Chapter 218: Meeting Instructor Viren Again
The following morning, Orion found himself comfortably seated inside the luxurious obsidian carriage, gently rolling on the smoothly paved road toward Thunderpeak Royal Academy.
Bright morning sunlight streamed gently through the carriage’s silk-curtained windows, casting a soft, warm glow over the plush, cushioned interior.
Orion reclined leisurely against the velvet-lined seat, a relaxed and calm expression on his face as he quietly chatted with Lumi, planning out his day ahead.
[Master, have you decided what you want to do first when we get to the academy today? (๑•ᴗ•๑)]
Orion thoughtfully nodded, his gaze turning contemplative as he looked out the window at the passing scenery—the bustling city streets slowly transitioning to the quieter avenues leading toward the academy grounds.
’As usual, I will first go to check on Arya and Emilia,’ he mused quietly, fingers gently tapping against his thigh as he spoke. ’It’s been about a week since we last met. Let’s see how they’ve progressed in this time.’
[Great idea! Arya and Emilia would definitely have been training hard too, especially due to the pressure that is upon them as heirs of noble and royal houses. And Arya would probably be eager to chat with you again. (≧∇≦)]
Orion chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. ’Indeed, it’s a shame how much pressure is upon those girls. But that will also help to push them forward. I’ll talk to them first and catch up properly before doing anything else.’
He paused briefly, his mind clearly visualizing the day’s schedule. ’Afterwards, we’ll head straight for the Tower of Myths again. It’s been a while since I last challenged it. Testing my improvements in combat there should be interesting.’
[Lumi can’t wait to see that! You’ll definitely go much higher now with your newly mastered spells and improved swordsmanship! You will surprise everyone again! (•̀ᴗ•́)و]
Orion chuckled hearing her relentless praise. ’Well, we’ll see. I hope to gain some more insight into my sword skills as well. The tower is the perfect environment for this kind of practical experience, especially against skilled echoes of past students.’
