First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 277: Walking Dual Path?!

Rina nodded softly, her voice quiet yet steady. "Indeed, Young Master. Lord Eldric has been constantly busy, dealing with matters related to the Insanity Creed and the increasing demon activities. He’s barely had a moment of rest. Lady Selene has hardly returned to the estate; she has been traveling everywhere, searching tirelessly for something to help you recover."

Orion nodded slowly, feeling deep gratitude towards them both. After a brief pause, his eyes suddenly sparkled with curiosity, and he asked, "Where is Fiora, though? I haven’t seen her yet."

Rina’s expression softened into a gentle smile. "She’s training in her room. Actually, I haven’t told her yet about your awakening. If she knew, she’d probably have been here even faster than Lord Eldric."

Orion laughed softly, a chuckle resonating gently through the room. "Let her continue training, then. I’ll see her later. There’s no rush."

His gaze shifted again thoughtfully, his tone growing slightly more concerned. "And what about Seraph? I believe you told her about my condition at the beginning, didn’t you? I fear she might think I abandoned her after so long. Sigh."

Rina suddenly lowered her head, guilt washing clearly across her gentle features. Her voice came out small and hesitant, barely more than a whisper, "We... forgot to tell her."

Orion’s eyes widened sharply, disbelief and concern clearly visible in his expression as he abruptly stood up. "What? Is she still unaware even now? Is she alright?"

Seeing his sudden distress, Rina quickly stood up, her voice urgent yet reassuring, "Please calm down, Master. I told her about you later, and she has been visiting you daily ever since. She’s alright."

Orion slowly exhaled, calming his agitated emotions. He sank back down onto the chair, sighing softly in relief.

Yet confusion and curiosity lingered in his eyes, prompting him to question her further. "Then tell me, how exactly did you forget about her initially? And why did Grandpa and Grandma not remind you either?"

Rina took a deep breath, her voice calm yet regretful as she carefully explained,

"Lord Eldric has been overwhelmed with responsibilities. Other noble houses frequently send representatives seeking advice on demon-related matters, and he’s been completely occupied since you fell unconscious. Lady Selene has rarely returned, focused entirely on finding remedies for your injuries and evolution."

She paused momentarily, carefully gauging Orion’s reaction before continuing quietly, "As for me and Fiora, we... We genuinely forgot about everything else. All of our time was spent either training intensely or taking care of your condition. We were both so consumed by worry and urgency that it simply slipped our minds. We never intended to neglect Seraph."

Orion heaved a long, thoughtful sigh, his expression softening gradually with understanding and acceptance. He shook his head slightly, voice quiet yet without blame, "Sigh, you all really forgot about her even though she’s living under the same roof. But... given the circumstances, I understand. You were all busy because of me."

Rina looked down, clearly remorseful yet comforted by his understanding. "We truly regret it, Young Master. We will make it up to her."

Orion smiled gently, nodding in agreement. "I’ll speak with her personally soon. She deserves to know that she was never forgotten in my heart."

A gentle silence settled comfortably between them, each quietly contemplating the situation.

After a while, Orion smiled warmly once more, lifting the mood gently with casual conversation. "Tell me more about your training. How strong have you become in these past months?"

Rina’s eyes brightened slightly as Orion shifted the topic toward her training, her earlier embarrassment giving way to a gentle pride. Her fingers subconsciously curled around the fabric of her skirt, a subtle excitement evident in her posture.

"Actually," she began softly, meeting Orion’s curious gaze with a shy but confident smile, "for some reason, ever since that incident, my talent in Spirit Arts has increased dramatically. I’ve broken through all the way to the Sixth Level of the Awakening Realm, and... and... an—"

Seeing her sudden hesitation, Orion gently interjected, his voice understanding and warm. "If it’s difficult for you to tell me right now, you can share it later when you’re more comfortable."

Rina quickly shook her head, determination sparking in her gentle eyes. "It’s not like that, Young Master," she quickly clarified, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "I-I ignited my Life Fire."

Orion’s eyes widened in genuine astonishment, his mouth slightly agape from shock. "You started walking two paths?"

Rina nodded shyly, her gaze downcast yet filled with quiet pride at the clear astonishment reflected in Orion’s eyes. She had anticipated his surprise, yet seeing it firsthand brought a deep sense of accomplishment and happiness within her.

Meanwhile, Orion’s thoughts raced internally, struggling to grasp how Rina had achieved something so extraordinary.

Even among the academy’s top geniuses, walking dual paths—especially igniting their Life Fire—was nearly unheard of in their current generation.

’How did she manage something like this?’ he wondered silently, deeply intrigued by the unexpected revelation.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, Asteraxa’s gentle, amused voice echoed softly, offering subtle insight into his confusion.

[Your providence and fate might be influencing those close to you, Orion. Whether that’s a blessing or curse, only the future will reveal.]

Orion inwardly nodded, accepting her words. Indeed, if this was an effect of his providence, it was undoubtedly a fortunate one.

He turned his full attention back to Rina, a warm, genuine smile appearing on his face as he spoke. "Now that’s my Rina. This is a great milestone—something even the greatest geniuses in our kingdom struggle to achieve."

Rina’s heart warmed deeply at his sincere praise, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush of joy as she nodded earnestly. "Thank you, Young Master."

They continued chatting warmly for a while, their conversation flowing naturally, until Orion’s expression grew thoughtful again. With gentle curiosity, he asked, "Did Fiora also begin her Soul Path? I remember she had quite impressive talent with Spirit Arts."

Rina shook her head lightly, explaining with a soft voice, "No, actually Fiora chose to abandon her Spirit Arts. For some reason, she suddenly felt an urge to try Body Refinement, and we all quickly discovered that her talent in it had significantly improved."

"Lord Eldric and Lady Selene speculated that it might be linked to her reawakening as a Draconian. Since then, she’s been diligently cultivating both Body Refinement and Mana cultivation paths."

Orion’s eyes filled with warmth, clearly pleased by this news. "That’s wonderful," he said softly, his smile deepening with satisfaction. "Now you both can wholeheartedly pursue your cultivation without worries."

Rina smiled warmly, her earlier nervousness fully dissipating under Orion’s encouragement. Her confidence steadily returned, emboldened by their comfortable conversation. With a playful glint in her eyes, she lightly teased, "Hehe, perhaps now we won’t have to constantly worry about being unable to keep up with you."

Orion chuckled gently, nodding with a playful smile. "Now, I’ll personally oversee your training sessions. If either of you dare slack off, I’ll make sure you regret it. Since you both possess such rare talents, it’s essential you fully utilize them."

Rina giggled softly, a cheerful sound filling the gentle silence of the room. "Hehe, then I’ll be counting on Young Master to guide me thoroughly."

They continued chatting casually, sharing lighthearted laughter and playful exchanges, savoring the comfortable warmth that had returned to their interactions after months of silence and worry.

Eventually, Orion stood up slowly from his seat, his expression growing more serious and concerned. His thoughts returned once again to Seraph, whose condition had been quietly nagging at him ever since he’d awakened.

"Rina," Orion said softly, glancing toward the door with clear worry etched into his gentle expression, "I think it’s time I visited Seraph. I’m most worried about her state."
