"Kid, we need to talk after this about your relationship with my daughter!" warned Aldrich to Asfa from behind.

...

Asfa ignored Aldrich's warning since he was busy locating Lucas with his ability. The moment he entered the perimeter of his scanning ability, his expression changed, and Aldrich noticed that.

Even with Steve's help to stop Lucas from hurting the more, Carmen looked severely wounded, while Olivia's arms were bruised all over the place.Luckily, Steve was able to stop him for a while or else the girls might not be alive right now.

But the skill duration almost ended, and Lucas slowly moving toward the girls. Asfa gathers mana with hands and points them toward Lucas.

[Maximum Push]

Lucas flew so quickly and destroyed 2 walls there while Asfa and Aldrich speed up to save the girls.

"We are almost there, and let me remind you earlier. You are not going to like what you are going to see later." Asfa said it with a serious tone.

Asfa led Aldrich for a minute and arrived at the girls' location. Suddenly, the whole college is now trembling and gathered people start panicking. Asfa felt Aldrich's rage, and he decided to not interfere further.

"YOU IMBECILE!! YOU DID THIS TO MY DAUGHTER??"

Aldrich screams and steps on Lucas's body. He then looked at Asfa and told him to bring the girls to Steve.

Asfa subconsciously lifts the girls with his ability. This is indeed his first time doing it. He tried it before this on the bandits but failed miserably. Since that, he has never tried it again on someone else.

He pulled them closer to him since the surrounding buildings were still shaking from the tremors made by Aldrich. After a few seconds of running, he noticed that it was easier to lift someone but harder to move them around.

Asfa felt it was inefficient to continue lifting them, so he immediately stopped moving. Also, he was afraid of being caught by the security cameras here. He then decided to carry them for the rest of the journey.

He puts Olivia on his back since she is still awake while carrying Carmen in his arms since she has been unconscious due to Lucas's assault.

On his way to the laboratory, Olivia asked a lot of questions but Asfa replied to none of them. When they arrived, Steve was treating the unconscious Ian while 'Shield' was sitting on the ground recovering.

"Thank goodness you are still alive, Olivia. This wouldn't happen if I noticed Lucas had been demonized earlier," said Steve while slowly moving toward Asfa and the girls.

Steve then looks at Asfa and says, "You should leave this college now, kid. The Legion and authority are on their way here. You are not ready to go against the demons. Yes, demons exist here, and they are stronger than you for the time being. I wanted to train you, but things are not going our way. So I suggest you explore the forest further to improve your strength. When the time comes, I will come to you."

Asfa got tired of this. In less than a week, he had been exposed to mana, serum, and now demons. For others, it would have been painful to be dismissed by the college, but for him, it was a blessing and opportunity to go away from this place.

He carefully puts Carmen on the floor so that Steve can treat her as soon as possible, but then he notices that Olivia is still hanging on his back.

"Olivia, it is safe here, so you can stay here. I need to go now," said Asfa.

"But you didn't do it, sir. Why would you be the one to be punished? You have never abused your power, and you have saved me twice. This is so unfair!!! I just ...sniff sniff." Olivia slowly cries, and Asfa carefully drops her to the ground so that Steve can start the treatment.

For the first time in his life, he felt someone truly cared about him except his family obviously. She is indeed the most beautiful girl he has ever met. Asfa then sits in front of Olivia, persuading her to stop crying.

Asfa pats Olivia's head and says," It's okay, Olivia. This is the best scenario for everyone, especially for you and Carmen. I hope you can protect Carmen when I'm not around later. When it is time for you to take over the throne, please be nice to the commoners."

Olivia stops sobbing and looks directly into Asfa's eyes.

"I promise you, Mr Hunt. I will try my very best to be the best Queen for everyone. But to make it fair, promise me that this won't be our last time seeing each other!"

Asfa simply nodded to her request. It was pointless to promise her something she couldn't able to keep. Plus, there is still time for her to meet more people in the future before entering the adult world.

"Goodbye, everyone." Asfa looks at everyone for the last time and then leaves the laboratory.

The college's principal is talking to the military leaders about the missing people.

"From my intel, the 3 missing people reported missing are safe from the danger. But our king is now fighting an instructor who turned out to be a demon. The king has requested to bring everyone out of this place."

One of the military leaders says to the principal, "Don't worry, we are aware of the situation inside. The Legion forces will be here soon to stop the demon from escaping. We suggest you go outside with everyone else since your job is not done yet. You need to attend the press conference to cover this incident. Don't worry. We will help your side with an appropriate alibi for this situation. Good luck."

A few minutes after Asfa left them, he reached one of the college's main gates. He realised that the military was on their way to barricade the whole place. Asfa was worried about being caught by the military, so he increased his walking speed to escape from them.

Luckily, he reached the shops' area without being stopped or followed by someone else. He spends some time in the washroom nearby to change into fresh and clean attire. After a few minutes of walking to the train station, he remembered that he was supposed to visit his parents today, but it was too late for his flight.

The good-looking Lucas that everyone remembered before might be forgotten when they see his current appearance. He now has a pair of pointy horns, red-coloured skin and longer nails. Surprisingly he looks healthy and stronger compared to before the transformation.

The injuries he had before were slowly recovering. Ever since Aldrich arrived, he has toyed around like a doll. Lucas then laughed for a moment and then shouted to Aldrich.

"You stupid human, we have finally found a way to cross over between our worlds. So what if you are stronger than me. They will be thousands of me later. Be prepared for our invasion!"

Aldrich frowned for a while but then he lifted his right hand toward Lucas.
