Orion raised an eyebrow, "You took a day to read the book?"
Emilia looked at him weirdly. Arya shook her head, "It’s already good that I was able to read the entire book in a single day. After all, you exhaust yourself while reading those runes and understanding the intricacies."
’...I see. I underestimated myself.’
[Hehe~ Master finished the entire book in one night AND learned all the Core Elemental Runes. Wanna tell her? She might blow her top, keke! ✧(>o<)ノ✧]
He looked at Arya with interest and said, "...I read the entire book in the night today. It was quite interesting."
Arya blinked, clearly taken aback. "All of it? In one night? You’re joking, right?"
Emilia stared at Orion, eyes widened slightly in surprise and admiration.
Orion shrugged nonchalantly. "It was an enjoyable read. Anyway, I wanted to ask—are there classes today on Affinity Rune Formation and Spell Creation?"
Arya quickly nodded, regaining her composure. "Yes, actually. That’s exactly what’s scheduled for today. You planning to attend?"
Orion’s eyes brightened immediately. "Definitely. That’s precisely what I’m here to learn."
Arya laughed softly, clearly amused. "You really don’t hold back once you set your mind to something."
Emilia smiled faintly and nodded, clearly agreeing with Arya.
Orion chuckled, shaking his head. "The feeling of progress is addicting. Let’s hurry, we don’t want to miss anything important."
The three walked briskly toward the imposing main building of Thunderpeak Academy, its polished obsidian walls towering majestically under the soft glow of the morning sun.
Passing through the tall, mana-engraved entrance gates, Orion felt the atmosphere subtly change after entering.
Inside, the noise and bustling activity of students moving hurriedly through the spacious halls was mixed with a subtle tension from the commoners who hadn’t yet formed their runes.
’I wonder how many of them will fail?’ Shaking his head, he decided to ignore that for now.
Arya guided Orion and Emilia confidently through the busy hallways, eventually reaching the large lecture hall dedicated to Affinity Spell Theory.
The doors opened effortlessly, welcoming them into a wide, crescent-shaped auditorium filled with seats arranged in neat tiers around a central platform.
Orion paused momentarily at the entrance, his eyes swiftly scanning the expansive room.
The first row at the very front was clearly separated, ten pristine seats glowing faintly with soft mana illumination, symbolizing their exclusivity reserved for the academy’s most outstanding students for the year.
A few seats among them remained empty, while several others were occupied by figures Orion had seen previously, probably running late or not attending at all.
Among them, Orion immediately spotted Nyss, her graceful figure seated elegantly with confidence, silently reading a thick, rune-etched tome placed comfortably on her lap.
Her flowing dark hair framed her quiet expression, subtle and composed as always.
Orion smiled inwardly, walking purposefully forward toward his seat in the front row. Arya and Emilia followed just behind him, gracefully taking their places beside him.
Without hesitation, Orion seated himself comfortably beside Nyss, who briefly raised her gaze, locking eyes with him before offering a slight, acknowledging nod and returning to her silent reading.
