Chapter 64: SPECIAL MALE’S CABIN

VIVIAN

For one second, Vivian’s heart skipped.

Is he going to talk to me?

She unconsciously straightened her clothes and lifted her chin.

Maybe he had noticed her.

Maybe after seeing her survive the Zerg attack, he wanted to ask who she was.

Maybe.....

Sentinel Vega bent down and fixed his shoes. She arranged her hair nicely and smiled sweetly showing her beautiful fangs.

After he was done...he stood up and walked past her.

Just like that!! She screamed inwardly.

He didn’t stop. He didn’t glance at her.

He simply walked straight past Vivian as though she were another piece of broken furniture on the ship.

Vivian stood frozen. Her smile disappeared.

Her eyes followed him as he walked away.

"...What?"

She slowly turned her head. "Then what was that? Why did he stop in the first place? Just to fix his shoes?"

She had genuinely thought he was coming toward her.

I thought he wanted to talk to me!!!

Inside her consciousness, Beeny was already shaking.

Then..."Pfffft!"

Beeny covered her mouth.

Her shoulders trembled. "Master..."

Vivian’s eyes narrowed. "Don’t."

Beeny tried to hold it in. She failed.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Her laughter echoed through Vivian’s consciousness."You..... you really thought he liked you!"

Vivian’s face turned red. "I never said that!"

"You were staring at him!"

"I was admiring his strength!"

"With love!"

"Beeny!"

Beeny wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Pretty sister, that is a Royal Dragon. A rare SSSS-Class male!"

She pointed dramatically in the direction Vega had gone.

"Do you know how many pretty females he has seen? Which beautiful female hasn’t tried to get his attention?"

Vivian’s lips twitched. She glanced at the female students around her.

Beeny had a point.

Several female recruits were already staring at Vega as though they had forgotten the ship was falling apart moments ago.

One female student pressed both hands against her cheeks. "Why is he so hot?"

Another clutched her chest. "I could feel his hotness when he passed me."

A third female had stars practically shining in her eyes. "He’s what I call a celestial beast."

She clasped her hands together.

"I want to have baby dragons with him!"

The other one said. "I want to have baby monkeys for him."

"Me too!"

"No, I saw him first!"

"You were standing behind me!"

"That doesn’t mean anything!"

Two girls began arguing. One grabbed the other’s shoulder.

The other pushed her away.

"Let go!"

"You let go!"

"You’re dreaming if you think a male like Sentinel Vega would look at you!"

"At least I’m not screaming like you!"

The chaos quickly spread.

Vivian stared at them.

Are they really fighting over a man they haven’t even spoken to?

She couldn’t help laughing.

Then her gaze returned to Vega.

He was already walking farther away.

His long, light-green hair fell over his shoulders, with several strands reaching down his back.

It had been cut beautifully, layered perfectly so that every movement made it sway naturally.

Vivian watched him disappear among the soldiers.

Her eyes followed him until she could barely see him anymore.

Beeny sighed. "Stop watching."

Vivian blinked.

"He’s gone."

"I know."

"Then why are you still looking?"

Vivian slowly turned around.

Beeny placed both hands on her tiny waist. "Why are you embarrassing yourself? Are you a monkey? You are Fox Vivian!! Male must gravel around you, not you!!"

Vivian’s cheeks warmed. "Really?"

Beeny shook her head. "With this behavior, I can’t tell anyone you’re my Master."

Vivian rolled her eyes. "You’re impossible."

Before Beeny could answer...

Smack! Something hit Vivian on the back.

She turned around immediately.

Her expression softened when she saw who it was.

"Ariel."

Ariel was standing behind her with a huge smile. "I knew it was you!"

Vivian smiled back.

Ariel suddenly threw her arms around Vivian.

Vivian immediately shifted backward but Ariel pulled her back.

Her face became awkward. She wasn’t used to Ariel’s sudden hugs.

Ariel whispered to her ears. "I saw what you did?"

Vivian was like. "What did I do?"

Ariel’s eyes sparkled. "I saw you kick that female recruit!"

Vivian’s smile disappeared. Her hands slowly clenched beside her body.

For some reason, her heart tightened.

She saw me!! Vivian lowered her eyes.

Maybe Ariel would think she was cruel.

Maybe she would think Vivian was no different from the villainess everyone hated. She gulped down saliva.

But then Ariel burst out laughing. "I am so happy I saw that!"

Vivian looked up surprised..

Ariel folded her arms. "Most of those girls are so snobbish. I hate that particular girl."

"Really?"

"She’s in our Healer Department."

Ariel rolled her eyes. "She tries to make me look bad every chance she gets. She acts so innocent, but she’s actually a schemer."

Vivian listened quietly.

"One time, she destroyed some of our medical equipment."

Ariel’s face twisted with annoyance. "Then she pointed at me crying and said, ’Sister Ariel, I didn’t want to point at you, but I don’t want everyone to be punished for something only you did. I’m sorry, Ariel. Please forgive me.’"

Vivian’s mouth fell open. She said inwardly. "What? Do they have such people here?"

Ariel nodded furiously. "Everyone believed her!"

She placed both hands on her hips.. "She always acts like this innocent little junior sister. Everyone thinks she’s sweet and harmless."

Ariel shook her head. "I really hate her."

Vivian said. That’s why she had that pitiful look that almost fooled me.

Vivian’s heart finally relaxed.

She had been so afraid Ariel would see her as a bad person.

Instead, Ariel had practically given her permission to hate the girl.

