"I'm also a student" the man told me. "I'm your senior brother. My name is Altair Nano. Just call me Altair!"
"Ah—ha ha ha!" Evelyn chuckled agitatedly while scratching the back of her head that did not feel itchy. Then straighten his back while blushing. "I'm sorry" he said clumsily. "I thought you were the guardian."
His face looks old! thought Evelyn. How could I not have thought he was a guardian?
Altair chuckled back no less clumsy. "I came to deliver this," he said, holding out a new roll of blankets he had brought. "This is from Lord Vox!"
"He's back?" Evelyn received the blanket with both hands.
"Yes, speaking with Master Lotz." Altair.
"Thank you, by the way!" Evelyn brandished her blanket before her face.
Altair just smiled. "All right," he said, turning around. "See you later!"
Evelyn put her blanket on the bed, then continued her work of dusting.
Shortly thereafter, another man appeared with the same armor coat. But it is much more elegant with slightly different pieces.
The man stood in front of Evelyn's room with both hands crossed behind her body.
Evelyn looked up and gasped. Feeling familiar with his face that will not be changed while feeling bewitched.
A porcelain white taper face with dark fox eyes framed with firm eyebrows that are very harmonious with a sharp nose that looks haughty over a pair of thin red lips. The shape of his chin is very round in harmony with his taper face.
She was!
He's right here! he thought in astonishment, gripped by the immeasurable crazy euphoria.
"Ehem!" The man cleared his throat while clenching one of his hands in front of his mouth. Her flat voice jerked Evelyn out of curiosity.
"Nazareth! You went to school here too?" evelyn asked a little too enthusiastically without being able to cover up her admiration.
The man frowned, looking at Evelyn with his eyebrows linked. Next to his eyebrows raised high.
Coinciding with that, Xenephon emerged from the end of the veranda. "You're back?" he asked as he hurried closer to the man. He stopped and looked at Evelyn. "This is Lord Vox." He told her while raising one of his hands towards Nazareth. "Your guardian!"
"Ma—master?" Evelyn stuttered with her eyes and mouth rounded. Then turned to his guardian with a paled face.
Finish me! he said in his heart. Kneel down and prostrate in front of the man three times.
"What are you doing?" Nazareth bowed and scooped up Evelyn's shoulders, then sighed the girl standing up.
"Ma–-sorry!" evelyn stammered. He imagined Lord Vox might be his father's age or even older. Not expecting the owner of this academy to be the age of the guardians. As the owner of the academy who was also a chairman of a global elite organization, wasn't he too young? thought. "I didn't know you were Lord Vox!"
"Foolish girl," Nazareth smiled faintly. "There is no need to kneel down to apologize" he said. "It can only be done to the king and the parents. You just have to bend over."
Evelyn bowed to Nazareth. "A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a parent" he said solemnly. "At the same time you are the Head of the Order of Angelos. You are a king. You deserve my bow."
Nazareth glanced at Xenephon with a reproachful look. You told him?
Xenephon simply shrugged with a helpless expression.
Nazareth looked down at Evelyn. "Listen," he warned. "Regarding my other self, never tell anyone. Do you understand?"
Evelyn blinked and ventured to look at her guardian's face.
"Don't tell anyone that I'm the head of the order" Nazareth repeated.
"I understand," Evelyn replied as she bowed back.
"Continue your work and rest!" nazareth's orders while turning his back on Evelyn. "I'll send someone to your dinner!"
"Good, Master. Thank you!" Evelyn leaned deeper and deeper.
Before long, Nazareth rushed to his room at the end of the hall followed by Xenephon.
"Why did you give him such dangerous information?" Nazareth hissed sharply at Xenephon after they reached the veranda of Nazareth's room.
"He will still be hunted despite not knowing dangerous information" argued Xenephon with a face that is as flat as Nazareth.
"He has full spiritual strength" Xenephon said without the slightest burden. "He's ready to get his first chakra. The rest will depend on you and his cultivation."
Nazareth opened the sliding door in front of them without touching. The look on his face was sour as he walked into his room with wide steps.
Xenephon did not show any guilt. "Without a dangerous mission one will not thrive" he warned.
Nazareth groaned and turned to Xenephon, casting a sharp glare.
Xenephon's facial sharpness did not change, remaining flat and cold.
Nazareth let out a rude sigh, "From the very beginning I knew you were some kind of cold-blooded killer," he said in a satirical tone. "But I don't think you're also some kind of heartless machine."
"Either it will be a strength or a weakness," Xenephon quipped. "But I have a feeling you're going to be the trigger for a world war!"
Nazareth was silent.
Xenephon was his right-hand man in the Order of Angelos. But in addition, Xenephon was also a vision expert in the Spiritual Master realm. His predictions rarely missed. Almost never even.
"You can't control two dolls at once without dividing your concentration" Xenephon warned.
Nazareth gulped and gulped. Then bowed with a frown.
"I don't see your feelings as sinful" said Xenephon. "But I suggest you should not be too careful in caring for weeds. He's not as fragile as you think."
Nazareth blinked and turned his head slightly back, looking at Xenephon through the corner of his eyes.
"Night the day people die, the morning grows back!" Xenephon added. "Just don't let him be bullied all the time. You just need to water it after it's torn. He always had a new life after being bullied."
Nazareth finally turned around and looked at Xenephon with sparkling eyes.

The next day…
Nazareth had Evelyn standing under the order's flagpole in the middle of the field, while other students ran around him to warm up.
Master must have punished me for yesterday's mistake, he thought grimly.
The other students stared at Evelyn with scornful expressions.
"Golden Child Lord Vox!"
Sounded giggling.
"The Wild Grass!" A girl sneered while glaring at Evelyn.
Evelyn glanced at him cursoryly and bowed. Both of his hands were folded behind his body.
More than a hundred students warmed up by running around the field.
Two guardians watched them at the top of the stairs in the hall courtyard. They were Master Lotz and the female guardian that Evelyn had met yesterday in that hall.
The female Guardian was named Dea Proka. More familiarly called Lady Die. "I wouldn't complain if it was a child who had the potential Master Claus said" he told Master Lotz.
"He was born at full strength" Master Lotz reminded. "He didn't even have to go through training to get his first chakra. I guess the warm-up was just to buy some time while Master Claus took care of the preparations."
"But what can weeds be?" Lady Die responded with skepticism. "A useless protector is useless!"
"What right do we have to interfere in the affairs of the owner of the academy?" master Lotz.
"I just don't think it out" said Lady Die. "I suspect Lord Vox wants it for personal purposes!"
"If so, why?" The voice of someone behind them jerked the two guardians. "Is there any objection?"
