Damien was surprised to see a flawlessly beautiful girl around nineteen years old wearing a snow-gauze long dress that covered her feet, entering the class with graceful steps. Her crystal and charming azure eyes were cold and frigid as a frozen abyss, with her face expressionless as an ice cube. Her long sapphire-colored hair that flowed down her back made her look like an avatar of the beautiful oceans. Boys and girls alike, their mouths went agape seeing the otherworldly beauty enter their class. No…-

"B-Damien, which division are you in?" Valentina asked with a radiant smile hoping that he was in the same as hers. Yara Haley walked behind her, curious to see the person Valentina was in love with so badly closer. She was surprised to see the change in Valentina's expression when she talked with Damien. It was nowhere near the stone-cold face she had before. She was also in the same division as Valentina's. "I am in division one. What about you?" Damien said as he focused his gaze. Valentina's smile…

The man talked for a while, "...Now, I humbly invite our esteemed headmaster to say a few words." The man bowed before an old man dressed in dignified azure robes, who got up and nodded with a smile. There was pin-drop silence across the hall as everyone stopped whispering, not to be rude when the Xeton Ethereal Foundation's respected headmaster was going to speak. Leon Xeton came forward and swept his gaze over the disciples assembled in the hall. He said in a gentle voice, "Welcome, my disciples.…

As Damien got inside a vast hall, he already saw that most of the disciples were seated with the Elite disciples sitting in the front, Gold disciples in the middle, and Bronze in the back. The seats were arranged in an elevated style so that the ones sitting in the back could clearly see the people standing on the platform. He saw that each seat was already preassigned to every disciple to avoid any confusion. He sat down on the seat allotted to him and looked around the hall. There were around fifty…

As he entered inside, a large hallway came into sight with many people going here and there. Damien saw many of the people present were gathered together at one place with their heads cocked upwards. Wondering what they were looking at, he looked closer. He saw that it was an ethereal projection showing the layout of the whole Xeton Ethereal Foundation. It had all the information regarding where each class, department, hall, and other facilities were located. He saw that the building had few floors,…

As Damien was walking alone towards the Xeton Ethereal Foundation, people's heads turned as soon as they noticed the azure armband on his arm, signifying his status as an Elite disciple in the Xeton Ethereal Foundation. Looking at his young features, some wondered from which prestigious family's young master he was while some recognized him as the monstrous genius with the Lightning seed. They all knew that Elite disciples' status was so high that even regional lords would bow before them. Because they…

A few hours ago, in the main hall of the Clive Family's grand mansion, a young boy was kneeling on the floor before a middle-aged man with a stocky build and a stern bearing. Another tall and brawny youngster around twenty years old stood on the side with a frown on his face. The young man kneeling on the floor was none other than Cedric Clive, and half of his face was so swollen that even his own mother couldn't recognize him for a few moments right after he came back home. Cedric's countenance was…

"No...Sofie...I will save you. I won't let you die...please come back!" Damien shouted, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on his bed, and the sky was dark with only the moon illuminating it. "A nightmare again…" Damien muttered as he wiped the sweat flowing down his forehead. He realized that his heart was still stuck in the past and wondered why he can't have happy dreams about Sofie. Unknowingly his eyes had become moist. "Big Brother! Are you alright?" Valentina asked with a…

Damien gently smiled as he hugged her, "Relax, it's natural to get hurt during fights. Besides, it doesn't even sting the least bit now." Valentina touched his back softly and sensed that his wound had almost completely healed up. Feeling relieved, she then asked as they walked, "Big Brother, you didn't win on purpose, right?" Damien faintly smiled but didn't say anything. Valentina understood from his face that her speculation was right. She realized that Damien had a few chances to take the wristband…

Damien admired that at least the headmaster didn't seem corrupt on the outside anyway, as he even didn't hesitate to offend the Clive Family just to admit him into the Elite Batch. He wondered if his talent seemed very astonishing to the point that the headmaster wanted to take him in as a student or whether it was because of Valentina. The assessment resumed just as Leon Xeton left and the proctors were reading out the results. Valentina obviously made it into the Elite batch, but her eyes were darting…
