《Devour》Chapter 12: Midas Family
Advertisement
Before Jio left the Nom-Nom City, the elders asked if he wants to trade three out of four Dragon Pears in his ring for a meter-long space rock that happened to crashed near the city, injuring half the population fifteen years ago. No one predicted that disaster and no one knew who or what caused it up to this day.
"It's time for us three to move on... This piece of mineral only reminds us of the painful past... But we have *looks around* this family to take care now," The elder with antlers let out while he takes the space rock out from a universal bag.
With the size of the space rock, Jio could compete in the competition and increase his rank to receive more Hell Points hence getting what he needs to improve so, in the end, he trades it with the elders.
The elders are grateful since they need this treasure to increase their power and tell Jio to talk to the Gecko girl to return home safely.
The beautiful Gecko girl shows and instructs Jio how to get back to the school with a map since she can not go with him and must do work requested by the elders.
"So... Can you tell your name now?" Jio asks, but he only receives a smile as the Gecko girl starts her quest and leaves without saying goodbye.
While Jio heads back to the school, he thought everyone might be looking for him, especially his mother. When he thinks about his village mother's last moments, he can feel her love at the very end and is grateful to have two awesome mothers.
Traveling back didn't take Jio long since he didn't encounter any beast, and as he travels alone, he learns something new about his soul weapon, "Jon." When he refined the space rock, the primary material (The space rock) all have the ability it devoured. Still, the impurities or other metals within the soul weapon can only morph, which is suitable for smithing.

Jio gets back in the school, unaware of the day and time since he tries to bring Jon's full potential and learn it secret during his journey back and sees Mickey with a girl.
Mickey immediately calls Jio out, "Your alive! Everyone is worried about you."
"Sorry about that, when I escaped in the forest, I got lost again..." Jio said in his defense.
"Again? What? Anyways..." Mickey looks at the girl with his eyes slightly shut and hesitates to continue, "This is... Aera Midas."
"Is that how you introduce your fiancee?" Aera said angrily
"But, but," Mickey let out and look defeated.
"You can say no to her; you know that, right?" Jio let out, looking at Aera
"Since your hubby's friend, I tell you what happened," Aera said as she starts to narrate her story.
"Long ago, I was walking by the library, and Mr. B asked me if I want him to stop the bullies, but then hubby stopped those bullies and help...who's that again, dear?" Aera looks at Mickey with her head slightly tilted.
"Dino," Mickey answers.
"Right! Dino, a member of THE Blood Tribe, is surprising, isn't it? Then Mr. B, my butler, and I went to the auction; the rampaging beast is so fierce that everyone should be running for their lives, but hubby tries to save as many students as possible while Mr. B activates his soul shield... I told him to help kill the monster, but my safety is always the priority. If only the beast doesn't have that tattoo, he could have helped; long ago, a Magmar with the same tattoo on the forehead once exploded and destroyed a huge part of a city," Aera catches her breath and continues, "Yup, Mr. B is worried. So I decided to know more about Mickey, and now we're engaged."

"What in the world?" Jio lets out and supports Aera at this one, "Anyways, I'm back, and I'm happy for both!"
"I like you, Jio. Hubby knows how to pick a friend," Aera announces
"Helpppp~," Mickey said quietly while his perverted thought leaves his head while thinking about his dream to be the "Harem King" fades away and is replaced by Aera looking like a demoness happily watching Mickey sufferers.
*In class 1-1*
"Good! Everyone is here," Ms. Remy said and is grateful since Jio is back, "In two weeks, the ranking competition will begin! Class President, collect all names that want to participate, and whoever needs me, I'll be in the faculty and staff office."
"Mickey, can you invite Dino and Kiba and look for a good fighting field to practice?" Jio asks Mickey with a serious face.
"Sure! Also, can I bring Aera? She'd get mad and makes my life a living hell if I didn't invite her for sure," Mickey said, holding his hair with his two hands.
"Why are you so afraid of her anyways?" Jio let out, and the whole class stop talking and look at Jio like he offended some Goddess or something.
"She is the only daughter of the Midas family, the 5th richest family in the continent but the strongest there is, and she is like an angel from heaven," someone in class angrily states to Jio.
"Is this the beginning of the end? Why Mickey the 'perverted monkey' WHY HIM!" Most males in the class start to get mad while tears fall on their faces thinking that an angel falls in a demon's hand.
Jio ignores it since he already knows about the Midas family and asks Mickey, "Do you at least trust her?"
"Unfortunately, I trust her..." Mickey signs.
"So yes, I don't mind Aera coming along," Jio happily answers.
After class, Mickey invited Dino and Kida, and when he tried to invite Aera, she thought he was asking her out and realized that Jio requested to practice. Aera's face starts to look gloomy like she is about to unleash hell on Mickey.
"Okay, Okay! Dont get mad. I'll take you out to dinner before the ranking competition," Mickey offers to Aera without realizing what he said.
*Mama's teaching WORKS!!!!* Aera thought as she smiles at Mickey
Midas Family- Long ago, the family helps an ancient monster. After it recovers, it can turn regular rock into gold and help the family until they don't need this old monster anymore. The Family is always grateful and never gets consumed by their greed. Some say that this monster always protects the offspring of the Midas family until now.
