The early morning came quickly, the night gone in a blink, and slowly, a pair of blue-red eyes opened up.


    The first thing he saw was the wide structure tops through the ss frame, and raising his hand to his eyes, he tried to block the golden rays of sunlight that threatened to blind him.


    Not long after, his eyes finally regted themselves to the new light, and Nn sat up from his bed.


    "It''s morning..." he thought, cracking his bones before jumping up to his feet.


    [Happy someone didn''t give you a proper wake-up?]


    The system notification panel appeared, teasing Nn, who rolled his eyes.


    "Your early morning greetings are anything but a proper wake-up," he replied.


    GRUUUUUUUM


    Immediately, the sound of something rumbling loudly echoed, and Nn touched his stomach, soothing it as he tried to calm his hungry stomach worms.


    "I''ll try getting something to eat first..." he mused, rising and heading out of the bedroom.


    On his arrival, Nn felt the intensely cold temperature once more. Sitting on the sofa with a te in hand was none other than his roommate. Her eyes were locked onto her runic device, which she was tapping on, and she didn''t raise her head when he entered the room. She seemed so engrossed in whatever she was doing that Nn didn''t want to bother her, so he simply walked forward and went into the kitchen.


    An hour passed before he exited, arge tray in his hands, filled with various assortments of dishes. Calmly, he settled them on the table before sitting down at the side of the sofa, a few meters away from thedy.


    Without saying anything, he dove in, every bite into his mouth causing his stomach to growl in satisfaction.


    [Won''t you invite her to breakfast?]


    The system spoke to Nn, who turned to look at the girl.


    She was still scrolling through her runic device, and her te, now empty, had been ced to the side.


    Almost as if she could sense his gaze, she raised her head. Her six eyes stared at Nn, who stared back dazedly before regaining himself.


    "Do you mind joining me?" Nn asked curtly, with the best smile he could put on.


    All he got was her staring at him for a while before she rose to her feet and took her te into the kitchen.


    [I guess that''s a no?]


    The system said as Nn rolled his eyes at it before continuing his meal. He wasn''t the slightest bit offended, but he was starting to notice something abnormal about the Hexgalive.


    Firstly, her six eyes. They were different from the normal eyes. Unlike Norgomdoev eyes, which were a normal pitch-ck color, her eyes weren''t ck. They were white, freezing white, that chilled Nn''s bones anytime he stared into them. Her eyes radiated a great amount of cold, almost like her element had something to do with ice.


    And what was even more abnormal was the fact that strange white steam oozed out from her body whenever she walked. Even right now, as Nn looked at the sofa she previously sat on, he could see a cold white air emanating from the chair. The misty trail seemed to follow straight into the kitchen.


    "Her body is releasing arge amount of cold, and it''s so powerful that the entire air around her turns into cold, steamy air anytime she passes by?" Nn thought.


    "Just what is wrong with her? Is this too much elemental power, or a sickness?"


    Nn wondered to himself as he heard the sound of the door opening. Turning to look, he saw no one, and behind him, the sound of the door opening rang out once more. Nn barely saw her disappear into the bedroom.


    He ought to have been surprised by the insane speed, but he wasn''t, and that could be attributed to the fact that he had seen how the Ascendants moved before now. They all shed around like dragonflies.


    "Soon," he thought in his head before diving back into his meal.


    There was no ss for the day as it was the weekend. ss would resume in the new week, and today was Saturday. One could say he had two days all alone for himself. He wasn''t nning on squandering that time, so Nn quickly finished his meal and then headed into the bath, freshening up quickly.


    Once he did that, he got back into the bedroom. Luna sat on the bed, cross-legged, her eyes closed in a strange pose. Nn recognized the stance; it was that of someone cultivating. ording to what he had learned from the Neer ss, there was an energy called the Divine Essence in the air, and the Celestial Heirs absorb that energy to power their abilities. One of the ways to absorb such power was through meditation, and the pose Luna was in was precisely for that.


    He didn''t pay too much attention to it and simply walked to the wardrobe. He had thrown everything he obtained yesterday into the wardrobe without bothering to check any of it, but now he had the time.


    On opening the wardrobe, his eyes first saw the books, and Nn quickly began arranging them, cing them in the wide, open wooden space. There were a total of five textbooks and a few notebooks. A few cubic artifacts were also there, which Nn had no idea how they worked or even what they did. After minutes of tinkering with them, he could only ce them down in the end.


    He opened the pages of the books and scrolled through them, but he didn''t understand the majority of the topics. They dealt with powers far beyond hisprehension, with strange runic symbols all over the pages, which made them even harder to understand. In the end, Nn simply shut them close and ced them carefully on the bookshelves.


    Hours passed, and soon Nn was done with the arrangement. All of the books were properly ced on the shelf, and his school uniform had been neatly hung on the hangers, along with his other clothes.


    He had also tinkered around with his runic device, given to him by the academy, but it was unlike anything Nn had imagined. Apart from the map, which showed him as a green dot along with a few thousand meters around him and various building names, the other features on the runic device were simply application categories, most of which were empty. There was a message tab, a call tab, and some other strange tabs that he didn''t quite understand, like "Ascendant''s Mission Task" and "Ascendant''s Rules."


    Other than that, there wasn''t much to see, but Nn guessed it would only be this way for now. Soon, he''d be able to put his runic device to good use—he just needed more time to familiarize himself with things here.


    Speaking of familiarization, it urred to Nn that he should go out and explore a bit. Through the window panes, he could already see various students moving around. The neers were distinguishable because, unlike the Ascendants, who wore their academy uniforms, the neers were still dressed in their regr clothes. They moved in twos and threes, while the Ascendants ignored them, simply going about their own business.


    Everything radiated a peaceful aura, and Nn felt the itch to go outside, too.


    "Let me check things out a bit," Nn mused to himself as he rose from his seat by the window, preparing to head outside. But suddenly...


    WHEEZE...


    WHEEZE...


    The sound of heavy wheezing filled the air, and Nn turned to look at the figure lying on the bed. His expression quickly changed. Your next chapter is on m v|l-e''-NovelBin


    The Luna who had calmly sat on the bed just a few hours ago was now lying there, her chest heaving up and down rapidly, and her hands, ced on her stomach, were covered in icy blue scales. The air around her had turned into an intensely cold atmosphere, and even her bedsheet was coated with frost.


    "What the...?"


    "Hey, are you okay?" Nn said, hurrying to her side.


    Luna''s six eyes were tightly closed, and even though she tried to hide it, Nn could tell she was in severe pain. He could see the frost covering her usually red lips and her rapidly heaving chest.


    Nn wasn''t a doctor, and he didn''t know what to do, but he knew something was seriously wrong. Unable to think of anything else, he called out to the system in his head.


    ''What''s really wrong with her?''


    He had been suspicious for a while that the cold aura surrounding Luna everywhere she went wasn''t normal. He''d figured it might be some sort of abnormal illness, and now his suspicion was confirmed.


    But an even more important question remained:


    ''What should I do?''


    "Call the Instructors or take her to the hospital!?" Nn mused to himself finding the two best solutions but a ssh of cold water was mmed into his face as the system notification blinked in front of him....
