Crimson Overlord

While Orpheus was reading the Student’s Code, a figure appeared above his dormitory; the man was tall, at least 2 meters (6.5 ft), with short hair, black and rugged looks in his mid-thirties.

Deploying his spirit perception, he detected Orpheus’s presence in one of the rooms. He smirked before his expression turned gloomy, and he started cursing.

”What a surprise! Damn it! I am the teacher of the Heaven Star Academy, but unexpectedly, I have to run over secretly to test a freshman’s strength at night. What is going on in Sister Quinn’s mind? Once other teachers know this matter, it will be a disgrace to me. Riggs, you must keep it a secret for me, or my reputation will be ruined on one day.”

The man muttered into the stone around his neck, and this stone a voice came out.

“What reputation do you have? Hurry up, get to work. Marcus, I personally advise you to be more careful this time. We don’t know the origin of this freshman, but Sister Quinn pays special attention to him, so I’m afraid that he is by no means simple. If you should lose to this freshman, well, that will really be something laughable.”

”Hahaha! Do not talk nonsense. How powerful can a freshman be? He is just a rookie. Riggs, do you want to make a bet?”

Marcus sneered with a disdainful look. Although he didn’t know why sister Quinn was so interested in this freshman, to the point of sending someone to test him, he didn’t believe he was so powerful to beat him. He was after Level 4 Origin master; although he was at the early stage of Level 4, he was still nonetheless a Level 4 Origin master.

“I don’t want to make a f*cking bet! Well, I’m glad you still know that our goal is a rookie. Do you feel embarrassed about betting on him? Hurry up to get to work. You know Sister Quinn is impatient… If you cannot handle this matter expeditiously, hehe…”

Inside the stone, Riggs grinned.

Marcus shook his head helplessly and sighed. He looked reluctantly at the dormitory rooftop and murmured, “This job is boring. It’s so boring.”

But he knew even though the job was tedious, he must still carry it out. From the storage ring on his finger, he took a thin spear and aimed the tip at the rooftop right above Orpheus’s head. He was still checking everything happening inside the room but cautiously not to alert the boy; he was known for his exceptional spirit perception, which few could detect once he deployed it.

The freshman was still focused on reading the Student’s Code; it was possible to know all these things with a powerful spirit perception; it was as if he was seeing things from a satellite.

”At least you are not slacking off, already reading the Student’s Code. Good boy.”

A smile crept over the corners of Marcus’s mouth, but it suddenly froze the next second.

Down in the bedroom, the freshman, who should have never discovered anything that Marcus had done, raised his head abruptly and looked straight up at the roof, almost as soon as he spear started to pierce the rooftop.

In a split second, Marcus felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a chill spread directly from his head to toe.

In an instant, the comely and weak freshman had already stood up. The eyes that had been calm and gentle a moment ago, had a distinct change in the twinkling of an eye.

It should be a pair of clear and gentle eyes, but at this moment, they carried a touch of incomparable devilishness and chill. They appeared more crimson, giving him a certain devilish charm.

Never have Marcus had seen such a devilish look, but subconsciously, he perceived a great danger.

It was the instinctive fear of death to any living creature. There was no way for Marcus to escape. He had no alternative but despair. He felt like he was standing before an absolute predator from whom he couldn’t escape; every fiber of his being was warning him to escape.

He had only one thought at the moment, which was to flee as far as possible from this thing.

”What is it? Why are you silent, Marcus?” From the other side, Riggs, who noticed that something was not right, reached out, but the response he got shocked him.

”I got discovered,” Marcus replied with his heartbeat accelerating.

”What?” It was like thunder hit him; he knew better than anybody how strong Marcus was, how strong his spirit perception was; however, after hearing that even Marcus, whose spirit perception should be placed in the top 5 when it comes to being almost undetectable, got detected, Riggs knew that this freshman was by no mean normal thus he ordered.

”Escape!”

Marcus didn’t need to be told twice as it was exactly what he intended to do anyway.

However, it was already too late. Marcus felt an intense chill, and he knew he was in danger. Relying on his spirit perception and his quickness, he moved.

BANG!

Right after he moved from his spot, it exploded; Orpheus had kicked a metal plate he took from god know where at Marcus.

”Please stay, don’t be in a hurry to go back yet.”

Orpheus’s voice reached Marcus, who was still shocked by how powerful Orpheus was. Normal people would not have noticed that minor detail, but he noticed, at least he thought. To him, Orpheus must have enveloped the metal plate with origin making it sturdy and sharp; he then kicked it toward him. Only those closer to Level 4 could be able to do that. Marcus shivered at the thought of what his deduction implied.

Finally, Marcus, who was in a trance, registered Orpheus’s words, and he felt chill. There was no way he would stay.
