Mystical Fantasy : The Lazy Real Young Master [EN]

Fani froze.

She quickly hid behind Dedy, not exactly eager to run into the Virellano family right now. She’d already told them she was in a hurry. If they saw she was still here, things would only get awkward.

Seeing she still had a chance to leave, she spoke in a low voice.

"I should get going first, Mr. Dedy. Please give this cake to Al... and tell him what I said."

Dedy didn’t understand why Fani seemed so rushed, but he wasn’t the type to pry. He simply nodded.

Meanwhile, the Virellano family walked past the area and headed toward the front lounge.

Edward and Vianna carried David inside, treating him as if he were seriously injured, even though he was perfectly fine.

They had even called the family doctor.

Watching from a distance, Fani could only let out a quiet sigh.

"I never thought someone could be tested by life like this..." she murmured.

The next moment, her body dissolved into a cloud of blood mist before disappearing into the darkness.

Meanwhile...

Sitting alone on a garden bench, Dedy gazed up at the night sky.

Lately, he’d found himself wandering around the estate far more often than before. Back then, he would shut himself away, training in secret. But now...

His eyes drifted toward the grand mansion.

It looked warm and welcoming from the outside.

Yet somehow, it still felt cold...

At least for the young man Dedy now considered his boss.

His gaze shifted to the cakes beside him—one he had brought himself, and the other Fani had entrusted to him.

"The ironic part..." he muttered, "is that we’re the ones getting sentimental, while the person it’s all for doesn’t even care about things like this."

He fell silent for a moment before chuckling softly.

"I wonder... if he doesn’t even care much about his own biological family, is there anyone in this world he truly cares about?"

With that thought, Dedy stood and headed back inside...

Waiting for Al, who still hadn’t come home.

---

A while later...

Fani was already far from the Virellano estate, though the mansion was still visible in the distance as she made her way toward the hills on her route home.

In her Blood Mist form, she glided effortlessly between buildings and through the trees, completely unnoticed.

Her mind was still occupied with the conversation she’d had with Al.

Someone who understood Blood Magic.

She needed to get home as soon as possible and contact that relative.

With that thought, she picked up speed.

Then...

Something unusual made her stop.

In the distance, on the western side of an empty lot near the edge of the city forest, a group of people was loading something onto a large truck.

They worked in complete silence, yet with remarkable precision.

One by one, they carefully lifted shimmering stones that emitted a faint black-and-white glow.

Even from this far away, Fani could feel them.

Those weren’t ordinary rocks.

Their aura... pulsed with life, as though something immense was sealed inside.

And it wasn’t just the stones.

Those people...

They were no ordinary men.

Her instincts immediately screamed that something was wrong.

Suppressing her aura even further, Fani quietly moved closer until she found the perfect vantage point behind a large tree.

Then she listened.

"Are we really going to start a war in this city?" a large masked man asked while inspecting the cargo on the truck.

"Shh... Stop asking questions and just do your job," another man whispered, glancing around cautiously.

For a while, Fani learned very little.

Mostly warnings to keep quiet...

And repeated mentions of a coming war.

Then—

"Enough with the questions. Just remember this. If you’ve got a family, get them out of the city for a while. Especially if they live near Bahari Academy."

"Seriously? But I heard this whole operation is to eliminate some high school kid. Poor guy. I think his name was... Al or something."

"That’s enough. Don’t talk about it anymore. Even if he’s just a high school student, nobody launches a full-scale operation unless the target is dangerous. Keep your mouth shut and get back to work."

"Yeah... you’ve got a point. Heh, alright."

The revelation made Fani freeze.

She almost gasped out loud.

Al...? No way... Are they talking about Boss?

Hmph... It... was possible actually. With Boss’s strength, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had countless powerful enemies.

And hadn’t he mentioned having an organization?

Then why didn’t he tell me?

Wouldn’t it be easier to have his own subordinates handle this instead of making me stay up all night these past few days? Hmph...

And he didn’t even invite me to join his organization.

What’s wrong with me?

Completely absorbed in her silent complaints, Fani failed to notice someone approaching from behind.

