I Can Copy Curses

Orion was stunned upon hearing the man. He had casually introduced himself, but who would have thought that this man was a nerd who had remembered everything about him?

"Did you do research on me?" Orion asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Haha, no, I didn't," the man with baggy eyes said. "I saw the live telecast of your assessment."

He then quickly added, "I am Max Dover, by the way."

Orion nodded and asked, "So, until I upgrade to platinum rank, I won't get to read the books in that rank?"

"That's how the library works," Max said, looking around. "These are the rules set by the academy."

Orion sighed. He really wanted to know how the other races came into existence when there was no trace of them back in the days of the Prime Humans.

"Alright, it's nice meeting you, Max. I have to go now," Orion said before stepping down the stairs.

"Hey, wait!" Max suddenly called out.

Orion paused and looked back at Max. "What?"

Max asked, "Do you think the rumors about Orion Darkwood are true, that he showed up in the Martial Domain?"

Orion shrugged. "I don't know and don't care," he replied calmly, but storms were raging inside his heart. 'Why is he asking me about Orion Darkwood? Is it random? Is he suspicious of me?'

His heart began to beat faster as he thought along those lines, and combined with his thorough knowledge of Ray Wiser, he could tell Max had indeed done research on him.

"I have to do some research on him as well," Orion thought as he reached the bottom of the library. If Max was indeed suspicious of him, he could only make him disappear from this world forever, but before that, he had to know his identity.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Let's leave and see what the situation is in the dormitory," Orion thought as he was about to head to the library exit when he spotted someone he hadn't seen in a long time.

It was a young man in his thirties with golden hair, wearing a light white shirt and grey pants—a stark contrast to what he usually wore.

'Kane is also here!'

Orion didn't meet his eyes, nor did he look at him. He just walked like a normal cadet wanting to exit the library.

However, just as he passed Kane, he heard a voice in his ear. "Come to the roof of your dormitory. I want to talk to you about something... Orion."

Orion was shocked, stunned in disbelief, but he didn't stop and continued to walk as if nothing had happened. 'How did he recognize me? Even one of the Ten Seats couldn't see through my disguise; how did Kane know it was me with just one look?'

His heart raced anxiously. He was pretty sure his disguise was perfect, but he was proven wrong time and again. First was Zeref, then the Zenithans from the Dark Order, and now Kane.

Orion sighed, thinking that if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before his identity was leaked.

'What does Kane want from me?' he pondered about Kane.

After the incident at the Banquet of the Magus Kingdom, his perception of Kane, the Sword Sage, had completely changed.

Before the incident, he had thought of the Sword Sage as a real sage and hero. He had been told heroic stories about how someone born with a healing talent became the master of the sword and ultimately the Sword Sage. He had heard all the good things about him, his legend, and how he came to be the strongest person in the map.

But after the banquet incident, he felt differently. He wasn't sure if it was personal disappointment or a gut feeling, but he sensed that he couldn't trust Kane.

'But I also can't ignore him since he knows my true identity,' Orion sighed, feeling very conflicted. 'Let's see what he has to say.'

He soon arrived back at the "crime scene," where the cadets investigating the area still had no clue about what had happened, and Orion wanted things to remain just like that. However, he knew sooner or later the truth would eventually come out.

He ignored the crowd once again and went inside the dormitory. He didn't stop anywhere until he reached the very top of the dormitory building, which took him several minutes.

'Damn, I should have just flown there from outside,' Orion thought before he opened the door leading to the roof.

He saw Kane standing at the edge of the building, overlooking the cadets passing by on the ground.

"What are your intentions for coming to the Limitless Void?" Kane asked, turning to him.

"No particular intention," Orion replied calmly.

Kane narrowed his eyes at Orion and said, "If things hadn't gone the way they did at the banquet, you would still be my favorite junior."

He added, "But the things you did at the banquet, the things your clone did, made me realize that you are just a walking bomb in this world, an anomaly that might lead to the destruction of everything."

"It doesn't matter now, does it?" Orion chuckled. "The demons and the Zenithans are colluding and preparing for war against humans, so if you look at the grand scheme of things, I, with my gold rank strength, am nothing."

"That may be so," Kane said calmly. "But I choose to differ. Anyway, I found you here because I want to warn you to stay away from Luna and her sister. You have already killed their father, and if I hear you've even scratched them, then believe me, one strike of my sword will be all I need to eliminate you completely. So tread with caution."

Orion frowned upon hearing this. Luna was at the very top of the list of people he wanted to kill. He had to kill her no matter what.

"If you want to let your anger out, do some research on the top families of the Archons. I'm sure you will find something very interesting," Kane said, smiling. "Also, be cautious. The Ten Seats already know that you have arrived in the Limitless Void, and they also know that you are at Dollas Academy."

After that, he jumped off the edge of the dormitory and disappeared.
