Chapter 44: 44. Practice

After sorting out his curses, it was time to train but as Orion looked around the hall, he didn't find an empty place anywhere. The hall was packed with soul forms of various ages.

'There are so many people here. I should look for some other place to train. But are there more areas here in the temple?'

Scouting the whole hall one more time, he didn't find one.

Helpless, he walked towards Feran, who watched over the training of Runo's team and the group of transmigrators.

Feran noticed him from the corner of his eye.

"What do you want, kid?" He asked, his voice appeared somewhat cold.

Orion didn't care about that. He simply stated what he wanted.

"I want to train my skills but I can't seem to find a place with all these people here."

Feran frowned at the kid, thinking that he hadn't practiced what he had been told yet still wanted to improve his skills.

Although he felt disappointed by that, he still decided to help him in the hope that the kid could kill the third guardian. He felt the same for all the people who came to the temple this time, for he knew his time to turn would come soon and there was nothing else he could do other than hope.

Sighing about it, he turned to Agnar.

"Agnar, give this kid a separate training room." He asked him to help Orion.

Agnar didn't question anything and simply tapped the ground with his staff. Almost instantly, the ground near Orion trembled and before he could react he fell down and found himself in a staircase.

Standing up, he saw that in front of him lay a door that appeared to be made of rock.

"Go down through the door."

At that moment a shout sounded and Orion could tell it belonged to Feran.

'They could have nicely done this.'

He complained to himself as he walked down the stairs and arrived in front of the door.

Pushing it lightly, the door automatically opened. Seeing the cue, he stepped in and found himself in a small square room.

The whole room appeared to be made up of stones of various sizes and torches were placed at either side of the hall, illuminating the whole room in an orange shade.

He thought while looking at them.

But at that moment, he caught sight of Runo slowly making his way towards him.

'What does he want now?'

A frown appeared on Orion's face as he saw that. He didn't forget what had happened last time between them nor did he want to forget.

He wanted revenge for that. As much as it sounded naive and idiotic in the face of the situation they found themselves in, he couldn't deny the anger he felt in his heart.

He didn't know if it was because of how he had lived his life on Earth or if something had changed in him since he occupied someone else's body. He felt that he couldn't accept people stepping down on him.

Therefore, after seeing Runo coming towards him, the anger that had been buried deep inside his heart reignited.

Before long, Runo arrived in front of Orion and looked him in the eye.

"Why aren't you training like the others?" he asked, his voice tinged with gloom.

Orion didn't back down, as he also stared straight at Runo.

"Because I don't want to," he replied calmly.

This interaction between them attracted the attention of all the soul forms in the temple, including the two old men—Feran and Agnar.

Meanwhile, Runo frowned at Orion's words. He felt that everyone was giving their best out there, and this guy had just been doing his own thing.

Seeing Runo frown and do nothing to him, Orion walked past him and headed towards the portal. He wanted to fight the first guardian.

But just as he walked past Runo, he felt a hand grip his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Runo looking at him, his eyes narrowing.

"What do you want?" Orion asked impatiently.

Looking at Orion and the direction he was headed, Runo understood something.

"Nothing," he said, smirking at Orion. "I just want to show you how powerful the first guardian is."

A look of understanding dawned on Orion as he heard his words.

"Alright, then show me," he said, smiling at Runo. "I also want to know what the difference between us is."
