In the hotel;
Kyle closed the door behind him and stretched his body with a sigh. His curious gaze swept around the hotel room.
It was not small. A big bed with a comfy mattress was placed in the middle of the room with two tables placed on each side. A chair and a tea table were placed in front of the bed.
The decor was clean and comfortable with minimum furniture. Moreover, the room was illuminated by the sunlight sprinkling from a square-shaped window opposite the bed.
“Not bad.”
Kyle grabbed the green pendant hanging on his waist and tossed it on one of the bedside tables without caring about the fact that the Royal envoy asked to keep the pendant safe.
He hummed and immediately slipped his shirt off his body with a swift movement. Some bright almost invisible particles were clinging to his cold skin. His shoulders were board, chest sculpted with well-built muscles, giving off a powerful presence.
After tossing the shirt on the chair, Kyle entered the bathroom to take a shower. The water temperature was normal but a cold mist appeared around him the moment he stepped below the running shower.
Amidst all this, Kyle didn’t feel even an ounce of coldness. Maybe it was because of his bloodline or maybe it was because of the blue flames he wasn’t sure.
He spent his sweet time in the bathroom and stepped out barefoot wearing a loose shirt and a pant.
Kyle’s hair was wet but he didn’t care and jumped on the bed with a blissful expression. He was clean, the room was silent with a perfect atmosphere but there was just a tiny miny problem.
‘I am not sleepy.’
Kyle chuckled at himself. His eyes were clear without an ounce of sleep. He rolled on the bed absentmindedly.
‘I slept too much in the past few weeks. There is nothing I can do now…. Should I go out and train? It’s a while…’
Bia’s clear voice sounded in his head. She scoffed when she heard the word ‘training’ from Kyle.
She had known Kyle for quite some time now and had an idea of what type of person he was.
He was lazy at the start but he knew his priorities that’s why he changed a lot in a short amount of time. However, some of Kyle’s old habits were the same as before. He was a hard-working person but no matter what he never went down the extreme path. A far contrast to Alec and Carcel who would train day and night.
She was sure if in the future Kyle was given a choice to train with a formidable individual or sit back and watch he would choose the latter without a second thought.
Bia laughed out dryly and clicked her tongue with annoyance.
-‘I almost forget the fact that even if he sat in the background and ate melon seeds he would still get something out of the situation. All thanks to his incredible memory and high luck.’
Kyle raised his brow when he sensed Bia’s line of thoughts.
‘What are you thinking? I am someone who has achieved everything with hard work and perseverance!’
Bia rolled her eyes at his words.
-‘What hard work? What perseverance? Didn’t you just haul every treasure from the Tower of Opportunity? No.. No that’s not right. The treasures practically fell at your feet like they were there just for you to pick them up?’
Kyle swiftly changed the topic within a split second.
‘How are the others? Any improvement in their strength?’
Bia snickered at him and decided to leave the topic for a while.
-‘They are doing great. As usual, Alec is training with full vigor, I think he will break through to (B-)-Rank within two to three months. Carcel improved a lot recently in his spear Art. Currently, he is (C)-Rank. About Nine, well he is just crying and trying to run away from the cruel training. Just a week ago he was beaten to a pulp due to his antics but you know he is too stubborn and right now I am watching him getting beaten up again by an old man.’
Bia’s voice turned grave as she described Nine battered conditions to Kyle.
‘Just where does he want to go? Why is he always courting death.’
Kyle shook his head with a chuckle. Bia hummed when a thought flashed through her mind but she wasn’t sure that’s why she didn’t point it out. ƒreewebɳovel.com
-‘I am not sure but a few weeks ago he was blabbering that he wanted to save someone. He said one of his idiots’ relatives accidentally got kidnapped or something. Still, he was probably lying to escape the old man.’
-‘Anyway, I heard from Principal Ratric the student’s training is going to end in half a month and for the next month, they will go to the boundary of the black forest to fight the monsters. According to my investigation, the secret Realm would open a little earlier. Maybe within two to three months.’
Kyle pinched his brows with a frown. A sudden thought appeared at the back of his mind.
‘I know there are a lot of treasures inside the secret Realm but I wonder why the Central Continent is fussing over it so much. One thing is for sure, the realm is dangerous, too dangerous because master’s expression was grave when he told me about it. However, the Central Continent is going against everyone else just to open the Realm. There is probably a big reason behind it.’
He didn’t even notice how the burning sun slowly descended from the horizon. Soon, his eyes fluttered shut and he fell asleep again.
Bia almost had the urge to come and smack his head.
-‘I thought you weren’t sleepy? Just how can someone sleep so much? Tsk.’
She grumbled for a few seconds but left him alone.
At night, Kyle was jolted awake when a few knocks sounded in his ears. He sat up within a second and looked at the room door with a wary expression.
“Who is it?”
