July 4, 2080.

Saturday, 7:00 AM.

...

...

Eve, Adelle, and Aoi are all together, they're in the guild building of the [Coldvale].

And to be exact, they're inside of an underground training ground.

It's a room as big of a football field and there's a lot of high-class equipment all around the area.

Anyway, Aoi is standing tall at the very far end of the room.

Shh- Shh- Shh–

And she's consecutively firing mana-coated arrows toward the other side of the room with her very precise and swift hand movements!

Phush-!

But all of the arrows Aoi shot were being blocked!

And the one responsible for blocking them was Adelle!

Adelle is at the opposite side of the room.

And she's currently using various defensive magics to prevent Aoi's arrow from hitting her!

"Aoi keeps hitting the same area again and again...!"

Adelle exclaimed.

'This is why I hate marksman!'

'And the worst is because I'm a support, they always target me first!'

She thought as she strengthen the mana barrier around her just in case.

Also Aoi is currently under many debuffs that were casted by Adelle to her!

This is how both of them are training for hours now!

And while all of that are happening... Eve is relaxing at the resting area and she's using her phone.

"Oh, a new novel by author Night."

Eve said with curiosity.

"Eros, the weapon master..."

"What a weird title..."

Then she stated.

Eve did scoffed at the title of the novel, but she's actually expecting a lot from the novel.

Click-

So without further ado, she opened the novel and started reading it.

***

An hour after Eve started reading.

Adelle and Aoi stopped their training for a while and met at the center of the room.

Then they curiously looked at Eve.

Eve was frowning really hard and she seems frustrated...

"Ugh, why does it need to end at the exciting part...!"

Then Eve yelled, she was definitely annoyed.

And Adelle and Aoi heard her.

"What do you think happened?"

Aoi asked Adelle.

"Do you think it's because of Raven?"

And Adelle replied with a question too.

"Raven is the only one who have the nerve to annoy Eve after all."

Then she added.

"Well, most of the time, Raven annoys Eve without him knowing."

Aoi stated after she recalled some situations where Eve got annoyed at Raven.

"Maybe Eve just hate Raven because they're so similar."

"Others said that you'll either hate or love someone similar to you after all, then Eve turned out to hate Raven because of their similarities."

Adelle then said as she remembered something she saw in the internet.

Aoi squinted her eyes.

"Yeah, they're so similar to each other that they're like brother and sister."

Then she said.

"Well, we saw Raven together with Eve's dad privately..."

Adelle mumbled, then her eyes widened as an idea struck her mind.

So Adelle immediately shifted her gaze to Aoi...

"So what if Raven is an illegitimate son of Sir Clifford?"

Then she asked.

"That would explain Raven's strength and why he's hiding it before, also his mysterious backround too!"

Adelle added with an excited face.

And Aoi is just frowning at her words.

"You watch too much drama that you're getting delusional."

Aoi said.

"But it's possible that my guess is true."

And Adelle replied with a sly smile.

Aoi was about to say something...

"I'll just donate a huge amount again and ask for extra chapters for myself."

When the both of them heard Eve say something again.

They shifted their eyes toward Eve again.

Then they glanced at each other.

And after a while...

"Let's go see what she's up to."

Adelle suggested.

"Yeah."

And Aoi agreed.

And so, they quietly approched Eve.

***

[Eve's POV]

As I was on my phone and reading the extra chapters of [Eros:The Weapon Master] that I recieved from author Night...

"What are you doing?"

Someone appeared from my behind and asked me with a childish tone and voice.

It's Adelle.

And glancing at her from the corner of my eye, I can see that Aoi is with her and they're both curious about something.

"I'm reading."

I replied to Adelle's question, then I started reading again.

"What are you reading?"

But immediately after I answered, Adelle asked mr another question with the same childish tone and voice!

"A novel."

I answered without shifting my gaze away from my phone.

"What novel?"

Then Adelle asked again!

This time, I didn't answer.

Ting-

Ting-

Instead, I shared the novel to her and Aoi via text.

"That novel."

Then I said.

I saw both Adelle and Aoi looked at their phones.

And after that...

They both sat beside me.

"Mind if we sit here?"

Adelle asked.

I shook my head in response.

"You're already sitting anyway."

So with that, we all stopped training to read a novel...

***

An hour later after Aoi, Adelle, and Eve started reading.

=====

"Wow, you're really spending a lot of money in this author huh."

Adelle said to Eve.

She's at the site, [Vespera], and she's seeing the amount of Eve's donation for the author!

Aoi and Adelle already know that Eve is Nightfall.

In fact, they made their own accounts too!

Adelle's username is EmeraldSky.

While Aoi's username is Violet.

At Adelle's words, Eve looked at her.

And with a smirk...

"I'm pressuring the author to update more, and donating is the most effective way."

She stated.

"Erm... Sure."

Adelle thinks that Eve is quite scary when she smirks like that, so she just agreed to her.

"Anyway, this novel is really good."

Then she shifted the topic, Adelle was talking about [Eros:The Weapon Master].

"Yeah, the author's other novel is good too."

Then Eve replied.

"Oh, they have another one?"

"Yeah."

"I'll check it later."

Adelle genuinely said.

It's true that she found the novel she just read interesting.

As matter of fact, Adelle already caught up to the latest chapter of [Eros:The Weapon Master].

And she noticed one thing while reading it...

'The protagonist is very similar to Raven and Eve...'

Adelle thought as she remembered how the protagonist of the novel, Eros, acted the same way as Raven and Eve sometimes.

'Maybe that's the reason Eve got hooked in this novel...'

Ting-

It was then, Eve recieved a text notification.

"Oh, did the extra chapters you asked already arrived?"

Aoi immediately excitedly asked.

'She also got hooked at the novel huh...'

Adelle thought as she smiled inwardly.

Though, Adelle is also waiting for the extra chapters that Eve asked.

But too bad for them, Eve shook her head after reading the text she received.

Eve have a weird expression on her face.

"What happened?"

So Aoi asked her.

And Adelle waited for Eve's answer.

Eve then looked at the both of them.

Then she opened her mouth...

"Curtis said that Alec and Raven will have a spar tomorrow."

Then Eve declared!
