Crimson Overlord

After Orpheus violently broke Daniel’s arm, most of the students became afraid; they labeled him as someone ruthless.

Daniel’s face was pale as a sheet; he was kneeling on the ground, doing his best to minimize the pain; he had never felt so much since the day he was born and what was the most frustrating was that he had lost all his face if later he didn’t beat this young man making suffer more than he did he would forever lose his place in the academy and this could affect his reputation outside, something he would not tolerate.

Just as Daniel thought about making Orpheus suffer, he heard his voice.

”Listen, well, the next time you do something like this, you will lose more than your arm. I will kill you if you aim for my life.” Orpheus said while releasing a bit of his killing intent.

The classroom turned instantly cold, and Daniel felt like his soul would leave his body; he was scared beyond words; the amount of fear he felt surpassed that time his father, the emperor, let him experience half of his killing intent.

‘This man is too dangerous.’ A part of him told him that, he must not go against this man, while another part was fuming, wondering how far Orpheus was willing to trample his pride to be satisfied?

”I’m ashamed you have no dignity. Easily becoming someone else dog.” Orpheus muttered those words; most of the students present who didn’t know that Leon sent Daniel to test the water were confused, while Daniel received another invisible slap on his face.

As for Leon, he felt a chill at his back and had goosebumps all over his body now that Orpheus had fixed his gaze on him.

”Amber, let’s go.”

Orpheus, together with Amber, disappeared. Someone helped Daniel toward the infirmary; Leon seemed lost in thoughts while Kaguya was smiling; she appreciated how Orpheus took care of the situation. Attacking from the back without warning was against the rules, and Orpheus acted in self-defense; nobody would find fault with him for defending him even if he almost crippled the other party’s arm but considering what the other party did, it was reasonable.

Kaguya was thinking of using her Kage (Shadows) to collect information on Orpheus but decided against it in the end; she would find out about his origin if she interacted more with him; besides, she already had an idea how to do it. There was someone here who seemed to know Orpheus, Alvinia Nui Yyddrasil. Kaguya was not planning to approach her so soon, but because she seemed to know Orpheus, she would change her plans and approach her, becoming her friend to learn more about Orpheus.

‘Oh? A good fish has taken the bet.’ Alvinia noticed Kaguya’s intentions and thoughts. One ally gained.

The first day of class ended up with Daniel getting beaten up and was seriously injured.

The night expands as black angel wings, protecting the earth as she dreams.

Girl’s dormitory number 002.

The twins’ goddesses sat together, with Lily frowning as if she had something to say.

”Lil’ sis, if you have something to say, just say it,” Ella said she knew what her other half wished to talk about.

”Why did you accept his condition?” Lily asked, not happy that Ella had accepted Orpheus’s invitation.

”You know why,” Ella replied before sighing.

”You and I share our signs, what I felt the first time I saw that man you also felt like. We need some answers to those recurring dreams we have, and he might be the answer to that. As we are now, we are incomplete; I feel like something is missing, his timing is too strange, and he must know something. It’s a cheap price to pay if it means I can get some answer; besides, he is not a bad person; compared to other males, I found him more likable. Don’t worry; I have the feeling that I won’t regret my choice; this is the right thing to do; as you know, my instinct has never betrayed me.”

”Ok, although I’m still against it, I trust your judgment.” Lily reluctantly agreed before her eyes suddenly shone as if she had remembered something.

”Kyle is awesome; I didn’t even see how he reacted; he was so fast that I was shocked, and he did something I have always wished to do, to teach that annoying brat a good lesson.” Lily didn’t hide her happiness seeing Daniel getting humiliated like that; she didn’t feel even a once of pity for her cousin, who got violently beaten and was seriously injured. On the contrary, she was happy that Orpheus managed to teach that annoying brat a lesson.

”Well, I understand how you feel, but Daniel didn’t act on his own. Someone pushed him to do that, someone who wished to test Kyle.” Ella analyzed; she saw through what happened, unlike her sister, who only focused on Daniel’s defeat.

”Who is the one that makes our dumb cousin act?” Lily asked; her face changed color, not because she was protecting Daniel but because she didn’t like how that person acted.

”It’s the crown prince of Wratharis Empire, Leon Ackes Neos,” Ella responded. She was sensible to killing intent, especially when she was the cause; she had noticed the look Leon was giving Orpheus when they were talking, he thought he had perfectly concealed himself, but she saw through him. Instead of asking, he used Daniel, who also didn’t like Orpheus, to test him; he was probably trying to see his strength, to see if he was a pushover; the result must have exceeded his expectation, but from what she learned about this man he was more cunning than that, he wouldn’t stop, he would use different methods to get rid of Orpheus.

”Ah! Let’s hope I didn’t die soon now that the Lightning prince has set his eyes on him.” Lily mumbled, thinking it would be hard for Orpheus to survive now that many people have targeted him because of them.

To her surprise, Ella didn’t share the same view as her.

”He is not simple as you think.”
