In a world were humans and demi-humans live in harmony... Was ruined by a terrible forty-year war between them but over a decade now after that war. They did have an agreement on co-existing now and having fair rights is a good thing but what do you expect, not all people are nice after all. There's a frequent incident that has been happening in a small country of Shinn in under the continent of Gaia.

They say that a countess has been killing men over in that country of Shinn. The countess was charming young and old men for her own lust and power, but recent news was heard that a hero caught the countess and saved many lives of young men. This news became a controversy that the hero was seduced by the countess to let her escape and her son was born because of them. But this young man didn't know that he was the son of the Countess of Shinn. After a few years he was brought to his uncle to be taught on how to survive and the basics of being a hero this turns the young man to understand surviving and his past as the next Count Of Shinn.

Meanwhile in the office of the prime minister.

"Sir! I have some news about the kid!" The prime minister looked at him. "Tell me where is the boy. I need to know!" The secretary flipped out a sheet of paper saying "He is found hunting in the forest near the church in the Shinn-do area. And he is currently living with an old man." The prime minister stood up and said. "Quickly, we need to go there now! His life is at stake here!" The young man who gave information replied. "Understood sir, I'll call the transport vehicle now."

Meanwhile in the forest...

"Whew... That's a lot of firewood. I guess we won't need to stockpile on fuel for a while. That's should be enough I'll call this a day for me." The young man carried the firewood back to the small shack where he stockpiled the wood. "You finished getting firewood?" said the old man. "Yep, we won't need to stockpile some wood for four months, I guess..." The young man wasn't sure if the wood is really enough. "Of course this is enough. If we're careful enough this could last for years even." The young man was curious... "Uncle... Why are we hiding from the public?" The old man replied. "You have nothing to worry about where it's just that they think that you are the enemy and they want to capture you and I don't want that to happen to you would it. Well, if I'm honest I did call a fellow friend to talk to you about transferring to a new school." The young man questions this. "School? Wait am I being transferred to a new school? Cool then." The old man replied. "Oh, no no, this school is different than any other school out there this school is for being a hero." The young man realizes something. "Am I following what my father wants me to become?" The old man quickly replies. "Yes, you are correct I taught you how to hunt, to fish, to farm, to socialized, to trade and to survive in the real world to make use of it when you are transferred to a new school." The young man replied. "Ok, ok. I'll go but where is this school anyway?" The old man did reply. "Oh, you can't go there by yourself I had a friend to pick you up to bring you to your new school, and remember the secrets should be kept shut ok?" The young man nodded.

A white car has arrived in front of the small cabin. "He is here." The old man speaks. "Long time no see a friend... I see you look as old as ever." The old man replied. "I may look old but I'm active as a young lad. So you came to pick him up?" The prime minister replied. "Of course, I have a special room for him and the papers for him to be protected under my orders. And of course his uniform, where is he anyway?" The old man replied. "Oh, he's just taking a bath before he leaves." The prime minister replied. "His military records are kept under my protection also." The young man came out of the cabin wearing the uniform and they head to the new school that the prime minister said will be his new training field.

"Mr. Prime Minister? Is my threat that a big deal to people?" The prime minister replied. "Yes, because your mother is one of the people behind that has agreed upon the co-existence law of the union. And some terrorist groups want you dead since you are one of the most important aspects of the forty-year war. If you died, then chaos will fall upon this country and we know that you don't want that so I need you to become like your father and try to exterminate the threats." The young man replied. "I know what you're saying, but I don't want to kill anyone anymore, I requested that I will be in the reserve unit's to keep my rank there but in an invisible way" The prime minister replied. "What I'm saying is, if you came back and work for us again there wouldn't be a conflict when you arrive at your new school but the students there are just amateurs so you won't be bothered by them, except for the Special Quartet." The young man questions his answer. "What is this Special Quartet?" The prime minister explains this in a manner of understanding. "The Special Quartet are four students who excel in physical and magical strength, even there grades are very high at there age and already they are preparing for your arrival. I recently got a call from the higher-ups saying that if you stepped up against them they will try to see if you are the next Count of Shinn."

For a few minutes of talking between the two of them, they have arrived at the school. "Young man, good luck on your journey the way your father has gone through minus being a count that is." The car left with the young man looking at the school says. "Is this really my problem now? I have to do this to end this killing and everything I just wanted to live normally now but I guess... I can't do it yet." The principal looked at him. "Hey, are you Mr. Bathory?" He nodded. "Welcome to Helim Academy one of fifteen hero academies in the land. I will be your principal. Principal Florence. I am a teacher also here in this academy teaching in basic health and medicine making. And you must be the next Count of Shinn, if I must I will tell you the teachers here will be very different from your previous school you understand that right Mr. Bathory right?" The young man nodded.

After a few minutes on the tour...

"Hey, you there!" The young man looked confused. "You mean me?" A young woman in grey pointing at him and said, "Yes, you! I want you to fight me in a duel to prove your strength in this school." The principal used mind communication with the young man. "Hey, who is this girl?" The principal replied. "She's one of the Special Quartet, Ms. Liana. She's the princess of the Laylon. She's ranked third highest in this academy. Well we can change the ranks after the duel I suppose but don't expect to move at the top in just one battle you have to work hard going up the ladder Mr. Bathory but you have to challenge her to create a reputation for yourself." Liana was angered by the young man ignoring her. "Hey! You!" The young man looked at her when suddenly she disappeared. The young man was surprised by her sudden attack. "Hey, Ms. Liana take this fight in the gym ok?" The principal said that while she is attacking the young man. "Hmph! Ok, then I'll see you there." Ms. Liana left the hall with a pouty face. The principal gave a small chuckle "Hahaha... The young ones are always the lively one I see. But do be careful Mr. Bathory she is a great melee fighter with magecraft hiding under her. But what is your name actually? I've been calling you by your last name." The young man replied. "My name is Christoper, but just call me Chris." The principal nodded and heads back to the office as the young man named Chris Bathory prepares to battle one of the Special Quartet members.
