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

Chapter 193: Luna's Resolve

Immediately, Luna's eyes opened.

She froze for a split second, and then, like a robot, she rose from the bed, twisting her neck from side to side.

Her expression quickly changed to shock.

But there was no time to celebrate as her hands moved toward her spine.

She touched it and found the skin warm, almost as if it had just been massaged by the best hands in the world.

"How?" she asked in surprise.

For nearly a year now, she had lost feeling in both her spine and the back of her neck, and she didn't need anyone to tell her it was because they had been frozen by deep layers of frost.

Yet, right now, she could move her neck and feel her own touch on her back!

It was impossible!

But even more impossible was the fact that she slept!

She actually slept! It's been two years now since she had slept!

That could only mean one thing.

Her frozen parts were thawing, and only one person could have done that.

Turning her head to the bed, she found Nolan, seemingly in deep sleep.

Silently, she approached his side. Al

As she gazed at his peaceful face, a flood of emotions filled Luna's heart.

She leaned closer to Nolan, but suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and Luna jerked back like a startled cat, falling to the foot of the bed in less than a split second.

A powerful burst of air slammed into Nolan's hair from her sudden movement, causing his white locks to flutter behind him.

Slowly, he sat up from the bed, raising an eyebrow at Luna.

He didn't understand why she had jumped back so fast.

Touching his forehead, he wondered if maybe he'd grown a pair of horns overnight.

Luna looked at him, seeing his confused expression, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed Nolan didn't know.

Her heart had been so touched by his act that she had almost wanted to give him a forehead kiss, but she had nearly been caught.

"What?" Nolan asked as Luna jumped off the bed, quickly appearing before him.

"I was just checking to see if you were truly awake or just pretending, and you startled me!" she said with acute precision, but the system notification soon flashed before his eyes.

[NO! That's a lie! She wanted to Kiss you!] the system said to him, and Nolan looked dubiously at the golden notification before he hummed.

'Hmph, that won't work on me. You're just trying to make me jealous, not wanting me to help her…' Nolan replied, a 'got ya' expression on his face as the system went silent before it responded.

[Poor me…]

Then it faded from Nolan's sight.

"Go brush, and by the way, your lips are covered in frost," Luna said, and watched as Nolan skipped away from her side, exiting the bedroom.

But this time, he could sense a change in her.

'Why does she seem much more lively than yesterday…?'

Yes!

He could see a slight difference in Luna's steps, and she seemed a bit more energetic than usual.

She radiated a lively, energetic vibe, compared to the former Luna, who always moved slowly and regally, like a queen.

'A good difference nonetheless…' he thought as he rose from the bed and tried to walk, but Nolan was speechless when the world suddenly started spinning.

'Am I?' he asked himself in shock moving around erratically like a drunkard.

[You're exhausted.]

[Get back to your bed before you lose consciousness.] the system ordered, and Nolan struggled to reach the bed.

In the last moment, his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he slammed onto the bed, his consciousness slipping away.

The reason was simple.

Throughout the night, Nolan had kept himself awake, his concentration pushed to the absolute maximum.

Now that he had finished what he needed to do, all the sleep he had missed suddenly came rushing back, causing him to instantly pass out from exhaustion.

Two hours later, the door to the bedroom opened.

"Hey, I made something for—" Luna began to say, but when she turned to the bed, she couldn't find him.

Looking at Nolan's own bed, she spotted him sleeping soundly like a baby.

"Hmph, trying to deceive me again. Not this time…" Luna muttered as she appeared before Nolan.

Her hands came down with power, aiming to give him a scare, but stopped at the last second.

A powerful blast of air blew against Nolan's face, sending his white hair flying messily.

But Nolan's eyes remained closed, his body unmoving.

"He really is asleep, huh? I wonder if he even sleeps at night," Luna laughed, but soon her smile faded, replaced by guilt.

'Am I being a headache to someone…again?' she thought to herself, her expression downcast.

But she soon noticed Nolan stirring to the side.

His lips moved silently for a while before he snuggled deeper into himself, a small smile forming on the side of his face.

Somehow, it reminded Luna of the night before, and her downcast expression faded away, followed by a deep red appearing on her cheeks.

'I almost forgot, he's a pervert,' she mused, gently grabbing the blanket and covering Nolan with it.

She stared at his face for a long while.

Although he was tall and had the body of a man, she could still see the baby-like expression of a small boy on his face.

It was clear to her in an instant that Nolan was still young. Very young.

In the end, he was just a boy, and her feelings, once filled with love and tenderness, shifted to a different kind of affection.

'I will love him, like a sister…' she thought, placing the blanket completely over him and quietly exiting the room.

From that day on, the relationship between Luna and Nolan changed.

Luna herself transformed from being cold and distant, becoming more open.

With her body getting better and healthier everyday, she regained her lively aura, while Nolan finally began to confront his own emotional state.

He was able to get rid of the guilt feeling of being capable of help yet not helping, and Luna learned to open up to her feelings, accepting Nolan as her younger brother.

This way, both roommates were able to maintain a vestige of good harmony to each other.

Something that was exceptionally rare in the rest of the dorm rooms.
