After reviewing their training and discussing the next steps, Klaus helped Lucil design the model of the zombie he would be fighting over the coming weeks. He returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep, exhausted—not physically, but mentally. He knew that if he kept pushing for a few more days, his progress would begin to show.Using the mind continuously for eight hours straight has a much heavier effect on the brain than one might think.When he woke up, it was already the next day. With a refreshed and clear mind, he was ready to start day two of testing, which promised to be fun.“Good morning, Klaus! I hope you had a good night’s sleep,” Lucil greeted him at the door as he stepped out of his room.“I did,” Klaus replied.“Good! So, I stayed up all night yesterday working on the zombie for the test. Come on, let me show you what we’ll be working with today.” Klaus nodded and followed her. The look on her face said it all—she was proud of what she had created after their brain

"You woke up early," Miriam said, looking at Klaus sitting on the bed. Klaus smiled back at her. He had woken up quite early and decided to chat with the senior. Since he couldn't use the Bead for now, as it was suspended in the golden energy he had yet to absorb, he could only ask about the things he wanted to know.Having memories of one's past is indeed valuable, and Klaus was eager to learn more. The senior answered his questions to the best of his ability, though the karma involved in understanding some of these things was too much for Klaus to bear at the moment."So, what are your plans now that we won't be going back to Ross City for a few more days?" Miriam asked her tone hinting that she was teasing him about his plans to train with Lulu."You can always go back first if you want," Klaus replied, refusing to give her the satisfaction."Get dressed. I want to see how much you can learn as a Spirit Master," Miriam said, pushing him off the bed. Klaus just smiled and got up to

"Nice to meet you, Lulu," Klaus said, keeping his tone light and calm. However, in the back of his mind, he was wary of the young lady before him. Matters of the soul are something he knew could be very dangerous."Big Brother Klaus, do you know Big Sister is an Inner Disciple at Celestial Mountain Academy?" Nathan, of course, had to continue the conversation.Klaus, hearing how he suddenly started addressing him, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.'When did I turn from Brother Klaus to Big Brother Klaus?' he thought inwardly, but on the outside, he maintained a small smile."Oh, that is great! I guess after dinner, I'll indulge Sister Lulu in telling me more about the Academy," Klaus said with a smile."Of course," Lulu replied, returning the smile.She is a Saint, a peak Saint to be precise, and from the look of things, she had a very strong foundation. Klaus, however, didn't want to pry, so he kept his golden eyes focused, not bothering to look any further. Things could change if

"Where have you been?" Miriam asked as soon as Klaus got back from his stroll across the vast Arcadian City. She had woken up hours ago, but Klaus wasn't there."I went out for some sightseeing," Klaus replied, jumping onto the bed. He had been out the whole day, returning only as night began to fall.Arcadian City was massive—much larger than Ross City—so even though he had only explored a small portion of it after his coffee with Luna the Assassin, he still felt like he had traveled many kilometers.However, he did see some cool sights and even managed to buy some things for his mom and sister, so overall, he had fun. Of course, he didn't want to risk drawing anyone's attention; that would ruin his whole outing, so he kept a low profile and refrained from entering places that required ID.Hearing his explanation, Miriam raised an eyebrow. She knew Klaus didn't like going out, as he usually spent time with his mom, training, or hunting. It was rare to see him outside.Having now pack

Klaus studied Luna's reactions for a while before continuing his questions. At first, he thought she was part of the Dark Order, but it turned out she was only a proxy for Assassin Number 7—her mother. This meant she wasn't useful if his goal was to infiltrate the organization at a deeper level.He needed someone with more influence, but since she didn't have strong ties to the Dark Order, she was practically useless to him—yet, at the moment, she was still his best asset.Klaus, being only a Level 8 Master, had no business getting tangled with Sovereigns or even Transcendents. From what he'd learned from Cynthia Ross, Assassins Number 49 through 11 were all Great Sages, just like Luna.He knew he couldn't underestimate them. Luna had nearly killed him back in the Demon's Abode, and he understood that if there had been more than one of her, he would've been injured or worse, died.He thanked his lucky stars that the twins didn't come after her. A Great Sage who's an assassin is no jok
