7 Preparation

When Ranga reappeared, he was in his allocated chamber in the king's castle. First thing first. He looked at his smart watch, then the clock on the bedside table and matched the time. He was afraid of time distortion. When he found both of them displayed exact same date and time, he sighed a breath of relief. Otherwise he would have to remain in constant vigilance as he could get summon any time if he could not calculate the discrepancy perfectly. Then he thought, [Now that I think about it, my ancestor's banishment time in other world and the time passed after his arrival moment in this world are approximately same amount. I could infer that there is no time discrepancy from that.] The clock is showing 9.03 am. It is way past his waking time as he is literally raised in the military. He shook his head then proceeded to collect his luggage as he came here directly from airport yesterday. He went out of his room and proceeded to leave the castle and arrive at his family compound. The king told him have breakfast with him, but Ranga politely declined. When he reached at the family compound, his uncles and his cousins greeted him. As his father and mother are overseas now, his uncles are in charge of maintaining things over here. He handed his luggage to a servant and ask his second uncle, "Uncle come to my room. There is something urgent." Inside the room, he said, "Uncle I shall teleport to father and mother now, it is something urgent than cannot wait. I shall leave the matter of my sudden disappearance to you. Please handle it thoroughly". Seeing his serious face, his second uncle didn't ask any further and said, "Okay, leave those to me, young man. Say your father that I miss him." After his uncle left, he brought he concentrated for 3 minutes and locked on to his father's aura. Then invoked space law with his mana, an space distortion consumed him. He reappeared in his father's house overseas. Well what welcomed him, was an awkward situation. He found his father and mother in a rather "intimate" position. Scratch that... in a "very intimate" position on the couch of the living room while all of their limbs are busy on their counterpart's body. He was stunned for a minute. At this moment, he was supposed to be killing a king of the kingdom and his parents are making out. [Author note: This reminds me an embarrassing moment when I seven. I walked in when they were *cough* *cough*, you know what I mean. As I didn't understand what they were doing, I gave them a weird look and left the room.] He spread his surrounding and felt that servants are not in the vicinity. Looks like they took a hint and left this pair of love birds alone. They didn't notice him and continued what they were doing. Closing his eyes, he gave a light cough. They were jolted in shock and separated like a pair of teenage couple while looking at the source of cough.

-Don't worry. It's me, your beloved son.

Ranga said with a little sarcasm. His mother was blushing despite her age, while his father gave a shameless smile,

-Son, you are back! So, you already finished with the thing you went to do there!? But why did you teleport?

-No, the king still lives... for now. There has been change of plan due to a unforeseen circumstance. Now if you two could kindly freshen yourselves up and clam yourselves down, I have some things to discuss. I shall come back in ten minutes. .... By the way, you can do what you want as I want a sibling too, but please get room for god's sake. It is not pleasant to see such sight.

Ranga said in a serious voice. Both of his parents gave a awkward laugh only.

Ten minutes later

Ranga and his parents were sitting face to face on the couch placed on opposite side of the room.

-So son, why didn't you kill the king? I believe that is the reason you went back at that damned kingdom in the first place right? So, what opted to change your action?

Ranga answered,

-You wouldn't believe what happened. It happened at night when I was about to go out to....

Ranga continued with his whole summoning to their home kingdom, the situation with the kingdom, the reason for his summoning. Then what he proposed in exchanged and after that the queen Chaya's accept, concluding with his return.

.

Hearing all that, his father had a solemn look. He said,

-I respect your decision son as you are an adult man now. But I still should you were too rash.

-I know that father. But did I have a choice in the matter? I would have to give her an answer in the time limit. But same can be said for her too.

-Yes, don't she realize how she would potentially become a puppet if the said person has a bad motive?

His mother, Xilin said,

-I think, she is in desperate situation with her political position. So, chose to gamble and decided to trust in her own family rather than outsiders. Well, son, why don't you show our parents how your fiancee look like?

-And how am I suppose to do that?

-Don't tell you didn't took a single photo of her in your smart phone?

His mother said with disbelief,

-Ummmm, ya.. I mean, no. I just thought it would rude to ask on our first meeting.

Her mother said with half opened eyes,

-You forgot, didn't you.

