She is different from the Morrigan in the novel.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo glanced at his reflection in the nearby mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was one of resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this goes wrong, I'm blaming you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I'm a professional.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A professional with zero job experience.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo kept his thoughts to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan summoned aura scissors made of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her control of her aura was excellent—evident in the way the lightning danced precisely along the shape of blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But lightning would burn his hair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stiffened, his body slightly leaning away from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could voice his protest, Morrigan condensed her aura further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electric glow faded, replaced by a sleek pair of scissors gleaming in solid gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around them grew warm with the energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She can condense her aura into physical substance already?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is growing too fast.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Condensing aura into physical objects signified high control of elementals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an advanced skill that required exceptional precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had no direct relation to strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo remained silent and let her proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the scissors snipping through his hair was oddly soothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his initial apprehension, Neo had to agree—she moved like a professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take her long to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's good,\" Neo replied, staring at his reflection in the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden glow of the scissors dissipated as Morrigan stepped back, arms crossed, watching him expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair now reached only his shoulders—long enough to sway with his movements but no longer cumbersome like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a bathe after the haircut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright, sterile light illuminated the polished tiles as Neo stepped into the shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The droplets cascaded over him, and washed away the stray hairs clinging to his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out his device while in the shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrolled through the internet while resting his head against the tiled wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't decide if this is good or bad,\" he murmured, his voice muffled by the steady patter of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo frowned, his finger idly scrolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Neo left the Shadow World he had a single question at the forefront of his thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his actions in the past caused changes in the present?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several searches, he found no differences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The present seemed the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either I was too lucky, and the events did not create any butterfly effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or the butterfly effect has been created, but I can't find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or, what I did in the past was what happened in the original timeline too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo massaged his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I'm not going to find answers anytime soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While taking a shower, he looked at his own body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Intent he could look at himself from an omniscient point of view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms, torso, legs, neck, and even his fingers had scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to think scars would look cool, but these… look ugly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers brushed over the uneven skin on his forearm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess a scar in reality is different from imagination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo wasn't ashamed of his scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the proof of his defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proof he never gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I guess I don't have scars in at least one place,\" he muttered to himself, chuckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of scars, a symbol of a dragon biting its own tail was ethced on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo had ensured no attack ever landed on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It were Kane's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scar on a swordsman's back is his shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As my student, I hope you will never bring shame to yourself or your sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane's teachings always remained with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo didn't think Kane would've blamed him if he had scars on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was fighting enemies for centuries who surrounded him and attacked him from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack or two landing on his back would have been understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Neo had made sure no attack ever touched his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he wholeheartedly agreed with Kane's philosophy, but because he respected Kane enough to uphold his wishes and values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bath helped him sort his thoughts and focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His damp hair clung to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used Shadow Robe Spell to create clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This looks good enough, I guess,\" he muttered, looking at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo moved toward the laundry space where the bathroom opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed men's clothing hanging on the wall with a note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wear these. I doubt your clothing choice will be good, seeing what you were wearing until now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full-sleeved clothes, along with a jacket, minimized the exposed scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand if it was Morrigan's consideration or coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After changing into the clothes Morrigan prepared for him, he stepped into the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan turned towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him while pondering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Neo asked. \"Don't tell me I still look weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I was just thinking it was a good choice to choose a bigger number.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked Henry for your clothes sizes and then bought a few sizes bigger clothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was surprised when he heard her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had… grown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was supposed to be Ageless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take him long to realize the reason behind his change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ascension and rank-ups.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Those are counted as evolution, not aging.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My body must've matured when I ranked up and Ascended.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan stood in front of him while he was drowned in thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used her hand to measure his height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, you've definitely grown a few inches compared to the you before you entered the Shadow World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could complete his words, Morrigan leaned towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was taken by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan ignored his expression and stretched her hands towards the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tied his hair back, leaving only a few strands to fall across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making a few adjustments, she retreated and looked at him up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is why you gave me that haircut,\" Neo said, seeing how he looked using Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been confused given the weird haircut he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had to agree, it looked good after she tied up his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan looked at him, unpleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you say it if you thought the haircut was weird?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't know it was for tying my hair up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to say something when Neo opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you helping me so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around as if searching for an excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm your fiancé.
