I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 413 413. Orion Darkwood Was Spotted!!

"What is this place?" Victor exclaimed, shocked to find himself suddenly in a black-and-white world. It looked similar to their own world, yet it was quite different.

Zeref, Mark, and Erza were equally stunned. They hadn't seen anything like it, and before they could ask Orion what this place was, they noticed cadets appearing before them.

To their surprise, these cadets couldn't see or hear them, but the reverse was possible. Victor, Zeref, Mark, and Erza could see and hear everything happening outside.

They watched as the cadets examined the scorching marks on the ground, speculating that there might have been a battle. One of them even left to report all of this to the Cadet Council.

But they had no idea that the ones who caused all of this could hear and see everything happening around them.

"Orion, what is this place?" Victor asked, looking at Orion.

Erza, Mark, and Zeref also looked at him, hoping for an answer. However, it seemed that Mark and Zeref had some idea of what this space was about. In a way, the only ones truly confused were Victor and Erza.

"We are inside a cosmic treasure," Orion fabricated, continuing, "Let's get out of here."

He then took them to the dormitory, but instead of heading towards the boys' dormitory, they moved towards the girls' dormitory.

"We will first return Tracy to her room. She needs some rest before she can fully return to her peak state," he said as he led them.

After some time, they arrived in front of Tracy's room. Opening the door, they entered inside.

Just then, Orion took them all out, and they appeared outside as if they had teleported in the blink of an eye.

"We're back in the real world!" Victor exclaimed, surprised to see the colorful world again. He began to wonder what kind of treasure would allow someone to enter a place like that. Erza and the others were also surprised, but they didn't have time to be astonished; they laid Tracy on the bed. Mark leaned closer, standing beside Tracy as he rested against the wall, watching her closely.

Orion observed this and sighed. He wondered if Mark had made the right choice by erasing himself from Tracy's memories.

While he pondered this, everyone in the hall found it strange that Mark seemed more concerned about Tracy than Orion, who had even gone berserk and killed those four cadets.

They understood that something was going on between Orion, Mark, and Tracy.

"What happened? How did you all get into that situation?" Orion asked solemnly. Even though he had arrived before Mark, he had only seen how severely injured Tracy was; he didn't witness how it all started.

Mark was also focused on this. He wanted to know what had led to all of this.

"There was an old cadet who wanted to take Zeref, Erza, and Tracy on his team, but they respectfully refused. You can imagine what happened after that," Victor said, looking down. He couldn't believe that something so simple could lead to the deaths of four cadets and Tracy's injury.

"You mean there's someone else who knows that the four of them attacked you and then suddenly disappeared?" Orion said, realizing a problem.

"Yeah, he said his name was Gale and that he had some connections to the super families of the Archons," Victor nodded.

"Connections to the Archons?" Orion understood why that cadet had been so haughty that he sent other cadets to attack others. It turned out he had backing, but a backing wouldn't save him from Orion.

"Erza, you and Zeref stay here and take care of her. We will go to our rooms," Orion declared. "Some cadets were just killed, so I think they will check which cadets are in the dormitory and which are not. It would be better if we stay in our rooms for now."

They all nodded.

"I have completely healed Tracy, but if something happens, be sure to message me," Orion said before turning to Mark and Victor. "Let's leave."

Mark looked at Tracy and clenched his fists tightly, but he eventually nodded to Orion.

Orion used the Curse of Dimensional Dissonance again in Curse Transformation mode and took Victor and Mark inside.

"Remember, if anything happens, contact me," Orion instructed Erza and Zeref before he too moved into his own dimension.

***

Orion, Mark, and Victor moved through his dimension toward the boys' dormitory. However, just as they exited the girls' dormitory, they noticed some disciples knocking on the doors of each room, checking if anyone was inside.

"They really started checking!" Victor exclaimed, surprised that Orion's assumption had proven correct.

"Let's run to our rooms," Orion said before dashing toward their rooms. He knew that if they hadn't been found in their rooms, they would be on the suspect list. However, he also knew that there wouldn't be a suspect list if no one was found dead. They only knew that a fight had occurred there, but it didn't necessarily mean someone had died; the corpses were in his dimension.

But the only thing that could cause a problem was the cadet who had ordered the four cadets to attack them. He would definitely be suspicious of Tracy and the others, knowing the four cadets had gone missing after he sent them to attack.

'Still, attacking someone so heavily on academy grounds is not allowed,' Orion frowned. If Mark had only kept one of them alive, he could have extracted some information about what happened.

At that moment, they reached the floor where they all lived. Orion dropped Mark and Victor off at their rooms before returning to his own.

Orion sat on his bed, contemplating his next steps. 'I need to know the power structure of the Archons before I set my plan in motion.' After a moment of thought, he left his room and headed toward the library.

As Orion exited the room, he noticed the CCTV camera in the hall, which had started working again after being repaired. When he left Mark and Victor to their room, he hadn't directly taken them inside; instead, they had all exited the dimension in the washroom before heading to their rooms.

If he hadn't done that, there might have been footage of them leaving their room in the morning but no footage of them returning. If their rooms were checked and they were found inside, it would definitely raise suspicions as to how they had gotten in when there was no footage of them entering.

Orion knew it would cause problems; therefore, he had already thought of everything before he, Mark, and Victor returned to their rooms.

'The only matter now is that cadet... The eradication of the Archons starts with him.' Orion didn't know why the cadet had attacked Tracy, and he didn't want to know. Since he had ordered them to attack Tracy, someone he considered his little sister, he would bear the consequences, which would be death.

Soon, he left the dormitory and arrived at the spot where Mark had killed those four cadets. At that moment, a crowd had gathered around the scene, and a group of cadets could be seen frowning and talking while looking at the signs of the battle.

Orion ignored the scene and headed toward the library. He knew that no matter how they investigated this, it would never lead back to them unless that cadet decided to report his missing friends.

He was certain of it. The entire time he had been healing Tracy while others fought against those four cadets, his perception had been spread to the fullest because of it; he knew there weren't any cadets who had witnessed the situation at that moment.

'So, this is the library.' Orion looked at the cylindrical-shaped building in front of him. It was a tall skyscraper, but quite wide.

With a golden hue and faint red color, 'Dollas Library' was written in capital, bold font that shone with neon lights.

It reminded Orion of the bars and malls of Earth, where everything was decorated with neon lights, but in this place, it might be his first time seeing the use of neon lights in a library.

He headed toward a small building beside the huge library. One couldn't simply enter the library just because they wanted to; proper identification was needed for that, and the small building beside the library was where one could verify their identity.

However, just as Orion reached that place, he noticed a small line of about 10 to 15 cadets waiting.

"Have you heard? Orion Darkwood was spotted in the Martial Domain just a while ago."

"Yeah, many people saw him, and he even killed some people outright in broad daylight. He is as evil as described in the stories."

"But I heard he only killed the murderers who escaped after killing someone."

"You know nothing. They were common people, and Orion ruthlessly killed them all."

"No, I'm very sure they were criminals, and Orion only killed them. He didn't touch the common people."

"You got the wrong information, hehe."

Orion was shocked to hear them. He had been impersonating someone else in the Limitless Void, and some random dude had decided to impersonate him, most importantly defaming his name.
