Chapter 2 - Being Handsome is Troublesome(1)

Dace glanced at Xein.

He couldn't help but admire his unapararelled devilish beauty.

Xein's appearance is truly out of the extraordinary. Even someone who came out of a painting will fail to compare to his beauty.

Seductive and menancing beauty with long lashes and sharp eyes. This gives him a hint of feminine.

Even he, a full fledged straight can't ensure that he won't fall to his beauty. Any female will lose miserably to his face.

It's a face that's too good to be true.

"How could you he so handsome?" He muttured in daze.

Xein was taken aback by his question. There had been numerous people talking and praising his face. But, no one dared to ask him a question liek this.

He smiled. " I don't know. I was born like this. It's such a nuisance to have a face like this. Everyday, people will try to talk to you. There are more than five skin care products to be used each night. You don't know the struggle."

" Wah, I'm envious. People are troubled about their ugly faces but you're here complaining because of your beauty." Dace sighed with amazement.

"It's nothing for me though..." He clarified. Xein then added, " Yes, people are deadbeat becaide of my handsome face. But do they know about me? My personality? Are they even aware of the demon lurking inside me?"

Dace didn't talk anymore and leaned on the bench while looking at a tree. He didn't put importance to Xein's words. People may be good but they also have their bad side afterall. Little did he know that it's his biggest mistake not believing his statement.

The young man seemed to have remembered something. " Brother Dace, I'll go first. Thank you for the tour. "

Waving his hands, Dace told him that it's just a small matter.

Xein took his bag and started walking towards the houses situated inside the school. The Empire High School have their own dormitories and also houses. There are five houses behind the Staff Building which could be rented or bought. As for the dormitories, students are allowed to live there but must pay extra money.

People usually take the dormitories even though it's just a small room with two double deck beds, a big study table and bathroom. The reason behind this is the price. The dormitories only ask additional 250 yuan. As for the house, it costs a thousand yuan each year.

It's pretty reasonable for the house to cost like this. The houses are equipped with air conditioning, electricity, appliances, kitchen, eooms and even free internet connection faster than the dorms'.

Moreover, it's a modern house that had been enchanted to gather more Mana around.

Soon, he reached a house with gray, black, white and red exterior designs. Just by relying on the color combination, he could tell who is the owner of the house.

He took a card from his bag and swiped it on the scanner. Beeping afterwards, the door then opened revealing an aesthetic living room.

" Brother Yzen! I'm here!" He cried out and dropped his bag unto the gray sofa. Xein didn't receive any answer so he started walking around.

Zen Van, an eighteen years old young man who fought him last month. The young man's potential is extraordinary together with his Physique.

With his Physique, Xein doesn't fear having his Yang Qi depleted. The former have a strange Physique giving him dense Yang Qi.

They quickly became friends regardless of their age gap.

He in fact chose the Empire High School over other schools because of him. Moreover, they decided to share the house together.

Zen Van is a monster when it comes to power. Despite being only a Third Year Student of the school, his strength far surpasses those other seniors! He's a Sixth Stage Apprentice Realm Expert afterall.

What he likes about Zen the most is his cold demeanor. It suits Xein's inner demon the most. He won't feel uncomfortable beside the former.

The young man started cooking lunch. It's nearly twelve afterall.

" What would the be Empire's reaction when they see your devilish beauty? Red - eyed demon?" Upon finishing cooking, he heard someone talk behind him with freezing cold voice.

" Ah" He groaned and looked behind him. " Brother Zen, don't call me that. See? I even cooked you lunch!"

Zen's sharp glare swept over the table. The young man didn't reply any longer and sat on the chair. " The lunch looks appetizing but still, you're a Little Demon."

Xein pouted and also started eating. He can't blame Zen for that nickname either.

Zen remembered how the two of them fought. He never thought that with Xein's young age, he have the cultivation level enough to threaten him. Moreover, Xein is like the abyss, dark, boundless and unfathomable.

He took something from his pocket and gave it to Xein. " Chocolate Bar which is better than the one you I gave you back then."

Hearing this, Xein's hand quickly grabbed the chocolate bar in Zen's hand. He's obsessed with chocolate afterall.

The cold young man sighed. Xein may be powerful, but he is still a child. Chocolates is also the reason they fought back them.

Xein never tasted chocolate in his life except for when he won a chocolate candy from Zen. Since childhood, he was always forced to eat different kinds of food but not sweets. Hence, Xein treats chocolate as a treasure.

" Good" Xein's happiness went to another level. His hand flashed as he took something from his Spacial Ring.

Spacial Rings are ordinary rings but was enchanted with Space Magic. Spacial Rings have spaces inside them which could be used to store non-living things. The size inside varries according to the quality of the Spacial Ring.

Xein handed Zen a shirt " Brother Zen, here's a gift from me. Take it as a payment for this chocolate bar."

Zen's eyes sharpened once again. Chocolate bars costs like 2 for a yuan but a shirt costs 7 yuan. The shirt is clearly more expensive than the chocolate bars. " No, the shirt is more expensive than that chocolate bar."

"Aiyoo, don't bother Brother Zen. Moreover, if you got more chocolate, don't hesitate giving it to me. I can always give you something in return. Anything!"

Zen gave a heavy sigh. Although their family could live happily without any worries, he's still far from being a rich person like Xein. Therefore, he can't understood his richy actions. " Why don't you just by chocolates? I cant understand you rich people."

Xein giggled. " Buying one for myself is boring. I never felt the feelings when someone gives you something and you should also give this person something. And besides, I'm not rich." He clarified while finishing up his plate.

Xein just can't help but feel lonely. He never had any friends since young. Hence, exchange gifts never happened.

Rolling his eyes, Zen took the dishes and placed them in the sink. " Not rich? An enchanted shirt that atleast costs 40 yuan, branded shoes that can't be lower than 60 yuan and that Spacial Ring which probably costs more than 500 yuan. Now tell me, aren't you rich?"

"Hehe" Xein laughed wryly. " You've got sharp and discerning eyes Brothee Zen. But still, you must accept my gift."

Zen no longer insisted. ' It's hard to have a debate with someone as intelligent as you.' He thought and started showering like Xein.

Soon, Xein and Zen came out of their own rooms. Xein wore a simple white long sleeves and plack pants coupled with a cool combat boots.

As for the former, he wore a lotus-printed black long sleeves and straight white pants with low-cut shoes.

The two of them looks heavenly- defying gorgeous mens.

Xein chose this since there isn't a required nor designated outfit for the Class Duels. Mages only need to feel comfortable, any outfit will do.

"Let's go to our class and later, I'll watch yours." Zen said.

Nodding, Xein took his handbag and left the house with Zen.
