4 Too Bright

With a content expression, Lati left the two little girls and went to check on Nodus, Seeing that the young boy is quietly asleep, with a peace of mind and relief, Lati went to get a good rest for the night.

"And the kingdom is well known for its academy, the Sky Hope Academy! It told, thousands of years ago, an ancient expert came from another realm and thought us the basic of bonding with the magical beast, hence people who could summon and fight with their trusted partner came into existence!"

Luru who was happily bragging about her academy ancestor, for the first times, knew no bound and also because Ali seems to be enjoying the stories very much.

"What else Luru??? What about magicians and warriors???"

Luru took another long breath and resumed her stories.

"Ahem...Of course, because it was the foundation of warlocks, it was also a great benefit for people who were studying magic back in the past, warlocks and magicians use almost the same foundation and comprehension, but for warriors, on the other hand, they were everywhere , their foundations was built up since the ancient times and the ones that matters are either from ancient families or the elite warriors from the Red Mountain Academy, other than that, to become a warrior you could just enroll to any regular academy since they have plenty of instructors."

"Then.. which one is stronger?? The warriors from Red Mountain academy or magicians from Sky Hope academy?"

Ali asked eagerly as she waits for Luru to finish gulping down her cup of warm water.

"Of course the magicians and warlocks, but don't underestimate the warriors... I heard from legends that supreme warriors could obliterate an entire civilization with a single swing of a sword and slice mountains in pieces from thousands of miles away!"

"Wooow, then why are magicians stronger?"

Ali tilted her head as ask her questions.

"Erm..it's simple..a supreme warrior cannot beat a supreme magician unless he or she sneaks up on them, because a supreme magician can learn the ultimate technique that works on most mastered spells, instant casting!"

Luru pure black eyes were sparkling as she drools while she pictures her future self-being a supreme magic caster.

"Wahh...It sounds to cool... I want to be a warlock and have lots of cute bonds!"

Ali was visualizing herself tons of cute creatures around her.

"Hehehe, to be a warlock you have to take the warlock aptitude test first if you have high authority, the academy would be more than willingly help find a creature of your choice! "

"authority? But... I am just a villager-"

Before Ali could finish her sentences, Luru took over to explain herself.

"Silly, Magicians requires, mana and intellect, warriors, require qi and might, while warlock requires mana but mainly authority, to put in into simple words, they are all some kind of energy of the world "

Luru nodded with her pointy nose expression as she felt like a patient teacher who was educating a kindergarten student while Ali green eyes were filled with anticipation.

The two little girls yawned and finally decided to go to sleep since both rooms were taken, Luru just laid down stacks of furs from her parent's room and slept with Ali, finally resting after a hectic day.

"Hmm?"

With the sunlight glaring at his face, Nodus slowly opened his eyes. Ugh... why is the window not covered... But with a flash of memory, Nodus quickly sat up and scanned the barren bedroom with only a chair and bed, he realized that his pair of clothes were gone, replaced by a big, loose cotton pajamas. Nodus didn't let it bother him as he look at the wristwatch on his right arm and he only sees a number.

"2% left huh...At least I don't have to go through manual phasing... Z1, Initiate matter scan, source, energy particle."

The dimmed screen on the watch suddenly displayed a 3D ultrasound map of a mountain was floating in front of Nodus.

"That was quick.."

"I used a bit of White Jade energy to scan the entire place prior the impact "

Said Z1 in an assuring manner.

the mountain wasn't big at all, with many roots like tunnels inside of it, many tiny red dots suddenly appeared in those vines and looking at the green dot appearing on the side of the mountain, Nodus slowly stood up from the bed.

'They helped me, but I saved them... So I don't owe them anything...Hmm...I am on the side, and one of the entrance is nearby... Not bad...But with this amount, It won't even motivate my bathroom to flush...Oh well, I'll just prioritize the phase watch and tell Z1 to find more nodes on the way but first, where is my favorite boxer and top....'

After a quick look, his clothes weren't there so Nodus left the room and noticed another place with an empty door frame.

'Maybe it's in there.'

As Nodus set foot in the room, he noticed a big closed chest and someone with blue hair sleeping on the bed.

'Ah, there it is.'

Without a single thought, Nodus took his clothes that were hanging on the window frame and left the room.

The blue haired woman did not even notice Nodus despite being a strong magician, feared by countless people.
