"Forgive me for being unreasonable and selfish. I just had a bad day and unknowingly vented it on you. I shouldn't have done that. I also apologize for calling you a pervert. It won't happen again." (Astelle)
Argus looked into her eyes. It was strange how he could tell she wasn't lying, probably because of his skill.
"I accept your apology." (Argus)
Hearing what Argus said, Astelle was shocked.
"What?! That's all you want to say?... Ah." (Astelle)
Astelle unconsciously blurted out. Her lips were twitching.
'You're not very talkative, are you?' (Astelle)
"Looks like the problem is solved. You can pay me in this code; just transfer the money tomorrow. I will go now. Just live here like it's your home. Goodnight, youngsters." (Old lady)
"Thank you, Grandma." (Twins)
"Thanks." (Argus)
After the old lady exited the house,
"Where's my room?" (Argus)
"Wait, wait, wait... Oum, let's introduce ourselves again since there was a problem a while ago." (Kelvin)
Kelvin said while looking at his sister.
"Tsk... I know, I know... Once again, forgive me for being selfish. Ahem... Let me introduce myself. I am Astelle Arisia. I am here to enroll at the Arcana Hunter Academy. Nice meeting you." (Astelle)
"I am Kelvin Arisia, twin brother of Astelle. Like her, I am also here to enroll at the Arcana Hunter Academy. Nice meeting you." (Kelvin)
"Argus Orpheus. I am also waiting for enrollment." (Argus)
"Let's be friends, Mr. Orpheus. One of the reasons we came here is to make friends. Let's make you our first friend." (Kelvin)
Argus looked at Kelvin. He felt that he wasn't lying, but he did not accept or reject his offer.
"Suit yourself. By the way, where's my room?" (Argus)
"Oh... Anyway, I am sure that we will become good friends. We still have a month to get to know each other." (Kelvin)
Kelvin said his room was on this floor. The siblings' rooms were on the second floor of the house. He then entered his room and set his things.
'It's nicer than my house.' (Argus)
Argus then closed his eyes, thinking of what happened earlier.
'Those two are strong.' (Argus)
A smirk appeared on his lips, then he went to sleep. He had already eaten on the way here. Back with the siblings, they were in Astelle's room.
"Sister, why did you act like that? It was too rude. If mother learns about this, you will probably be grounded." (Kelvin)
"Don't you dare tell her, or you know what will happen to you. It's just that what happened on our first day here made me angry. Too many perverts; just thinking about it makes me angry. Sigh... And I already apologized, didn't I?" (Astelle)
"Lower your voice, or he might hear you." (Kelvin)
Argus could hear what they were talking about if he focused all his attention, but he was currently resting. Even if he weren't, he wasn't interested in hearing other people's conversations.
"Sigh... You need to get used to it. We're not at home, after all. Still... You shouldn't have vented on Mr. Orpheus. If he leaves, I think it will be harder to connect with him." (Kelvin)
"What? That's unusual for you. Approaching someone and making connections with a stranger." (Astelle)
"You also noticed it, right? Normally, with our bloodline, people feel a bit of pressure when they come near us. Especially a normal human who just awakened. I'm not looking down on humans. Anyway... My instincts tell me not to make him an enemy. Didn't you notice it?" (Kelvin)
"Now that you mention it... You're right; he's too calm even when he's near both of us. As for my instincts, I didn't notice it since I was pissed earlier." (Astelle)
"Anyway... Don't make him your enemy. He's strong; the mana inside his body is too much for a new awakener. I don't know what his level is, but he's different from the humans we've met earlier. If you don't want to make him your friend, then don't get on his bad side. I'm going to sleep... Goodnight, sister." (Kelvin)
"Hmph... I'm not that petty. Goodnight." (Astelle)
Kelvin went back to his room. Astelle, on the other hand, was thinking about what her brother said.
"Kelvin acknowledges him, huh. Well, I don't care... I just want to find friends at the academy." (Astelle)
Astelle then closed her eyes to sleep.

Morning arrived; it was 5:00 A.M., and Argus woke up to do his daily training. He was about to go out when he heard footsteps from the stairs. He looked in that direction and saw Astelle in a cute white pajama with her still messy hair. If someone saw her, they would find her very beautiful. It looked like she still didn't notice him since she just sloppily stretched her arms and yawned. As she raised her hands, her clothes also lifted up. Argus saw her gorgeous body, especially her belly button.
Argus inadvertently stared at her; realizing this, he immediately turned away. He then opened the front door and quickly went out for a jog. Not long after, Astelle became conscious and realized there was another person in the house. Seeing Argus leaving, Astelle unconsciously covered her body and ducked.
"You—you—you... Did you see it?! Come back here, you perv-... you bastard!" (Astelle)
Astelle didn't expect someone to see her in that embarrassing situation. Her face turned crimson; if anyone saw her now, they would find her very cute. Her brother usually got up late, unlike her, who woke up early to train, so she let her guard down. She didn't think Argus was an early bird like her, and this situation happened.
"What? What is it? Is there an enemy?!" (Kelvin)
Astelle's shout woke Kelvin. He thought there was an invader in their house, so he hurriedly got up and took a battle stance. Then he saw his sister sitting in a corner, covering her body while having a very cute flushed face but looking aggrievedly at the door.
Kelvin looked in that direction and saw Argus's silhouette in a training suit running. He then turned his gaze back to his sister. After thinking for a while, a scenario formed in his head that was not far from the truth. Kelvin's face started twitching when he came to that conclusion.
"Sigh... Aren't you unlucky, sister? That's probably heaven's retribution for yo—" (Kelvin)
Before his sentence could finish, a punch suddenly came near his face, sending him flying.
"Ahhh!" (Kelvin)
"What did you say? I can't quite understand?" (Astelle)
"Nothing... I didn't say anything. Do you hear someone talking? Who is it?! Show yourself!" (Kelvin)
Kelvin started feigning ignorance. A sweat formed on his forehead; he didn't want to be implicated by his angry sister, or he already was.
"That bastard... He saw my body; he is really a pervert! Don't let him come back here, or else I will kill him!" (Astelle)
Astelle was really in an aggrieved situation, although it was entirely her fault. Of course, she would not admit it.
"But!?" (Kelvin)
"Huh?!" (Astelle)
Sigh.
"Yes... I will tell him." (Kelvin)
Astelle then grudgingly walked toward the bathroom. After taking a bath, she changed into her training suit and went out to train. Many people saw her and were amazed by her beauty, but she just ignored them and continued to run.
{Argus's POV}
Argus was still thinking about why he did something like that. He then remembered the beautiful scene earlier.
'She's as beautiful as that person.' (Argus)
Argus unconsciously muttered. Realizing what he was saying, he shook his head and started slapping his face. He then tried to forget that scene, but he found it hard.
'Let's just train.' (Argus)
Argus then focused his mind on running. He ran toward the Northern Entrance since he wanted to do his daily routine outside. He thought it would be more peaceful.
Shortly afterward, a woman who also wore a training suit was running with an annoyed expression in the same direction Argus went.
"I should go out, or I might encounter that bastard here. It should be more peaceful outside. Grr... I pray that I will not meet you." (Astelle)
It looked like the two had the same plan in mind. If Argus could hear what this woman was saying, he might move to another place.
Argus continued to run; not long after, he found a good place to train, a glade. He then started his training: push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and hand-to-hand combat training. Of course, there was no enemy, but Argus used image training; he did not want to be disturbed, so he always found a peaceful place like this.
It was already 6:00 A.M., and Argus finished his daily routine training. He planned to go back and head to the guild. Argus then walked back in the direction he came from.
