"Yula, look at this! This is cool!"

Lorraine showing her bluestone creation, she practically made an immortality machine from the very first and longest running anarchy server in cubecraft.

"Oh, the admin closed off 1A1S."

"How is that Anarchy Server still running?"

The whole spawn point is blasted to smithereens and the nether and end dimensions are already tarnished beyond recognition.

There's also a lot of cheaters in the server, one reason this is still existing is so that the development team could make an anti-cheat client in the next updates.

"Heh, I wonder who made that server."

Lorraine pondered.

"Well, at least they're helpful."

Also, by the end of the year Yula has released the social media app Leonard has 3/4th done, it's called Barker, derived from the twitter of his past life.

But Yula doesn't know that, so things just got along.

In the year Lenneza did her own things, from practicing her magical powers and even building her power in the mansion and at least developing a martial art she could use.

Yula wasn't slacking off either, she developed her martial art already even before Leonard left. Now she had reached the same level as Lenneza, an apprentice Bishop at the age of 12.

Lorraine however, had taken a different path those months when Leonard was away. She was told that she needed a martial art and cultivation method, and when she was shown multiple cultivation methods of the duchy she wasn't interested in any.

Instead she created her own Cultivation method, which shocked the whole household. She called it the Pixelated World… which everything was a cube.

When asked to be tested, Lorraine grabbed a bow tuned for her size and muttered "fire aspect II" and showed an arrow to a dummy. It lit on fire.

That's when Lenneza knew that Lorraine's Cultivation method is heavily inspired by a game. Cultivation method had 3 stages, mist formation, core formation, and nascent ascension.

Mist formation is all the magical spells that you frequently used will be atoned on making a core, when all of the spells that you frequently used is more refined and a bit diverse to what you see fit we move to Core formation, where in this part, you wouldn't need a chant to cast the spell you frequently used in Mist Formation, its called core formation because mana tend to gather in here at high densities, actually creating a core is still a mystery.

And lastly Nascent Ascension, this stage of cultivation method makes your word the law within you. If your core formation is tuned to fire, then when you want you can speak fire, change a body part to fire or even make wings made of fire.

In nascent ascension, whatever you think is reality in the realm of your magic. And only you possibly. You are the god of your cultivation method at this stage.

Lorraine… in cultivation method is already at the core formation. It may be because of her bloodline, but it was suppressed. So it's quite shocking honestly.

On the other hand, Leonard was already returning.

"I wonder what he looks like after he comes back?" Yula wondered, sipping on her apple juice.

"Probably fine?"

"Bald? I don't know. Just hope my fiance won't look like a clown."

Lenneza scoffed, even if Leonard looks like a clown she would love him like a little brother he is.

"Oh! Len! Len! That car is going here, maybe that's him!"

Yula cheerfully pointed at a car going to the gates of the mansion. Once the car went in and parked at the entrance of the mansion they were disappointed that the one who came out the car wasn't Leonard.

Instead it's one of the Butler's of the duchy and he was carrying a briefcase. His eyes landed on Yula and Lenneza.

"Young ladies, the young master has some news for both of you."

"Yes?"

"Apparently, something happened with the circus troupe and the young master's arrival has been delayed. But do expect him to come at the Academy's entrance ceremony."

"Eh? It would take him that long?" Lenneza was shocked to hear the news.

"Aww." Yula was dejected.

"Now that I've relayed the message, excuse me."

The Butler went inside the mansion, heading toward Richard's office. Lenneza and Yula, who was in the entrance, went inside as well.

"So I guess Leo managed to pass the entrance exam?"

"I guess." Lenneza shrugged "How he managed to take it, is out of my ideas."

Meanwhile, far away, in a car.

"I still don't understand. Why the briefcase?"

"What do you mean why? It's for the surprise obviously."

"Surprise? Why do you need a surprise?"

"Quint shut up, The Academy is full of people that I don't want to bother talking to hence the briefcase."

"I don't see how that is related."

"Yeah, so stop asking."

Leonard has been with the troupe for a year, relationships were formed and a few hardships were made. But of course, he managed to achieve his goal, and that is to gain a martial art.

"I hate this road." Leonard commented.

"Yeah who the fuck even decided to take this damn road!?" Quint shouted.

"Shut the fuck you cunts!"

Gordon beeped the honk of his car. The road they were taking was supposed to be a shortcut. But apparently a lot of people have the same idea. Now they're stuck in a traffic jam.

Well they're going to be there soon, well. Hopefully.
