Chapter 106 Going Back Home (Part 2)



The dean\'s office,

"Did you check him?",

"Yes, I did. He reacted to the key. Although it was only for a moment, he felt it", The dean replied.

"Good, this confirms the fact that he has already unlocked a part of his bloodline", A man said as he appeared in the middle of the office.

"I don\'t get it, Kane. How can the universe grant so much power to a single kid? What if he goes astray? What if he is led down the wrong path and causes destruction to the world", The dean asked in worry.

"That is why we are here. Don\'t you remember the oath you took? To do anything for sake of the chosen one. Now he is here, so do all you can. So he does not go down the wrong path", The man said as he walked into nothingness.

The dean said nothing and continued with his work.

Meanwhile,

Ray continued to walk his way back to the dormitory.

"What do you think of this key? Can I master it?", Ray asked Aurora as he held his key in one hand and examined the patterns on it.

"I don\'t know much about it but from what I could sense, it has great power within it. You should take good care of it. Who knows when you might have to use it", Aurora said cryptically as she continued to examine the key.

"Aurora, when I saw this key. I felt something", Ray solemnly said as he clenched the key in his hand.

"What do you mean by that?", Aurora asked in curiosity.

"I felt a connection to it. A connection you only feel with your family. It felt as if the key was part of me, a part of my family",

"I am sure that\'s your mind playing games on you. There are very few artifacts that can make you feel like that and that is when those artifacts share some sort of similarity with you and as far as this key is concerned, I don\'t think it\'s one of those artifacts", Aurora replied.

"Okay, if you say so", Ray said as he put the thought at the back of his mind and focused on the current situation as he asked Aurora,

"Show me my level",

As he spoke, a notification popped in front of him as his level got shown,

[Stats],

[Level:- 35],

[Exp:- 500,000/500,000],

Looking at his level, Ray\'s face scrunched up in a frown as he spoke,

"Why haven\'t I leveled up? It\'s been a week since I have been stuck on this level while my experience bar is also full",

"It\'s simple. You can\'t increase your level for now. Not until you evolve and enter the magical realm", Aurora replied in a carefree manner.

Listening to her, Ray felt even worse as it seemed that the coming apocalypse didn\'t worry her at all. However, Ray didn\'t dwell much on that as he knew how Aurora was. She would act like she didn\'t care but deep down, it was she who cared the most.

Lost in his thoughts, Ray didn\'t even notice when he reached the dormitory building. Not halting his steps, he took the lift and entered the floor.

"Click…",

Stepping inside, Ray went straight to his room and closed the door behind him,

He fished out his phone as he dialed a number and called,

"Tring… Tring… Tring… Click",

"Hello dear, how are you? I heard from the dean that you fainted while training. Are you all right now?", His mother asked as soon as she picked the call up.

"Don\'t worry mom. It was a small accident, I am fine now. Anyways, I called to tell you that I will be coming home for a short holiday. Also, I won\'t be coming alone. A couple of my friends would be coming along too", Ray said as he explained,

"Also, there are some matters that I will discuss with you when I reach home. Just be ready and yeah, a friend\'s mother would also be coming along. I will explain it to you when I arrive there. Right now, I can only say that the time has come", Ray said as his cheerful voice was gone by the end of his sentence, only to be replaced by solemnness.

"I understand Son. Just come back home safely", Ray\'s mother said with determination and worry.

Although she had a lot to ask, the last sentence that Ray spoke sealed the deal. She understood the matter and did not delve in much deeper while ending the call on a good note as she understood the burden that Ray had on his shoulders, of how he felt.

She understood that right now, what Ray needed the most was a warm embrace that could ease his worries. That\'s why she asked no questions and urged him to hurry back.

"Okay, mom. I will be home soon", Ray said as he cut the call.

"How frustrating", Ray sighed as he thought of all the things he had to go through for the sake of his family. For the sake of their protection and yet, he stood helpless as he tried to find ways to get stronger because he knew that no one would help him.

Leaving behind those negative thoughts, Ray started to pack his bags and got ready to go home.

On the other hand,

Elina paced around in worry as she held her phone, waiting for her mom to call her and update her from time to time.

"She just called you a few minutes ago. Didn\'t she say that she would be taking a nap now and would call you when the plane lands",

"Un", Elina nodded in agreement and continued to pace around haphazardly,

"Then why do you continue to pace around like an idiot? Shouldn\'t you be packing your bags or something like that? At least have some rest", Tim said as he snatched the phone from Elina\'s hands and continued,

"Also, this will stay with me and when mom arrives, I will hand it back to you", Tim smiled and left the room.

While all of this happened,

Within another corner of the Academy,

A meeting was taking place between several directors and executives of the Academy,

"To think that our plan failed so miserably", a director spoke in anger as he shatter the vine glass in his hand.

"Calm down Zen, our plan didn\'t fail. It\'s just that we didn\'t meet all the objectives", Moore said as he took a sip from his glass.

"What do you mean by that? We clearly failed when the damned Prometheus retained his position as the dean", Zen spoke in anger as he picked another glass and filled it with wine.

"How dense! You don\'t even know what actually happened and then you go on bragging about being a calamity realm expert", Moore said sarcastically as he stood up and placed his hand on Zen\'s shoulder.

Continuing to apply pressure on his shoulder Moore said,

"It\'s good that you are this dense. It makes you the perfect person for such work. Not even a single word to anyone, Okay?",

With that, Moore put a slip in Zen\'s hand and then walked back to his seat as he turned to other directors and said,

"It\'s the same for you all. If I get to hear that either one of you opens your mouth outside of this room. Then, there will be no one worse than me", Moore warned as he continued to sip his wine.

The directors all nodded as they slowly left the room until only Moore was left behind.

"You can come out now", Moore spoke in the air as a shadow manifested in front of him.

The shadow took for of a human being as it spoke,

"I have fulfilled my part of the treaty. The merge has been initiated by my soldier. It\'s now your turn to fulfill your part",

"I know what I have to do but there is a question that constantly keeps bugging me",

"Speak", The voice answered in annoyance.

"I wonder, where did you find Edward from? Wasn\'t he missing for the last few decades?", Moore asked curiously as he squinted his eyes at the shadow.

"There is no need for you to know. Just do as I have instructed and complete your part of the deal, or else the consequences wouldn\'t be good", The shadow spoke as it warned Moore not to ask about matters that didn\'t concern him.

Moore said nothing and only smiled sinisterly as a plan formed I\'m his brain. A plan that would endanger not only the Academy but all the students within the Academy.

6 Hours Later,

Ray and the others stood in front of the Academy entrance as they received Elina and Tim\'s mother,

"So you are the kid Elina was speaking of?", Elina\'s mother asked enthusiastically while Elina nudged her and said,

"Mom.. Don\'t",

"Yes mam, I am Ray. Nice to meet you", Ray said politely as he shook her hand.
