Han Luen replied in a casual tone,
“Whatever. You need to get some sleep now.”
Zhua didn’t argue.
He simply lay down on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the curtains, shining directly onto Zhua’s face and waking him up.
He lazily stretched, trying to shake off the drowsiness still clinging to his body.
I really want to keep sleeping, he thought calmly.
He glanced toward Han Luen’s bed and immediately noticed that she wasn’t there.
“Maybe she already left… or she’s making breakfast,” Zhua muttered to himself.
He wasn’t bothered if she had left.
In fact, it was only natural.
She was an Awakened and a nurse.
She was bound to have plenty of responsibilities.
Besides, her younger brother was also taking the entrance examination for the Awakened Academy.
Zhua stopped thinking about it.
He put on his shoes, opened the door, and walked downstairs.
After eating breakfast at the inn, he returned to his room to take a shower and change into clean clothes before heading out into the streets.
Outside, he relaxed as he walked.
The entrance examination should begin tomorrow.
Normally, it’ll consist of duels between students.
Two examinees will fight each other while the judges made up of professors and former graduates decide whether they’re qualified to enter the academy.
I don’t need to worry.
I’m the best.
He smiled arrogantly.
But I still need to become stronger.
More.
More.
Even more.
A cool breeze brushed gently against his face, allowing him to relax completely.
Soon, he noticed a crowd gathering around an elegant carriage decorated with the purple and crimson crest of a noble family.
A servant stepped forward and opened the carriage door.
Someone stepped out.
It was a young woman.
She had long, voluminous red hair that gradually faded into a lighter shade toward the tips.
The hair at the back was tied into a small, low ponytail.
One of her eyes was sky blue.
The other was amethyst violet.
Her features were refined, delicate, sharp, and elegant.
She had smooth, flawless skin, slender fingers, fair porcelain-like complexion, a small and subtle nose, slightly large eye sockets, and a graceful, feline figure with a perfectly toned yet slender physique.
She wore a simple yet elegant blue dress.
Zhua stared at her.
“Quariea Aucelia…”
He whispered the name under his breath.
She was famous for being the youngest daughter of the Aucelia Family.
The Duke adored her more than anyone.
She was equally well known for her explosive temper and overwhelming love of battle traits that her father, the Duke, had tried countless times to suppress, all without success.
After watching her for a moment, Zhua decided to continue toward the academy and quietly left the area.

Quariea stepped down from the carriage without paying the slightest attention to the people surrounding her.
Looking at her butler, she said coldly,
“Clear the way. We need to get to the academy immediately.”
She glanced around, already bored.
All she wanted was to arrive at the academy as quickly as possible.
As far as she was concerned, the entrance examination would be effortless.
The possibility of defeat never once crossed her mind.
No matter the situation, she could only picture herself winning.
She wanted to fight powerful opponents each one stronger than the last.
And crush them all.
“I want to play a video game like god of war ,i truly want to return home.” She through about that

Elsewhere in the city…
A young woman with long, voluminous black hair and obsidian-black eyes emerged from a shadow.
She had gentle, innocent-looking features, pale skin, and wore a simple black dress.
Holding the sheath of her katana, she quietly entered a café.
“A cream cake, please,” she said.
The waitress smiled politely.
“Your name, please?”
The young woman answered,
“Yuag Oneria.”

Somewhere else…
A figure entered a prison.
The cell door opened.
Inside sat a young man with pale blond hair, amber eyes, and proud, exquisitely handsome features.
He smiled brightly.
“Ah, thank you, my dear beloved sister.”
Han Luen looked at him with an annoyed expression.
“You’re lucky that noble decided not to press charges after you punched him. Next time, I won’t be coming to get you out of here, Han Zuen.”
Han Zuen laughed lightly.
“Hm… you’re only angry because you had to leave behind that guy you were helping.”
He grinned teasingly.
“Don’t worry. You’ll probably see him again at the academy… once I pass the entrance exam.”
