Freshly dressed, Orion joined Eldric and Selene for a pleasant, comforting dinner, sharing brief details about his day’s activities.
Afterward, Orion quietly excused himself, heading directly toward Seraph’s room.
Entering her chamber, Orion gently closed the door behind him, warmly greeting Seraph as he settled comfortably across from her.
Seraph sat quietly, her emerald eyes gently focusing on Orion with subtle warmth and appreciation, patiently awaiting his usual gentle words.
Smiling softly, Orion calmly began sharing his day’s events, ranging from his successful class at the academy to amusing things about Magi’s antics in Limitless Heaven.
Seraph listened quietly, her previously tense posture gradually relaxing as she became absorbed in Orion’s comforting voice and gentle presence.
After speaking gently with Seraph for a while longer, Orion eventually noticed the faint signs of tiredness flickering within her emerald eyes.
Smiling warmly, he slowly rose to his feet, voice soothing and kind as he spoke softly, "It’s late now, Seraph. You should rest early today. We’ll talk more tomorrow."
Seraph nodded gently, her lips curling into the faintest of smiles—a silent yet deeply meaningful acknowledgment of Orion’s unwavering kindness.
Orion quietly exited her room, softly closing the door behind him, leaving Seraph alone to enjoy a peaceful night of rest.
Outside in the hallway, Orion exhaled softly, briefly stretching his body to relieve the day’s accumulated tension.
The night had cast a long stretch of darkness over the Helstorm Estate as gentle moonlight came through the large windows, casting calm and soft light over the floors and walls.
He returned slowly to his room, his footsteps quietly echoing in the empty corridor. Once inside, Orion calmly shut the door, immediately feeling a sense of peace envelop him.
He walked leisurely across his spacious chamber, settling comfortably onto his large, familiar bed.
Leaning back, Orion closed his eyes momentarily, allowing himself a brief moment of rest and contemplation. Soon, Lumi’s cheerful and playful voice echoed softly within his mind, breaking the gentle silence.
[Master, your days have become really busy again. Are you feeling alright? Do you ever tire yourself out? (・・;)]
Orion smiled lightly, eyes still closed as he replied inwardly, ’I’m fine, Lumi. In fact, days like these keep me energized. Constant growth and steady progress—those are what truly motivate me.’
Lumi giggled playfully, clearly satisfied by Orion’s confident reply.
[Hehe, that’s my Master! So, what’s your next step? Are you finally going to study the Wood Runes now?]
Orion opened his eyes slowly, sitting up as he said, ’Indeed. Now that I’ve cleared up all my doubts, I need to learn the Wood Affinity Rune thoroughly before I can start forming it inside my Sea of Consciousness.’
Without further delay, Orion reached toward his bedside table, retrieving a carefully arranged set of parchments and scrolls containing detailed notes and diagrams of the specific runes needed for his Wood Affinity Rune that he had made during his rest days.
Among them were Primary Runes—Wood, Flow, Stabilize, Amplify, Sustain, Absorb, Contain, Reinforce, and Channel—each intricately detailed and carefully explained.
Focusing intently, Orion immersed himself completely in the meticulous study of these runes. His sharp eyes moved rapidly over the texts, absorbing information swiftly and precisely before practicing with it.
Lumi occasionally made soft, cheerful comments to lighten the atmosphere, gently guiding him along whenever he paused or seemed unsure.
Minutes turned into hours as Orion diligently studied and internalized every detail of the runes before focusing on the Affinity Rune, meticulously practicing each rune detail repeatedly on spare parchment until his familiarity with them became instinctual.
