“FUCKING OLD MAN! FIRST YOU VISIT CARLIVA AND NOW YOU COME HERE AND YOU DON’T EVEN CONTACT ME! I FUCKING HATE YOU! YOU GET THAT?!!!”

Everyone is totally confused. The guards are trying to hold back Dan but he just keeps on pushing in.

“Father, I am not surprised that Sir Dan knows you since he knows a lot of weird people.”

“Hey, calling me weird hurt my feelings.”

“But why is Sir Dan acting like he wants to kill you?”

Izumi asks King Nakai.

“Well you see, Dan and I...We have a relationship that a simple human mind can’t comprehend.”

King Nakai says with a smile.

“Eh?”

King Nakai just confused everybody in the Castle.

“Well, as much as I want to talk to you Izumi and also it’s great seeing you again King Fracia. I have to take off with that kid.”

King Nakai points towards Dan.

“Later!”

King Nakai waves his goodbye.

“Are you implying you don’t care what happens to the King’s daughter?”

Tarand asks King Nakai.

“I do not but if anything happens to my daughter, now that’s a totally different thing.”

There was this immense pressure that King Nakai gave while he kept his smile on his face.

King Nakai and Dan left. King Nakai left with a smile while Dan left with an angry face.

“And here I thought Sir Dan wasn’t a noble...”

James says.

“He isn’t a noble.”

Carly states.

“Then how do you explain that?!”

Jack shouts at Carly.

“Listen up you motherfucker, it’s something called connections. Even if he has connections, it doesn’t make him a noble. He is still a normal fucking person. Got that?!”

Carly looks angrily at Jack.

“I think you should calm down a little Miss Carly.”

Horrell says with a nervous smile.

“Huh?! Why should I?! That dumb fuck had time to see some old fucker who is some fucking King but not his own fucking girlfriend. That’s great!”

Carly looks angrily at Horrell.

Izumi gets close to Horrell and speaks to her, “I guess she is just having a mood swing or something.”

Izumi whispers in Horrell’s ears.

“I guess so...”

Horrell says with a nervous smile.

“Jeez, Jack...Is that really Sir Dan’s girlfriend? I felt like she would at least be less...Vulgar...”

Luke looks surprised.

“Don’t be surprised, that’s Jack’s sister before Sir Dan’s girlfriend.”

James says.

Both James and Luke have a little laugh together.

“You fucking idiots!”

Jack looks back at James and Luke with an unknowingly menacing aura around him.

That still doesn’t stop James and Luke from having their fun.

Suddenly, the heavy atmosphere disappears and everyone is actually having a fun time.

“Pfft!”

Even Kaileen has a little chuckle in there.

“I didn’t expect that...”

Fracia says.

“Expect what, my King?”

Salvian asks.

“Everyone smiling here...Two men just made my whole court smile, even my own daughter...”

The King was left in shock by another King and a Prince.

I walk out with old man Nakai from the King’s Castle.

“You know, you didn’t need to create that whole commotion to get me out of there.”

Old man Nakai says to me.

“Yeah about that, it’s always fun when I am the one creating the commotion, you know that right, old man Nakai?”

I smile.

“I know, I know. After all, you did create a huge commotion 2 years ago, when you came to my Kingdom.”

Old man Nakai says to me with a smile.

“Yeah, and I am grateful to you for teaching me a lot of things back in Nippon as well.”

I say with a smile on my face.

“Of course, I mean you are supposed to be my favorite student.”

Old man Nakai holds my head in his armpit.

“Yeah, yeah.”

I soon realized something.

“Oh yeah, did you see Master Jake in that whole meeting or whatever they held at the castle?”

I ask Old Man Nakai.

“I don’t know man, I wanted to talk to that guy but you know how he is. I betcha that he was following some hot gal and got real drunk and fell somewhere, after all, that’s how that guy is.”

As much as I liked to deny it, it’s actually pretty accurate to what Master Jake would do.

“Anyways, what’s up with that eye of yours?”

Old Man Nakai asks me.

“I lost it.”

I say the truth to Old Man Nakai. After all, I never hid anything from Old man Nakai. Not even that thing that I said to Shirogane. He is that close to me.

Well, to put it in proper words, Old Man Nakai did teach me Eastern Martial Arts but other than that, he also has been like a father-figure to me. I mean, I spent 2 years with him after I came back from training.

Even though one may say that 2 years is not enough for someone to put so much trust in another person, he has been that type of person. I mean...He did save my life back then so I am really grateful to him.

3 YEARS AGO,

“Why are you doing this?! You aren’t even my real father, so why?!”

“It’s because I really do care about you like my own son, kid.”

PRESENT,

I still remember, I seriously hated that old man back then, didn’t I?

“May I ask how you lost your eye, kiddo?”

Old Man Nakai asks me with a smile on his face.

“Well, it’s a long story.”

I say with a nervous smile.

“Is that so? Well, I am here 3 whole days, so speak to your heart’s content with me and tell me about what has happened over the year.”

Old Man Nakai says to me with a smile.

I sigh, “Alright, as you wish old man.”

I say with a smile.

I tell him everything that has happened up until now.

XXXXXX

“I didn’t expect Umba of all people to betray everyone else.”

Old Man Nakai says to me.

“But more importantly, I have never heard Ares asking for sacrifices or anything like that.”

Old Man Nakai keeps a hand on his chin and speaks like a scholar.

“I know right?! That’s exactly what I thought too. I mean, what kind of bullshit is God’s wanting sacrifices and stuff. I mean, I don’t even know if Gods exist in first place.”

I say in an annoyed tone. I mean I am annoyed by the fact that this is all happening in the first place.

“Gods do exist.”

There was something that I didn’t expect.

“Even though there is no one yet who has done it. In the history of The Eastern Kingdom, there was one person who did it. They broke through God-Class, a class that is higher than the World-Class.”

It seems that I still haven’t learned everything about the power-levels of this world. I always thought that World-Class was the strongest Class a mage could get to.

“Who was this God-Class?”

I ask Old Man Nakai.

There was a brief silence until...

“I totally forgot their name.”

Old Man Nakai broke it with that silly face of his.

“Alright, alright-“

Old Man Nakai pats on my head, “You have broken through World-Class rank since the last time I saw you, that’s good.”

I smile, “Thanks!”
