When Lemira saw the message, she couldn't hide her surprise.

[Wait, you're his younger brother?] Matthew struggled to his feet, his fingers trembling as he typed: [Yeah, I'm the adorable, obedient, and extremely talented little brother. Since when did he take on a protege? How cI didn't know about it?] Could it be that the Langston girl was really Orion's protege? Testing the waters, Matthew asked: [Are you Lemira?] [It's me. He mentioned me?] Lemira was taken aback that Orion's brother knew of her! Matthew was shocked to his core, dropping a string of "Holy cows!" Shaking, he called Orion, who picked up immediately, his tone cool, "What's up?" Orion was sitting in front of his computer in the study, pinching the bridge of his nose as he exited a program. "Orion, not cool. Sneaking around taking Lemira as your protege. She pulled off a twelve-hit combo you never taught me! Am I even your real brother? I must be adopted!" Orion straightened up, "How do you know about it?" "I just logged into your account. She was looking for you, and I tricked her into spilling the beans." Only then did Orion notice Lemira's recent message.

His tone was cold, "Log off now!" "You haven't answered why you would teach Lemira the twelve-hit combo and not me? You didn't know she's my competition?" "She figured it out herself. Count to three and log off!" Orion's tone grew stern.

After memorizing Lemira's username, Matthew logged off reluctantly.

"Orion, you're so into it. Is she your new girlfriend? I support you rebelling against an arranged marriage for love!" "Shut it. What did you tell her?" "N-Nothing much, just that I'm your brother." Orion hung up directly. He logged back into the gand indeed saw Lemira online.

For a moment, he felt a bit panicked. He had almost thought Lemira knew his true identity.

Orion watched Lemira online, hesitating to make a move.

Lemira found it odd too - the account suddenly logged off, then back on, but with no further action.

Could it have been hacked? Who would bother hacking a minor account? Lemira texted Orion. [Orion, someone logged into your gaming account. Were you hacked?] Seeing her message, he finally invited Lemira to join his team.

"It was someone else who logged in." "Your brother, he toldhimself. I thought your account got hacked." Orion's tone was calm, "No hack. Just ignore him." Lemira didn't probe further. While on a quest, she they Sai Wer Reapers' captain invitedto join his teent Orion frowned, "When?" Was Matthew looking for trouble? "Just now. I saw the captain publicly challenging Alaric. Guess he wanted to rile up him, quite unexpected." Orion checked the gnews and indeed the highlighted post. His seriously." "Of course, I didn't. The Reapers are formidable, sure to join the national team someday." "You're not any less!" Orion's words slipped out before he could stop them.

Lemira's eyes widened as he awkwardly turned away, "With me! Beschaways around, you'lNbe the strongest one day." His tone carried a hint of pride.

Lemira smiled, "I hope to join the national team too if it' & n toolit possible, to e make our country proud." She didn't have the chance in her previous life, as Evelina had taken her spot.

Orion's tone was even, "Easy, we'll talk after your exams." After completing the quest, Lemira logged off.

Orion immediately called Matthew who answered right away, "Orion you finally called! I've been dying here What's the deal with your protege?" "First: Don't talk about this with anyone, especially our family." Matthew straightened up, "Got it. I'd never betray you." "Second: Lemira doesn't know who I am yet. We can't blow my cover."
