ONLINE: Blades of Eternity

"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked again with a straight look on his face as he stood calmly at the entrance of the room.

'I should be the one asking you that question!' Kaelen thought with a frown on his face. When Ethan saw Kaelen's expression, he also formed a deep frown on his face as he asked while taking a step closer to Kaelen.

"Why aren't you answering me?"

"Hold on Ethan!! He is my friend!!" Right at this moment, both Kaelen and Ethan heard a voice which came from out the room before they saw Morris storm into the room.

"What is going on here Morris?"

"What sort of a friend walks into every room in a lounge that isn't his?"

Both Kaelen and Ethan said at the same time as they both put their attention on Morris who is still catching his breath from the short sprint he has just went through.

"I forgot to tell you Kaelen but Ethan is also staying with me in the lounge and apparently, we are in his room" Morris suddenly said after he has relaxed a bit.

"What?" Kaelen muttered with an incredulous look on his face. But Ethan expression didn't change as he continued to look at Morris.

"As for you Ethan. He will also be staying with us from now on so it isn't bad for him to check the lounge" Morris eventually said as he put his gaze on Ethan.

When Ethan heard him, his frown deepened as the air in the room suddenly became extremely tense. But after a few moments, he suddenly vanished from the room while he said.

"Do as you wish"

'That was close' Morris thought as he took in a deep sigh of relief. As for Kaelen, he was still dumbfounded by what Morris told him earlier.

"Wait, so you are telling me I will be staying with a senior?" Kaelen eventually asked with a doubtful look now on his face. Even if he clearly heard what Morris told him before, he still wanted to confirm he wasn't hearing things.

"Well in a way yeah, is there a problem with it?" Morris replied with a honest look on his face.

"Oh no, there isn't any problem with it at all" Kaelen quickly answered with a light smile on his face even if he was ecstatic within him.

'I can't believe I get to stay with a senior in the same lounge, and he is even a strong one at that. Maybe I can secretly observe his training sessions and improve my Swordsmanship that way'

"That's good. Now let's quickly leave this place and take you to your room before he gets back. He really loves his privacy so his top gets blown when his personal space gets invaded" Morris said as he quickly turned and began to step out of the room.

'Ah shit!!' But when Kaelen heard him, his face suddenly twitched as a drop of cold sweat strolled down the left side of his face. But he eventually followed Morris out the room.

After taking a few steps down the hallway, Kaelen and Morris finally stopped in front of the second to the last room at the right side of the hall.

"This is your room" Morris said as he quickly opened the door. As for Kaelen, he didn't hesitate to walk into the room right after Morris opened it.

'Hmm... There isn't much difference to the Ethans own' Kaelen thought as he observed the room that is now his.

The bed in the room, while still the focal point, has a slightly different design. The frame is made of a lighter, natural wood, giving it a more rustic feel. The bedding features a soft, muted blue duvet with white accents, and the pillows are a mix of solid colors and subtle patterns, adding a touch of personality.

The headboard is adorned with a few decorative cushions, providing extra comfort and a hint of style.Beside the bed, the nightstand is made of darker wood, contrasting with the bed frame. On it sits a sleek, modern lamp with a cylindrical shade, providing a warm and adjustable light.

A small digital clock and a few personal items, like a journal and a pen, rest on the nightstand, suggesting a space for jotting down thoughts or plans.The walls are painted in a soft, pale green, giving the room a refreshing and calming vibe.

Instead of a single piece of art, the wall opposite the bed features a small collection of framed photographs and illustrations, each carefully chosen to reflect a personal touch or memory.

This creates a more personalized and inviting atmosphere.A compact wooden desk is placed near the window, equipped with a simple chair. On the desk, a few books are neatly stacked alongside a small, decorative lamp and a potted succulent.

This addition suggests a space for studying or quiet work, enhancing the room's functionality.The flooring is bare wood, polished to a gentle sheen, and a small, intricately patterned rug is placed near the bed, adding warmth and texture.

The windows are dressed with light, airy curtains in a soft cream color, allowing for privacy while still letting in ample natural light.The balcony, accessible through a set of French doors, is slightly larger than the previous room's.

It features two chairs and a small round table, perfect for enjoying a quiet moment or conversation while overlooking the academy's gardens. The view is serene, with a glimpse of the surrounding landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons.

"I kept those books that is on that desk for you. It talks about the structure of mana and it's functionality. They should help" Morris said as he pointed at the books that is neatly arranged on the desk.

"Ok" Kaelen replied as he went towards the desk and picked one of the books up. The book he picked up is a plain looking book that is colored in brown. At the front cover of the book, the words 'Mana Structure' could be seen written pretty boldly on it.

While at the back, some strange and ominous runes could be seen there. Just as Kaelen was about to go into the book, Morris suddenly spoke up again as he pointed at a door which was at the left side of the bed inwhich Kaelen didn't notice previously.

"While in there, I kept your spare uniform Incase u wanna change or emergencies"

"Oh, didn't see that there" Kaelen said in surprise as he went towards that area and quickly opened the door. What he saw was a couple of the Pace Setter Academy uniform being hanged in row.

"Well, that will be all for now. So I will see you later" Morris said calmly before he walked out of the room.

"Thank you again!!" Kaelen exclaimed loudly right after he noticed that Morris has gone out of the room.

"Your welcome!!" And just a short moment later, he heard a shout which obviously belongs to Morris who is replying to Kaelen.

"Now then, let's see how strong I am currently" Kaelen muttered in a good mood as he quickly sat down on his bed.

"Online: Blades of Eternity" And in the next moment, he muttered as he kept his eyes forward.

Beep!!

Not even a minute passed before a screen suddenly popped up on Kaelen's face. Along with the screen came contents that was appearing on the screen which obviously is relating to Kaelen. But what he saw on the screen immediately made him go blank.
