Hitman x Wives-Chapter 224 - Moving In

Kai and Eva spent the time quietly till night descended on them before they finally decided to go back home. This date, as sudden and as simple as it was, was by far the best one they went on.

They were able to share their thoughts and feelings properly without any lies. Eva could feel Kai's honesty and so Kai did. Their conversation felt more intimate than any flirtatious words. That was because they were being their true selves to each other. Such a closeness was rare to see even amongst couples.

The reasons for that are numerous but the most important one was the understanding of one another's thoughts. If that came from one simple conversation or from a long period of time being together, Kai and Eva had already reached that level.

So, with that in mind, they two went to sleep peacefully. Eva slept that day better than any other day. Even if she knew that her beloved was leaving, she already achieved a huge step in their relationship.

The next day, Kai and Aria took the plane back to Lunaria where the Divinity HQ was. The trip felt shorter than the first time since they had been here barely a few days ago.

Before that, however, Kai called Aria to find him a good and inconspicuous house or apartement where he could settle down with Aria for the period they would be spending there. In the matter of Kaya, she had decided to also return to the HQ, but the only exception is that she wouldn't get in contact with Kai unless she was absolutely sure nobody was spying on her.

Having Kaya support in the background was a very useful idea. If anything, that would help accelerate the process a lot if done right.

After landing in the airport, Kai and Aria took a cab to the apartement that Kaya had found in a few short hours. The location of the house was a calm neighborhood in the suburbs. It was a part of a 5-story building rather better than the one where Kai lived before. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"So, this is the place?" He murmured as he looked at the picture Kaya sent him on his phone.

Aria, who was silently standing next to him, kept her senses alerted to anything around them. For one reason or another, she had been feeling tense ever since they arrived as if she was worried about something. Kai did ask her if she felt anything suspicious but she shook her head.

So, Kai didn't really mention it anymore. If she was anxious over something then it was her problem.

"Let's go inside." He said after a while.

Approaching the entrance gate, he rang the doorbell. There were many buttons and one button had the word 'Landlord' on it so he used that one. A few moments after the ringing, he heard a door open as hurried steps approached the steel gate.

Just the pure design of the walls around the building was proof that it was on the richer side of the spectrum. Kai would've preferred something less costly but he knew he couldn't be picky when he asked Kaya to find this place in a matter of hours.

'If it's not good then I will just move out.' He thought to himself as the door opened. Who appeared as an extremely beautiful older woman. She had short brown hair and an extremely attractive body wrapped in a beautiful one-piece dress.

Her whole presence exuded a mature charm that is rarely found.

"Hah, Oh? Are you perhaps the new tenant?" She asked with a breathy voice as she looked at Kai. In his current appearance, he was simply a normal-looking boy standing next to a rather beautiful girl.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for the sudden arrival. I couldn't notify you beforehand." Kai chuckled awkwardly as he extended his arm forward for a handshake. The woman quickly nodded her head awkwardly before she shook his hand.

"Haha, don't worry about it. I'm truly glad you chose my humble building. My name is Ethia."

"My name is Jack Bartin and this is my childhood friend, Calia Norman. We're from F-Country and we came here to join Divinity." He said.

"Oh, right, that new superpower stuff. So many people are joining this Divinity. Oh, silly me! What am I doing letting you two stay outside? Please come in." Ethia smiled charmingly as she moved to the aside, allowing the two to enter.

The moment they stepped inside, they were met with a big garden that covered most of the front yard and wrapped around the building from the sides. A multitude of plants and trees could be seen all around the place. It was a very pleasant sight.

Cutting through this garden was a long path that connected the entrance with the main building.

"This place is nice." Kai praised honestly with his friendly smile still intact.

"Oh my, thank you. I love greenery so I take care of this place like it's my own child. I'm happy to see that someone loved it." She said with an excited look.

The trio reached the main entrance to the building and walked inside. The lounge on the first floor was beautiful and well organized just like that of a hotel. On the left was a set of stairs that led to higher floors and on the right was an elevator.

"This lounge is for all the tenants who want to enjoy a cozy space outside their apartments. There is a small library there if you're into reading." Ethia explained as they walked through the lounge and entered the elevator.

"Are you into books, Mr Bartin?"

"You can call me Jack," Kai replied with an innocent smile.

"Hehe, of course, you can also call me Ethia. What about you, Miss Calia."

"Oh, my apologies, I was daydreaming," Aria spoke when she realized that she had been too quiet the whole time. Her mind was completely occupied elsewhere and she didn't listen to anything they said. Luckily, Kai's secret nudge woke her up.

"Hahaha, Don't be shy, please. Consider this place as your new home. I love all my tenants after all."

As the three conversed, the elevator reached the fourth floor and opened, showing a long corridor filled with rooms. Each room had a number on its wooden door that indicated what room belonged to whom.

"The fourth floor is the calmest place as per your desire. Hehehe, the apartement is also furnished and it has two bedrooms, one kitchen, one bathroom, and one living room." She explained as she led them to the room and then pulled the key and opened the door revealing a beautiful apartement.

So far, Kai was very impressed by how good the place is. It was certainly better than his old apartement if there was even a way to compare the two of them.

After giving them a tour around the place and checking all the necessary details. Kai accepted the apartement, signed the papers, and then finalized the move.

Everything went swiftly and in a matter of 2 hours, Kai and Aria were organizing the place. The fact that he and Aria would be living together for a while made him feel weird. He intended to give her an apartement of her own but since she was still at risk of getting attacked by that shadow figure.

So, they had to at least be close enough to not let him do anything. The other reason was the fact that they would have to attend a new school in the area. Kai can't forget that he was still a student and if he didn't attend school, he would fail the year.

His school record had already been filled with absence so he was at risk of repeating the year. The school he chose was one that was rather special. In fact, it was very special and the reason behind that was what Kaya told him.

'Divinity intends to include that school in its program. They will start raising a new generation of Origin Users so that was already predictable.' Kai thought as he approached the window and looked at the outside. Coincidentally or not, in the far distance, he could see the school's buildings.

To teach people about Origin, Divinity needed a course just like that of a normal school class. So, what better way to make that course than to establish it in a pre-created school?

This school's name will be… Ascenders' Academy.

Inside that place, countless students will gather with the shared goal of learning more about Origin. It will be a historical moment for Divinity. To finally create the true first generation of Temporary Origin users. Whether it would succeed or not, it was still unknown but what was for certain, what would happen in that school would be far from normal.

After all, gathering a bunch of abnormal people inside one school will only generate nothing but bizarre occurrences.

'Sigh, I feel like this is going to be a long plan.' Kai sighed to himself as the looming future weighed on his mind.
