Chapter 48 Senior Sister's Temptation

　　In the darkness, Sain was breathing heavily after intense exercise.

　　His right hand was rubbing Lena's fragrant shoulder, and with his good night vision, he noticed a touch of blush on her face.

　　After a long silence, Sain finally confessed everything to Lena.

　　He came to Shadowy Territory when he was six years old and was taken in by Lena at eight years old.

　　He had lived with Lena for twelve years, which was already three-fifths of his short twenty-year life.

　　In the end, he couldn't betray Lena, even though he confessed everything, which also marked Sain's readiness to fall out with Senior Sister.

　　However, to Sain's surprise, Lena remained calm after he told her everything, without the outrage he had expected.

　　Only a strange glint flashed in her eyes, indicating that Lena's mood was not calm at the moment.

　　"What are you going to do?" Lena suddenly asked Sain.

　　Sain had a feeling that if he said he wanted to fight Senior Sister, Lena would definitely be an accomplice.

　　Of course, Sain could not say that.

　　Even if he fell out with Senior Sister, the relationship among the members of the same sect would still be there, although it might not be as close as before.

　　Speaking of which, both Mosido and Zoro, Sain's mentor and senior brother, were busy people.

　　Since he joined Mosido's sect, the one he talked to and interacted with the most was Senior Sister Faye.

　　"I plan to reject Senior Sister," Sain said sincerely.

　　Although it was in the dark, Lena also saw the bright eyes of Sain.

　　He was not deceiving himself, Lena thought to herself.

　　But to Sain's surprise, Lena shook her head after a moment and said, "I think you should go and meet her. It's just... nothing to lose."

　　" On the contrary, if you have this relationship with your Senior Sister, you will have a better time in Mosido's sect in the future."

　　Lena's words surprised Sain, and he looked at her incredulously, asking, "Don't you mind this kind of thing?"

　　Glancing at Sain, Lena replied, "Of course I mind! If I had the strength of a formal Dark Magician, I would definitely hang up and whip your Senior Sister."

　　"In Shadowy Territory, our first priority is to stay alive, right?" Lena shook her head.

　　"I know you've been wanting to go back to the Surface, even asking your mentor where exactly us Dark Magic Apprentices come from in the Wizarding World."

　　"Being an Advanced Apprentice is not the end goal for us. Only when you reach the level of a Quasi-Magician or even a full-fledged Magician can you find your way back home."

　　Lena sighed softly, leaning into Sain's embrace.

　　The warmth of Lena's body made Sain's emotions boil over.

　　He hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear, "For me, home is wherever you are."

　　Sain's words lit a fire in Lena's heart, and soon they were both consumed by their feelings.

　　Their suppressed gasps and the creaking of the bed were all that could be heard in the long and exhausting night.

　　...

　　Three days later, Sain arrived at the dormitory building of Senior Sister Faye as planned.

　　Senior Sister Faye's dormitory was the last building in the apprentice dormitory area.

　　There were no more than thirty apprentices living here, and Senior Sister Faye lived in the first room on the left side of the second floor.

　　Sain had been here once before, two years ago, when he helped Senior Sister Faye move some large experimental equipment.

　　Senior Sister Faye's strength was definitely among the best of the Advanced Apprentices, having won several academy awards.

　　Of course, this strength referred to the magic props that Senior Sister Faye had at her disposal.

　　Of the three disciples under Mentor Mosido, Senior Sister Faye was the only one who dared to act spoiled towards the mentor and even ask for magic props from him.

　　Over seventy percent of the "little things" that the mentor casually made over the years had ended up in Senior Sister Faye's pockets.

　　Sain didn't know how many magic props Senior Sister had exactly, but he had seen three Advanced magic props of quality comparable to the Acidic Wand of Strength in her hands.

　　Senior Sister was definitely the wealthy and beautiful girl of the Dark Magic Academy apprentices' circle.

　　She once told Sain that he had hit the jackpot, and that was no lie.

　　Sain walked with heavy steps, feeling a bit strange, and arrived at Senior Sister Faye's door.

　　He knocked softly, and since there weren't many people in the dormitory building, his knocking sounded particularly clear.

　　Most of the people living in the building were advanced apprentices and aspiring magicians.

　　Sain wondered if there would be any bored person noticing his arrival and thinking, "What's an intermediate apprentice doing here?"

　　In just two or three seconds, the door in front of Sain opened quickly.

　　Senior Sister Faye was wearing a white, airy long dress, not a wizard robe.

　　Sain was a little stunned at first sight.

　　Faye blushed as she noticed Sain's dumbfounded expression.

　　She quickly pulled him into the room and closed the door with a bang.

　　Sain's guess was correct, as a quasi-Magician on the upper floor noticed the situation.

　　The observer was a quasi-Magician of necromancy on Faye's floor, also the Senior Brother of Dark Magician Colonso's apprentice Mike, who fought Lena to a draw in the Academy assessment a few years ago.

　　"Ha ha, this old woman can't hold back anymore."

　　"Who's that little guy? He looks tender and juicy."

　　"Poor Ailong, we used to work on Academy missions together, and that woman was our common pursuit."

　　"But twenty years have passed, you died early, and I have no desire in that area."

　　"I didn't expect these newcomers to the Academy to be the beneficiaries." The quasi-Magician shook his head and said.

　　The quasi-Magician who discovered the abnormality in the dormitory building below didn't look like a human anymore, as Dark Master Colonso liked to conduct limb amputation and reconstruction experiments on his apprentices, making him famous in the entire Dark Magic Academy.

　　Mike, the advanced apprentice who died under Colonso's hands, had only four arms, which was considered mild.

　　The quasi-Magician in front of them had almost been completely replaced, inside and out, in terms of organs and skin.

　　The Quasi-Magician's hair was replaced by layers of chilling gray skin that reached even taller than his height, making him look like a long-haired monster.

　　However, the gray skin effectively covered his terrifying appearance, at least enough for him to walk around the academy without scaring the young apprentices.

　　Despite this, the Quasi-Magician rarely left his dormitory unless summoned by his mentor, Colonelso.

　　He would spend almost the entire year in his room, as a bored Quasi-Dark Magician muttered downstairs.

　　As Senior Sister held him up in front of the bed, Sain was in a state of shock.
