After their lunches, Orpheus and Xiaosu returned to their dormitory. Just as Orpheus was about to close his door, Xiaosu stopped him and walked in.


    ”Not so fast, buddy; let’s hang out some more. We should go out and y.”


    ”Not interested.” Orpheus tly refused Xiaosu’s offer, but the young man was not affected in the slightest, almost as if Orpheus’s rejection fueled him even more.


    ”Don’t be like that. Okay, let’s do it. I heard that you beat a teacher and won 500 credits.” Xiaosu said, but Orpheus’s face remained impassive; he started to feel frustrated; he had thought that at least this news would have shocked him, making him show more emotion, but no, nothing seemed to affect Orpheus.


    ”I’m sure you would want your personal mansion.”


    Nevertheless, Xiaosu still continued; Orpheus stared at him for a moment before saying.


    ”So?”


    ”I suggest you wait a few more days; after ss begins, more awesome vis will be revealed for rent. The cost will be cheaper as well. I’m also nning to rent one. Let’s rent it together.” Xiaosu exined.


    ”I see. I will follow your suggestion; you can now scram. I need sleep.” Orpheus decided to follow his advice, but at the same time, he was chasing him out of his room; however, stubborn as he was, Xiaosu refused to leave.


    ”Now, now don’t be such a killjoy. I’m currently an early level 5 origin master; what about you, at least closer to level 4 as you managed to beat a weak level 4 teacher.”


    ”If you say so,” Orpheus responded,pletely annoyed, but Xiaosu acted as though he hadn’t seen the annoyance on Orpheus’s face.


    ”Okay, I’ll eventually find out. Have you heard about the twins’ goddesses? They are the most beautiful women I have ever seen. I’m in love with E, the one with ck hair. If I can get her to be my wife, I’ll be happy; unfortunately, I already have a fiancee. Even so, I still want-”


    ”I will tell you, fiancee, that you went out to search for a prostitute; let’s see what she would say.” Orpheus dered after hearing that Xiaosu had a fiancee. Nothing was surprising about this. Given his status, it was normal that he had one.


    Xiaosu shuddered; his face turned pale instantly; holding Orpheus’s arm, he began pleading.


    ”Please don’t do that; I’ll do anything you want; I’ll even give you my twin sister.”


    ”Thank you, but I have no need for your sister yet, but I do have something I want,” Orpheus said with a smile.


    Xiaosu felt like he had yed right into Orpheus’s palm, especially that sentence about his sister, he had dug the grave himself, and he could only jump in. Sighing, he asked.


    ”Tell me, and I’ll do it.”


    ”I don’t want much, just shut and go back. I’m tired.”


    Xiaosu was shocked by Orpheus’s request. He hadn’t thought he would ask for something so simple, but as he promised, he must respect his decision.


    ”Okay, I understand. I’ll leave.” Saying this, he stood up and left; Orpheus nodded, but just as he was about to leave Orpheus’s room, Xiaosu stopped and looked back.


    ”I’m leaving, but you should smile often and talk more. Life is boring if you always stay silent and refuse to interact with others. I don’t say to go to a celebration party or smile at everyone, but you should be more open. Who knows, you might find something unexpected if you do.”


    Xiaosu had said those words, not expecting a reply given Orpheus’s personality, but he surprised him by saying.


    ”Noted.”


    It was only one word, but it showed his intention of changing; Xiaosu was happy that his friend had decided to listen to his advice.


    ”Good, see you tomorrow. We will attend the ceremony together.” He said before disappearing.


    Orpheus sighed before closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, they shone more brightly than usual.


    Suddenly, he vanished, and when he reappeared again he was inside a dark room; inside the darkness was a pair of beautiful red eyes. Those eyes flickered when they noticed a presence, and the room was lighted up.


    It was not really big, bigger than a normal room, at the center of this room was a ck throne, and a woman was sitting on it. Her skin was fair, a little pale, her lips red; this woman was dressed in a ck dress.


    ”Father, finally you came. I was waiting for your arrival.” The beautiful woman opened her mouth and addressed Orpheus as a father.


    ”Nix, I’m back,” Orpheus said and directly appeared above the ck-haired beauty named Nix; she vanished and left her ce to her father. As the second, she still respected her father more than anything.


    Orpheus sat on the throne, crossing his legs. He directly asked.


    ”I need a favor.”


    ”I know, I have already sent someone to the academy. You will know who it is soon.” Nix replied with an expressionless face. Her face was colder than Orpheus’s face, as if she was born like that


    Orpheus nodded before asking.


    ”Where is Alucard?”


    Nix stayed silent before answering, ”I don’t know.”


    Orpheus understood; he remembered the discussion he had with Kratos, and his face darkened.


    ”I see; your sister is in the capital. Inside the church, right?” He switched the subject, and Nix nodded.


    It was all he needed. He stood up, and after stroking Nix’s head, he left.


    ”I will contact you when I need your help.”


    Nix nodded and whispered. ”Wee back, father.”


    For the first time in thousands of years, she showed a smile; because she was not ustomed to such a gesture, it was a stiff smile; even so, it was a beautiful smile. She was looking forward to the day they would emerge again; she believed it wouldn’t be long before it happened.


    Night arrived, tomorrow sses would officially start, and from Xiaosu’s words,petition in the form of mock battle would begin right after sses started. The one who won would get 500 credits, it a big amount of credits, everyone would fight for it, and it would be interesting.
