Chapter 94: Meeting the Princess Again
The sun was already climbing higher in the sky, casting a golden glow over the academy’s pristine white marble paths as Orion walked confidently toward the Main Building.
Looking ahead, he saw the central plaza coming into view, filled with students heading in all directions. Groups broke off toward the dormitories to the northeast and northwest, while others went westward toward the combat fields.
Some newcomers glanced at their maps from time to time with furrowed brows, trying to find locations.
Orion, in contrast, looked completely relaxed, walking calmly on the pathway. His eyes occasionally shifted toward different paths and structures, matching them to the map he held loosely in one hand.
However, the crowd’s whispers followed after him.
"That’s him... the one with four affinities," a girl in red robes murmured to her friend, her voice filled with awe.
"Did you see how shocked the teachers were when he revealed his four affinities? That was a sight to behold." Another student excitedly whispered to her friend while clutching her own badge tightly.
A noble-born boy, wearing the sigil of a Viscount House on his shoulder, clicked his tongue with an exaggerated sigh. "Tch, show-off. Just another spoiled noble. See him crumble down when he can’t live up to all that talent."
Orion didn’t even glance back.
’Heh... burn with jealousy, you mediocre idiots,’ he thought with a smirk, flipping the map in his hand just for show.
He wasn’t even using it now, as he had already memorized the important locations. All that mattered now was reaching the Main Building and attending the opening ceremony.
