chapter 11

-POV Max

As we got to a big estate the carriage suddenly stopped and the driver said that we have reached our destination. we said our goodbyes to the people we have been traveling with before we got out of the carriage with our bonds Art was carrying Sylvie while Zeus was walking beside us. when we got to the door I stood a bit back from Art so I wouldn't rune his reunion.

''we're finally home are you ready?'' Art questions before he knocks on the door.

''coming!!'' a voice of a little girl was heard a few seconds later.

when the door opened and an elderly maid was seen and asked '' may I help you two?''

''er, nice to meet you. my name is Arthur Leywin and behind me is my friend Max. I was informed that my family is currently Residing in this manor.'' he said with a bow

''As Art said my name is Max it is a pleasure to meet you,'' I said with a bow the same as Art's.

''Leywin?!'' the maid said in shock

''who...'' As we heard a voice we both looked down to see a little girl looking at Arthur in puzzlement.

just then we heard a shout '' Eleanor Laywin! there you are! what did I say about greeting everyone who knocks on the....door.'' a woman said trailing off at the end just before dropping the bole in her hand.

''Elenor Laywin? My sister'' Art said starting to tear up before wiping his eyes ''wait, before that, hi mom I'm home'' with tears running down their faces they embraced.

''I knew that voice was really you! Yes, yes, you're back now! my baby is home now.'' Alice said while crying

just then a massive man came and embraced them as well.

after a minute they all moved to the living room the maid before invited me in as it seemed Art has forgotten about me but I was alright with that because I didn't want to answer a bunch of questions. As we got to the main living room I counseled my presents so I could rest my eyes because I could not sleep last night as I was too excited that I was going. I lent on Zeus because he decided to sit next to me and drifted state to sleep.

I was awakened by a loud voice saying '' That's right! Your mana core stage are you at now? I'm dark orange stage!'' he shouted

Art then said '' you must have worked really hard... I'm light red but I'm nothing compared to this monster.'' he said pointing at me.

''light red?! holy shit! and sorry I didn't notice you in the back but sorry if it sounds rude but what stage are you at?'' he said to me.

I then looked at him ''it's fine I was counseling my presents to have a quick nap my name is Max and I am Arthur's friend and training partner I actually broke through to initial silver two days ago.''

everyone but Art and Eleanor looked at me in utter disbelief and after a barrage of questions, they finally settled down. Arthur's dad then looked at his son and said '' Art how about we go into the garden for a spar, right now.'' he demanded

just as we were going into the back garden, Vincent Helstea came in and said ''Rey! I just heard that your son is alive?!'' he said before he saw that we were all going into the garden and asked ''what is going on?'' before the rest of his family walked in

Art's father quickly started to introduce Art '' Vincent I would like to introduce you to my son Arthur'' he said proudly before looking at me and said, to Vincent and his family shocked as I forget to turn off presents counseling and it is at a low level so if you see me you will get immune to it '' And this is my son's friend Max an heis traveling with Arthur'' he said introducing me to him.

I quickly got up and did a short bow while saying'' thank you for letting me into your home,'' he looked at me still in shock that he didn't even notice me, and said ''it... it's alright it's good to meat you Max'' after we were finished conversing Art got his attention and did a deep bow while saying '' its a pleasure to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Helstea. I know it might come as a surprise to you that I was the one that asked them not to tell how I was, so allow me to apologize for the confusion.'' he said politely

As the families contoured to get to know each other I quickly made my way to Art who was talking to Tabitha Helstea and her daughter Lillia and said to him ''Art I think I am going to leave to find an in, to stay at I will said you the address tomorrow,'' I said before I headed to the door with Zeus. But before I could tack one step Tabitha who heard my conversion with Art looked at me and said '' you don't need to find an in you could stay here with us if you know where else to go.'' looked at hear '' are you sure I will not like to impose?'' I ask her and she replied '' Of course not and a young boy such as yourself shouldn't be left alone..'' I quickly bowed and said'' thank you for letting me into your home'' before looking at Zeus, who she was looking at '' by the way this is Zeus and he is my bond, he is not dangerous so you could pet him if you would like'' I said and she instantly did just that.

END

(An sorry if the end felt a bit out of place that is because I want tomorrow's chapter to be more detailed and not rushed fights because that's the bits that I love writing the most and I hated how rushed the spar with Alea felt and if you're worried about the MC already being a silver then don't because he won't reach white till the start of the war or in the middle as he will be more focused on his swordsmanship I will also like to let you know that I have no intention of dropping this fanfic so is I don't upload for one to two days it probably that I want to make that chapter perfect or that I started writing to lete in the day like this chapter but I will try my best to post once a day. so that's everything that I wanted to tell you. bye and thank you for reading.)
