Heading To Spring High Academy

A month has gone by since I came back and I still haven't met her yet. Am I nervous or afraid that she'll be upset that I haven't' seen her since being back but I have a reason for that (Joschwa)

[The Ruthless And Merciless Kale Is Actually Afraid Of Something As Little As That Huh]

When it comes to family and friends, old habits die hard no matter how ruthless, cunning and merciless I've become now but… (Joschwa)

[But What?]

<Sighing> Soon I'll have to busy myself for a bit (Joschwa)

[Well It's Not Like You Have To Do Everything By Yourself Now]

You're right it doesn't have to be like that anymore besides I've already established/took over some companies and other things have all become stable now all that's left is to start creating a guild. Just like the companies I'm the unknown owner, afterall the shadows are more free (Joschwa)

[What About Them?]

You mean my family? (Joschwa)

[No Those Guilds And Families Who Has Been Snooping Around Trying Go Get Information About The Owner]

That's why I put it a figurehead so they can get what I let them find out plus even if they knew who the true owner was, they could do nothing about it (Joschwa)

[Nothing To You But What About Your Friends And Family But You Can Exclude Your Parents, They Could Somehow Since The Figurehead Has Been Seen With A Few Of Them Before Even Only Once They'll Think That Might Be Connected To Him And Try To Harm/or Capture Them]

You should know that I've already place shadow clones on them so no one can harm them (Joschwa)

[What About When They Start To Come]

Before that I'll help them grow stronger and that's one of the reasons for this guild I presume (Joschwa)

[Are You Going To Change Their Bloodlines And Get Them Skills, Weapons And Potions From The Store]

That's What I Have Been Working On For The Past Week Now But I Added Two Important Skills For Them (Joschwa)

[What Are They?]

{Shadow Transverse} and {Self Heal} but the first skill will only allow them to traverse through the shadows for about 50km in all directions. If there's a threat to their lives it will automatically send them home. The second skill will help them heal/recover their mana, injuries and stamina but only to about 60%  unless they have a skill that heals them already then it will stack heal (Joschwa)

[Wouldn't They Overload In Mana If They Have A Skill That Heals/Recovers More Than 40% With The Stack]   

That's why I made it so the skill will store the excess mana away to slowly strengthen their mana core and body. (Joschwa)

[So What Are You Going To Do]

I believe it's time I get rid of some vermins then start focusing on making a guild (Joschwa)

Getting up from the bed in his old room he slept in before disappearing, he looked around a little more reminiscing about his younger self. 

I didn't tell them everything and I decided to leave out my true age and the system since it's not time for that *Joschwa*

Appearing from the shadows was a man in his mid 20s who was a vampire as he was pale with crimson red diamond shaped pupils and about 1.85m tall wearing all black with a dragon with fangs logo on his back. He's an elite member of Joschwa's secret group called The Guardians, they do more than the name suggests like assassinations, espionage and protection. He kneel behind Joschwa 

Sir I brought the information you asked for (The Elite Member)

It's everything ready (Joschwa)

Yes sir just waiting on your orders (The Elite Member)

Okay… tell them to begin I'll be there by noon (Joschwa)

Yes sir, then I'll be leaving sir (The Elite Member)

Oh Kurt (Joschwa)

Yes sir (Kurt)

You don't have to keep calling me sir all the time you know, we've been through this many times (Joschwa)

Kurt didn't say anything just stood there even though he knows he doesn't have to call Joschwa sir but Joschwa saved him from a life of endless torture so being one of the elite oldest members of the group, he respects him a lot.

<Sighing> I'll see you later Kurt (Joschwa)

Yes sir (Kurt)

Kurt vanished into the shadows and left to do what was ordered of him. Joschwa turned to look out the window as it was early morning just shake his head at Kurt saying

It really became a habit for him huh.. Well it's fine I guess… Now time for breakfast, it's been too long since I had mom's cooking (Joschwa)

Walking out his room he met his older brother who had stayed just like Lyn since Joschwa came home after so long. 

Good morning big bro where's the rest are they already downstairs (Joschwa)

Morning J… yeah they're all downstairs already, the kids are getting ready for school and Marcella and I have work today but we're able to pick them up from school (Ron)

You're talking about Interflex Co. and Woodlands Real Estates, owned by the Frairfax Family. It seems they are the fourth strongest family but one of the wealthiest family in Spring City (Joschwa)

Yeah just by being one of the wealthiest they shouldn't have to worry about enemies that much since they could buy powerful people and expensive potions, weapons and skills to increase their strength but they tend to not want to rely on outside help much and I admire them for that (Ron)

Sometimes to survive getting help from some people more powerful and influential than yourself isn't always bad. I do understand them though (Joschwa)

Yeah (Ron)

They got downstairs and headed to the dining room where the rest of their family are. Taking their seats, Ron sat in the middle of his wife and son as his daughter sat to the left of him and his wife on his left also. His mother is beside his wife and his father is at the end of the table.

