Leander agreed to become the Chief Instructor of Southern Wyvern Blade, but he made a few conditions clear from the start.
First, he wouldn’t be attached to any organization and wouldn’t answer to anyone’s orders or arrangements. Second, he would only take the role for one month–no extensions, no exceptions. And third, no one was allowed to reveal anything about his true identity.
Graham and Miles both nodded in agreement. With that, the meeting wrapped up. In exactly one week, a private vehicle would arrive at the Jeff Enterprises headquarters to take him away.
With everything settled, Leander gave Frankie a few quick instructions. He told him to team up with Tommy and the others to pull together part of Jeff Enterprises‘ capital and get ready to venture into Highcliffe in a month.
That same afternoon, Leander sat down to meditate in Villa No. 1. He knew full well that if he wanted to train a group of Wyvern Blade operatives in just a month, he’d need a method that was both systematic and effective.
Fortunately, when he created the ‘Devourer’s Ninefold Path‘, he developed a unique technique that could unlock the human body’s hidden potential. It was this very method that had allowed him to get back into martial arts, even after losing all his original power.
Using this technique, I can help the Southern Wyvern Blade members tap into their full potential. Their progress will be at least twice as fast. In just one month, every single one of them should be able to rise to a whole new level!
The thought made him grin, his eyes glinting with anticipation.
Gareth, you’ve already lost this first quiet showdown. I’ll crush the Northern Wyvern Blade – the team you trained–with the one I personally molded.
Just as he was deep in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen–it was Yvette calling.
“Leander, are you home? Can you come with me to a party tonight p>
There was a hint of pleading in her voice.
“It’s a reunion organized by alumni from Ravenridge Senior High’s former student council. I’m this year’s council president, so I have to go p>
Leander didn’t even think twice before turning her down.
“A student council party? You can handle that on your own. Why drag me into it p>

He was in the middle of organizing his training method, trying to turn it into a step–by–step guide. He had no time to waste playing social escort.
“Well…” Yvette hesitated, then admitted, “There’ll be two people at the party I’d rather not see. That’s why I wanted you to come p>
She really is a handful.
Leander shook his head. If she didn’t want to see them, why not just skip the party? Why rope him in with this long story? Still, since she had asked him directly, he couldn’t bring himself to Latest content published on fıp>
say no.
“Fine. When and where p>
Yvette was thrilled when he agreed and quickly gave him the time and location.
Back in the villa, Leander spent a while sketching and drafting, eventually completing a full illustrated version of the training system. He bundled twelve sheets together and slipped them into a file folder before heading out.
At 7:30 p.m., Leander met up with Yvette in the downtown business district. Ginny came along
too.
The three of them took the elevator to the top floor of a skyscraper, where a BBQ restaurant with a great reputation was hosting the Ravenridge Senior High student council gathering.
On the way up, Leander casually asked, “So, these people you’re avoiding—bad blood, or just awkward p>
Yvette’s face flushed, and she didn’t know how to respond. Ginny, on the other hand, was more direct and shrugged.
“It’s awkward. Yvette just doesn’t want to deal with some of her over–the–top admirers. She brought you along to play knight in shining armor p>
Yvette lowered her head even further, practically burying herself in her coat. Leander raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
What a waste of time.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, a group at one of the tables waved Yvette over, all smiles and excitement.
That table was packed with good–looking young men and women, most of them around 21 or 22, with a few younger ones in their mid–to–late teens. All were smart, polished, and attractive.

No surprise, really–making it into the Ravenridge Senior High student council meant they were top of the class in every way. What did catch Leander’s eye, though, were a few familiar faces.
There was Jade, their senior year’s class president and the most popular girl.
Victor, this year’s top SAT scorer.
Colin, Yvette’s ex.
And most unexpectedly, the guy who had stopped him on the pedestrian bridge earlier and wasted his time–he was here too.
Not that it mattered. Leander hung back and let Yvette and Ginny take the lead.
“Yvette! Ginny! Long time no see–come, sit down p>
A young woman in her early twenties, pretty and smiling warmly, eagerly pulled Yvette and Ginny down into their seats.
But when she noticed someone else standing behind them, she froze for a moment.
“And this handsome guy is p>
“Ah, Eleanor, let me introduce–this is Leander. He went to Ravenridge Senior High too. He’s… uh… a friend of mine p>
Yvette sounded unsure. Eleanor immediately took note of the awkward pause.
She, Colin, and Skyler had all graduated a couple of years earlier. Everyone knew the two men had a thing for Yvette. And now here she was, bringing a guy to the reunion–clearly something had shifted.
She gave Leander a discreet once–over, quietly sizing him up. He was undeniably good–looking, but she couldn’t help wondering–what exactly did this guy have that won over Yvette, even outshining someone as impressive as Colin?
As she invited Leander to take a seat, she kept watching him closely–but in the end, she shook her head quietly.
Aside from his good looks and presence, Leander was dressed plainly in casual clothes and simple white canvas sneakers, with nothing else that stood out.
Guys like Colin and Skyler, who were former school elites, naturally carried a quiet but intense presence–confident and a bit intimidating. Compared to them, Leander barely registered.
Just as Leander sat down, a hand reached out in front of him.

Looking up calmly, he saw it was Skyler–the same guy who had stopped him on the pedestrian bridge earlier that day.
“Leander, we meet again! I hope you haven’t forgotten what I told you earlier today p>
Skyler smiled slyly, a hint of something unspoken in his eyes.
“Let me introduce myself properly–I’m Skyler Eaton, Yvette’s senior and also one of her admirers p>
Skyler’s words caught everyone off guard. It was obvious that Leander had come with Yvette and that their relationship was clear, but for Skyler to openly declare himself as one of her suitors–that was a direct challenge.
Most of the crowd wore amused smiles. Everyone knew about the rivalry between Skyler and Colin; both were no pushovers. Now that Skyler was provoking Leander so openly, it was clear he was determined to win Yvette’s heart. Everyone was eager to see how Leander would handle the confrontation.
Only Colin, Jade, and Victor—who knew Leander well—smirked quietly and felt a bit sorry for Skyler.
Oh, Skyler… picking an opponent like this — you’ve got to wonder if you’re brave or just plain clueless.
