Zed went back to the mansion where his master is already waiting for him. “Have you read the letter?” Krono asked after Zed arrives in front of the mansion like twig who is almost about to be blown away by the wind. “Yes. I have read it after you have left. Mr. Krono, can you tell how to be a strong person?” Krono looks at him and smiles after hearing that the has that in his mind when he is almost at deaths door. “I think you better ask the master about that instead of me. I am not the best person so be asked such things. My knowledge is limited to some extent.” Krono responded and opens the door for him. “They are waiting for you. You better not make them impatient now.” A smile crept on Krono’s face after.
Seeing the Krono doesn’t have any intention of telling him anything, Zed accept the invitation and went inside where he saw Ven and Gwen waiting for him on the other side of the door. “Took you too long. We were wondering if you might have died on hungerZed had gone through a lot of pain just with Gwen’s training alone but all of the were healed when he talks with Krono who encourages him not to give up and continue to be faithful. He endured that kind of training for almost a year where he got numb from all the pain that Gwen was able to inflict on him that even she got surprised about it as well. And one day, Zed showed her that he is no longer capable of feeling the pain that she can do to him. BAM! “What the hell is with this guy? Its only been a few months since he got used to the pain of my attacks but he is showing now signs of pain now.” She said to herself after landing a clean hit to the pit of his stomach. “Looks like you have gone through the pain.” She said with a smile on her face. “I don’t know. Maybe I just got used to the pain that I am feeling everyday, especially when you try to put so much force on your attacks.” He said with an indifferent tone and gives her the l
After that little incident, Zed fainted and wakes up a week after. “Ah- my head hurts.” He said softly and found that he is inside his room with his masters looking at him in surprise. “What happened?” he asked the two are seems to be a bit surprised of his sudden awakening. Not much, you just slept for almost week is all.” Gwen said as if it was a normal thing to happen with a casual tone. Zed looks at his master Ven for a confirmation and he slightly nod his head. “For a week? I was asleep for that long?” “Well that is normal whenever a Carrier is able to accept his ability as his own. Though people would normally fall asleep for a day or two but this is my first time encountering someone that fell asleep for almost a week.” Ven told him and clapped his hands to his disciple for completing the training. “Though it is normal to see people sleeping for almost every last stage, their sleeping are always the one that determines how strong their abilities are a
“Looks like we are reaching Bruman.” Ven said when he sensed the familiar atmosphere of his homeland. “Master, why do you call it Bruman when it is called Acadia?” Zed asked out of curiosity and Gwen laughed. “Well, we just all it Bruman because we want to and nobody knows what Bruman is so it is convenient for us to use that name instead of Acadia. That way they can’t tell that we came from this place.” She explain vaguely. “Is that really the only reason?” Gwen then looks at him suspiciously and glared at him. “Are you perhaps doubting us now?” Ven could not help but laugh at the wo of them and held them off before a fight is about to start. “Gwen, you are too old to start a fight with a kid. its just normal for him to act like that you know? Even if I was him I would also asked the same question. Who in the world use a different name to call their homeland like we did. He would naturally act like that if anything.” Gwen then laughed at how serious the tw
The first thing that they did was replace all the furniture inside the mansion before they could eat their supper. Zed and Krono had to help Sebastian in replacing all the furniture before Ven flip in anger. “That was really tiresome. The large table almost bot wrecked.” Zed muttered as he pants in exhaustion. “Thankfully Lucierro was there to help us with the sudden work.” Krono looks at Zed with a smile on their faces before they burst in laughter. “Sebastian, the next time the king does something like this, please decline and if you can do better, it would be nice if you could just ignore him. I hate it every time he does that.” Ven added as he clicks his tongue with a glare. “But I guess this really is different and a lot better than what was here earlier.” Zed added as he takes a look around everything that they have replace. “I can see why the master wants it all back now.” He added. “I know. Not only that he likes
That morning, before they all went to the academy, they fetched Gwen from her home and Zed is so surprised to see that she almost have the same grand mansion like his master has and can immediately tell that she is also some kind of an important person. “You came here earlier than I thought. Were you really that excited to bring Zed to the academy?” she muttered while drinking her morning tea. “That is something that I have also in mind. But what I am looking forward to is the thing that you told him. You know- about your successor.” Gwen immediately spat out her tea in surprise. “What?! He told you about that?” she could not hide the smile on her face after Ven mentions what the man told him the night earlier. “Well, he was really looking forward to meeting our successors. I can already imagine how the look on his face would be when he sees Zed.” The two turns to Zed who has Zero idea as to what they are talking about before they both burst into laughter.
“Master, are you sure that it will be alright to leave Zed like that? In a place that he s not familiar with, he is bound to be bullied.” Krono said with a concerned tone and casually looks back at the room where Zed is placed in. “You sound more like an older brother now Krono. But don’t worry about it. Zed knows what to do if something happens and besides. Your sister is also here isn’t she- wait. Did she come home yesterday?” Krono shakes his head. “I don’t think she did. You know she can be stubborn sometimes right master? She might even had stayed in the academy’s dormitory while we are away.” “Now that she is the topic, why don’t we head to head room for now and tell her that there is someone that is also going home in the same direction as her. That way Zed will not get lost, she is also the same age as him right?” after his master mentioned that, they went to her room and called out to her. “Good day master. I did not know that you are back. I though
The next day after the classes of miss Akari is over, Zed takes this time to take a stroll inside the academy and learn about how the kids his age are behaving. “Look at this place. This is so huge that I might not be able to take a proper look around the academy in one day.” He says to himself. Unbeknownst to him, the bullies that planned to screw him right off the bat were following him. “What is that guy thinking of coming here? Taking a stroll after the class?” one of them muttered. “I don’t think this is a good thing to do guys. Hannah Clause picked him up yesterday, that alone should be enough red flag that we should stop even thinking of toying with that guy.” The same guy that warned them not to do something warned them again. “What are you a baby? Just because he is picked up by Hannah Clause doesn’t mean that he is that important of a person. We are all the same right after we enter the academy.” One student protested. Convinced that they are not ev
“That is unacceptable! We are not going to pretend like nothing happened because you told us so headmaster Percy. That kid almost killed our children! And you are going to tell us to keep ourselves calm?!” a parent of one of the bullies expressed their utter disapproval of what the headmaster suggested. “He is right headmaster, you have to at least tell us the reason why we should keep ourselves calm in this situation.” Another one added. “Just like I suggested, please calm down Mr. Gude and Mrs. Kelran. I wanted to tell you the reason but a friend of mine, the guardian of the kid that did almost harmed your children is going to come here to check on that kid himself. So all that we have to do is wait for him to arrive and we will start to talk about everything.” Headmaster Percy said with a calm tone even though the expressions on their faces says that they are ready to chew him off in anger.“Who could have raise such a kid that has tendencies to kill like that.
