If one looks carefully, one could see she has an hourglass figure. The problem was that no one truly dared to look at the man and woman. Everyone had lowered their heads in deep dread and had stopped enjoying their meal and drinks.

What shocked Orpheus and especially Lily was the insignia on the two chests, a star, the emblem of the Saint Star Academy.

Never could she have expected to encounter students from a rival school here, Lily’s eyes immediately shone and she thought of something. She secretly take out her insignia and Orpheus chuckled upon seeing this, he was well aware of what this girl was trying to do.

Therefore he decided to wait and see what Lily would do and from what he could tell those two, especially the woman’s status wasn’t simply because of her strength, she must be one of the students of the elite, probably from the S class in the other side, meaning that he must have a connection with that man. So, the moment those two appeared he decided to use them regardless of what would happen.

Meanwhile, the tall man the 6.5 feet man walked alongside the woman in a white gown and took seats around a table in the dining room. The man’s tattoos on his overly muscular arms and neck stood out and gave him a menacing appearance. His bald head shined under the lights from the ceiling as he asked the seventeen-year-old waitress for a menu.

The waitress hurriedly passed the menu from her trembling hands. Her entire body was soaked with sweat but she tried her best to not faint. She truly dreaded this man the most in the world even though he has never been violent or verbally abusive toward her.

She passed a glance towards the woman who was covered in a white garment from head to toe. Her face was covered with a thin veil and the waitress could visualize the gorgeous face thanks to the short distance between them. She was a beauty with charming olive skin, sensuous red lips, red hair, phoenix eyes, a short but cute nose, and soft cheeks. Her soft, smooth feet were clad in black strapped sandals.

The waitress found it hard to believe such an alluring woman was in her younger than her still her teens.

“Illya North from the Star Academy, one of the elite students of the S class.” The waitress thought with both admiration and fear. She then took a glance at Illya’s male companion, and her heart instantly tensed. “Hellion North her brother.”

She trembled as she observed the gauntlets wrapped around his hands and that that emitted a murderous presence. She has witnessed those gauntlets in action and the gore that followed.

At the same time, across a table in the corner, Orpheus and Lily were having their meal. They were the only ones who had an appetite for the other patrons in the dining have stopped eating. They were just sitting with their heads bowed; not daring to make a single noise.

Orpheus placed them in front of him. He took the fork and started to eat his pasta while silently checking out Illya. She was sitting in the opposite direction so he could only see her back but for him, this was no problem if he wanted to check her, he could see every if he wants to and she wouldn’t feel anything even with her sharp senses, still, he did nothing but observe for now.

The four continued their meals in peace until Hellion spotted Lily’s emblem and his eyes changed turning bloodshot.

”Heaven Star scums.” He shouted while standing up from his seat and those who knew the history between the two schools held their breath, ready to watch a good show.

Illya frowned but had no intention of stopping her brother, Hellion released his strength, and his Level 4 origin master strength put enormous pressure on those present, even Lily who had the same strength frowned and snorted just as she was about to act she remembered Orpheus and feigned suffering and even if he knew what she was doing he decided to play along and reap the benefits later.

Orpheus stepped forward both Hellion and Illya were surprised because they couldn’t feel anything from this man unlike that girl so they hadn’t paid him any attention but unexpectedly he was the bravest one, either he was brave or plain stupid and just as Hellion was decided to teach this man a lesson it happened.

A frightening power erupted from Orpheus’s body like a tsunami. His black hair danced in the tempest of his raging aura while his eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

Those present stopped as they felt a chill crawl up their spine. It was like a sharp metal was piercing their heart, making it difficult for them to breathe.

​

Every part of Orpheus radiated its dominance through his stifling aura and only Lily seemed to be protected from this fierce storm, even Illya who was stronger than Hellion was shocked and her interest was picked, this man had the same bearing as that genius, that person she couldn’t compete against, the first person she lost against, the man that taught him the taste of defeat.

‘This young man can be used as a sharpening stone against that man.’ Illya thought while trying to endure the pressure coming from Orpheus, she would have fainted in despair if she knew that this pressure coming from him was not even one-tenth of his strength and that the man she was trying to compete against was beyond anything she could imagine, that he was stronger than even the strongest origin masters in this world.

While Illya was lost in thoughts, Hellion her brother was panicking, still, he couldn’t lose face here as it would mean losing the academy’s face, their prestige would be tarnished especially facing students from the rival school.

”Petty trick, I can -” Hellion didn’t finish this sentence before it happened.
