I Can Copy Curses

Orion walked back alone into the hall and sat in his seat, which was between Erza and Tracy.

"Where is Mark?" Victor asked.

Orion smiled and replied, "He's in the hall, pondering something. He seems to have a lot on his mind."

Victor frowned but nodded eventually. He had noticed that Mark had become more reserved and quiet since the last incident, which was unlike his usual arrogant self.

He didn't know what had caused the unexpected change in Mark, but he had a feeling it had something to do with Ray Wiser.

He was sure of it.

Orion looked around but didn't see Henry anywhere. "Where did he go?" he asked, looking at Erza and Tracy.

"They took him to heal," Erza said solemnly, looking at Orion. "Also, the president warned us not to fight among ourselves; otherwise, he'll disqualify us."

Orion nodded. He understood that what happened with Henry was a bit extreme, but he didn't care one bit.

As long as he wasn't disqualified, he was fine.

"Big Brother, forgive me for what happened with me all this time," Tracy said quietly, lowering her head.

Orion sighed. 'Damn, here it comes,' he thought.

"Don't worry. Forget about what happened. Forget everything," Orion said, trying to calm her down.

Tracy nodded and began asking him many questions—how he became a hunter, how his talent became so strong, and more.

Orion explained everything to her the same way he had explained it to Erza a few days ago.

Tracy was shocked such things had happened to him and asked even more questions. Orion replied helplessly, trying not to sound suspicious.

Time passed like that.

Some time later, Mark returned and quietly sat in his seat.

Victor observed him and noticed he seemed calm. 'What happened between the two?' he wondered.

Soon, time passed as everyone talked and laughed while Orion became busy with Tracy. She kept asking him questions about his health, mental state, and more.

However, Orion was powerless here. He answered each of her questions slowly, careful not to raise any suspicion.

And so, they occupied themselves as time passed.

Half a day later, the void shuttle carrying Orion and his team appeared in space above a planet surrounded by masses of asteroids.

It was a blue and green planet, surrounded by three rings of asteroid belts revolving around it.

The planet was called Loxus, the headquarters of the Federation Council and the Hunter Association.

The Hunter Association was the strongest power in the Human Federation Realm, but it was the Federation Council that actually ruled the entire domain.

At this moment, in the void above Loxus, hundreds of void shuttles could be seen approaching the planet.

Each shuttle appeared somewhat different, yet their basic structure was the same.

The void shuttle carrying Orion's team entered the planet's atmosphere and passed through, revealing a majestic landscape.

Green grass stretched all around, with skyscrapers towering into the clouds, gathered in clusters around the green areas of the planet.

The void shuttle landed in one of the huge parking areas. There were five such areas, each for a different region.

The Human Federation Realm was divided into five smaller regions, also known as districts: Solara, Nebora, Vortel, Galtris, and Astron.

Each district contained a large number of planets, and Planet Nio, where Orion came from, was located in the Nebora district.

The parking stations on Loxus were designed for each district. Instead of having stations for each individual planet, they had an area for each district.

Disembarking from the shuttle, Orion and the others found themselves in a spacious area where many other void shuttles were landing. They saw numerous young men about their age disembarking from their own shuttles.

"Everyone from the Nebora district, welcome to Loxus. The final assessment will start tomorrow, so follow me to a place where you can stay until then," an old man wearing a suit welcomed them.

He led the young men, along with the presidents of the various Hunter Associations from different planets and branches, to a small city.

It was within walking distance from the parking lot.

It was one of the most high-tech cities Orion had ever seen in the three domains; in fact, it might be the most high-tech city he had ever seen.

'It feels like a sci-fi movie, but it's real,' Orion thought as he marveled at the technology.

"Everyone from Planet Nio, this is your building. Someone inside will take you to your rooms," the old man in the suit said before leaving with the rest of the young men.

"Well, this is our stop," Billy said, looking at the huge structure in front of them. It was composed of ten floors and shaped like a hexagonal box, made using cutting-edge technology.

"Billy, have you found out who they were?" a middle-aged man asked. He had red hair and a stern face. He was leading the geniuses from Starlight City, one of the five cities on Planet Nio.

Billy frowned slightly and said, "The five of us will talk when we go to report. For now, let's head inside."

The presidents of each city nodded in understanding.

Orion observed them and realized they were discussing the killers from last night.

"Let's go," Billy said, leading them inside the building, where a lady was waiting for them.

"I'm the head servant assigned to this building. You can all call me Amy," she said with a smile, introducing herself. She wore a long skirt and top, her hair tied into a ponytail. She seemed to be around twenty years old, just like Orion and the others.

"Follow me. I'll show you to your floors," Amy said as she led them through the hall.

"This building has ten floors, and each city has one floor to itself," she explained.

She continued, "The other five floors include a dining hall, training hall, Vision Hall, and other facilities you might need."

As she explained, they arrived at the first floor.

"The first floor is reserved for Masturi City," Amy said. "There are only ten doors on this floor, each leading to a room for one of the young men from Masturi City. There's a call option in your room, so if you need anything or have questions, you can call, and a servant will come to assist you."

She added, "The Federation Council ordered that you all get familiar with the Vision Hall, so I'll come by in the evening to take you there. Be ready."
