"Undercover mission? What do you mean?" Damian asked.
The first subject Darius wanted to discuss did not surprise him — Damian expected it — but an undercover mission?
That was something that never crossed his mind, and when Darius touched the matter, it genuinely surprised Damian.
"Yes, correct. It will happen in three months. You see, there's another school, similar to this one, that teaches superhumans how to control their powers,"
"It is common for all the top schools, like Garmony, to send their first-year students to fight against each other, in a way to see what school has the best teaching methods,"
"You will have to go there to fight in this tournament thing, no doubt, but I want you to do something else for me," Darius said.
After Damian left the principal's office, he could not believe what Darius said.
"A freaking fighting tournament, lame. But it would be good for me to win it. Ha, impossible. I am sure there are geniuses out there. Anyway, why does Darius wants me to steal something?"
The undercover mission Darius had in mind was to steal something inside the school where the tournament would take place.
"Damian, it is a red diamond, like a bloodstone. It is stealing, but that belonged to me before I lost it, so it is not stealing, right? You are the best candidate because no one knows your name yet. You are just an ordinary student. Also, your mental abilities are the best for this task."
That was what Darius said to him. Sure, no one knew him because he was just a first-year student in the academy, just like many others. So if Darius sent a professor or someone he knew to steal it, the security of the other school would be tight.
But a mere first-year student? No one would think he would try to steal something from the school. Could a student be that crazy?
Even Damian, who did not care about many things, knew it was a crazy thing to do, yet Darius' made it exciting.
"If you get this thing for me, you will pass this year. Yes, no need to study anymore throughout the year, and no more tests. Not only that, but I will get you under my tutelage, and giving you enough monthly money to not starve after graduating from school. What do you say?"
The part about passing the year was not a big deal, but having Darius as his teacher and close friend? That would make his life way easier while in school, and after graduating, it would make it even better.
"If you want the fat rewards, you have to do the crazy stuff," Damian thought as he returned to his dorm.
Aurora met him along the way, saying, "Damian, can I help you study?"
Damian had many books to read, and although he would pass the year after stealing that bloodstone for Darius, it would not happen that day but in three months. So he had to study during this time, so Damian said yes to her offer, with the two going toward the library.
Surprisingly, Darius left his office, passing through Damian and Aurora before they reached the library, "Damian, I know it is against the rules to have girls in the boys' dorm, you know, but Aurora can go to your room to study because I make the rules here."
It was like Darius was making things better for him after he accepted the crazy offer about stealing something from a well-protected superhuman school.
No one in their sane mind would do such a thing. Aurora's cheeks turned red after hearing what Darius said, thinking about many things that could happen between the two inside the bedroom.
Damian was more down-to-earth, saying, "let's go, then, Aurora."
The two shifted their paths, not going toward the public library but to the boys' dorm.
Once there, some students saw Damian bringing a girl, but none of them said a word except one: Joffrey!
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) "Damian. I thought you were dead. That would have been so much better," Joffrey said as he stared at Aurora and Damian.
He was supposed to marry Aurora in the future, yet she was there, right before his eyes, going to another man's bedroom.
It was hard for Joffrey not to think about what implied that occurrence, so he said, "why is Aurora here? You know bringing girls is against the rules and can get you expelled."
That was the first thing Joffrey said that made sense. He was correct, it was against the rules for ordinary students, and it was a good thing Damian was not a regular student anymore.
"I know it is against the rules to bring girls here, but only to people like you, useless students. I can do whatever I want here," Damian said, smirking.
The scene elevated Joffrey's blood pressure; his head was red like a mature tomato.
"Shut up! I will seek the principal! You can continue with this shit, but be ready to leave the school afterward!" Joffrey said, hammering his feet as he left the dorm.
Damian did not mind him and went inside his room with Aurora by his side, who was timid to go there yet happy after seeing Joffrey act like a fool.
-Aurora: "I don't want to marry that bastard. Ah, what will happen now? Calm down, Aurora. You should help Damian study, or else he will get in trouble next week with the test."

Darius was not in the main building but near the river inside the school's perimeter, drinking his wine and smiling.
"Hahaha, that kid is incredible. He reminds me of my son," Darius said, and when he did, it was clear he wasn't as happy as before.
Joffrey went around asking for Darius, and some teachers said he was near the river, so that was where Joffrey went.
"Excuse me, principal Darius," Joffrey said in a respectful tone, way different from what he used with the other students.
Darius turned around, visibly displeased to see Joffrey there, but he tried his best to hide it, "hello, student. How can I help you?"
At that moment, Joffrey used all the anger inside to say, "it is Damian! That bastard is bringing girls to the dorm and always acting superior to me. You need to go there and expel him! He is acting against the rules!"
Joffrey could spill shit about any student in the school that Darius would not mind, but Damian? Damian went from nothing to an important person to him, and when he heard what Joffrey said, he wanted to punch him in the face.
"Damian is allowed to bring girls there. About acting superior to you, well, because he is. Now, don't disturb me anymore, and if you repeat bad things about other students, you will have to deal with me."