While his father nodded in affirmation,

-Yap, Absolutely forgot.

Ranga said in exasperation,

-I can't help it okay. I was in the royal guard from age of 5. I have zero social skill with opposite gender. Cut me some slack, okay.

Both of his parents laughed, seeing such bashful expression of their son who is still in his teens.

-Haha, we are just joking with you. Jokes aside, she must be a real beauty if are deciding to leave this world for her.

His father said. He answered in response,

-No, I said you before, I plan to figure out the inter dimensional teleportation which is not bound by the constellation. Then I plan to build a inter dimensional bridge, or a gate between the two world, so that we can invade here.

-That's said, even I am not confident enough to figure that out alone. You sure, you shall be alright back there?

-I shall be not alone, I shall have help of their mages. So, I am pretty confident. What I want you to do is, prepare on this side.

-What do you want son?

-I want you to join business of weapons and amass as much capital as possible. Sow chaos in the continent if needed. The more chaotic the situation, the more easier to invade. Such a situation would be optimal for weapon business too.

-So, we have to become weapon dealer. [big sigh] Forget it. If we were strict in the first place, we wouldn't had to loose our son in the first place.

-No, you got my point slightly wrong. What I mean is, we have to become weapon manufacturer, not dealer.

-Is there any need? No matter how much we try,we couldn't weaponize mana. As for normal weapons, we could just buy as much as we want from people here.

-Hehe, weaponization of mana is possible my dear father. Look at this,

He took out the golden medallion and said,

-This thing here creates a spatial barrier upon infusion of mana. We have 20 days. Learn as much as you can from this. Then after my departure continue the stopped research with these new data.

Shamal's eyes were shining like stars. When Shamal took the medallion he was careful as if he had been carrying a C4 explosive. He said,

-This, this... how much we suppose to learn in 20 days. This is too short.

-I would like to give you more time but unfortunately we don't have a say in this matter.

-Okay, I shall get to work right away.

Saying that his father went out with hurry. Remaining was his mother. He said,

-Okay, mother. Can you teach me, what should I bring with me as dowry for her?

-Oh ho, my little baby boy has grown up and wants to do things on his own now, huh????

She came over to Ranga's side started to pinching his ear with great force while saying that.

-Au au au, mother it hurts, it hurts. Okay it was my mistake. Please arrange everything I need for me to crossover and dowry for my future wife.

Hearing that Xilin released his ear and said,

-That's more like a good boy. You just concentrate on research with your father. Let everything else with me. Okay.

-I am a grown up man now mom. Stop calling me boy.

Hearing that she hugged him and said,

-Oh you always will be my baby boy. You shall understand once you become a father yourself. Not that you shall understand a mother's love, but at least you would be able to understand how your father feels for you. Speaking of which, don't forget to bring over our grandchildren once if figure out how to cross over between two world okay.

-Mom, I ... Okay mom, I definitely shall.

.

.

.

Time passed too quickly. Ranga and Shamal were immersed in studying the medallion and Xilin started to prepare things for her son. Eventually, 18 days have been passed. Only 2 days remains before he is re-summoned. They are almost finished with their study of the medallion. What is astonishing is the inherent matter of the said medallion is changed by some unknown law of the universe. Even though it looks like gold, it's physical properties are same as gold, the nucleus of the atom is in constant flux state interfered by a third force rather than strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force. And when they comes into contact of mana, these atoms convert them into space-time law and as a whole forms a spatial barrier. What's frustrating that they couldn't identify what's causing the atoms to act as such, the third force or law is the answer to this whole problem.

Suddenly Ranga said,

-Father is it possible that the transformation those atoms are caused by a bloodline magic?

-Very much possible son. But let's not hope that, as then all our effort shall be for naught.

-Father, as far as I remember, last time time we conducted this research, we found that our clan members can make a object hold mana for limited amount of time, am I right?

When Shamal heard that his eyes lit up,

-Son you mean...

-Why don't we look into that?

As they were about to be immersed into their research again, Xilin came and said,

-You two haven't got out of lab for 5 days! Ranga, you have only two days left. Sd, you need to prepare. And you too Shamal, need to freshen up. Even though you are the strongest man on the planet, that doesn't mean you should neglect your hygiene and other daily necessities. You need to take shower, sleep, shave and then eat something.

