I Can Copy Curses

"If Orion Darkwood was really here a moment ago, then why would he reveal himself by attacking the walls?" Veronica asked Luna. "It doesn't make sense for him to destroy the walls."

Her conjecture seemed correct. If Orion Darkwood had indeed been present among them, why would he attack the walls? Why would he reveal himself?

"Unless he was forced to come and attack the walls!" Josh exclaimed as he looked at the others. "He must have wanted to cause chaos, disturbance, or something like that, but why?"

Luna pondered for a moment and looked around the hall before turning to Veronica. "Was anything particular happening when the walls exploded?" she asked.

Veronica thought for a moment before looking at Roan and answering, "Nothing special, but a cadet was reporting something about the incident that happened at the entrance just before this."

"Was it Leone? Where is he?" she asked Roan.

Roan nodded, looking around. "It was indeed Leone. He must be around somewhere."

What they didn't notice was Luna's reaction—her eyes widened at the moment. "Are you talking about Leone Rollins? The second eldest son of William Rollins?" she asked, almost hysterically.

Roan nodded. "It was him. He must have left after the chaos caused by the explosion. Let me call some cadets to summon him."

"No, no. He's gone! He's gone!" Luna shook her head in disappointment. "I should have known better. Damn it! Darkwood and Rollins Family, the cursed families."

"What happened?" Josh asked, frowning. He didn't like what he was hearing from Luna.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I think Orion was here for Leone Rollins," Luna explained. "Since he was talking with Roan at that moment, Orion must have exploded the walls to cause disturbance and chaos and, in the midst of it all, took Leone away."

Roan and Veronica frowned as they listened to her. "That is bad, but let me send some cadets to look for him," Veronica said hurriedly, tapping her halowatch a couple of times before turning to Roan. "Ask every member of the cadet council to search for Leone Rollins."

Roan nodded, also tapping his halowatch and ordering the entire cadet council to look for Leone Rollins.

Elijah observed the entire situation silently, without uttering a word. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

Orion was back in his room, sitting at his desk with paper and pen in hand.

"Who was the man with the glasses on top of the library in Dollas Academy? His name is Dover."

As he wrote the words on the paper, it immediately refreshed and showed new information.

"Max Dover, the smartest cadet in the history of Dollas Academy, belongs to a common family among the Archons but possesses the talent of Supreme Comprehension."

Orion frowned when he saw the information. He was relieved that Max didn't belong to the main families of the Archons, but he frowned upon seeing the talent this guy possessed. Supreme Comprehension. Orion could tell by the word "Supreme" that this talent couldn't be taken lightly.

Orion wrote on the page again.

"Give me the description of the talent—Supreme Comprehension."

The page immediately displayed more information.

"One with the talent of Supreme Comprehension can predict every action and reaction, staying ten steps ahead of others. The person's mind processes faster than some of the most advanced computers. One might say that a person with Supreme Comprehension could be a Supreme in foresight."

"Damn! Such a strong talent?" Orion was shocked. He had seen many talents along the way, but this was the first time he encountered one like this, and he could tell it was overwhelmingly powerful if the user knew how to exploit it.

"Max asking me about whether the rumors of Orion Darkwood being present in the Martial Domain were true or not at that time must have been because he was testing me—or should I say, teasing me. He must already know that Ray Wiser is Orion Darkwood!" Orion began to pace back and forth in his room, anxious.

"Damn, I have to eliminate him too," Orion thought as he wrote on the paper.

"Where will Max Dover be ten minutes from now?"

The text refreshed, and new information appeared.

"He will be in the library, reading books."

"Library again?" Orion frowned. "Does this guy always stay in the library or what?"

He wrote something new on the paper. Enjoy more content from empire

"Where is he currently?"

The page immediately responded.

"In the library, reading books."

"This mo—" Orion almost cursed but realized something. "He's hiding in the library because he must have figured out that I'm suspicious of him. The library is one of the most heavily guarded places, with lots of security cameras."

But Orion smiled, thinking Max couldn't hide forever. He immediately wrote something else on the paper, but instead of providing an answer, the paper suddenly floated into the air and burst into flames, leaving behind only ashes.

"What? What happened?" Orion was shocked. "How could the paper burn? Wasn't it a treasure?"

"Damn, this paper situation is getting even more mysterious," he muttered, recalling Elijah mentioning a surprise for him and Mark. "I'll talk to him about this when the time comes."

Orion took out another sheet and wrote on it.

"Make all the security cameras in the library go offline for an hour."

Orion smiled ruthlessly as he wrote that and began heading towards the library once again, but he soon stopped and erased what he had written.

"There's already too much happening today. I should calm down a little," he muttered, recalling Kane's warning. "If the Ten Seats really know I'm at Dollas Academy, then Rosaline and Luna must have come for me—especially Luna."

"No! I've already revealed my presence!" Orion realized, recalling how he'd blasted the council hall wall with the purple ball formed from the Curse of Detonating Flesh. "Damn!"
