I Can Copy Curses

"Miss Luna, what are you talking about?" Elijah shouted as he approached her. He moved forward toward Orion, but Josh held his hand and shook his head. Elijah frowned, taking a moment to think before he sighed. 'Don't mess it up, Ray,' he thought desperately.

"Now, I am also curious," Rosaline said, looking at Orion. "What were you doing here? Any normal cadets wouldn't come to a place like this unless they were inclined to, so what's your reason?"

Mark's face also tensed as he hoped Orion would have a very good excuse for being there.

"Spit it out quick. We don't have much time," Luna shouted at Orion.

Orion sighed. "I didn't want anyone to find out about this, but I think I'm just unlucky."

"What?" Luna asked impatiently.

"Come with me." Orion led them to an area where more broken buildings lay in ruins, wreckage all around.

"There is nothing here." Luna smiled, as if she had caught something.

Elijah and Mark were sweating for Orion at that moment. They couldn't think of why Orion had brought them here.

"Nah, there is everything I need," Orion smirked at Luna before he activated the Curse of the Stormcaller in Curse Transformation mode.

Almost instantly, the wind began to rage around him, slowly forming a small tornado with the wreckage, building parts, and ruins. As time passed, the tornado began to expand gradually, its size increasing.

Only moments later, a large tornado could be seen in the junkyard behind the academy. The tornado appeared to carry building parts, wreckage, dirt, and more, giving it a grey and brownish color.

Orion then turned to Rosaline and Luna. "I was just practicing with my talent here, trying to control this tornado I created when I actually came to find them," he said, smiling as he flicked his hand, causing the tornado to slowly die down.

Rosaline and Luna were both surprised by the tornado. They hadn't expected the situation to be like this, while Mark, Elijah, and Josh were shocked. The tornado Orion had created was very large, and they were astonished that he could control something of that size.

"What's your talent?" Rosaline asked with interest.

"My talent is called Stormcaller; it allows me to manipulate wind," Orion replied.

Rosaline nodded. "So you were training here because you couldn't practice this tornado technique elsewhere, and this place was perfect for that."

Orion nodded lightly.

"Alright, I also believe you," Luna said, but she still looked at Orion suspiciously.

Orion shrugged, knowing how stubborn she could be.

"I heard it was you who helped last night," Rosaline said, nodding lightly. "You did a good job both times."

Orion smiled and asked, "If war happens, what are our chances against the three races and the Zenithans?"

Rosaline frowned, and Luna's face darkened as they heard him.

"Our chances... Honestly, I don't know," Rosaline sighed. "Our best chance is to prevent the war from happening," she said solemnly.

Orion nodded lightly. He wanted the same thing—or did he?

"Alright, you two can go now," Rosaline said before warning them. "But don't tell anyone about this war. Keep it between you two."

Orion and Mark nodded lightly before they flew away and vanished.

"This situation is such a mess," Rosaline sighed, feeling grim about what would happen in the future.

"Aunt Rose, there is only one plane in the entire Limitless Void that we are standing on right now and no other planets, so how could the Zenithans come and go as they wish from the Limitless Void?" Luna asked suspiciously. "Unless there is a traitor among the higher ranks of the three powers: the Archons, Hunter Association, and Martial Will."

"There are bound to be traitors now that we've discovered demons can live within a human body. Who knows how long a demon has been occupying one of our bodies?" Rosaline said with an ugly expression. "But what I'm more worried about is the war," she sighed.

"It seems the Ten Seats Conference we were about to hold wouldn't be entirely because of that kid and his clone out there, but also about this war now. We have to make it quick, unlike what we've been doing until now."

"Ten Seats Conference..." Elijah and Josh looked at each other, knowing how significant this occasion would be. They hadn't had the chance to attend the conference before, but they would do anything to attend this time.

"That reminds me," Rosaline muttered to herself as she turned to Elijah and Josh. "Orion Darkwood is here in the Limitless Void, attending your academy."

Both Elijah and Josh were shocked to hear this news. They had known everything about Orion—the entire world knew about him—but unlike the outside world, they had some exclusive information about the 'truth' of what had happened at the banquet of the Magus Kingdom.

Therefore, knowing all of that and understanding Orion's situation, they couldn't help but be stunned that he would still dare to come to the Limitless Void, where potentially everyone could be his enemy.

"We don't know what he is here for, nor do we know about his goals, but know that this kid isn't just a kid. Don't take him lightly; he won't bat an eye at killing thousands, if not more. And then there is also his clone from the Null Void. If you see his clone, just run as fast as you can. You can't kill him. His strength is on the same level as us Ten Seats right now," Rosaline said solemnly.

"Miss Rosaline, I have studied the Null Void and know how it works, so it's impossible for a clone in there to have a conscience of its own, much less leave that place. How did Orion's clone leave the Null Void?" Josh asked curiously.

When he heard what had happened with Orion Darkwood, the most shocking thing he learned was about his clone coming out of the Null Void. It shocked him to the core because it was entirely against what they had been taught in the academy.

"Don't think too much about it," Rosaline said lightly. "Orion Darkwood is an anomaly who can use any powers in the world if he is given time to understand those powers. His talent is unmatched in the entire Montreux Universe since its creation, so if you think about it that way, the situation regarding his clone shouldn't surprise you."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Josh nodded. He had studied Orion Darkwood too, and it included his talent, so he knew everything about him. Because he knew all of that, he was obsessed with him.

"Aunt Rose, you talk like you are praising him," Luna said, gritting her teeth. "He killed me last time, and my father died by his hand, so stop praising him. He is nothing more than a wanted animal running around trying to save his life. That's all."

Rosaline sighed and approached Luna, patting her head. "Don't worry too much. We will catch him," she said before turning to Josh and Elijah. "Josh, Elijah, you two are the most trustworthy and qualified among the five alliance leaders, so I want you two to investigate Orion Darkwood in the academy. He could be any new kid there, and I want you to find him and capture him."

She added with a smile, "One more thing: Luna will be leading you in this investigation."
