2465 - Two Paths

Mid Sector 99—Cosmic Sacred Covenant Academy

Step

Step

Morgana walked through the vast streets of the academy, a small, formal smile on her face, holding both hands beneath her navel and advancing with short, elegant steps.

The atmosphere around her was extremely tense…

Everyone in the academy was no youngster, but rather the leaders of the future.

Even after a large number of the Sons of the Behemoths withdrew following the rumors, exaggerations, and circulating clips, a considerable number of the Sons of the Behemoths scattered across the universe remained, as their fathers had still not decided what to do.

The many members of the Burton Family were anxious about the developments happening daily, especially with the news of the coming war in Mid Sector 90 within three years, and the revolutions erupting against their rule in all the sectors they had placed under their grip.

The Sons of the Cosmic Elder were worried about their father, and even if the elder brothers managed to convince the rest not to believe the rumors easily and to wait for the Spiritual Father's explanation, the explanation never came to them, for the Spiritual Father ignored them completely, and with their father's absence, the pressure and dark thoughts accumulated upon them daily.

A number of external forces, including the Syndicate, had already begun secretly contacting them through the Soul Society to pull them out of the academy for fear of their safety, but they refused to leave the place where their father had left them… for the time being.

But their Big Brother found it difficult to control them for long… some of them had already begun to feel that they were living in the house of their father's killer.

Even the teachers were in confusion… a large number of them had resigned and left, and some had even given up their privileges and returned the advance payments so they would have no connection to the academy.

As for those who remained, they contented themselves with the good treatment from the academies and tried to forget the accusations directed at them from the entire universe that they were working for a devilish force that was growing and spreading The Plague!

And amid this electrified atmosphere… the only smile in the place belonged to Morgana.

"Student," Morgana pointed to a young man sleeping under the tree, "come to the General Soul Lecture!"

Then with the same confident smile, she clapped toward a group of girls from the family of the Cosmic Elder, "Alright, alright, girls, chatting is fine, but the exams are approaching, cheer up!"

Morgana did not find the usual enthusiastic response… what she found was a cold glance, then a return to what they had been doing, and even the young man continued his sleep.

But she kept walking with the same confident smile.

Until she heard a voice:

"Your behavior is strange."

"Hmm?" Morgana stopped and turned toward the source of the voice, "Oh, the student who is not a student, Timari, what do you have for today?"

A girl with a red shirt and a braid shaped like a large knot kept moving her feet while sitting on a thick tree branch, "I was just wondering…" Timari tilted her head slightly, "Not just in the academy, but everything under Lord Robin is now suffering through blood or turmoil, everyone except you for some reason."

Then she raised one eyebrow, "Are you happy with what's happening, or something like that?"

"Are you questioning my loyalty to Lord Robin?" Morgana chuckled, "What will you gain if you prove that I am a bad girl who loves evil for him? Are you planning to take my place?"

"I just want to understand how his followers, whom he chose himself, think." Timari shrugged and looked away, "Pleasing that man is difficult."

"Oh?" Morgana raised her eyebrows, she understood something from that sentence, but she did not intend to press, "…I don't think much."

Then she looked at the road ahead with her head held high, "I have been entrusted with the task of overseeing education and building new Cosmic Academies, and I will do this until death."

"Education has fallen, all students and teachers have withdrawn or are acting cautiously. And building new academies? No one is applying for education in them, and Blokan is failing to appoint any new academy head!" Timari said in surprise.

"It really doesn't matter." Morgana smiled, "I will do what I have been entrusted with to the best of my ability until the last moment. At least he won't have to worry about the front where he stationed me, while he can think about the rest and find a solution for it… He is skilled at finding solutions, I assure you."

"……" Timari stared for a long time at the side of Morgana's head, "So Lord Robin's followers are crazy like him, blind faith and detachment from reality." Then she nodded, "I think this suits his personality."

"Hehe~" Morgana was slightly annoyed, "And what do you know about his personality? Has Lord Robin even seen you before?"

"He hasn't seen me, but he knows me, and believe me, I know him more than you do." Timari rested her small chin on her fingertip, "And what I see does not please me."

"…?" Morgana slightly furrowed her brows.

She had always doubted this girl, for her power was terrifying; she was undoubtedly stronger than just a 10-star soul lady, yet she attended classes and interacted with students her own age, intending only to earn enough test points to remain at the academy, trying to stay silent about her background and past.

But the Shadow Swords brought her history.

Timari, one of Morpheus's daughters and one of the greatest talents in the Dreamer Galaxy… When Morgana learned of her history, she decided to leave her at the academy.

But now she says she knows Robin?

"Listen, Morgana." Timari crossed her arms under her chest, "Lord Robin is someone who only busies himself with exploration and reformation, someone who only wants to remain in isolation to explore the world. I absolutely do not believe the matter of his supporting the plague for the sake of ruin."

Then she continued, "There is an alliance being woven against him by the Syndicate, the Tyrant, and the Council of Thrones — an alliance the likes of which has never happened before, and it will likely write the end of everything Lord Robin has gathered before he even begins his true path… This must not happen."

"…What do you suggest?" Morgana asked seriously.

"You must convince him to go meet my elder brother and take him as an ally somehow." Then Timari furrowed her brows, "Or go search for Athena."
