I’m back, and this time I need to rest well. I lay down in my dormitory, quietly reflecting. It seems like so much has happened since I arrived in the Underworld, and there are many things I still don’t understand. I wish Prisoner were here. By the way, that Nine Charm.
“Nine Charm, are you okay?” I almost forgot about him and wondered if he had come out yet.
“I’m out, thank you.” Nine Charm appeared before me, but he looked quite tired.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look so good.” I looked at him with concern.
“You’re not a ghost; who are you?” It seemed he had realized something.
Since he had already formed a bond with me and trusted me with his life, I felt I shouldn’t keep anything from him anymore.
“I’m indeed not a ghost. Right now, I’m just a soul out of my body. I’m a Dream Soul Master from the human realm, here to train.”
Nine Charm widened his eyes in surprise as he looked at me. As expected, it was hard for him to accept that I was human at first.
“You say you’re a Dream Soul Master?” His reaction was intense; his green eyes were suddenly filled with red veins as he stared at me. It was as if he wasn’t really looking at me but rather through me, as if I might disappear with a blink.
“Yes, what about it?” I replied cautiously.
“Oh, nothing. What is that power inside you? It seems to be rejecting me.” Nine Charm frowned as he looked at me.
“That’s called Pure Sound. It hasn’t fully integrated into my body yet; once I become stronger, it will disappear. It’s from the Divine Feather in the divine realm, and by chance, I obtained it.” I chuckled lightly. I felt relaxed around him; at least when I was still in the Underworld, he would be by my side like Prisoner, and we could talk.
“You still have things from the divine realm; it seems you’re quite extraordinary. You really are like a mystery with many different aspects,” he said with a slight smile.
“You might not be used to Pure Sound right now, but it will get better over time. My magical beast initially rejected it too, but now it’s much better and has gained many benefits. Perhaps you can also gain its power. As for your comment about me being a mystery, I actually think I'm quite simple. Feel free to ask me anything directly; I will definitely tell you.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I might deceive you?”
"Don't be afraid, because you are Nine Charm." My goodness, I barely know him, where did this strange comment come from? I could only smile awkwardly.
Nine Charm was taken aback for a moment. He sighed and looked at me with a hint of sadness, as if he was reminded of something. At that moment, Nine Charm's memory began to recall the girl who had given him warmth...
"Can you tell me your name now?"
"I... I am called Nine Charm."
"Sister Jiu? Heh, that's funny, Sister Jiu."
"I told you not to laugh. This name is known only to you now; my parents are gone."
"Alright, from now on only I can call you by that name, and no one else can tell it."
"Mm."
"Aren't you afraid of me? They all fear me, so they want to kill me."
"What is there to be afraid of?"
"When I transform, I can get very wild. Aren't you afraid I might eat you?"
"I'm not afraid, because you are Nine Charm."
...
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" I waved my hand in front of Nine Charm's eyes. Why is he staring blankly like this? Is he dazed?
"Ah? It's nothing, I—there's a sound coming this way, I need to go back first." It seemed like Nine Charm wanted to say something but was interrupted. However, that's fine; we will have plenty of time to talk later.
"Xi Meng, I'm here, open the door." Heh heh, it's Xiaopu. I knew she would rush over at the first opportunity.
“Xiaopu, it's only been a little while since we last met, and you miss me this much?” I said, looking at Xiaopu who hugged me as soon as the door opened, feeling quite helpless.
“What do you mean? You've been gone for almost half a year; that's not short at all.”
“Really? Has it been that long?”
“How have you been living? Honestly, there are less than ten new students sent by the school this time. I wanted to go too; it's really boring in the academy, and I hardly talked to any of them.” Xiaopu pouted, looking aggrieved. I knew that most of the academies here were quite snobbish, and Xiaopu's personality didn't match well with them.
“Alright, I'm back now.”
“Yeah, it's great that you're back. Hehe. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the important matter; the instructor asked me to find you.”
I wondered how Xiaopu knew so quickly; it turned out the instructor had told her. “What could it be about?”
“I don't know either. Maybe just asking about something or talking about the upcoming competition.”
“Then let's go.” I closed the door and casually walked with Xiaopu, chatting about Dream City, of course omitting anything related to Nine Charm.
“Xi Meng, look over there! What's going on? So many Students are gathered around.” Xiaopu pointed to our right front.
“Oh, I know. That's the Duel Arena. The school encourages Students to compete with each other as long as there are no serious injuries or deaths. Come on, let's go take a look,” she continued.
“Never mind, Xiaopu, the instructor is still waiting.”
“Oh come on, it's fine! The instructor just said not to rush you and to go when you have time; they are so nice. Let's go check it out; this doesn't happen often.” After saying that, she pulled me along with surprising strength for her small stature.
Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, the match had already ended, and the surroundings had returned to silence. But when I saw the figure in the Duel Arena, I was taken aback; wasn't that Silver Moon Senior? The opponent must also be a senior level student, but he was half-kneeling on the ground, apparently injured.
“I told you, with your level, how could you compare to Prince Silvermoon? If you want to chase after me, you'd better think twice and consider your own abilities,” said Fire Fan, who excitedly jumped onto the stage and linked arms with Silver Moon, proudly looking at the injured Male Student.
“This is the last time. If you trouble me again over such trivial matters, then no matter who it is, don’t show up in the academy again,” Silver Moon coldly looked at all the Students below the stage and said impatiently.
"It seems I'm really not as good as you, Fire Fan. I won't compete with you." The injured Male Student seemed to really like Fire Fan; it was clear he was very sad.
Silver Moon frowned slightly, then said more gently, "She's not mine; we're just friends." He took Fire Fan's hand away and instantly appeared downstage.
The Male Student's eyes brightened again as he looked happily at Fire Fan. But Fire Fan completely ignored him and said to Silver Moon, "I like you, always have since we were kids. I won't give up!" Aside from being proud, Fire Fan had many good qualities; at least she was very brave.
Silver Moon seemed not to hear and said to a figure, "Let's go." I turned around and saw that Wild Ghost Senior was also there. For some reason, I always wanted to hide when I saw him.
"Xi Meng, where are you going? Wait for me!" Xiaopu shouted loudly. I turned around and indeed saw Silver Moon and Wild Ghost looking at me. Should I greet them?
"Xi Meng, didn't you say you were going to rest? How did you end up here?" Silver Moon approached me and asked. Although he wasn't smiling, his tone was much better than before.
"Xiaopu said the instructor was looking for me and wanted me to come over. It's not urgent; I'm just taking a look. What are you doing here, Senior?" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a collective gasp behind me. Did I say something wrong? I looked at Xiaopu and found her looking at me in surprise as well.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a small matter. Wild Ghost and I were about to go see the director; it's on the way, so let's go together." Silver Moon said casually as if we had known each other for a long time. Wild Ghost also walked over, and feeling nervous, I jumped back a step and said loudly, "Senior Ghost!"
Wild Ghost clearly didn't expect me to react this way and was taken aback.
"Haha, Xi Meng, why do you seem scared of Wild Ghost every time?" Silver Moon laughed.
"No way, hehe, not at all," I replied awkwardly.
"Let's go together," Wild Ghost said to me. I thought it would be better to decline when suddenly Fire Fan's voice rang out: "Ah! Xi Meng, I want to duel with you!" I was completely stunned; see? What I feared had come true.
