I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 161: 161. A Depressed Dinner

Orion smiled secretly, knowing these two guy's problems were non-existent as long as he was here.

But he knew if he were to tell them that he would win tomorrow, then no one would probably believe him so he didn't bother telling them; they would know that eventually.

"You guys are forgetting something."

At that moment, Lucy looked at Ford and Dustin.

"Have you forgotten that the one who will win tomorrow will also need to complete a mission? If one fails that mission, then their title of leader would be stripped away and would be given to others."

Orion frowned. This was his first time hearing a mission was required to be completed before being fully accepted as a leader and the failure was the instant transfer of leadership to some other individual.

"What type of mission?" he asked.

Lucy shook her head at him.

"Nobody knows. This rule is the first time it has been implemented in our time. So nobody really knows what type of mission one would get."

Orion nodded and thought that even if a mission were to be given to test the individual, it shouldn't be that difficult that it couldn't be completed but it could be tricky depending on the situation.

"Orion, will you be joining the Dollas Academy?"

Dustin asked Orion this time. He thought that since Orion was the youngest son of their master, he should join that academy as well. Though he wasn't sure about that,.

"What academy?" Orion was completely oblivious to what academy they were talking about. As far as he knew, there were many academies in the Magus Kingdom but they were all too weak for him and the academy name Dustin said was a new word to Orion.

"You don't know?" Dustin asked, surprised that Orion didn't know of Dollas Academy.

Lucy lightly slapped Dustin on the forehead.

"Fool, he had just arrived at home yesterday so how could he know everything about what had happened in the world if someone wouldn't tell him? He isn't like us, who had already passed the test two-three months ago."

"Ah, right." Dustin nodded embarrassingly.

"So what is this academy thing all about?" Orion asked.

Lucy thought for a moment before explaining it to Orion.

"Because the peace treaty signed between the four races is coming to an end in five years, the powerhouses of the three domains have decided to establish an academy called Dollas Academy where students from all three domains could learn there."

Orion was also like them, seated in the middle and eating quietly.

When he came to eat earlier, he had imagined a warm dinner with his mother, sister, and friends. However, he didn't anticipate the arrival of three other individuals, who changed the entire atmosphere of the dinner.

They were his father, brother, and sister.

It wasn't that they said anything about not talking while eating, but the aura they emitted suggested they preferred to eat in peace.

Suggested in their case, speculated by them.

Orion didn't know why the three of them had decided to eat at home today.

His father, as far as he could remember, always liked to eat alone with his mother when everyone fell asleep.

His brother rarely ate at home and that only left his sister, who ate with them frequently over time.

But as he looked at their serious faces while they ate, Orion couldn't help but laugh secretly, wondering if this was how they usually ate their meals.

However, he noticed one thing during this time and that was about his big sister.

He could feel that she seemed to be looking at him every now and then, frequently, as she ate her meals.

Also, for some reason, he felt that his sister had changed greatly. She was a very cheerful and optimistic person when he left home five years ago but the one in front of him felt like a completely different person.

He didn't know what happened to her but he decided to ask her tomorrow after the assessment.

"I am full. I will take my leave."

His father finished eating and left the room.

"I am finished too."

A moment later, his brother finished too and like his father, he too left the room.

However, just when Orion thought his sister would follow in their footsteps, she asked him a question.

"Orion, how did you awaken your talent?"

Except for Famir and Ryfin, who thought he had awakened his talent due to transmigration, and Ron, who looked confused about the whole thing, his mother and Ella looked at him with interest.

Orion sighed, seeing their curious faces. He had anticipated being asked such questions when he awakened his memories, so he had already prepared a reason for that.
