God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

The light seeping through the glass windows woke Nolan from his bed, and this time, he managed to wake himself up earlier than usual.

[Finally, time for the mission.]

The system called out to him as he sat up from his bed, stretching his stiff muscles.

The faint sound that erupted from his joints was like the crackling of thunder, echoing through the room.

The golden rays of sunlight illuminated his perfectly chiseled body, brimming with strength and vitality.

It had been a week since Nolan resumed his classes, and, luckily for him, there had been no real incidents throughout the entire two-week duration.

No one had attacked him, and the mysterious symbol placed on his shoulder seemed to be just an unlucky coincidence, as nothing further happened.

He had kept to his routine for days, alternating between classes and the training room.

Each session, he lasted twice as long as any other Ascendant, returning to his dorm at night only to rest.

As a result, not only had his body's strength and endurance massively increased, but his combat skills and confidence had grown as well.

And just as the system said, today was a special day as it was the day when all the new Ascendants would embark on their first mission.

Nolan was more eager than ever.

The past two weeks of monotony had worn him down.

He needed something to break the routine, and this mission was exactly what he'd been waiting for.

He glanced at Luna's bed. It was unmade, but she wasn't there.

The second piece of great news was that Luna had finally been cured of her frozen illness.

With Nolan's help in unfreezing her organs, Luna herself had managed to remove the true source of the illness.

Now, she no longer radiated that intense cold from her body, and she occasionally ventured out of the room—though she always returned quickly.

It was a big change compared to before.

Since she had healed, Nolan saw no reason for her to keep staying in his bed, and it seemed Luna understood that.

She had eventually moved back to her own.

Opening the door, Noan stepped out of the bedroom and turned his gaze toward the kitchen.

He could already sense someone inside.

Without wasting any time, he moved to the bathroom and quickly began preparing for the day.

Thirty minutes later, a figure dressed in a neat, ironed blue uniform stepped out of the bathroom, a bag slung over his back.

Sitting on the opposite sofa was another figure dressed in the same uniform, though a dark robe was draped over her shoulders.

It was none other than Luna.

Her attire surprised Nolan a bit as he noticed the uniform she was wearing.

"You're finally planning to resume schooling?" Nolan asked.

He could guess it was the only reason she would put on the Ascendant uniform.

"Yes, I am, starting from today," Luna replied with a beaming smile, making her look like a young girl excited for candy.

Nolan rolled his eyes before moving to the table opposite her and taking his seat.

His food was already set on the plate, and he quickly began eating.

Many things had changed over the past two weeks, but one thing that hadn't changed was Luna's schedule of waking him up and cooking for him before he left for class.

She had never missed a single day. Like clockwork, she did it every morning.

He felt a bit awkward about it and had told her many times to stop, but Luna only giggles at him.

And when he woke up the next day, the food would be there.

Looking at Luna's eyes now, Nolan noticed how bright they were.

All six of them glowed intensely, their colors deeply shining.

Of her six eyes, four emitted a special light, while the remaining two were a normal dark like the ones of Norgomodev.

One of her six eyes was green.

He guessed it was probably the one that gave her the ability to heal.

The element was likely nature or something similar, like Gaia.

The second eye was pitch black, giving Nolan the eerie feeling of staring into the emptiness of space.

Looking too long made the hair on the back of his neck stand up.

He had no idea what element this eye represented.

The third eye was white, dotted with small specks of grey. Like the first one, he also had no clue what it could do.

Her last eye, however, was a full purple.

Nolan could only guess at the abilities tied to each eye.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to ask directly, so he simply observed them now and then.

"You'll be leaving for your Ascendant mission soon, won't you?" Luna asked suddenly.

He nodded. He had told her about it a week ago.

"And it's a solo mission, right? No help from the instructors, just you?" Luna pressed. He nodded again.

"Yes, just me."

"Have you ever gone on a solo mission before? Or any mission at all?" she asked, her curiosity apparent.

Nolan paused for a moment before replying.

"I haven't gone on a solo mission before, but I have been part of a group mission."

"It was a success, though there were quite a few skirmishes along the way…" Nolan replied, and Luna nodded.

Eventually, they both finished eating, and he rose to leave.

But before he could, Luna stopped him.

"I have something to give you for your mission…"

Something for me?" Nolan asked, raising an eyebrow as Luna walked toward him from the room and handed him a small ring.

"What is this?"

"It's called a Spatial Ring," she said. "All you have to do is pass your Divine Essence into it, and it will become yours."

Nolan took the ring but hot a little lost. He didn't have Divine Essence.

He wanted to say he didn't have Divine Essence to her but was stopped by the golden panel in front of him.
