"I'm afraid I don't understand your question." Helix replied. "How did you convince your servant to accept the request to join you so easily? My servant would freeze up and desperately convince me to reconsider if I made that request." Marie commented. "Same with mine...." Riley added in wonder. Helix gave her a slight smile. "I made Emelia my aid instead of a servant." Helix explained while looking at Emelia with a warm smile. "When we went shopping for new clothes, I explained that she represents…-

"Do you even understand what classification of shit-storm you unleashed on Myriad?" "I… take it I ended up using my Nightmare then?" Helix asked with a wry chuckle. Macron gave him a puzzled expression. "Wait… you don't know if you used your Nightmare? You best not mess with me, boy. If you do, I'll rip out a healthy rib and stab it through your lungs on purpose." "Woah… there's no reason to make hasty decisions!" Helix replied while raising his hands in surrender. "Then explain. Start from…

"Please! Just save him! I don't care what you have to do." "Please calm down, woman! We're trying!" The sound of a door burst open. "What the hell happened!?" "We found two of the new arrivals in a hallway, and this man's ribs were severely cracked." "Names!" "Their names are Lucas Wheatfield and Ethan Myers." "Send them to my office, now!" "Yes, sir!" "What's his condition, Elsa?" "He's stable right now and is unlikely to die. It looks like a fist cracked three of his ribs. His lungs aren't…

"W-What do you mean I'm famous?" Lucas asked shyly. "Why are you smiling? You're not famous for a good reason." Helix replied with a mocking expression. "Wait… what did you just say!?" Lucas yelled in a panic. Helix laughed. "You're famous because of what you're doing right now." "What the hell do you—" "Some girls heard you yelling from inside your room last night. The same is true of you, Ethan Myers." Helix interjected with narrowed eyes. His laugh was gone, and his expression froze the…

"Well, well. If it isn't the famous Helix Hellsworth Margrave." A young man called out. Two men on either side of him started snickering. "How much bribe money did it take for you to learn my full name?" Helix asked with a sigh. "Only 215 gold coins." The young man laughed. Helix sighed again. "Did you know that you can buy ten acres of land and a harem of twelve servants in Myriad with that much money?" He asked with a melancholy expression. "Whoever made you that deal ripped you off something…

"When you put it that way, it does make sense to invest in our servants." David pondered. "Besides—" Helix said with a genuine smile. "Isn't that bright smile worth it?" He asked with a warm gaze. Everyone present turned to look at the young woman again. While she stood in the corner gossiping with the other servants, she had a dazzling smile while showing off her dress. The other female servants were touching the fabric and commenting on her earrings. "Can I sit with you guys?" A female voice…

"Wow. It feels like only yesterday since I last saw you, but you've really… filled out. Age has smiled kindly upon you." Lina shot Helix a murderous glance. "Well?" She asked. "Well what?" Helix replied with a confused expression. "Well, what do you think, moron?" She growled. Helix sighed. "I just said age has smiled kindly upon you. Do you want me to explicitly say, ?" Lina grinned. "Yes, I would like you to say how you explicitly feel about your appearance." She declared. "That… is too…

Helix honestly meant every word he spoke, and his honesty emanated through his thoughts. The chat window went blank for a few seconds. "Yes. My name is Zenith. And why the hell are you poking the air with a dumb expression on your face?" Helix sighed. "I'm pretending that I'm reading through my interface. The Mad Queen assaulted me with messages today. Now my instructor is suspicious I'm in league with her for the same reason you are." Helix chuckled bitterly. "Since it's unprecedented for people…

"May I?" Helix asked while standing before his artifact. Macron's eye twitched aggressively, and he looked at Helix with a murderous gaze. After everything he had just heard, he couldn't comprehend the young man's decision. Helix locked eyes with him and his cold gaze cut through the man's killing intent like a hot knife. "I hope you know what you're doing, boy." Macron muttered under his breath. Helix nodded. In front of him was the Hourglass of Knowledge. It was a simple hourglass with magic…

After a brief discussion on strategy, Macron and Helix decided to table the conversation and return to the Nightmare Induction Ceremony. There was still much to do, and it couldn't be delayed. When Helix arrived, he sighed inwardly when he felt the piercing glares of forty-nine young men and women boring into his soul. There was a strong pressure in the atmosphere that he wished he could ignore. The students were restless, gossiping about Helix and the situation they witnessed. "Attention." Macron…
