In an VIP room on the Northern stand, two girls were sitting on a luxurious sofa. Behind them, two girls were standing with maid uniform. Respect and admiration were evident in their eyes.
If Zaiden were to see the two girls sitting on the sofa, he would surely be shocked. Because he knew them both.
One of them was his older sister, Angelica. While the other girl who was about the same age as Angelica was Irene. She was also a friend of Angelica.
Zaiden knew her because she would often visit their home. She gave Zaiden the image of a mischievous older sister. But even she couldn't shake Angelica's image as the best older sister in Zaiden's heart.
While the Spirit Soul Awakening Ceremony was ongoing.
Irene looked towards Angelica and said. "You know, you shouldn't have done this to him."
Angelica just humped in annoyance and retorted. "It was he who forced me to bring him here."
Irene shook her head but then a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Oh, so you could bear when his heart is broken." Then she made a fake sad expression on her face and her eyes were almost teary. "You are so cruel to your brother, Angelica."
Angelica got embarrassed and retorted angrily. "Could you just shut up!?"
Irene stopped pretending and came back to her usual self. She looked at a certain direction through the viewing glass and smiled.
"If you don't make him fall in love with you, then I am gonna make him mine. You won't have a. . ."
"Don't even think about it!"
Angelica subconsciously stopped Irene in the middle of her sentence without thinking.
Irene was shocked for a moment as she would have never expected such a reply from her friend but then a smile appeared on her face as she thought to herself.
'It won't be so easy, huh.'

"Token Number 47, come up."
Hearing the number '47', Zaiden walked up towards the stage nervously. After being instructed by the middle aged man, he kept the token in the box before placing his right hand on the transparent orb.
Zaiden felt a cool and refreshing aura entering his body and going back towards the orb.
After some time, the orb glowed with a metallic lustre. As the glow grew brighter, a shadowy figure appears above the orb. Slowly, it materialised into a sword.
Soon, it disappeared and the orb returned back to being transparent.
The middle aged man nodded his head and announced the final result.
"Tier Two Sword Soul."
As soon as Zaiden heard this, he felt as if the world was falling apart. Although this may be a good soul for others, it was not enough for Zaiden to enter the Royal Academy where his older sister was enrolled.
He went back absentmindedly towards the exit. Right now, his mind was in complete chaos. But this was a result that shocked someone at the same time as well.

Irene spoke up with shock and confusion in her tone. "This shouldn't have happened, right?"
But even after a few seconds, no reply came. Thus she looked next to her but found that Angelica was nowhere to be found.
"I must go, see you later." A voice pierced through the wall and entered Irene's ears.
She took a moment to understand the situation and hurriedly called Angelica.
"Wait for me. I am coming too."
Saying so, the rushed out of the room. The two maids disappeared as well. As such, the room was now completely devoid of life.

Zaiden moved through the crowdy area and after a somewhat long journey, he reached the exit. Even without looking around, he headed towards to main road.
Just as he was about to move towards the direction of his home, a car stopped in front of him. He looked at the driver's seat and found Angelica. Even Irene was next to her.
Zaiden didn't have the heart to greet them and thus he got on the backseat.
Seeing Zaiden as such Irene felt a pain in her heart. She looked towards Angelica and nodded her head. Angelica seeing this threw a glance st Zaiden through the rear view mirror.
She hit the gas and drove the car home.
After about twenty minutes, they reached home.