"Oh?"

A deep voice suddenly echoed at her back.

"So that’s the strange presence I was sensing..."

"So you were the source."

Fani turned toward the voice but didn’t react immediately. She wanted to figure out what was happening first.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have the luxury of time.

Whoever it was had already locked onto her.

A powerful hand shot toward her, trying to seize her.

Realizing the danger, Fani instantly darted backward.

But in the blink of an eye—

The man was already standing right in front of her.

"...?!"

There was no doubt anymore.

She’d been discovered.

I never thought someone here could detect me so easily. Damn it... she cursed inwardly.

Her Blood Mist form began to materialize.

Dark crimson mist wrapped around her arms as she raised her guard toward the incoming attack.

Whoosh!

Fani spun away, narrowly dodging the strike.

The man landed effortlessly on a tree branch before turning to face her.

"So it’s a beautiful young lady." He chuckled. "No wonder I noticed you so easily."

Fani was caught slightly off guard.

Is this guy... a pervert?

"Tch..."

She steadied her aura.

Dark crimson energy enveloped her body, making her look like a young woman cloaked in blood-red shadows.

"You’d better explain why you attacked me."

Her aura grew even darker.

"...Or you’ll pay for this."

The burly man, dressed in a black cloak and wearing a mask, merely smirked.

"My, my, beautiful lady." His tone remained completely casual. "Shouldn’t I be the one asking why you were spying on us?"

Fani didn’t answer.

She simply narrowed her eyes.

Without looking around, she could already sense it.

The others had quietly surrounded the area.

The masked man grinned, his gaze carrying an unmistakably lecherous edge.

"Haha... not much of a talker, huh? Anyway..." He shrugged. "We don’t have time to waste here."

"So let’s finish this."

Without another word, he shot forward.

Fani immediately met him head-on.

A fierce one-on-one battle erupted.

It wasn’t because the others refused to interfere.

Both they—and Fani herself—knew one thing.

This man...

Was incredibly strong.

"Ugh!"

She grunted every time another heavy blow connected.

Still...

He never aimed for a killing strike.

It felt more like...

He was toying with her.

Then—

Grab!

Fani’s body was caught. Or more accurately... forced into his embrace.

The man burst into laughter, his vulgar gaze roaming over her.

"I knew it." He laughed. "Looks plain at first glance, but this body’s absolutely top-notch."

"You...!"

Her body instantly dissolved back into Blood Mist, slipping free from his grasp.

"Damn it... he’s strong."

The masked man only laughed harder.

Soon, the others watching from the sidelines joined in.

"Hah... Just touching you for a moment wasn’t nearly enough." He licked his lips before chuckling. "I’d love to spend more time enjoying that body."

His eyes narrowed.

"But unfortunately..."

"...everyone who witnessed tonight’s events has to die."

Fani silently raised her guard again.

This time...

She began drawing out more of her power.

The masked man rushed in once more.

Magic energy erupted around his body, making him even faster and stronger.

Unlike before...

His killing intent was unmistakable.

The battle exploded once again.

More brutal.

More dangerous.

Fani was struck repeatedly.

She was slammed into the ground...

Then blasted backward by an overwhelming punch.

A relentless barrage of attacks forced her to retreat over and over.

"Damn..."

Blood trickled down the side of her forehead.

Her breathing grew ragged.

Her body felt unbearably heavy.

"If only I could fully utilize my Vampire Form..."

Then she remembered.

Inside the small pouch at her waist...

Al’s blood.

Taking advantage of a brief opening, she quickly drank it.

Immediately—

Power surged through her body.

Her savage instincts awakened.

"...Thank you, Boss," she whispered.

This time, when the masked man attacked—

She brushed his strike aside with surprising ease.

The masked man and the others froze.

They could clearly feel it.

Somehow...

Fani had become much stronger.

"What the hell happened?" the man asked, still sounding relaxed, though uncertainty had finally crept into his voice.

"Hey, young lady... what did you just drink?"

"A potion?"

"...Some kind of aphrodisiac?"

