While on his date with Sofia, Orion found himself having a lot of fun.
They visited nurous tourist spots and romantic places, sampling street food along the way. At first, Sofia was disgusted by the street food, but after Orion encouraged her to try it, she soon began to enjoy it.
After their successful date, it was only natural that they ended up in a hotel room.
"Ahhhhh~!" Sofia moaned loudly.
Orion was thrusting as hard as he could, using the physical intensity to drive away all his stress.
"Are you about to release?" Sofia gasped out.
"Yes, baby... just hold on a little longer," Orion managed to say through gritted teeth.
After a few more monts, Orion finally finished. They rested for a while, but since it wasn’t very late—only around midnight—they decided not to stay at the hotel. Getting dressed, they left soon after and headed back to their respective hos.
Orion escorted Sofia back to her house. As they stood by her door, he looked at her with a warm expression.
"Alright... I’m sad our date has to end, but I had a lot of fun tonight. I’d like to do this more often," Orion said with a smile. He stepped closer, leaning in to give her a light, tender kiss on the lips.
"I’d like to go on more dates, too," Sofia replied, giving him a teasing smile. She winced slightly as she moved. "But every ti we... do it... I feel a bit sore afterward. You’re way too rough."
Then her expression shifted into a seductive smile. "And I wouldn’t have it any other way."
Orion laughed awkwardly at her words.
After saying goodbye to Lilian, he left for ho, though doubts lingered in his mind about whether Lilian and Naomi were still awake or not.
When Orion knocked on the door, it opened imdiately.
Lilian stood before him.
Orion was surprised.
Her eyes were red.
’Was she crying... or was it because she hadn’t slept yet?’ he wondered.
"Were you awake the entire ti?" Orion asked as he stepped inside.
"Yes," Lilian replied in a low voice. "Were you with Sofia today, too?"
Orion sighed. "Look, I can’t talk about this right now. I really need so sleep. I’ve been stressed all day," he said, turning toward his room.
"Then talk to !" Lilian shouted.
Orion stopped and gave her a look.
Lilian imdiately understood—he wasn’t in the mood to talk.
She stord off to her room and slamd the door shut.
"Stupid... stupid... stupid man," she muttered as tears welled up in her eyes.
After stressing over it for a while, she finally fell asleep.
The next morning, when Orion sat down at the dining table, Lilian scoffed and imdiately looked away upon seeing him.
Orion let out a loud sigh,
"Lilian, I’m sorry about last night... but what do you want to do?" he asked helplessly.
"Nothing," she snapped. "As we understand, you can do whatever the hell you want."
Her voice was raised—she was clearly angry.
Her mood didn’t change even during the carriage ride.
After reaching their destination, Orion went straight to class.
"Hey, man! I saved a seat for you—here!" Estaban waved as soon as Orion entered.
"Oh, hey. Where’s Sofia?" Orion asked as he sat down.
Estaban glared at him.
"You ask where she is... as if you don’t already know," he shouted.
"Who brought her ho late last night, hmm?" Estaban added, stepping closer. "When I asked if she was coming to the academy, she said she was a bit sore."
Orion imdiately started sweating. ’Damn... she actually told him that,’
"I think she was sore because she didn’t get much sleep last night," Estaban said casually.
Estaban was completely clueless about what Sofia had actually ant.
Orion, on the other hand, was shocked—though, to be fair, he had fully expected Estaban to be this oblivious.
Orion leaned back slightly. "Alright, man, relax. I’m sorry. It won’t happen again—I promise," he said.
Estaban sighed. "You’re lucky my father wasn’t ho. If he were, he’d hunt you down and hang you in the middle of the capital."
Orion gulped. There were only a few things that truly scared him—but an angry father of the girl you’re dating was definitely one of them.
"So... will she attend class today?" Orion asked, already missing her.
"Relax, Roo. She’ll be here for the later classes."
Roo? Orion froze.
"Wait—how do you know about Roo?"
"What do you an?" Estaban replied. "Haven’t you seen the play? It was made by the sa guy who made Train."
Yep... that bastard is definitely from Earth, Orion thought. Shalessly stealing other people’s work. Pathetic thief.
The irony of his thoughts went completely unnoticed by him.
Soon, a teacher entered the classroom. Instead of teaching, he spent the entire period introducing himself. The class ended right after.
"Well, that was uneventful," Orion muttered.
"Yeah, what a letdown," Estaban said. "By the way, want to check out where the hero candidates are training? We might learn sothing."
"Sure," Orion replied.
They soon reached the training grounds, where many students had gathered. Aguri and Revo were in the middle of training.
Watching them, Orion understood why they were hero candidates. Their movents weren’t as fluid as Lilian’s, but their strength and skills were on a different level.
After a while, Aguri and Revo took a short break.
Orion spotted Lilian standing in a corner and decided to approach her.
"Hey, Lilian," he said, waving.
She snorted and turned away.
"Co on... how long are you going to be like this?"
Lilian remained silent.
Orion sighed. "So you’re really not going to talk to , huh?"
Suddenly, a voice shouted from behind.
"Can’t you see she doesn’t want to talk to you?"
Orion turned and saw the dark-haired, Oriental-looking her candidate.
"What’s your problem, man?" Orion asked.
"You’re harassing a lady—that’s my problem," the boy said angrily.
"Just because you have so strength doesn’t an you can do whatever you want."
"You misunderstood—it’s nothing like that," Orion replied, but the boy didn’t listen.
"I’ve seen a lot of guys like you," he snapped. "And you disgust ."
That was the last straw.
Lilian stepped forward.
"Who the hell are you to defend ?" she shouted, her voice echoing across the training ground.
"Do you think I’m so defenseless woman who can’t protect herself?"
Everyone went silent.
"And just so you know, I saw your training," she continued coldly.
"You’re sloppy. Sure, your skills are powerful—but your technique is sloppy."
Aguri stiffened.
"And by the way," Lilian added sharply, "he isn’t harassing . We share a house, for God’s sake."
Aguri felt completely humiliated. But what stung even more than the humiliation was Lilian’s remark about living together with Orion.
’They live together... don’t tell they already—’
He couldn’t finish the thought. His face turned red with anger.
"Don’t worry, Lilian," Orion said calmly. "Let handle this."
He picked up the gloves.
"I accept your duel."