When both of them saw her angry face, they reluctantly nodded,

-Yes, mam....

.

.

.

In a big room in their house, Ranga is with his mother. He looked at the things gathered and said,

-Mom, didn't you go little overboard?

-Not at all, I actually went low key.

-This... is... low key...

-Yes, my dear son. Don't forget what you are bringing is dowry for queen. Comparing with other's this way below low key.

-You know what... never mind. Just give me a brief over what's in these things.

-First and foremost, you won't be able to live without modern gadgets, but to keep them running you would need a power source. But you cannot go with the fuel based power source as there is no fuel in the other world. Be it gasoline or coal. So, you need something that can run on renewable energy. Then I thought why need them if we give you that can run for 50 years on it's own without any problem and maintenance. So, I imported latest model mini fusion reactor (Author note: Fictional) meant for medium sized labs. It is already initiated. You just have to pull this lever and it is good to go. It shall supply you 100 KW of electricity for 50years without any problem.

Ranga was speechless. Not to mention the cost of this thing, you cannot simply get this without sufficient connection.

-Next your daily necessary appliances. I bought you a 6 door refrigerator, a hybrid oven, a vacuum cleaner, an air conditioner, 3 ceiling fan, 5 stand fan, 20 LED lamp with necessary LEDs provided, a water geyser, a water purifier with cartridges worth 10 years. 2 year worth of soap and shampoo for both you and your bride, a complete set of cosmetics for your bride, 2 hard shelled extra large travel trolley of cloths for you and 5 for your bride. Ow, this careful with this bag as it contains jewelry for her. There is 2 complete dinner set too. I bet they will stunned seeing these. Next up, this of real importance. This is 240 qubit quantum computing system, for research purposes also capable of neural interfacing and uploading(Author: Fictional). I hope this shall be helpful when teaching and researching over there. As for display system, I would like to go for holographic systems but you like virtual reality more so I went with both. I collected practical knowledge over mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology in this HDD for your use that I can get my hands in this short period. For your entertainment, I collected some games and movies that new generation like to pass your free time which I doubt you would have. Try to live as a young man for once, not some dedicated soldier. Ohh that reminds me, I also recorded recipes for your favorite dishes. I know you would be back in a few years. But still... Oh here is the hard drive on MES. I also packed 30 rim of paper and a latest model official purpose printer. You wont need it, but perhaps others will. Well, that should be it.

Ranga was blankly looking at her mother. Seeing that his mother asked,

-What?

-Nothing...

-Oh I almost forgot, These here are your personal weapons and emergency supply. Keep the emergency supply on your back in case something goes wrong and only you get summoned.

-What's in there?

-Survival equipment and glass marbles.

-Why glass marbles?

-You said, there is no glassware in the other world. So, I thought they would probably treat the perfectly round and transparent marbles as jewels. They would treat the dinner set as same too but you cannot sell those. So, use those glass marbles as starting investment for your business over there.

Ranga saw cases of weapons and a military purpose tracking back lying. Ranga sighed and said,

-I don't know what would I do without you mom.

His mom only shook her head saying,

-Silly child....

-Okay, let's get over with the neural upload of the usage and setup process for these this things.

-Yes, lets go.

[Author note: Neural upload is directly write information in brain as neural signals using quantum computer. Fictional. For understanding purpose, it is similar to learning something in the movie matrix, but not that easy as it require the brain to have higher capacity and a inherent talent. Same reason as everyone cannot become MES. And also this is how our MC learned everything in one year during age 4 - 5, while even normal geniuses take 4 to 5 years to digest those all information. ]

So, two days went by in a flash. Ranga from morning started to wait for the summoning in the middle of a lot of things wearing tactical armors (his battle gears) inside and black shirt, black pant and red trench coat outside. He continuously poured mana in the medallion and kept the barrier up all the time and his parents were waiting outside the barrier. After 3 hours of long waiting the summoning came. When Ranga felt the space fluctuation, He said shouting,

-Father, mom. Be prepared. I shall definitely come back in few years. I shall definitely going to avenge brother. Just wait for me.

Releasing tears from eyes they said,

-Take care, son.
