Chapter 95: Joint-training? A program?
She was the new personal maid assigned to him after the event. He felt that the main reason she was here was to spy on him.
The head-judge must be quite anxious after seeing the clan guardian, so he directly called out to one of his subordinates to keep an eye on him.
‘I cannot sense her rank at all.’
Oliver secretly shook his head. This woman was clearly a strong exorcist but was now role-playing as a maid.
The head-judge truly was meticulous in his preparations.
The woman had long black hair and champagne-colored eyes. She was tall and beautiful, and her expression was professional.
For the week since she had come to serve under him as a personal maid, his chores were directly eliminated. From laundry to cooking to shopping, she did everything before he even had the need to.
He exclaimed when he was going to cook, but the maid stopped him from doing that, stating it was below him as the young master of the clan to do chores like that.
He could not help but snicker at that time. Where was this dignity when he was alone?
The behavior of others has also improved considerably since the demon hunt event’s news spread out.
They no longer ignored him and even treated him with respect. His courtyard, which had earlier been ignored, was now tended to regularly by a team of gardeners and servants.
Not to mention, there were now guards stationed around the area.
‘This feels more like a restriction than a privilege to me.’
He could not help it. After all, he was used to living alone with a lot of freedom.
But there were some advantages to the situation as well since he was able to access the places in the central area which he was previously not allowed entry to.
“Young master, your clothes have been prepared and the bath water has been prepared as per your preferences.”
The maid said in a calm tone. Her name was Sesha.
Sesha Bureh.
Oliver could not help but feel that the surname ‘Bureh’ was familiar to him, but he could not remember where he had heard of it.
‘It was definitely in the novel, but where…?’ He pressed his head as he thought about it, but nothing rang a bell.
It had been years since he read that novel. He had a good memory thanks to being born with the blood of strong exorcists and the espera in the atmosphere making his brain more functional.
But still, he was not able to tell when this name was mentioned.
Since he could not remember it, he had been keeping a distance from her.
He was not sure if the name was associated with demonic forces or exorcists. Nonetheless, she was dangerous, and he was wary of her.
He nodded at her and went inside to bathe.
Today was a somewhat special day.
He was going to meet with children from the other five clans for the first time!
Not only that, he was going to leave the clan for the first time in his life!
He suddenly recalled the brief meeting he had with an elder from the clan after the demon hunt some days ago.

“Say again?”
“You!” The elder’s eyelids twitched fiercely when he heard the boy’s words. He had just explained everything, but this brat was still asking for him to repeat everything again.
He could not help but be frustrated.
“Calm down, elder. It was just an expression,” the boy smiled gleefully, looking at the frustrated elder.
“So basically, to summarize, the five great clans have agreed to familiarize their children with each other and train under a joint program for the ones with potential together due to the looming threat of demons that could start a war at any moment?”
The boy summarized what he heard.
“That’s right,” the elder nodded, “you finally get it.”
“Of course,” the boy smiled. “And among the children selected, my name was also chosen due to the results of the demon hunt?”
The elder paused briefly and explained.
“Out of the clan’s main heirs, you and Miss Nadia have been selected for this… your age and talent match the best with the other candidates selected by the other five clans.”
“It’s a great honor! Be respectful that the higher-ups considered you in the first place!” The elder’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when he saw the ungrateful expression the boy was making.
He almost had the urge to beat him up, but he refrained.
The boy who was sitting opposite the elder stretched his hands and folded them back behind his head as a pondering look appeared on his face.
His silver hair flowed against the wind as he stared at the sky.
“What a coincidence. From all the five pairs of twins, how is it possible that Nadia and I were the ones selected? I don’t think the third brother and sister are much older than us?”
The elder could not endure it and stood up, saying in a loud tone.
“You bastard-! Do you think we deliberately put your name forward! Do you dare believe that I won’t break your legs here right now for doubting the supreme elders!”
The elder, who clearly had a short temper, looked at the lazy boy with anger as he further added,
“After what you did to the third pair of siblings. Do you still believe they are worthy enough to join this program? Those useless brats who couldn’t even handle a single brat with no espera!? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?”
The boy hurriedly corrected his posture and put his hands forward as he said in a calm tone.
“Whoa, elder! Calm down, I never said I doubted the decision of your superiors.”
“I am a proud heir of the Mystic Purge Clan. How can I be so ungrateful, right?” His eyes curved into a smile.
“If you have thought about it, then there must be a reason why I was selected. I will honor the wishes of my esteemed elders and definitely participate and establish dominance in front of the other children from the other clans.”
The elder visibly calmed down as he heard the boy’s words.
It seemed he was the one being more flustered. The elder sighed and looked at the laid-back boy, he still could not understand why he was suddenly selected either.
