God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

"What? You don't like it?" Luan asked, noticing Nolan's eye-roll.

He shook his head slightly.

"Just don't worry too much about me," he said to her. Life was smooth for him now, bit he knew well it couldn't always be that.

When that time comes, he'd prefer to fight his troubles alone, and so therefore, it would be better if Luna never worried about him at all.

His troubles were his to handle and not anyone's.

Soon after, Luan's eyes began to close, and she drifted off to sleep within minutes.

Nolan watched her long blue hair for some time before eventually succumbing to sleep himself.

There were many things weighing on his mind, but not much that he could handle.

The only thing he could do was strive to improve his strength.

For one last time, he tried to sense deeply into Luna's body, wanting to see how much of her organs were still frozen.

For the past few days, he had relentlessly poured his Anti-Aether into her, slowly thawing her frozen organs.

It seemed to be working perfectly as Upon checking her again, he could sense that only about 60% of her organs were still frozen.

He had managed to defrost 40% of her organs in less than three days.

Now that he had to attend classes, he couldn't spend the entire night defrosting her organs as he would be unable to bear the extraordinary exhaustion it would bring.

That was why Nolan only passed his Anti-Aether energy into her for about an hour, defrosting another 10% before retrieving the Anti-Aether back into his body.

He noticed that the energy had changed to white after passing into him.

Nolan's curiosity was piqued, but his system had yet to provide any credible information about it.

For now, he could only leave it alone and observe the color change.

Fortunately, the white Anti-Aether wasn't affecting the rest of his Anti-Aether energy, remaining separate.

He wasn't too bothered by it.

If it turned out to be negative, he could easily expel it without any harmful effects.

It wasn't something to be alarmed about.

With plans for his new hierarchy having been made, Nolan tried drifting to sleep, more than satisfied.

Two hours passed quickly, and he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

The sound of soft snores echoed through the dimly lit room, but suddenly, one of the snores stopped.

A brilliant flash of light erupted in the room.

Six eyes were glowing in the darkness.

Lun's six eyes, which had once been icy white, were now starting to thaw.

Three of her eyes now glowed with different colors, while the remaining three were still white.

It was a clear sign that she was recovering from her illness, and at an incredibly fast pace to booth.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked toward the closed window just a few feet from her.

Like a snake, she slid down from the bed and moved silently toward the window.

With a simple tap on the device at its side, it opened up and Luna peered through it.

The entire academy grounds were dark, with almost no students in sight.

However, about 100 meters away, Lune noticed flickering shadows flashing through the alleyways.

"The Dark Eyes... talk of karma," Luan mused quietly.

Her six eyes grew colder and colder before she tapped the device again, closing the window.

She walked towards the wardrobe and grabbed a pitch-black robe that seemed to absorb all traces of light.

After putting it on, she turned to look at Nolan, who was still peacefully asleep.

"Just repaying your kindness..." she whispered softly before moving out of the bedroom door, which quietly shut behind her.

Not a single sound was made, and the air didn't even ripple as she slipped away.

It was as if she were a phantom, moving through the world in a pocket of space that existed outside reality.

The academy grounds, while home to thousands of students, were usually eerily silent once night fell.

Most students preferred to stay in their dorms rather than roam around in the darkness, except for a few who were racially more active than night and even then, they would choose to be in buildings than wandering aimlessly between buildings.

Through the stillness of the night, three robed figures moved with inhuman speed and silence.

Ghey flickered through the darkness like phantoms, rapidly advancing toward one particular building—Nolan's dorm.

Leaping from one rooftop to another, the trio of figures landed soundlessly on top of a building.

They were cloaked in deep red robes that covered their entire bodies, and their faces were hidden behind masks that revealed only the lower half of their faces.

On the iron masks was a special symbol, one that Nolan would have instantly recognized as the same one that had been mysteriously stamped on the shoulder of his uniform before it faded away.

About 30 meters from Nolan's dorm building, the figures paused on top of another equally highrise building.

One of them brought out a rune card, his clawed red fingers quickly skimming through its surface.

After finding what he was looking for, he pressed the card to his ear.

"Is the target secured?" A husky voice asked from the other side.

"We have eyes on the target right now," the masked figure replied.

"Make sure you abduct him. Go in and out without a soul discovering you. Don't let the mission fail!" The voice commanded with absolute authority.

"Yes, Two-Eyed One. None stand between us and the target. The mission is as good as done!" the figure responded confidently.

But suddenly, all three of them stiffened, their bones turning rigid as they felt an encroaching coldness.

Instantly, they snapped their gazes to the side.

A figure sat lazily against the skyscraper wall, clad in picth black robes which covered the upper part of her face.

Her legs swung wildly around her and the trio could see a faint grin on the milky white face.

"Are you really sure about that?"