Even with this newfound strength, Fani wasn’t completely confident she could win.

But her Vampire Form was beginning to manifest.

Sharp fangs emerged.

Small black protrusions appeared from her back—the beginnings of wings.

Her ears grew slightly pointed.

Her eyes glowed a deep crimson.

The blood-black mist surrounding her body became denser than before.

No longer just vapor...

It seemed to possess actual weight.

"Is... she even human?"

"What happened to her body?"

"I don’t think she’s human..."

The whispers of the men watching from behind the trees spread through the forest.

"I didn’t expect..." Fani said quietly, "...that you’d actually force me to reveal my true power."

Her crimson eyes glowed ominously.

"But rest assured..."

She raised one hand.

"...just as you want me dead tonight..."

"...I want the same for you."

The masked man snorted.

At the same time, his aura surged violently.

The others also stepped forward, preparing themselves.

"Then take this!"

A massive wave of black-and-crimson mist erupted from Fani.

It expanded like a tidal wave, swallowing the forest in an instant.

The surrounding air darkened.

The trees trembled violently.

Leaves withered the moment they touched the mist, while the ground itself seemed to lose all color beneath its shadow.

The eerie cloud carried no visible force...

Yet it felt horrifyingly alive.

Like countless invisible tendrils were creeping beneath their skin.

BWOOOOSH!!

"Defend yourselves!"

The masked men immediately raised barriers and protective spells, convinced a devastating attack was about to crash into them.

But...

Nothing exploded.

No shockwave.

No destructive impact.

Instead—

"...?!"

Every single one of them stiffened.

Their blood...

It was being disturbed from within.

Their hearts skipped beats.

Blood vessels throbbed painfully.

Energy circulation became erratic, as if something inside their own bodies had begun rebelling against them.

"What the hell is this?!"

"My blood...!"

"I can’t control my aura!"

The strange sensation lasted only a few seconds.

When the black mist finally dispersed...

Fani was gone.

"Damn it!"

"She escaped!"

"Watch out!"

One of the men shouted.

The burly masked man frowned before quickly regaining his composure.

"Relax."

He scanned the surroundings.

"She couldn’t have gotten far."

He pointed into the forest.

"Half of you come with me."

"The rest stay here, finish loading everything, and clean up the scene."

"Move!"

The group immediately split apart and rushed off in every direction.

---

Meanwhile...

Fani’s breathing grew heavier.

"I can’t believe I had to use that skill here..."

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"...Good thing Boss’s blood amplified it."

She clicked her tongue.

"Tch... they’re dangerous."

"I need to find somewhere safe."

Flying through the night in her human form, she hurriedly pulled out her phone.

She quickly found Al’s contact.

Just as her thumb was about to press the call button—

"Haha..."

The familiar deep voice echoed behind her.

"Smart move, beautiful lady."

"But... not fast enough."

"What a pity. I really wanted to enjoy you.... but now you have to die."

Fani froze.

He...

Had already caught up.

It hadn’t even been two minutes.

Was all that effort... for nothing?

Without hesitation, she pressed the call button.

At that exact moment—

A glowing net woven from magical threads shot toward her.

Each strand pulsed with strange energy.

The instant it wrapped around her—

Her body went completely numb.

It felt as though every drop of blood inside her veins had been forcibly frozen.

She couldn’t move.

Couldn’t even summon Blood Mist.

Her fingers loosened.

The phone slipped from her grasp.

Clatter.

As it fell, she desperately glanced toward the screen.

Did the call... go through...?

She couldn’t tell.

Her vision blurred.

Her body had already gone completely limp.

Powerless, she could only watch as they threw her into a vehicle.

The truck’s doors slammed shut.

And it carried her toward what was almost certainly...

...her execution site.

---

Meanwhile...

Inside a private VVIP room at a restaurant...

Al sat leisurely with several members of his team.

As always, Ai was beside him, clinging tightly to one of his arms.

Inside his pocket...

His phone lit up.

An incoming call.

From an unknown number—or at least, one he hadn’t been paying attention to.

Whether Al noticed it...

Or not...

No one could tell.
