Soon after her awakening, she was called by the Head of many academies. Originally, many expected her to choose King's Academy but instead, she chose Dark Moon Academy. The reason was quite simple. The Dark Moon Academy was an all-girls academy and it also gave her the most benefits.
One million dollars each year. Originally she thought she would be able to pay off their debt easily and give her brothers a happy life but another year at her birthday, everything was ruined once again. Their parents came with another huge debt.
They said she was awakened, she should help her parents. That night, she had to go through many curses and schemes. Finally, she decided to pay off their last debts but on one condition. From now on, they have to sign a contract.
There weren't many things stated in the contract except one. From that day onward, Lauren, Luke, and Lucas won't have any social or physical relationship with their parents. Except for the blood relationship, they can't force Lauren, Luke, or Lucas on any other occasions.
But this also made them pay a huge cost. This time, it was fifty million in debt. For this debt, Lauren had to take risks and hunt down other monsters to earn. The previous year, Luke also awakened an A-Rank innate ability and chose Sirus Academy. This academy was smart and had checked Luke's background, so they used their wealth and made Luke join them with the scholarship of two million dollars per year.
Remembering everything, Lucas held back his tear and murmured "B… But… sister, what about the de...?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lauren blocked his mouth with her index finger and said "I awakened an A-Rank ability, almost closer to S-Rank. The same goes for Luke, but we weren't able to enjoy our talent. They left us with burden but that burden is not you."
"As your elder brother and sister, we can't allow you to hold this burden. Lucas, we weren't there to stay and live with you when you were just a kid. But he was, he made you feel happy but now, are you going to make him feel unhappy?"
At this moment, she caressed his cheeks and said "Lucas, you don't have to worry. The debt is almost cleared, and we don't have any relationship with them, so they won't cause us trouble anymore. So, join the King's Academy, use your potential to the fullest."
"King's Academy is the best of the best and only the chosen ones are found there. There are lots of competition where you have to push yourself to the limit and use your talent to break that limit. Lightning is the supreme way of heaven and you must hold it tight."
Suddenly, she embraced him and thought 'Soon brother, very soon, we will show them who the kings are? Demon King of Atharos, I'll soon crush you under my feet.'
Lauren awakened her A-Rank talent at the age of thirteen, and from then on her cultivation rapidly improve. Now, she was eighteen. After five years, her cultivation had already reached the fourth stage of General Rank. This is what Lucas thinks.
She was very talented, not just in her cultivation but also in comprehension of different self-taught arts. Due to her comprehension, she usually gets the upper hand in the fight against the monsters which made her earn a lot.
And due to constant battles, her cultivation keeps on improving. But till now, she hasn't used any kinds of cultivation supplements. Normally, there are lots of cultivation supplements but just the lowest rank could cost up to fifty thousand dollars.
Naturally, she couldn't afford it. After she gave him a tight and warm embrace, her eyeballs turned around as she said "For how long are you going to pretend to sleep?"
"Ahh! Lauren, you are really vigilant." Mike rubbed his nose and lift his upper body, sitting on the couch. He didn't stand up since his body was still tired.
"So, you heard it all." Lauren looked at Mike and said with a warning from her eyes. Mike quickly caught her warning and make a big ugly smile, saying "I didn't hear anything before you explained about the King's Academy."
"That means, you heard it all." Without even blinking an eye, Lauren directly spoke which made Mike's heart pumped. He didn't understand why Lauren was doing it. He got no choice but to think of a perfect answer. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, I heard everything."
"But I don't mind whichever academy Lucas chooses. It's not like we are girlfriend and boyfriend who need to stick together all the time. He is my best friend and I'm his best friend. There is no way, we would forget each other just because of Academy and ranks. Am I wrong, Lucas?"
"No, you are right Mike. No matter which academy we end, we'll always befriend." Lucas repeatedly nodded his head at my words, with a pleasant and big smile.
"Bam" But when we put arms on each other's shoulders, Lauren slammed both of our heads with each other.
'Ouch!' Seeing that collision, a chill crawls down Luke's spine as he slowly moved back while his body was still shaking hard.
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Both of you are going to the King's Academy otherwise I'll use my silver bat to break both of your eggs. So that you two won't ever get separated, understand?" From Mike's and Lucas's back, an image of a demon king flash.
This demon king was none other than Lauren who had a crazy scary look on her face that almost made Mike and Lucas pee on their pants. They immediately kneeled on the floor and shouted "WE WILL DO WHAT YOUR HIGHNESS ORDERS US TO DO."
"By the way Mike, why are you working so hard? And all by yourself." Lucas suddenly remembered Mike's condition when he was given a princess ride by Lauren and asked with worry.
"It was nothing. I was just following a new schedule that I made for myself after awakening." Naturally, Mike couldn't say 'I have a system that realizes task and I had to complete. Otherwise, you might just find my corpse next morning.'
Even Mike doesn't understand why but he was fearful of the system's punishment. Maybe he thought the system will grant him another death during his first sex, so he was worried a little.
"By the way Mike, don't take it as an offense but in King's Academy eyes, E-Rank is nothing but trash, maybe even lower. So why would they invite you?" Hearing Lauren's question, he didn't know how to explain but her next sentence made him frightened.
"Or rather why would you make...….?"
