Crimson Overlord

After Snow, the girl giving Orpheus an unusual feeling, chooses a seat, Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus, their teacher, stares at Daniel and asks.

”I heard that yesterday after I left it became lively, Daniel care to explain what happened?”

Daniel chooses to stay silent, facing his teacher’s question. He was wrong; he shouldn’t have reacted as he did yesterday. He regretted having acted so impulsively. He would have taken his time to crush this young man completely. Daniel did not consider yesterday’s defeat as something to worry about; to him, he had been careless, and Orpheus got lucky. He would surely show Orpheus how strong he was.

Looking at Daniel, who chose silence instead of answering her question, Quinn chuckled before shifting her eyes onto Orpheus, and when he felt her gaze, he understood that she was up to no good.

”You again, Kyle, you arrived just a few days ago, and you have already caused no small amount of trouble. First, you fought against a teacher.”

A commotion broke the moment the other students heard their teacher’s words.

”So it was true that he fought a teacher,” Kaguya mumbled, like the others; she heard this news yesterday, but she didn’t really believe it, but after hearing Quinn’s confirmation, she wondered what the result of the fight was. Except that a freshman fought against a teacher, no other information had filtered, so most people didn’t know the fight’s result.

Leon’s eyes narrowed dangerously; he also heard about the rumor, but didn’t pay too much attention to it because the identity of the freshman who fought the teacher wasn’t revealed, but to think that it would be Orpheus, more than ever, he saw the need to erase this young man if not his time in the future wouldn’t be peaceful.

Orpheus closed his eyes, ignoring the questioning stares the other students gave him.

Quinn had expected this much, so she continued.

”You should control yourself. While it’s forbidden to fight if not a competition, there are still duels. If you have some differences to clear, you can submit for a duel; just know that duels cost 5 credits to request a duel. To make things interesting, you can gamble some credits; for example, the winner will earn credits.”

The students nodded; submitting for a duel was cheap, but the premise was if you really want to waste your credits. Credits are currency here; they’re hard to earn, so most students wouldn’t waste the few credits they have for duels.

Quinn could pretty much guess what her students were thinking. The corners of her lips couldn’t help but tilt upward.

”Duels are more than that; for example, you can request a duel to challenge an upper classmate or challenge anyone you want, the moment you are ready to pay. Let’s say, for example, your classmate Kyle over there acquired a lot of credits recently, you can request a duel, and the reward will be getting some of his credits.”

Instantly, the eyes of most students shone like hungry hyenas when they heard Orpheus acquired a lot of credits. Most students had forgotten what happened yesterday as they were blinded by greed, while some still remembered but were thinking about challenging him; if they were a coward, none of them wouldn’t have been put into this class.

Orpheus chuckled; he had expected something like this the moment she brought up the topic of duels.

”I see that you are fired up, but you should know that to request a duel like that, you must put forward a considerable amount of credits or request a loan of 100 credits you’ll need to repay with interest in two months. Cough! Cough! Your classmate Kyle earned up to two hundred credits when he fought that teacher. He earned that because he survived a fight against a level 4 origin master and even successfully landed a strike. He was pretty awesome.” Quinn lied through her teeth.

Xiaosu couldn’t believe that their teacher could be this shameless, but on further thought, he understood that the truth couldn’t be said as it would tarnish the school’s reputation. The eastern prince shook his face and looked at his friend, who had become the target of the other’s envy, and as expected, he kept his cool; he was even smiling.

Seeing Orpheus’s smile, Xiaosu felt a chill run down his back, and he couldn’t help but pity those who would challenge Orpheus just because he possessed a lot of credits. They could have waited after the mock battle that would happen soon to judge whether or not it was wise to challenge this young man blindly.

Most of the students were thinking like Xiaosu, but at the same time, there were those students who wished to challenge Orpheus, Daniel being one of them immediately. Among the new students, Snow Argent was looking at Orpheus, and because of her expressionless face, it was hard to tell what this white-haired beauty was thinking about.

However, Orpheus had hoped that she would use this opportunity to challenge him like that he would confirm if the hunch he had that this girl came for him were right. There was also that weird feeling he kept having the more he looked at the wolf girl. His blood would boil like he was facing his natural enemy; something like this had never happened before, not even when facing the so-called Gods back then.

‘As I thought, life in the academy would be interesting. I’m curious about what happened while I was gone. Slowly but surely, I’ll uncover the truth.’ Orpheus mumbled, already thinking about his next plan; now that Lilith, the subordinate sent by his daughter, had arrived, he could begin the first part of his plan.

Clap! Clap!

Their teacher clapped twice when she saw that most of her students were lost in thoughts. She decided it was time to start today’s lesson; information about duels was just an appetizer; the real lesson would start soon.

”Today, we will talk about origin attributes and origin beasts,” Quinn announced and began today’s lesson.
