Chapter 81: Moonberry
Inside, it was a breathtaking scene as she sat by the window, gazing outside absentmindedly. Her beauty was truly something outside of this world. Even after visiting the academy, he hadn’t found a single girl as beautiful as her.
He stepped inside, "Hey, how have you been during the day?" he softly asked.
She neither replied nor reacted, making him shake his head. He took a step closer and pulled a chair, sitting directly in front of her on the opposite side of the table.
"You know, I went to the academy today and had to give this test to see my potential..." he began talking to her idly, sharing some interesting things that happened during the day.
The two of them sat in the room—one talking, the other listening in silence.
From outside, the golden rays of the setting sun came through the window, enveloping the entire room in warm light. The peaceful atmosphere lasted a while longer as Orion simply continued to speak.
He told her about the orb test, about Arya’s awakening, and even poked fun at himself for being called an "Elemental Freak" by the students.
Seraph said nothing, but she didn’t turn away either.
That was enough.
"...and then the orb almost lit up the ninth ring. I don’t know what would’ve happened if the ninth ring lit up. Maybe the dean herself would have come to see me?" he finished with a chuckle, scratching his cheek.
Still, silence.
