Chapter 371: Choosing Reward

Slowly, Orion’s breathing evened out, his eyelids gradually closing as exhaustion fully claimed him.

The quietness of his room surrounded him like a comforting embrace, providing a peaceful sanctuary after the intense mental and physical trials he’d endured for what felt like years to him.

As the first gentle rays of dawn broke over the horizon, the city of Thunderpeak began to awaken. The sky was painted in delicate shades of soft oranges, purples, and red—a beautiful combination of colors heralding the arrival of a new day.

Orion, refreshed and resolute, stepped calmly into his luxurious obsidian carriage waiting outside the grand entrance of his residence with Lucan and Edgar.

The polished black surface gleamed softly under the warm glow of the rising sun, accented by intricately engraved silver runes that shimmered faintly.

The carriage, exuding elegance and quiet authority, awaited Orion’s arrival, drawn by a pair of majestic horses.

Edgar opened the carriage window, gesturing for Orion to head inside. Orion entered smoothly and settled comfortably onto the plush cushions while Edgar took his seat opposite him.

A thoughtful expression filled his handsome face as he gazed out the window, observing the bustling streets and waking citizens.

Lucan swiftly got into his position and smoothly began the journey toward Thunderpeak Royal Academy.

The only people on the streets were the students going toward the academy or the nobles going to and from their estates.

Orion’s obsidian carriage moved gracefully through the calm streets, effortlessly drawing attention from bystanders, whispers and curious gazes following his elegant conveyance as it had been a while since he last came to this area of the city.

Inside, Orion sat quietly, his mind brimming with plans. His previous conversations with Continuum and the other Legacy Holders echoed within his thoughts.

He understood clearly that he needed to act swiftly and decisively. His world stood precariously close to an inevitable confrontation with the Demons, and Orion realized that the people he needed and wanted to protect were increasing.

His fingers drummed lightly against the armrest, his expression calm yet resolute. ’I should head there now. I’ve delayed it long enough,’ he murmured inwardly, solidifying his immediate goal.

Lumi’s voice gently resonated within his mind, cheerful and supportive as always:

[I’m sure you’ll find what you are looking for, Master! The academy has all sorts of knowledge. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧]

Orion smiled inwardly, nodding slowly in agreement. ’Indeed. I heard from Arya that it’s there. Now about time I go and check it out.’

Soon, Orion’s luxurious obsidian carriage rolled smoothly to a stop before the grand gates of Thunderpeak Royal Academy.

The towering iron gates, engraved with intricate symbols depicting the academy’s glorious history, stood proudly in the morning sun, emanating a dignified air.

As Orion calmly stepped out of the carriage, Edgar offered a respectful nod, while Lucan gently steered the horses and carriage to the side.

Orion straightened his robes and approached the massive gates, showing his student badge to the guards standing watch. Recognizing his identity, they immediately opened the gates without question.

Upon stepping inside the academy grounds, Orion paused briefly, noting that the once bustling pathways were unusually calm.

Students still walked the paved walkways, but their numbers were noticeably reduced—many undoubtedly busy preparing for the upcoming second round of tests.
