Chapter 14 Talk With Fiona

Zen finished showering and walked out of the shower room with only a towel.

Just as he walked out of the shower, Fiona suddenly woke up. She saw Zen in the distance. The room was quite spacious, it was about forty meters wide. She thought that she was seeing things. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and Zen was really there.

She swiftly rose to her feet and darted towards Zen, embracing him tightly with concern that he might vanish once more, accompanied by subdued weeping. The room remained in stillness, with only the sound of her weeping permeating the air.

"Zen! Zen! Zen!" Uttering his name repeatedly with tears streaming down, longing for Zen's presence. Currently, her aloof and sophisticated demeanor utterly vanished.

She wiped her tears and asked, "You're back! Are you injured anywhere!?"

Zen responded, "Nope. In fact, I've gained some new stuff from the Twilight Zone, and I was able to get slightly stronger."

Zen always underestimated his abilities and strength. If he says slightly, it means he got stronger by a lot. If he were to show his newly gained abilities in front of Bundoc. He would probably faint from shock! If he hears Zen say, 'got stronger slightly'.

"Ohhh, and also, why are you such a cry baby, If I remember correctly, you always had that cold looking personality."

Fiona puffed her cheeks, pouting and feeling embarrassed at her appearance. The fact that Zen was teasing her when she was clearly worried about him.

She pulled away from him, scanning his body for any injuries. But then she just noticed Zen was naked, with only a tower covering him. She slightly blushed and said, "Umm, I'll go outside and wait for you to change, and we can talk."

Zen didn't show much emotion and just said "Okay."

With a flushed face, Fiona exited the room and made her way to the living room.

Zen then changed into donning fashionable attire. An elegant long-sleeved cotton jacket in a loose-fitting style, featuring exquisite and intricate patterns, complemented by a pair of white denim jeans. Additionally, he adorned a pair of white shoes to complement his attire.

His face was already perfect as it is. But now wearing a full on white fit, which then enhances his appearance to the max. It was almost like a divine being coming down from heaven, but he was a villain, which is ironic.

His hair was messy, but this messy hairstyle made him look effortlessly cool.

He can pretty much pull any girl at this point. He didn't need to speak with words. His appearance was his rizz. Which is not an exaggeration, having a charm to max out one hundred is not a joke. Zen had to thank his parents genes for his perfect appearance.

After putting on clothes, he headed towards the living room and walked through the hallway. The long hallway had blue lights, illuminated by several metal fixtures on the ceiling. The walls are white, and there is a glass floor that reflects the light from above.

The hallway wall was also decorated with expensive paintings that were made by famous artists. There were also artifacts, swords, staffs, and ancient items displayed, showcasing the prowess of the Raverdieu families.

The symmetry of this scene creates an interesting visual effect that makes it look like something out of an art gallery or museum.

The stairs were wide, and on the side of the stairs were the elite guards standing. They were assigned to protect Zen at all times.

They slightly bowed down and greeted Zen.

He arrived in the living room and saw Fiona sitting down on the sofa, drinking tea, looking like a young lady.

Zen scrutinized the room, he had never really had the chance to explore the villa yet. The living room was also extremely spacious. It also had an expensive lawn, with actual soil and grass growing in the middle of the room.

The ceiling was clear glass, and the sky could be seen. The living room gives off a feeling of nature that is extremely comforting. If you were to lay down on the sofa and close your eyes a bit, you would instantly fall asleep. That's just how comforting and relaxing the atmosphere in the living room is.

The living room also had an expansive window that looked out onto a beautiful landscape. The walls are painted a neutral color, and the floor is covered by a light-colored rug. In the center of the room is an inviting couch upholstered in white fabric.

Fiona is currently sitting on that white couch. She is gracefully sipping her tea, with her aloof temperament. The cry baby, Fiona, has already disappeared at this point.

Fiona was not a normal child, she has experienced a more tragic experience so she was able to quickly calm her mindset.

Zen sat down next to her and said, "So Fiona, what did you want to talk about hmm?"

Fiona responded, Actually, I wanted to talk to you about Pontiac Academy. I wanted to ask, When are you going to enter the Academy?"

"I'll be going next year, actually." Zen said

Fiona was disappointed to hear his response, she actually wanted to go with him together.

It was February, and the month that the next academy year starts is August. You are able to qualify to enter the academy once you have reached the Elementary level, and of course there was also written test and such. But reaching the Elementary level was a requirement.

There was also an age restriction for entering. A first-year student should be at least ten to fifteen and at the Elementary level. If you tried to enter at sixteen and were still at Elementary level, you would be disqualified.

Fiona was already eleven years old and at Intermediate level. She was a genius among geniuses. Of course, excluding Zen. She planned to enter this year, and she wanted to see if Zen was also entering this year, but to her disappointment, he was going next year.

She asked Zen with a saddened expression, "Why? Aren't you already in the intermediate rank of swordsmanship."

"Actually, I still have a few important things to do." Zen said.

What Zen meant by important things was that he actually wanted to just laze around before going. He also knew when it was time to work and when to relax.

He knew all the plots so far, and right now, If his guess was correct, Edward and his sister were still being chased by a bunch of unknown enemies who destroyed their family and went into hiding.

Edward started his path to power when he entered the Academy.

He maintained a steadfast conviction that managing the protagonist, Edward, was an effortless endeavor.

The previous Zenryx was just stupid, even though he became extremely powerful and was able to defeat Edward, he just talked too much shit, and karma came back around him.

Fiona was trying to guess what important things Zen was referring to that were more important than entering the Academy.

But she could not guess, so she just accepted the fact that she wouldn't be going with her.

Zen took a sip of the tea that was placed on the table and commented, "Mmm this tea has a unique taste and aroma. It gives a refreshing and grassy taste with a slight bitterness that is balanced by its sweetness."

Fiona, who woke up from her thoughts, saw this and blushed a little at Zen's action, thinking they just had an indirect kiss.

They then continued to converse with each other. Zen also talked about his experience in the Twilight Zone. Fiona listened attentively to his experience, but Zen suddenly spoke out,

"By the way, it seems like you have not yet returned to your villa yet, hmm? You should return now that I'm back and we have finished our little talk."

Fiona was greatly incensed upon hearing his statement, prompting her to retort with deep indignation, "What!? You're actually just chasing me out after all of what happened, your not even gonna spend some quality time with your sister?"

To be honest, Zen was tired of talking and just wanted to lay down and sleep. But he also thought that this girl was really cute when she had that angry face.

Zen told her, "Actually, I'm just tired right now. I just came back and hadn't rested yet, so… And looking at the black bags under your eyes, it seems like you have not slept either."

Fiona thought about it, and it seemed like they really had not properly slept yet. She forgot all about her fatigue after she saw Zen return home. But after Zen reminded her, she immediately felt her body weaken.

Seeing this, Zen just smiled and told her to come with him.

They went upstairs and arrived at Zen's room. Fiona was confused at first, but then she realized and said, "We're sleeping together?!"

Zen just nodded and said, "This bed is big enough, though, ain't it? This bed could fit like around ten people together and there would still be space."

Fiona was a bit hesitant at first, but she agreed.

They then both got into bed and slept. But before Fiona closed her eyes, She glanced at Zen and softly said, "Zen, can I stay at your villa for now until the day I go to the academy?"

Zen said softly, "Sure," and went straight to sleep.

Fiona smiled and also closed her eyes to sleep.
