The Indigo Training Ground’s main buildings were white and retro–style. Some structures were adorned with blue and gold accents, giving them a clean yet sophisticated look. 

The living quarters were divided into three zones based on the trainees‘ strength levels. 

The outermost ring housed the elite students in private villas, the middle tier lived in apartment blocks, while the innermost zone accommodated the lowest–ranked trainees in simple bungalows. 

Lola led Zach straight past the villas and apartments, heading directly to the bungalow district in the innermost section. 

However, instead of stopping at the bungalow area, Lola led Zach to a narrow storage area in the far corner of the bungalow. “Creak!” The rusty hinges groaned as the storage room door swung open. 

Immediately, a gust of damp and stinky air hit Zach in the face. 

When Zach finally got a clear look inside, he instinctively stepped back a few paces. 

He saw that two snakes with green patterns lay coiled underneath the dust–covered tables and chairs. 

The corners of the room crawled with cockroaches, each nearly the size of a baby’s fist. Their grotesque forms sent shivers down people’s spines at mere sight. 

“Scared?” Lola’s expression remained cold as she looked at Zach, whose face had noticeably paled. 

Zach opened his mouth and wanted to say he wasn’t scared, but the sight of the snakes slithering lazily under the furniture made the words stick in his throat. 

Lola cast him an indifferent glance and said flatly, “From now on, this is where you’ll be staying.” 

With that, she reached out and grabbed Zach’s arm. 

Then, she grabbed Zach like a helpless chick and dragged him toward the storage room. 

Zach instinctively tried to resist, but how could he, a mere five–year–old, stand a chance against Lola? 

They were already at the storage room door in the blink of an eye. 

However, Lola stopped at the entrance, and without stepping inside, she casually flung Zach into the room, his small, frail body tumbling forward. 

The door slammed shut with a loud bang just as Zach stumbled to steady himself. 

Almost immediately, the sharp click of the lock echoed. 

Zach’s young face turned even paler. 

He quickly ran to the door on his short legs and began pounding on it with all his might. 

“Instructor Lola, let me out!” he cried, his voice trembling with fear. 

However, he only heard Lola’s almost emotionless, detached voice. “You must be exhausted after traveling all night. Get some rest now.” 

Hearing her words, Zach’s face turned even paler. 

“Instructor Lola, please, I don’t want to stay here. Let me out, okay?” he pleaded. 

However, what answered him was her fading footsteps. 

Then, he heard a hissing sound. 

Just as Zach was about to resume pounding on the door, he realized the green snakes coiled nearby were now slithering toward him. 

Zach’s wide eyes locked onto the snakes as they drew closer. Instinctively, his small hand reached for the m communicator strapped to his right arm. 

“Raven…” he whispered, his voice barely audible.

But just as his fingers brushed the device, he stopped. 

‘No!‘ Zach thought, ‘I came here to grow stronger, strong enough to protect my mom and sister from harm. If I can’t even get through something this small, how can I protect them?‘ With that in mind, a quiet determination settled across Zach’s childish face as he stared at the green snakes.

Successfully unlocked! 

Three hours later, it was seven in the morning in Vyrdenia. 

Cassian, who had been kicked out of Raven’s room by Hiemaly the night before, swiped his room card to unlock the door and stepped inside.

Cassian’s seductive allure from the night before had dissipeaving only his customary frosty elegance in its wake. 

Raven seemed still lost in slumber, the pale gold sunlight filtering through the curtains to spill across her exposed collarbones, casting an almost sacred, yet strangely alluring glow. 

Cassian slowly approached the bed, his gaze falling on Raven. His eyes carried a mix of emotions that were hard to decipher. 

If it hadn’t been for his desire to protect Raven and maybe indulge in a wish to turn the tables, he wouldn’t have let his other personality seize control of his body. 

‘And I wouldn’t have let that shameless prodigy take advantage of Raven that much,‘ he thought. 

Recalling the details of last night, Cassian couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. Even though he knew that prodigy was a part of himself, he still wished he could drag it out and beat it. 

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the power to do that. Not yet. 

All I can do now is to redo everything that prodigy had done, and finish what it hadn’t, to erase the traces it had left behind.’ With that thought in mind, the ring on Cassian’s finger‘ shimmered faintly. 

Then, he retrieved the handcuffs that his prodigy persona had pulled out last night but never got to use. 

“I’ll finish what that prodigy left undone,” he thought. 

However, as he moved the handcuffs toward Raven’s wrist, her eyelashes quivered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
