Once dinner was over, Mr. Spencer advised Juin to rest earlier tonight because his training would start tomorrow. Since Juin still had some questions, he had stayed behind after he was done with dinner in order to talk to Mr. Spencer. Meanwhile, Luca had went back to his own room with Soren. 

"Even though tomorrow will be simply introductory, based on what I know of Mr. Tucker, he's not one to accept excuses. If you're late, or if you can't do something that he told you to do, he's going to be very disappointed," Mr. Spencer said as he supervised the servants who were cleaning the dining table. 

Hearing him, Juin nodded and stood up. "Oh yeah, Cyrus will be training together with me, right?"

"Yes, of course." 

Sighing in relief, Juin then signaled Cyrus to go back to his own room. While they were walking to their own rooms, Juin thought of something and looked at Cyrus. 

"Hey, Cyrus, you are considered as a shapeshifter, right?"

Cyrus nodded, bobbing his head up and down before yawning loudly, having devoured an entire chicken at dinner and was feeling sleepy now. 

As they slowly walked up the stairs, Juin asked, "Then what's the difference between you, Soren, and those werewolves? You and Soren are considered as 'pets' while those werewolves are considered as supernatural beings, right? And I'm sure a lot of supernatural beings are capable of shapeshifting, right?"

Cyrus thought about it and shrugged. "No idea. But I don't like the idea that I'm your pet, just saying." 

He then looked up at the top banister, and his eyes glazed over. Lucifer was also looking up at the same time.

The only person who was not aware that they had company was Juin. 

"There's no difference…" 

A beautiful, melodic voice that seemed to appear out of nowhere caught Juin out of surprise. Seemingly in a trance, his eyes clouded for a moment as he looked up at the person who just spoke. 

It was then he saw one of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had the most luscious black hair that reached her waist, and even though her facial features reminded Juin of Caucasians, her skin wasn't as pale as a normal Caucasian woman.

Instead, she had a healthy tan on her, as if she had spent her days lounging on the beach. When she smiled with that pair of bloodred lips, it made Juin feel all sorts of weird feelings within, and a d.e.s.i.r.e to obtain her started to bloom in him. 

Dressed in an off-shoulder dark blue c.o.c.ktail dress with sparkling beads and heels that looked as if they could be used as weapons, the woman's h.i.p.s swayed gently as she slowly walked down the stairs, stopping right in front of him. 

As Juin looked at the woman's beautiful, well-rounded c.h.e.s.t, which was right in front of his eyes, he could not help but start having some NSFW thoughts, and the d.e.s.i.r.e to obtain and possess her grew bigger and bigger. 

"Stop drooling!" Lucifer sighed. He wished he could just smack his vessel across the room at the moment. It seemed that not only was Juin's growth accelerated, but also all the d.e.s.i.r.es and feelings that men tended to feel once they hit a certain age. 

"Big Sister, you are very beautiful…" Cyrus said innocently as he looked up with a smile. "But you smell like the ocean…" 

"Ocean?" Lucifer thought, and his eyes widened quickly. "Juin! Wake up!!! JUIN!!!" 

Juin felt a sudden throbbing headache and quickly shook his head, nearly falling down the stairs from the dizziness that came out of nowhere. His sight blurry, he tried to take another look at the woman. 

SPLASH!

Juin found himself drenched in flower-scented water all of a sudden and looked up, only to see a vase that was slowly floating back to its original placement on the ground floor. He then saw Luca standing on the top of the banister with a disgusted expression. 

���Idiot…" Luca sneered as he glared at Juin. Soren, as usual, was standing behind him. 

"Oh, my dear Luca…" the woman said with a sad smile. "You should have let me play for a bit…" 

"Maris, you aren't supposed to be back today," Luca said emotionlessly as he glared at her. "And that wasn't fair of you…"

The woman chuckled and glanced at Juin, who was holding his head with a confused expression, before speaking to Luca again, "I was just curious to see the kid that Presley brought back this time." 

"Are you alright?" Lucifer asked Juin as he glared at the woman. "Be careful of her. Cyrus said she smelled like the ocean, and with the seductive way she moved, I'm sure that she's a Siren…"

"Siren…?" Juin mumbled out loud as he blinked his eyes. From what Lucifer taught him before, Sirens seduced men actively, whereas Mermaids tended to be more subtle and take a more innocent approach. 

And the one in front of him was definitely not the innocent type. 

"Oh, aren't you a smart one?" the woman said with a smirk when she heard him. She tried to reach over and touch his face, but Juin turned his head to the side and avoided her touch. "Now, now… Don't be scared…" 

"What do you want? Who are you?" Juin asked, taking a step further back. 

"Use your soul power and create a thin shield around your body," Lucifer said in the meantime, and Juin immediately did as he was told. Once Juin activated the shield, Lucifer said with a strict tone, "A Siren's ability lay in their beautiful voice, which is said to have the ability to beguil even the toughest and most resolute monks. And humans are the easiest for them to control since you guys don't have a naturally gifted defense that supernatural creatures have. 

"They can attack your mind with their voice and make you lower your guard, so whenever you are in the vicinity of a Siren, be sure to activate your shield." 

Of course, Juin's action did not go unnoticed. The woman chuckled and crossed her arms as she tilted her chin up slightly. 

"Aww, there you go, putting up a defense when all I wanted to do was to play with you…" 

Juin took another step backward, leaving drops of water everywhere, as he asked, "You haven't answered my question." 

"I'm Maris Aegean, also a ward of Presley like you…" The woman, Maris, smiled seductively at Juin. "I heard that the new kid that Presley adopted recently has decided to move in earlier than anticipated, so I decided to take a break from school earlier…" 

"You're… in school?" Juin's eyes widened. That woman looked like she was in her mid-twenties!

"Despite how she looks," Luca volunteered the info, "she's only a year older than us."

He then looked at Maris and said, "Maris, don't you dare do any tricks on him… Or charm him!"

"Aw, come on, baby Luca…" Maris pouted. "How about we split?" 

"No!" Luca snapped before walking away with Soren following closely behind him. 

Juin glanced at Maris, and after a few seconds, he mumbled, "I have to leave now… Bye, Ms. Maris, I'll see you around!" 

He then walked around her before sprinting up the stairs.

"Call me Maris next time!" Maris spoke loudly before waving at Cyrus, who was jogging up the stairs as well. Once they were gone, she grinned wickedly as she muttered to herself, "So, that's the Juin who defeated Luca… Ah, I can't wait to play with him…" 



"That was close!" Juin panted heavily and sighed in relief after he slammed his bedroom door shut and locked it. "Where did she pop out from?!"

And according to Lucifer, there were Sirens in his world, the Nightmare Rift, as well, and these Sirens would dried the bodies of their victims on rocks before turning them into dried snacks. 

Cyrus ran to Juin's bed and lay there as if he owned the bed. "Why are you afraid of the big sister?" 

"You don't know it, but she's bad news for a human like me…" Juin said as he went to the walk-in closet and took a clean towel out. As he dried his wet hair, he mumbled with a sigh, "Now I owe that brat a favor…" 

"Well, it's not as if he's helping you out of the kindness of his heart," Lucifer said, floating in midair with his legs crossed as usual. "He's probably trying to stop you from falling victim to that Siren's control."

"Regardless…" Juin placed the towel aside and said, "He said she's only a year older than us. That's a hint, right? There's an age limit to participations of the Battle. That means that this is her last try, right? If so, she's going to do whatever she can to ensure her place in the Battle." 

His expression turned dark as he continued, "And she's just one of many…"
