Juin's eyes widened upon hearing that. He then tried his best to recall what he could remember about the boy. "Based on his clothes… and the fact that he appeared here, and in the garden the last time… Could it be that the boy's King… Tomas?" 

Lucifer nodded. "The scent of death is strong here, which is not surprising… And for someone like you, ghosts and spirits will generally attracted to you. But even so, I'm surprised that the kid's ghost would show up here. I thought that he died in another place. This place must have meant a lot to him before he died."

"Just now…" Juin frowned as he looked at Lucifer. "Just now, I heard a few other voices… 'I just want her to keep living'. The little boy said the same thing… Do you think?"

"They are probably the ghosts of those who cared about her…" Lucifer said, stretching his back nonchalantly. The ghost of Tomas probably really wanted Juin to warn Cecile. Otherwise, he would not have dared to appear before Lucifer. 

Only those who had strong d.e.s.i.r.e could appear in the eyes of those with special souls like Juin. The aim of these ghosts was most likely Juin's body, but with Lucifer around, most of them did not even dare to make an appearance. Even the dead knew to avoid strong ones. 

For the weak ghost kid to make an appearance, he must have felt at a loss.

"But I can't help…" Juin mumbled to himself, shaking the thought out of his head. At most, he could only tell Cecile about what her ghost brother said. Suddenly, he looked up at Lucifer, who was floating on his back, and asked, "Why can I see some ghosts and not others?" 

"It depends on whether they want to show themselves to you… Not every ghost is interested in your lousy human body."

Juin sighed and looked at the battle stage quietly. 



Two hours later, the battle arena was almost filled to the brim with people again. 

Tucker and Cyrus had joined Juin, and they were looking at the arrangement list that Cyrus was holding. 

"Nice! We are going against Saville!" Cyrus said with a grin. "I'm going to beat that guy up! You don't even have to move!" 

Juin rolled his eyes. "He's not like the others, Cyrus… Anyway…" He looked at the rest of the list and said, "Caelian will be going up against Luca, and Augustine against Wolfe?" 

"The brothers are going up against each other?" Tucker laughed. "It's easy to see who will win."

"Who?" Cyrus asked innocently. 

"Wolfe, of course. Augustine would never attack his younger brother. Seriously, that guy has some brother issue," Tucker smirked as he shook his head. "So, Luca against Caelian, huh? That would be interesting. The emerging dark horse against the Child Blessed by the Wind God." 

"Child Blessed by the Wind God?" Juin asked. "That's the first I have heard of this." 

"He has a few titles, and we don't really call him by that since it's a mouthful, but generally, everyone knows about it…" Tucker said. "Let's hope that you can see why we call him that. But for now, you should know that Presley wouldn't be so kind to an orphaned kid just because the said orphaned kid was an Elementalist. He would just pass the kid to someone else to raise. If he chose to raise the kid in his own house, it meant that there's something special about the kid. And that's the case with Luca."

Juin thought for a moment. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Luca's parents…" 

"Died in an accident," Tucker said before Juin could finish his words. He thought for a while before saying with a sigh, "He was born in a family with not even a supernatural relative. There was no one who could foresee it even though there were signs."

"Signs?"

"His parents' house was always cooled to just the comfortable temperature, even when outside was sweltering hot. Wherever he was at, there would be wind, even whe it had been windless a moment ago. And whenever he cried, the wind would blow harder, as if the God of Wind was crying with him…" Tucker said, relaying to Juin what he heard from Lann before. 

"Unfortunately for him, despite having such great affinity with wind, there was no one near him who knew about it. When his power fully manifested one night while he was sleeping… the 'accident' happened." 

Juin frowned slightly. Because Tucker made the "air quote" sign when he said accident. 

"You don't think that it's an accident…" 

Tucker glanced at his student, and after a while, he chuckled and shrugged. "Who knows… Accident or not, he lost his parents that night. And he was then found and adopted by Presley a week later… Since then, I heard that he has been actively looking for demons."

"Why?" 

"There are rumors of an existence of some demons who are capable of bringing back the dead…"

"Wait, no!" Juin gasped in disbelief. "Serious? Do they really exist?" 

Tucker shrugged. "It's a rumor, so who knows… I have never seen one, and I doubt Presley has ever seen one either, and there's absolutely no proper record in the supernatural history books that we have in the library."

"Wait…" Juin thought for a while before saying, "Is that why he keeps targeting me? Just because I have an unknown demon in me?" 

"Probably," Tucker said, crossing his legs and leaning back into the chair more comfortably. "Lann has never mentioned it to me, but I won't push that possibility away. You have seen his night terrors. Obviously, he's still deeply affected by his parents' death. I'm sure he blames himself for it and wants to find a way to revive them… So for you who are possessed by a demon, he probably hopes that the demon inside you could help him, and thus, he would do anything to get the demon soul within you…" 

DONNGGG!!!
