"Excuse ... are you Mr. Orion?"
A sweet voice rang out from behind.
When Orion turned, he saw a teenage girl about his age standing under a tree, a gentle smile on her face.
"Yes... that’s ," he replied. "But how do you know about ?"
The girl’s smile didn’t waver. "Hello, Mr. Orion. I’m Sabrina, and I’d like to have a chat with you—if you don’t mind."
Orion imdiately noticed how she had completely dodged his question. Curiosity got the better of him.
"Alright, Sabrina... where do you want to talk?"
Sabrina gestured toward a park near the Revenant Corporation buildings. They walked together, and after a short stroll, they found a quiet seating area and sat down.
"So," Orion said in a serious tone, "can you finally tell how you know about ?"
"What a silly question... you’re quite popular, you know, Mr. Orion," she replied with a light chuckle.
"Yeah... more popular than I’d like to be," he muttered. Then realized she was trying to dodge his question again.
Orion’s curiosity turned to frustration.
"Look, if we’re going to have a conversation, you can’t keep avoiding my questions," he snapped.
Sabrina sighed. "Fine... let’s just say I saw you during the academy entrance test."
’You guess,’ Orion thought, still suspicious. But he let it go.
"Anyway... what’s your business with ?"
Sabrina’s smile turned mischievous. "Your skills, of course. I’m very curious about the unusual abilities you use. And not to ntion—you killed a B-rank monster. Tell , Mr. Orion... how did you manage that?"
Orion stiffened. Very few people knew about that.
"Appraisal," he muttered.
But nothing happened.
His eyes widened in shock.
’This little girl... she’s S-rank or higher? How is that possible?’
He realized she wasn’t a normal human.
’Of course she isn’t normal,’ he thought dryly. ’At this point, I wouldn’t even be surprised if she turned out to be so ancient monster.’
"Why did you go silent all of a sudden, Mr. Orion?" she asked, breaking his thoughts.
"Oh... nothing. Just thinking," he replied.
"Oh my... where are your manners, Mr. Orion? Don’t you know it’s rude to wander off while talking to a lady?" she teased.
A strange sense of déjà vu washed over him—it was exactly how Ember would speak.
"And by the way, Mr. Orion... what was that you just tried to do? It felt like you were peering deep into my soul," she added, eyes narrowing.
"Huh... what do you an?" Orion began sweating. One of his biggest secrets was in the spotlight, close to being exposed.
"Was it one of your skills... the kind that gathers information on people?" she asked casually, leaning back in her chair.
’Holy shit... this woman is terrifying. I need to be careful,’ he thought, feeling cornered. His dragon pride did not like it one bit.
"Look here, lady. Since the beginning, it’s only been you asking questions. Do you mind if I ask one?" he snapped.
"Oh? Go ahead," Sabrina said, intrigued.
Orion leaned back, smirking. "You’re not exactly normal yourself, are you? Tell ... what are you really?"
For the first ti, Orion noticed a hint of concern in her eyes.
"What do you an? I’m just a student, just like you—"
He cut her off. "Last I checked, there aren’t any students above S-rank in the academy."
Orion started sweating, but oddly enough... he felt satisfied.
For once, she was the one being cornered.
"You should know, Mr. Orion... prying into a lady’s secrets can be... dangerous," she said, wearing the most dangerous smile Orion had ever seen.
’Oh shit... I’m in trouble now,’ he thought, sweat pouring down his face.
Then her appearance shifted. The teenage girl vanished, replaced by a tall, curvy woman whose face was covered by a veil.
Orion wasn’t surprised—he had expected sothing like this.
Yet, he felt a strange attraction to her. He didn’t understand why—although her figure was unnaturally alluring, she still didn’t have the most beautiful figure he had ever seen; that title belonged to Ember.
Then he noticed a faint pink aura surrounding her. It looked similar to the one Sofia had when they were having sex. But what surprised him even more was that the aura felt quite similar to the one Ember had used on him when they first t. Instantly, he activated his Dragon Charm to counter hers.
"Are you trying to charm ?" Orion growled. "Tell ... are you a succubus?"
Sabrina’s aura vanished at once. She leaned closer, eyes wide.
"How do you know that? Have you ever t a succubus?"
"I might have t a half-succubus—but that’s not important. Tell ... what do you really want from ?" Orion started to grow impatient. He didn’t care that she was a succubus; after all, he was in a magic-filled world and already had so experience with succubus..
Sabrina ignored his question. "Half-succubus... interesting..." Her eyes drifted, then snapped back. "But you... Aren’t you a dragon yourself, Mr. Orion?" she said with a smirk.
"What? How did you know that?" Orion’s eyes widened.
"Fu fu fu... I didn’t until you confird it. Your aura gave it away. As for what I want... have you ever heard of the New World Order?"
Orion’s eyes narrowed. "Yes... don’t tell you’re one of them and want to join them."
"Bullseye," Sabrina said, a teasing grin spreading across her face.
"Look, I have my own problems to deal with. I can’t join right now... though maybe later," Orion replied carefully. He didn’t want to reject her outright—he had no idea what she might do if he did.
"You might want to reconsider," Sabrina said softly. "In all my long life, nothing has excited as much as you... So I won’t be leaving you alone."
Orion sighed. "Anyway... I should leave now."
As he stood, he glanced back. "One last thing... do you have any connection to the Red Dragon sohow?"
Her composure faltered, her eyes narrowing.
"Why would you say that?"
"No reason. You just remind of soone I know."
Then Without letting her respond, Orion vanished in a flash using his teleportation skill.
Sabrina remained seated, silently processing his words—and his teleportation. Then she laughed softly, a low, dangerous sound.
"Ha... very interesting," she murmured. "This could get... fun."
"Oops... it seems I’ve gotten wet."
"Sigh... I need to change my underwear... fufu, fufufu."
Then she vanished.
Back in his room, Orion appeared instantly using his teleportation skill. As soon as he arrived, he ca face-to-face with Lilian.
Crash!
The wine glass in her hands slipped, shattering on the floor. She stared at Orion, mouth agape.
"Sighhhh... beam up, Jesus," Orion muttered.
