93 Good reason

Sitting on the tavern table, Isoc and I were arm wrestling while Emma was chatting with Isoc wife. I smiled as I threw Isoc with a single push to the side before he landed on another group of adventurers who ignored him and allowed him to fall on the ground.

"Haha!" I smiled as everyone laughed. Emma looked angry at me before looking at Isoc wife with an apologetic look. Mother also was upset, but she had this smile on her face all of a sudden.

"Sorry about that Jenhi, he always does that" Emma apologised as she pinched me hard without anyone noticing. I nodded back while pretending to be pained, "Sorry, sorry…" I apologised while ignoring my wife smiling face.

The mood was great around the table as Isoc re-joined us again while chatting about life and his wife, I enjoyed this kind of moments as it showed results of the planning that was made 21 years ago. Isoc changed much during the period he was with us, but he always had a great mind.

As everyone chatted, I watched the tavern before spotting Alexandre again and smiling at him before looking back at my companions and excusing myself "I will excuse myself to go smoke, be right back."

Standing up, I walked out of the tavern before going to a corner while I was being followed by Alexandre and his companions who were whispering to each other silently.

As Alexandre arrived, I hit the cane once on the ground, and a table began to sprout out of the ground before chairs formed around it. "Sit," I said as I snapped my finger to make a cig appear out of thin air before it burned on the side and smoke appeared out of it.

Alexandre who was not shocked sat on the chair next to me with ease as if it was normal, but the girls around him were shocked, one of them accidentally muttered out "Hidden class?".

Ignoring them, I looked at Alexandre while smoking, "Good job at your fast advancement, close to level 150 huh?" I smiled as I was looking at his status.

Alexandre nodded his head and replied "It is nothing compared to your star level", I smiled at him and shook my head, "No, there won't be a star level, things are changed to Transcendence, I find it much easier to look at."

Alexandre took a moment to think before nodding, the girls who were confused around him were trying to get an answer, but they just stayed silent. "Future wives?" I asked Alexandre who was sitting next to them while they blushed.

Alexandre smiled and shook his head "Friends" before he got pinched by the nearest girl. I continued smiling while finishing the cig before throwing it to the side. I looked at him before standing up and fixing my jacket while placing one hand on the cane.

"I bought two years of peace, train harder as I won't be able to stop what happens later on," I said in a cold voice as I returned to the tavern ignoring Alexandre shocked face.

Alexandre sat on his chair while his face couldn't help but pale, one of the girls around him asked confused "Who is that man Alex?", calming himself down, Alexandre looked at the girl and answered "Guild master of this world, Ace the 9th."

Back to the tavern, I went to the bar and got some whiskey before going back to the table and hearing an interesting thing coming from my mother mouth. "Jenhi, you need to be strict with your husband Isoc, he fools around too much and one day… humph"

Hearing that I looked over at Isoc who was laughing at the adventurers while looking over their quest completion paper. I smiled at his foolishness and took my seat next to Mother who was creating bad ideas inside Isoc wife head.

Time went by, and finally, the Sun began to set before the staff walked over to the side and turned on the magic lamps to make the light brighter within and outside. Looking at the mood within I smiled and gestured to my Wife and Mother to leave as we had a busy day tomorrow.

"We will visit you next time Isoc!" I smiled as I waved back at them before leaving the tavern and walking towards an inn to spend the night in. After reaching the inn, we were greeted by two young people who seem to be married, we paid 20 copper for the night inside a large room and slept for the day.

I took the couch to lay on while Mother and Emma slept on the bed, I could barely sleep as my anger kept increasing, but I held it up. I thought to myself 'Payday will come, Eden…'

Slowly I closed my eyes and morning came without noticing it. I woke up after a few hours of sleep and went downstairs to the backyard to wash my face before going back up to see both Mother and Emma awake.

"Good morning" I greeted them as I took my Jacket and wore it before sitting on the couch and looking at the screens that I made appear.

'Game 00:00, Court date 11 days, [0001,04,13 | YYYY,MM,DD]'

Snapping my fingers the screens disappeared as I stood up from the couch and looked at the window outside, I saw people running around and laughing. I smiled and nodded my head before walking out the inn with Emma and Mother before moving to the school grounds which was near to the east inner gate of the zone.

After walking for thirty minutes, we finally reached the school that had a few soldiers guarding it against the outside and barely anyone entering it or leaving. I smiled at the security and saw a few details that could be modified such as the air defence which seems to be ignored before tapping the cane on the ground once and a large barrier covered the school without anyone noticing.

"Husband, let us enter," Emma said as I nodded before walking towards the front gate and getting stopped by a guard.

"Halt! Identify yourself!" The guard said while having his hands on the sword to his side and another hand to a gun. I brought up papers by snapping my fingers, and the guard took it to confirm before allowing us to proceed inside with a guide from his side.

"You may proceed, follow this man and he will take you to the principal office," The guard said with a serious voice as he returned to his post. I nodded and followed the guide while Mother and Emma followed slowly as they observed the gardens within the school. They found it to be amazing and unique.

This was suggested by Rose, Klaus also vouched for it by saying "A warrior is affected by his environment, loyalty sprouts through showing care to your subordinates!"

I smiled at that moments, but the walk was short as it took us a few minutes to reach the principal's office. The guide left us after reaching the office before leaving us there standing, I knocked on the door once and a feminine voice came from inside "Door is open, let ourselves in".

I placed my hands on the doorknobs before twisting them and opening the doors. What met our eyes was a beautiful elven lady with a refined taste of looks. "Welcome to Zone C, 2-3, I am the current leader and principle of this school Miss Lensa Reyroris, you may call me Lensa, please take a seat."

After I took a seat on the other side of the table followed by Emma sitting on another and Mother on the couch via the corner of the office, Lensa took her seat and gave us a serious look. "I was recommended to hire your two for a year but no matter who recommends anyone to me, I have a few questions…remove your mask and tell me what your occupation in this world is"

I smiled as I placed my cane on the ground lightly, "I apologise for not introducing myself… My name is Ace Thelos, and I am the current Guild Master of Earth" I said while keeping my mask on "As for the Mask, I can't remove it without a very good reason" I smiled as I looked at Lensa.
