They wore clean clothes Jin bought yesterday. They sat like students.Mira sat on Knight's lap, eating bread. Knight, the giant shadow in armor, carefully fed her small bites.Varok stood at gate, in new guard uniform, chest out. He was proud. Yesterday he was slave guard. Today he was Captain of Shadow Kingdom's gate.Leon did not sleep all night. He was writing letters. Fast."Jin, are you crazy?" Leon said, running to Jin who was on roof meditati

CHAPTER 13 - BLOOD OF THE MONARCH

The Arena was silent. Not because of S-Rank Demon Envoys bleeding on the ground.Because of Jin's eyes.Black flame. Not A-Rank black. Monarch black. The kind of black that ate light.Vice-Master Elara descended from high seat. She did not walk stairs. She floated, her S+ wind magic making no sound.She stopped between Jin and the Demon Envoys."Envoy Kraz," she said to the horned Demon, her voice sweet but every student felt pressure. "You came for a student. You are leaving with a message. That is fair trade."Kraz wiped blood from his ear. His pride was broken more than his eardrum. Three S-Rank Demons forced to knees by a slave in front of 500 nobles."This human is Demon property," Kraz growled, pointing at Ren in Jin's arms. "He escaped mine-7!"Elara smiled. "Arcadia law. If a slave steps into Arena seeking asylum and a Class leader accepts him, he is free. You know law, Kraz. You helped write it 10 years ago."She turned to crowd."From today, Ren, D-Rank, is student of Shadow

CHAPTER 14 - COUNCIL OF BLADES

Arcadia Academy Council Hall was not a hall. It was a coliseum of judgment.100 meters round. 12 thrones for 12 Class Leaders. S-Rank to A-Rank aura everywhere. In center, Headmaster's empty throne - Headmaster never came, only his voice.And in middle of that circle, stood Jin. Alone."Ex-slave Jin," said Lady Valeria, Leader of Main Class, Gold armor. S-Rank. She looked at Jin like looking at dirt. "You hanged Demon King's envoy on Academy gate. You crippled three S-Rank Demon Envoys. You have given Demon King reason for war. Explain why we should not expel you and give you to Azazel."Leon, sitting behind in his father's throne - Leader of Merchant Class - wanted to stand but his father held his shoulder. "Don't. You die too."Jin did not bow. Kings don't bow in circles."I killed a dog that entered my Kingdom," Jin said calmly. "Demon King sent assassin A-Rank to kill my people at night. I left body as message. As any King would.""Your Kingdom?" Valeria laughed. "Dorm 13? The Gho