On the other side to the left of his father is Lyn, Sellie, Mel the twin sisters and lastly Joschwa. Night, Shadow, Sheva, Colvin and Rain are away in other continents finding worthy people to join the guild he's about to start. 

Right now he has made the building for the guild, the insignia, name, etc. He's now waiting on members and registering it with the government, tower and dungeon associations. He'll just let someone else do all that as he remains in the shadows.

As they started eating Elisha asked Joschwa something that made him cough 

So Josh did you do you meet any girl why you were there 

Ahem I did but I was too busy (Joschwa)

Hmm then why haven't you met little April yet, it's been a month now and you specially told us not to tell her because it's something you wanted to do. We had to lie to her when she came while you were out a couple days before. Since it seems like she thought you were back from the name John had mentioned she was probing to find out if it was the same person. And now that it seems like it's not true she has been feeling depressed as she was when you disappeared (Elisha)

I understand mom, it's just that I don't want to see her crying and… (Joschwa)

Josh when you do tell her it's going to be even worse you know think about it and tell her before she finds out in an unconventional way or you'll end up being ignored by her (Elisha)

Yes mom I'll get to it before that happens (Joschwa)

Good because we all know you two had feelings for each other since you were seven years old,just wasn't old enough to tell yet (Elisha)

R-really (Joschwa)

As he said that he looked at his father, brother and Lyn as they smiled indicating it's true and since the twins are three years younger than him they wouldn't understand at that time even less than him. 

That obvious (Joschwa)

Yes (Will/Eli/Ron/Lyn)

Ahem, Mel,Sellie hows the training been going (Joschwa)

Changing the subject like always we see (Will)

Somethings never change haha (Ron)

Well it has been going fine but we want new weapons (Melkalina)

And learn more skills of other manipulations that we're able to (Selondra)

Oh well I can help with that (Joschwa)

Huh you can how (Melkalina)

I'll tell you later actually I have something for everyone but I'll give it to you all later. So on that note I'll be going now I have some things to take care of (Joschwa)

As he finished his plate he got up and gave the guys handshakes and hug the girls but not without kissing his mom on the cheeks and saying bye as he walked out the door

I still can't believe that's a mask he's wearing it look and feels so real (Elverlyn)

I know what you mean he seems different more calculative to his decisions and not as energetic as before (Ron)

I wonder what he has been through these past ten years he seems out of it at times (Elisha)

Don't worry he'll be fine, he just need more time adjusting to being back and sometimes it's not a bad thing (Will)

It's like he lost something that can't be replaced (Elverlyn)

Just give him time he'll tell us about it on his own but I wonder how strong he really is because it seems he's only a Beginner C Rank. Looking at him I can tell that's not true he much stronger than that I just don't know how much yet (Will)

I don't know dad but I did hear that the Lyns, Krus, Klines, Drexs, Clays and the Lotus Guild have started making some movements as of late. I believe it has something to do with their young masters mysteriously dying that day but people are saying it's Joschwa who did it (Elverlyn)

Why do they think it has something to do with him if you said you all left and they were still alive (Ron)

I don't know but they said there was a person who told them it was Josh as that person said he had a conflict with Robert so that think he has something to with their deaths too (Elverlyn)

What did Josh say about all this (Selondra)

He said that it's not a big deal and if they come after anyone close to him then that will be their last breath (Elverlyn)

He really has changed but do he think it'll end just like that or it'll be that easy, it's more than six forces that will want to kill us and him (Ron)

Don't worry he'll be fine and so will we (Elisha)

Afterall they haven't tried anything yet because they don't know how strong we have become since the world has grew in mana *Will*

Well for now let's just stay on guard until this blows over (Will)

What if it becomes a huge problem later on (Melkalina)

Then you have permission to release the first one (Will)

Good because I had to not to pretend to look weak and that was humiliating (Elverlyn)

I know sorry sweetie but it's for a good reason since we were told not to unless need be and it seems you didn't need to so that's good isn't it (Elisha)

I know mom but still haa well are we just going to go about it normally (Elverlyn)

Yes for now and I'm sure Josh has already made arrangements long ago (Will)

Okay then I got to go, my friends are meeting me at the hospital to visit Drew (Elverlyn)

How's he doing (Elisha)

Much better but we can tell he's depressed about his mana core being destroyed (Elverlyn)

I'm sure with his friends around he'll get through it (Elisha)

Alright bye I'll be back later (Elverlyn)

Everyone said bye to her as she left to meet her friends at the hospital where Drew was. Even though his body is healed his mind hasn't  yet but it's a lot better when he realised he truly became useless now. But with his friends and a few family members he has been doing much better than before. 

