City of Velder, 12:01am

"Hurry up! We don't know how long it'll be before that alarm goes off." a man said in a hushed voice.

"Don't rush me! Otherwise we'll trip the sound alarm." A man in a wolf like mask replied.

"Well, make it snappy" the man said as he walked out of the shadow and into the moonlit room. His hair was a light brown; long enough to be called shaggy even. He had a scar on his right eye, an accident from a unsuccessful heist. A blunder that had resulted his name and face being spread in wanted posters throughout the town, leaving him unable to walk around the city in daylight.

His name was Banthus. Banthus the Thief.

"Is it open yet?" Banthus asked his subordinate, Toby.

"Not yet, I almost got it" he replied to his boss.

They were in the back room of the Velder National Bank, trying to unlock the safe that contained ED and valuables from all over country. It had taken them 10 minutes to put a stall on the alarm, and another 30 minutes to get past any other security. It was their biggest job yet. The only job that could fix Bantus' failing reputation.

However, before they could say another word, a voice spoke out from the dark.

"So, up to no good I take it?"

In shock, the two thieves turned around to see a boy with white hair, wearing a black mask that covered all of his face except his blue eyes, a black coat (think Luto's Remains costume with a glaive mask), and a blunt sword slung over his shoulder. Banthus had met him once before, and barely escaped with his freedom.

"You gotta be kidding me, it's the Magician!" Toby yelled in fear, realizing after he yelled that he had set off the sound alarm.

"Break for it!" Banthus yelled, making his way for the door. However, he was suddenly blocked by a set of magic runes.

"You're not getting away this time Banthus" the boy spoke, holding out his blade. Toby was already down on the floor and unconscious.

"Well, if I'm going to go to prison…I'll take you with me!" Banthus exclaimed as he pulled out his scimitar and rushed toward the Magician. However, the magician dodged Banthus' uppercut slash easily, then taking advantage of the opening to swing his sword right into Banthus' ribs, knocking Banthus to the side. Banthus got back up, but cradled his rib cage with his left arm. He then went for a horizontal slash from the right, but it was useless as the boy blocked it with his own sword.

Then, with his free hand, the Magician punched Banthus right in the ribs, his fist exploding on impact, launching Banthus right into the wall, knocking him out.

The Magician took a breath of relief and started to speak "Well, that takes care of tha-"

However, he was cut off by the sound of police sirens.

"And that's my cue to leave!" He said, a smirk appearing behind his mask. He then put a quick rune on the wall, his calling card, and then used some runes to quickly climb up toward the window he came in from, jumping out the window seconds before the front doors of the bank were broken down.

"THIS IS THE VELDER POLICE! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" A voice yelled over a megaphone. After a minute or so, the police found Banthus and Toby down on the ground, as well as the rune on the wall.

Then a man in a red officer's coat walked in, his amber eyes looking through the crime scene, until he noticed the rune on the wall, which led to his straight face turning into a scowl. "The vigilante again?" he said in annoyance as he looked at the wall. He then looked at one of his officers and spoke "Search the perimeter! And someone get this rune off the wall before the media get here!" He then walked back toward the front and towards his car. He was annoyed at the fact the 5th time, the vigilante called 'The Magician' had managed to beat the police to the punch. Although he could understand the desire for justice, the officer was annoyed at the fact it was making the Velder Police look bad.

He had decided if anything, if they caught the Magician one day, he would at least make sure to give him a nice and long lecture about the proper channels for dealing with criminals.

"Captain Edan! The media wants to look at the crime scene" One of his subordinates spoke as he rushed toward his superior officer.

Edan grumbled. He assumed his officers hadn't gotten the rune off the wall yet. He knew the media would make a huge story out of it. And he knew he would get a headache from all the phones itelike that for the past week.

"Fine. Let them through. We'll deal with the fanfare in the morning" He said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice as the officer saluted and walked toward the media vans. He would have another report to write about how they were beaten to the punch again. And he hated writing those.

A few miles away from the crime scene

A figure was running across the rooftops in the moonlight, his trademark white hair flowing behind him. He then slowed down as he reached a set of apartments, and jumped down onto the outside patio of an apartment on the fifth floor of the complex. He then took out a key and unlocked the door. He then walked to the bed and lied down for a minute.

"A job well done, and still chased by the cops. Doesn't anyone respect vigilante justice anymore?" he spoke with a smirk on his face. He then got up and took off his mask and coat, laying them on the coffee table. His eyes turned crimson not long after due to the magic of the mask wearing off. He then waved his hand next to his hair, and like magic, the color changed from snow white to a crimson red. Afterwards, he grabbed the coat and mask and put them in his closet.

He then walked toward the fridge to get himself something to drink, but stopped when he noticed his calendar. The box that represented tomorrow was circled with red marker, and the black ink in the circle had given him all the reason to mope.

'Midterms Test Day' was what was written in the ink.

"Ah Crap" The Rune Slayer moped.

His name is Elsword Rune Sieghart. A student by day, and the vigilante 'The Magician' by night.
