Chapter 16
The Vlastovich family—one of the Great Nine Houses of Humanity.
Known for their terrifying strength and heritage, they stood alongside the other eight as the unshakable pillars of mankind’s survival. It was said they boasted not one, but two Rank 9s—one of them being the legendary Sword Saintess herself.
And standing right here on this field, barking orders like a seasoned war veteran, was her younger brother:
Sergei Vlastovich.
Ezra ran across the training field with a massive weighted vest strapped across his back—500 kg on his shoulders, 300 kg on his legs. He barely broke a sweat.
"My master’s training was far more hellish than this."
Around him, students wheezed and stumbled, dragging their mana-enhanced bodies forward.
But Sergei was relentless.
"Keep running! What are you? Toddlers?! You want to survive out there—on the battlefield?! Then MOVE!"
He even ran alongside the students—yelling, pacing, urging them like a mad general charging into battle. Looking at him now, no one would guess this man was destined to become a major villain.
