Ballard Estate, Uptown Quarter.
Being a councilor of Ravenfell with the noble title of Duke, Ives Ballard naturally had a lavish estate in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city.
With everything that was going on and everything that was to come, the councilor was gripped by tension for most of his time.
After all, the things he had done and the things he was about to do…
Very few people could do it with a calm and peaceful state of mind. The man was born in Ravenfell and had grown up here. He attended Saratoga like every other resident Magus in the city.
But now… he was going to betray them.
However, in his heart, this was a small price to pay.
Every day, he would visualize the glorious future that lay ahead when he finally got his hands on the mana extraction technique that allowed him to advance to the mythical Mana Core Rank!
In Tron, the Mana Core Rank was the stuff of legend, with very few people having ever reached that arcane stage.
