Crimson Overlord

Naturally, Orpheus noticed Kaguya spying on him but did nothing as it was only curiosity. As for Daniel and Leon marking as someone to watch and to eliminate, Orpheus noticed this too; they couldn't hide their killing intent; for the former, he couldn't be a problem as he seemed to be the impulsive type while Leon was not simple but not someone he should be afraid of, at best he would serve as entertainment.

Orpheus chuckled and got reminded that life at the academy would be interesting. He smiled; his smile shocked many, especially Amber; just as she was about to tease her Master, saying that he had followed her advice, the headmistress arrived. She came up on the podium; the headmistress was an extremely beautiful woman, with long green hair and emerald eyes; her long ears already informed people of her identity as Elf, a high elf.

"Hello, everyone; I am your headmistress. My name is Yasmine Rhea Yyddrasil. I welcome you to the Heaven Star Academy. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for making it here; now that you have become a student of our prestigious academy, don't slack off and continue to work hard. It will be hard, but I'm sure that you can make it and become a powerful origin master capable of exploring ruins.''

The headmistress began her speech. The speech was a bit boring since it was just the usual speech. After a few minutes, the speech was finally over, and few students were invited to make a speech; among them was the student council president, a third-year student.

A roaring round of applause soon echoed inside the auditorium as the student council president walked on the stage. She had long red hair with a beautiful hairpin on her hair, and a pair of beautiful hazel eyes. Every step she took was elegant. It seemed that she was also a young miss from a prominent family.

''Hello fellow students, and welcome. I'm Katherine Claus. I would...''

Orpheus closed his eyes, not interested in the student council president's speech, but soon her speech ended. What she talked about was primarily related to the student code, how to earn credits, what not to or how much credit needed per month to at least have access to low-level ruins under the academy's supervision.

The reason why Orpheus ignored Katherine's speech was because what she was talking about was only a summary; a more in-depth explanation would be given to them soon, so why bother listening? Besides, something was bothering him; he had a faint suspicion that something was not right. Someone was inside this auditorium, giving him a dangerous vibe, but he could not locate the source, which should have been impossible given his strength.

''Forget it, I will eventually discover whoever it's.'' Orpheus decided to stop thinking about the problem for now. He had something urgent to do right now, which was to locate the person sent by Nix, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything; he started to get annoyed.

Finally, the opening ceremony ended, and the students were asked to leave for their respective classes.

After the opening ceremony ended, Orpheus stood up, ready to leave. Suddenly, a pair of hands suddenly came from behind and grabbed his shoulder. He would have dodged if not for Grim walking in front of him. Sighing, he turned his head in Xiaosu's direction, and with an expressionless face, he asked.

''What do you want?"

Xiaosu ignored Orpheus's expression and shamelessly declared while smiling, "Kyle, let's go to class together. You're my new friend anyway."

''I see. Isn't it because you are running away from your fiancee?" Orpheus asked with the same expressionless face.

Xiaosu froze, unable to utter a word, while Xiaowen was shocked, wondering when his brother became so talkative that he even told a stranger about his fiancee.

''Let's go.'' Orpheus declared before leaving; Amber hurriedly followed him, leaving the Ren twins. Soon, another twin joined them, two beautiful young ladies Orpheus identified as members of one of the big families in the Eastern Empire, the Xiao family, one of them was Xiaosu's fiancee.

After walking for a while, Orpheus and Amber arrived in their classroom. Fortunately, the teacher had yet to arrive. In the classroom, the tables were not one-person tables. Instead, it was a two-people table.

The moment they walked in, they saw many students already inside, the twins' goddesses being one of them, Daniel Luxor Luxiria and Leon Ackes Neos, were also present. Orpheus didn't see Alvinia but saw a dark elf; she was with Alvinia at the opening ceremony.

After a quick scan of the classroom and find where he should sit, Orpheus walked toward his seat but couldn't help but frown as he saw who would be his deskmate; it was none other than Ren Xiaosu.

''Sigh! How annoying.'' Orpheus murmured; unexpectedly, someone sitting on his right heard him, and she asked.

''What is annoying?"

''Huh?'' Orpheus was a little surprised as he was not paying attention and thus didn't notice that the Ice queen was on his right.

''Well, I'm talking about the crown prince of the Eastern Empire.'' Orpheus didn't hide anything and told Kaguya.

She smiled; her smile was a little cold; nevertheless, it was still a beautiful smile.

''You are honest. I like that. Ops! I forget to introduce myself; I'm Kaguya Mio Sakura, the crown princess of the Peach blossom empire. Nice to meet you.''

''I'm Kyle Blake.'' Orpheus's answer was flat and short, but Kaguya was not offended. She was not someone that likes fake pretense anyway; straightforward people like Orpheus were more to her liking than those fools who immediately started to fawn over her right after she introduced herself.

''You are interesting; I can't see through you. You deliberately lured me to talk more with your first answer.'' Kaguya was smart, and she understood Orpheus's motive.

''Smart.'' Orpheus was pleased that Kaguya was smart and could easily see through his intention. If he wanted, he would have ignored her when she raised that question; he didn't refuse because of a reason.

''What do you want?" Orpheus asked Kaguya.
