Crimson Overlord

Chapter 46

”What do you want?” He asked, and Kaguya smiled while answering.

”I want to fight you.”

She straightforwardly told him what she wanted.

”I understand you can fight me in the incoming mock battle; why ask me this?” Orpheus asked.

”I know that but what I meant is to fight me seriously. Don’t restrain yourself and fight me with all you have,” Kaguya answered; she couldn’t see through him, how strong he was; by making this deal with him, he would fight her using his full strength, so she expected but if he were to do that she would last a second.

However, Orpheus would not say that; he would fight her with his limited strength as he was playing pretend.

”Ok, I understand, but I won’t do it for free.” Orpheus accepted but with a condition.

Kaguya had expected this to happen; therefore, she was not surprised; she calmly responded.

”I will accept anything as long it’s not something outrageous. So, what do you want?”

There was a playful smirk on her face at the end of her speech; maybe he wouldn’t be different than other men.

”I don’t want anything complicated. I want you to work for me, I mean work for me as my subordinate in the group I’ll soon create to explore Ruins.” Orpheus’s answer was unexpected.

Kaguya was surprised by Orpheus’s behavior. In his situation, most men would have asked to go out with them given this opportunity, but this man before her did not seem interested in that.

Out of everything he could have asked, he asked to be his subordinate. School had just started, and yet he was already thinking about creating a group. This was interesting. He was different than other males she had ever faced.

She was getting more and more curious about this young man, and she knew well when a woman was curious about a man, it was only a matter of time before she fell in love with that man; however, she couldn’t stop her curiosity growing at each passing second, if she ended up falling for him so be it. All she wants is to fight him, to know all his secrets if possible.

Kaguya Mio Sakura is not a woman to run in front of a challenge, and she is a woman that decides what to do, not giving a damn about others’ opinions. They may think what they want it was their problem. She lives for herself, not for others, doing whatever she wants.

”Okay, deal.” Kaguya accepted after a moment of hesitation; she wouldn’t lose anything by accepting this deal anyway; on the contrary, she felt like she would earn big from this cooperation.

Orpheus nodded; he ignored the weird stares his other classmates were sending him.

Even Ella and Lily were staring at him, wondering what he was talking about with the Ice queen, making her smile like that.

Daniel was glaring at Orpheus as if he wished to kill, while Leon was silent as if thinking of something.

Just as the atmosphere inside the classroom was starting to become weird, the door was pushed open, and four students walked in, Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaowen, and the Xiao sisters.

Ren Xiaosu dashed toward Orpheus like the wind. He tried to hug Orpheus, but he effortlessly dodged, making Xiaosu sigh.

”What a bad friend you are? Ditching me like that. That was no fun.” He said as he sat beside Orpheus.

”Be quiet; the teacher is coming.” Orpheus stopped him from talking.

Not long after, the teacher came. The teacher was a beautiful woman; it was none than the same teacher that sent someone to test him.

”All right. I welcome you to my class, the S class. I will be the one to teach you about Magic and other general stuff. My name is Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus.” As she was introducing herself, she scanned the classroom, and her eyes momentarily stopped on Orpheus before moving on.

”Alright. I will start calling your names first to know you as my obligation,” She said uninterestedly.

“After I call your names, please stand up and raise your hand so others can know you. First, Amber Blake.”

“Here,” Amber rose from her seat and raised her hand.

Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus nodded her head, “You can sit down. Next, Priscilla Stone.”

“Here.” A pink-haired girl responded

Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus nodded again and continued. She called a few more before Orpheus’s turn came.

“Kyle Blake.”

”What is his relationship with that girl?” Someone wondered.

”Maybe, she is sister?”

”No, she is his maid.” Xiaowen was the one who said this. As her roommate, she knew what she was to Orpheus.

”Maid?” Xiao Qingye, Xiaosu’s fiancee, was surprised because usually, the maid doesn’t share their master’s name. This situation was unusual.

Bang!

A sudden loud slamming noise was heard coming from the front. The teacher slammed the table as she was frustrated. Instead of focusing on what she was about to say, they were gossiping.

”You better focus, or else you will be punished, losing your credits, something I bet none of you want.” Their teacher warned them.

After she finished, she finally started her lecture.

”What is the origin?” This was the first question she asked at the beginning of her lecture, and a shy girl with light purple hair and red eyes raised her hand.

”Oh! Luna, go ahead.” Quinn said, the girl’s full name was Luna Morningstarr, a member of the former royal family now the loyal dog of the Asmodeus family, the current ruling family.

Luna stood up, and because of her shy nature, she had trouble at first but eventually started speaking.

”Origin is the world’s essence.” Her answer was not long, but it was correct, just missing a little bit, something to be accurate.

”Not bad, Luna, you can sit back.” Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus said; Luna nodded before sitting down.

Quinn scanned the classroom, and her eyes landed on Orpheus.

The corners of Quinn’s lips couldn’t help but tilt upward.

”Kyle, tell me about how the origin is born.”
