"What can I do? It's totally random, just fate! For example, some girls seem to have turned into male angels, but I don't think any of them are as handsome as me, the original!" Henderson shrugged and answered. Though he didn't say it out loud, it was clear he actually enjoyed this change a lot.
In some ways, it really was like that! This guy not only became better-looking after crossing over, but he also turned into an angel! They say angels are very respected in this world. They're born with good fighting skills and can fly naturally. Compared to before crossing over, it was like he'd jumped straight to the top!
"What about the others?" Cyrus couldn't help but grab her hair hard, feeling frustrated. She looked at the soft golden hair in her palm and walked to the room's exit without hesitating, opening the door.
"The treatment we're getting here seems pretty good! Everyone got their own room. The others are probably still in their rooms. The hallway outside has..."
But before Henderson could finish, Cyrus had already rushed out.
It was a long hallway. Because of how it was designed, they could see inside clearly with light from outside, without needing any lamps.
There were many rooms on both sides of the hallway. Some doors were closed, some half-open. You could hear people talking inside. Obviously, all the classmates were living there.
"You must be a newborn angel, right?" Just as Cyrus was wondering which room to enter, she suddenly saw a female angel with four wings.
At that moment, she realized she wasn't speaking the usual H-country language, but a language she'd never heard before. Strangely, she could still understand what she meant.
"I'm sorry, but who are you...?" For a moment, Cyrus thought this person might be one of her classmates who had changed, but the next second, she introduced herself.
"I'm Norma! I'm the head of internal affairs here. You can just call me that! So, you must be the last newcomer to wake up?"
Norma recognized who she was right away and then kindly explained the situation.
"Usually, newborn angels shouldn't live in Tivi Palace, but something went wrong with this Angel Descent Formation. Maybe because it was interrupted, only about twenty or so were born, which is really too few! And you even kept your memories from before, so Lady Elara decided to make an exception and let everyone move into Tivi Palace. It'll make it easier to manage everyone later!"
"Tivi Palace? Elara?" Cyrus was completely confused. Just as she was about to ask more, suddenly all sorts of knowledge popped into her head.
"Lady Elara is the leader of the angels in all of Edenmere! And Tivi Palace is where Lady Elara lives?"
This strange development caught her off guard, leaving her standing there in shock.
"The Angel Descent Formation gives newborn angels the basic knowledge and skills they need. So if you have questions, don't worry too much. Just try to calm down and think about the memories in your head. You should be able to find answers to most questions!"
She smiled and explained, then got ready to leave. Suddenly, she turned back and asked,
"Oh right, have you thought of a new name? I'm collecting everyone's info. You can use your old name since you have past life memories, but I wouldn't recommend it. You've been reborn as part of the angel race, so your old name might not suit your new identity!"

"......Cyrus?" Cyrus didn't bother with all that and tried to say her original name.
"Cyrae? What a strange name! Is that what you used to be called?" Norma frowned when she heard it, struggling to repeat it, but it didn't sound right at all!
"It's Cyrus, not Cyrae!" Cyrus corrected her several times, but after a while, the other person showed no signs of improvement. In the end, she had to give up. "Okay, you win... Yes, it's Cyrae!"
"See, that's better! You know, it sounds quite nice when you say it a few times! Remember to come to the welcome party for new angels later!" Norma's face immediately showed a proud smile, as if she'd won a victory. Then she took out a small notebook and wrote it down. After that, she turned and hurried away towards the end of the hallway.
"To be honest, all the angel girls here are really hot! But why do they always like to give people names..." As soon as Norma left, Henderson came out of the room. It turned out he had been hiding in the room, peeking out the whole time. He only showed himself now, teasing with a meaningful look.
"By the way, you look pretty good now too! You have a lot of potential for the future. I have high hopes for you!"
"Sorry, but besides you, I've only seen one other angel. And right now, I don't have time to think about these things!" Cyrae didn't hesitate to show Henderson the international gesture of contempt. Suddenly, she heard the sound of an argument not far ahead. Her curiosity got the better of her. "What's going on over there? Do you know who's living in that room?"
"I think it's that playboy Reilly? Actually, I'm not too sure!" Seeing Henderson shaking his head helplessly, Cyrae could only move a few steps closer to her target. This time, she could finally hear the voices inside clearly.
"Think about it! I'm a man in his twenties, stuck in a woman's body. Don't you know how disgusting this feels?" Sure enough, she hadn't heard wrong. They were speaking H-country language, and obviously, there was more than one person in the room!
A voice with quite a high pitch came from inside. Then the door opened, and a tall, beautiful female angel with a mature look rushed out, her face full of anger.
"You guys?" When she saw the two of them standing in front of the door, she paused for a moment. But she wasn't in the mood to say much and just turned and walked away.
"Looks like that's Reilly! His hair color after being reborn is different from most of us. It's actually grayish-white, so it's very easy to remember!" Looking at the retreating figure, Henderson shrugged.
"If you hadn't said that, I really wouldn't have recognized him at all!" Cyrae could only keep clicking her tongue in amazement. She remembered singing a song with him at the class reunion!
"Oh right, there seems to be another one with blue hair who's also very special. I just can't remember who they were before changing..." But then Henderson seemed to remember something and quickly added.
"You must be talking about me!" This question was quickly answered. It was a very clear and pleasant voice. The person who had been arguing with Reilly in the room was her!
"I'm Flynn!" They looked towards the voice. The speaker was the blue-haired female angel Henderson had mentioned. She first introduced herself and then, not surprisingly, her gaze stopped on Cyrae.
"By the way, Henderson, who's this beautiful woman next to you?"
"What beautiful woman? It's me! I'm Cyrus!" Cyrus felt her whole face turning dark. Actually, she and Flynn had always gotten along well in high school. But now, the former brothers were...
"Uh, sorry, I didn't know you had woken up too! Can't help it, the situation now is just too chaotic, a complete mess!" When Flynn heard this, she quickly apologized with a guilty look. She put her hand on her forehead and mumbled to herself for a long time, looking very worried.
It's probably because of the transformation problem, right? Thinking about Reilly's attitude earlier and the changes that happened to herself, Cyrae could only guess. So she quickly waved her hand, pretending not to care at all, and clarified,
"It's okay! Actually, I already have a new name. If we really can't change back in the future, you guys might as well call me 'Cyrae'. This name was given by someone else!"
"Cyrae?" Unexpectedly, when Flynn heard this, a strange look appeared on her face. She asked further, "It wasn't given by that supervisor called 'Norma', was it? She just gave me a name too, 'Feliciara'. It sounds really awkward!"
"She gave you one too? Me too! She kept insisting I change my name to 'Levins'. I didn't want to, but she kept chasing me around. I couldn't even hide from her!" Henderson immediately joined the ranks of the "victims".
"Speaking of which, the few of us used to be men. Do the girls have to change their names too?" Flynn suddenly thought of an important question and looked up to confirm with Henderson.
"I heard Quinn seems to have transformed too, and even turned into a male angel! Is that true?"
