Kaynu's Ascendancy in the Celestrial Jail

 After Kaynu's arrest, he was sent to a special jail from which he cannot escape. While incarcerated, his friend named Hichi Takisan worked tirelessly to secure his release. Hichi was highly esteemed for his exceptional skills as both a healer and a lawyer in the Guardian of Celestria. He presented the king with background information on Kaynu's family, asserting that Kaynu was indeed a citizen of Celestria due to his Celestrian father, despite his mother hailing from Infernalis. This made Kaynu a half dark magic user. Understanding this, the king agreed to commute Kaynu's sentence from execution to 20 years of imprisonment, with the condition that any further use of dark magic would result in immediate execution. Hichi Takisan had no choice but to accept this compromise in order to save Kaynu.

Kaynu's Past in Jail.

Kaynu's life in jail was perilous for the weak; the prison housed numerous dangerous individuals. A week into Kaynu's imprisonment, other inmates began to wonder why he had been incarcerated. However, they were unable to access any information from the outside world. Gangs and groups proliferated within the jail, providing protection and instilling confidence in their members. Kaynu initially stood alone until a man approached him, offering him a place within his group. Kaynu declined the offer, stating,

"Thank you for your offer, but I don't need your group to survive here."

Disappointed, the man smiled and then attempted to stab Kaynu in the back. To his surprise, the knife broke into pieces, and the man fled in fear. Despite his incredulity, he relayed the incident to his group, who decided to confront Kaynu. As they approached, however, the jail guards intervened, using magic to subdue them and return them to their cells.

The jail, located beneath the Kingdom of Celestria, was heavily fortified, with security traps placed every kilometer along its 5-kilometer depth. There were strict rules governing prisoner behavior, including designated hours for interaction within a mini-city. Failure to return to one's cell after these hours resulted in immediate execution.

The day after Kaynu was stabbed with a low-quality knife, during the allotted mini-city hours, the group intent on harming him was determined to confirm whether the knife had indeed broken. They knew that within the jail, there was a magic barrier preventing the use of white magic and the manifestation of guardians. Kaynu sat at a mini bar, enjoying a drink, when the group approached, shouting accusations and threats. They attacked Kaynu without hesitation, striking him to the ground. However, as they continued their assault, Kaynu's appearance shifted as his guardian manifested, displaying its 50% form. Kaynu's guardian spoke, issuing a challenge:

"Who wants to die?"

One of the attackers pleaded for help in escaping, astonished at Kaynu's ability to utilize his guardian within the jail. Kaynu responded, asserting his dominance, stating that his "Evil Guardian" was potent in that environment, reserved for white magic users. He declared his leadership, offering to fight any who disagreed, with victory granting them leadership. The group submitted to Kaynu's authority, bowing their heads in acknowledgment.

Kaynu's life in jail became more meaningful despite its limitations. He forged friendships and fostered a peaceful atmosphere, ending conflicts between gangs and groups. Kaynu's influence transformed the prison into a place where fear was absent, earning him the respect of all the inmates.