Vivian smiled. "In my hometown, do you know what we call girls like that?"

Ariel tilted her head. "What?"

Vivian grinned. "White lotus." She burst into laughter.

Ariel scratched her head. "What’s that? Isn’t a white lotus a beautiful flower?"

Vivian’s laughter stopped.

She stared at Ariel.

"...You really don’t think it’s funny?"

Ariel shook her head.

Vivian sighed. "Then we also call them green tea."

"Oh." Ariel nodded thoughtfully. "Green tea..."

She suddenly smiled. "I like that name. Green tea smells nice."

Vivian laughed awkwardly. "smells nice...indeed."

At that moment....

"VIVIAN!"

A loud voice thundered across the ship.

Vivian’s shoulders stiffened. She slowly turned around.

Instructor Vincent was storming toward her.

"Instructor Vincent..."

"I’ve been looking all over for you!"

Vincent stopped in front of her. "When the chaos started, I thought you had died!"

Vivian blinked. "Really?"

"Everyone was looking for their teammates!"

Vincent grabbed her ear.

"Ouch!" She was in pain.

"Where should you be?"

Vivian winced. "With my team!"

"Then why are you here?"

"I almost died right now! You shouldn’t treat me this way."

Vincent’s eyebrow twitched. "That doesn’t answer my question."

He pulled her ear slightly harder. "Are your team members here?"

"I don’t know!"

"You don’t know?"

Vivian looked away. "I was busy looking for them..."

Vincent released her ear. "If you don’t start taking your responsibilities seriously, I will send you out of my team."

Vivian rubbed her ear.

This man really enjoys torturing me.

Vincent pointed toward several injured students.

"Come."

Vivian followed him.

They reached a group of students who had survived the Zerg attack.

Some were unconscious. They seemed to be her team members. The individual soldiers team.

Others were covered in the spider’s disgusting digestive fluid. Some students unharmed were the Mecha team students. They were in their Mecha. Vivian grinned with envy. "If only I had that too."

Vincent looked at Vivian. She was staring at the Mecha students.

"What are you doing Miss Valen?"

"Nothing."

He said. "So you’re strong now, right?"

Vivian nodded cautiously. "Yes?"

"Good."

He pointed at the wounded. "Carry them."

Vivian’s mouth dropped open. "Why?"

Vincent stared at her. "You are an F-Rank Miscellaneous Soldier."

"...And?"

"Don’t you know what your job is?"

Vivian blinked. Vincent sighed. "You arrange things after your senior soldiers finish fighting. You carry wounded soldiers and recruits into the cabin for treatment. You assist wherever you’re needed."

He shook his head. "It seems you don’t even know what a Miscellaneous Soldier is."

Vivian’s eyes widened. "Wait."

She pointed at herself. "You mean I’m not a proper fighting soldier?"

Vincent walked away. "When you’re done, call me."

Vivian stood there in disbelief.

Her fists clenched.

This old fool!! One day, I will beat him until he becomes a completely different person.

Inside her consciousness, Beeny raised her hand.

"Master."

"What?"

"How about I take over his body?"

Vivian stared blankly.

Beeny continued innocently. "Then I’ll change your rank to SSSS-Class."

Vivian imagined it for half a second.

Then she shook her head. "After you do that, we’ll get arrested and spend the rest of our lives in prison."

Beeny sighed. "If you don’t like my suggestion, just say so."

Vivian rolled her eyes.

She walked toward the nearest injured student.

"Fine."

She bent down and lifted him onto her shoulder.

The nearby female students stared.

Then their cheeks slowly turned red.

"Wow..."

"She’s strong."

"She carried him like that?"

"I want to be her friend."

Vivian ignored them. Most of these girls are delusional, they CAN’T be treated.

She carried one student after another into the treatment cabin.

After thirty minutes, she had moved every injured student.

She stood outside the cabin. There was something strange.

Vivian looked down at herself.

She wasn’t sweating. She wasn’t breathing heavily.

Her muscles didn’t even ache.

She had just carried injured students for thirty minutes after almost dying from a 4S Zerg Beast.

Yet she felt perfectly fine.

Vivian’s eyes narrowed.

The Lotus’s power has increased.

She touched her chest.

The energy inside her body felt much denser than before.

The Lotus had consumed the giant beast’s energy.

And some of that power had clearly begun circulating through her body.

Before she could think about it further...

"Vivian."

Vincent had returned.

Vivian looked at him suspiciously. "What now?"

"I have something for you to do."

He handed her a large bag. Vivian stared at it.

"What’s inside?"

"Just carry it."

She sighed.

Of course his only mission is to torment her.. She took the bag and followed him.

They walked through several sections of the damaged transport ship.

Eventually, they reached a cabin located high above the main deck.

Unlike the other areas, this section was heavily guarded.

Several soldiers stood outside the entrance.

Vincent pulled out an ID token.

The soldiers scanned it.

BEEP.

The door opened. Vivian stepped inside.

The temperature immediately dropped.

Cold air brushed against her skin.

She wrapped her arms around herself. "Why is it so cold here?"

Vincent didn’t answer. He walked deeper into the cabin.

Vivian followed. Then she stopped.

Someone was lying on a long couch.

His back was facing them.

His body was almost completely covered by a dark cloak.

But his hair....Vivian’s eyes widened.

It was incredibly long. It spilled over the edge of the couch and spread across the floor like a dark river.

The room became even colder. The man didn’t turn around.

He simply spoke. His deep voice filled the silent cabin. "What do you want?"