Oh honey we have to go before the kids and you are late (Marcella)

You're right John, Kay let's go tell grandpa, grandma and your aunts bye (Ron)

Yes dad, bye grandpa, grandma, aunt Mel, and aunt Sellie (Johnathan/Kayla)

Come give us a hug before you go sweeties (Elisha)

Okay (Johnathan/Kayla)

They went and gave a hug to all of them then said their byes again as Marcella said bye to them also.    

What you two doing today (Will)

We're going to go shopping with our friends at noon we're going to go get ready see you later mom, dad (Melkalina)

See you later (Selondra)

They went up stairs to get ready as it's only 3 hours before noon now but they take some time to get ready and then head to Sea Pearl Mall that's downtown but it'll take some time to get there as they can't fly in city limits. Being that they're about 40 minutes away from the mall they soon left saying bye to their parents leaving them home alone. 

Do you think we have to make a move ourselves soon? (Elisha)

Maybe but that's the last thing I want to do but our families might make a move on them if they catch wind of it (Will)

That won't be good, you know how my mother gets let alone yours (Elisha)

That's why we try to block as much as possible or they'll make us return to that dimension. The only reason they let us come here was because I'm not the oldest and we must communicate twice a year with them. As that was only possible with the interdimensional device that our joint family developed years before we left remember (Will)

Yeah I remember and they also had a way to come here and check on us which we were highly against but you know how they are haa (Elisha)

<Sighing> Let's just relax for know and take things at a steady pace okay (Will)

You're right (Elisha)

As they hugged each other and kissed as Will thought

Headaches everywhere just don't think you'll get away with touching our family 

Joschwa who arrived at the Lyn's family manor not long ago was looking at the heads, elders, and a few other young masters of the other families that are also here. The Lotus Guild higher up members like the guild master, vice guild master, and some elite members were also  here. 

They were all shivering with fear as they saw a young man who looked to be in his late teens but they didn't care about that. They could feel an overwhelming pressure from him and they knew he was the one behind why all of them are here and that he's the most dangerous one.

You all must be wondering why you're here and who we are but to be honest you don't need to know as you all will ceased to exist after today (Joschwa)

W-what do you mean (Head Of The Kru Family)

Do you know who place this is, do you think any of you can leave here alive (Head Of The Lyn Family)

Oh but do you know who I am and how irrelevant your life is too me (Joschwa)

Y-you do you think I don't have any powerful backers… If you kill us the Vernens will…. (Head Of The Lyn Family)

Before he could finished using the Vernen Family name to threaten Joschwa with he was killed by a man in all black that is now standing beside Joschwa

Kurt I wasn't finished with him yet you know (Joschwa)

Sorry sir I will… (Kurt)

It's fine I was about to kill him anyway now do any of you want to bring up your other backers because now's the time. Just let me warn you I could care less who they are because there's only one end for them if they cross me and that's the example (Joschwa)

As he pointed to the head of the Lyn's family who had his head cut off without an ouch of blood coming out as they could visibly see his body disappearing in front of them as that made them even more frightened and think to themselves how did they offend such a ruthless person.

W-who are you and w-why are you after us. If we offend you in any way we apolo… (Head Of The Kline Family)

Oh I was getting to who I was well I'm the one you all wanted to deal with because of your sons and young masters (Joschwa)

Y-you're the one who killed our sons (Head Of The Drex Family)

<Evil Grin> Yes and you seem to think going after my family and friends in secret was a smart idea but that's was the dumbest mistake you all could make against someone like me (Joschwa)

So what you killed our sons and now that you're here what makes you think we shouldn't deal with you know (Head Of The Clay Family)

Because I investigated everything your families have done and believe me it's nothing compared to what I've done but don't take my word for it you'll see. Your sons even though they were in an illusion, they weren't innocent in any way so why shouldn't I get rid of vermins like them and you all (Joschwa)

Y-you, you can't. We all have the Vernens as our backer and they are a secluded family which you shouldn't mess with plus some power guilds too so let us go and… (Head Of The Drex Family)

Didn't you hear what I told the head of the Lyns earlier or did you think I was joking as you can see he's no longer here (Joschwa)

<Gulping> Y-yes b-but it's deeper than you think so it's best if you (Head Of The Drex Family)

Just remember my name is Joschwa Walter once you're in the underworld… Kurt you all know what to do but leave some figureheads for me I have some use for them (Joschwa)

Yes sir (Kurt)

Looking at his mana watch it has already been an hour since he came and he decided to leave to do something more important

[Are You Going To See Her Now]

Yes, is she there today *Joschwa*

[No She Has Went To The Spring High Academy To Help Out With The New Batches Of Students This Year As They Came From Other Cities And Continents Also]

Oh interesting they didn't do that before even though I didn't have a chance to go there but I never heard of them doing that I wonder why and how long now. I'll just have to find out while seeing her *Joschwa*

Leaving he could hear the people inside screaming and crying as some of them were being killed 

Looks like some people from that family they mention have been spying on us since I came.. Well they will soon find that out that I let them go… April I wonder if you'll forgive me for waiting so long to see you *Joschwa*
