Chapter 3: Heading Back

After a few days of resting, Ryu was finally able to get up from his bed. He got up and immediately went to a mirror and looked at his face and body. Although Ryu knew that he would be able to recover his body from his past life, he still couldn't get used to it since he thought that he wouldn't be able to get this handsome in this life.

"Damn… my body feels stiff. I should do some light exercises." Ryu said as he stretched his body. 'It's probably because I was asleep for a year' He then went ahead and did a bit of exercise to loosen up his body. After a few hours, he stopped and sat down on a chair.

"I regained my long stamina too, that's good. I wouldn't want to get easily tired in training my body to be able to wield this power. Anyway… I should really take a shower—What the fuck?" Instead of smelling something sweaty and horrible, he smelled something even better than perfumes. And as you may have thought, it was the smell of his sweat.

"What kind of bullshit… I'll just go take a shower." Ryu felt defeated by his own genetic mutation and went inside the bathroom to take a shower. After he finished, he opened the closet and wore clothes that Lilia had prepared for him.

'Lilia is a great person. Even though we don't know each other and just got recently acquainted, she really went ahead to give me a place to stay and even made clothes for me. I wished every person was like that. Alas, I can only wish.' Ryu thought as he walked out of the door to meet with Lilia and the three disciples that she had. Ryu had no chance to meet them face to face, and he wanted to introduce himself properly.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Alright, circulate your mana evenly within your body. If you do this, your body will be enhanced to a certain degree. The more mana you use, the stronger the enhancement is." Lilia taught her three disciples how to strengthen their physical bodies. After all, not all battles are fought with magic.

The three girls sat on the ground with their legs overlapping each other. They focused so hard on circulating mana that beads of sweat formed on their foreheads. Ryu looked at them with a face that said, "That's pretty good."

Seeing Ryu, Lilia beckoned him to come over, and he did so. As he neared, Lilia looked at the three and said, "You can stop for now. We have a guest."

The three of them stopped what they were doing and turned to look at me. They had big smiles on their faces which eased Ryu. He already knew that they weren't hostile, but he had not seen any kind of smile from the people he had met before except for his mother, sisters, and Yuki. Now it includes Lilia and these three. 'Though, I don't really know if they'd react the same way if I still had the same face as before.'

They stood up from where they were sitting and looked at me with delight. Then the girl with green hair looked at me and introduced herself, "I'm Anna, nice to meet you!"

"I'm Emma; nice to meet you." The light brown-haired girl said coolly with a smile. Then the girl with fox ears spoke with a big and wide smile, showing her teeth, "I'm Nala! Nice to meet you! So, so! How did you beat Master!?"

"Woah! That's quite the rush there, Nala. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ryu. It's nice to meet you three." Ryu said with a slight smile. The four of them gave each other a smile as Lilia talked, "Well, Ryu, you should join! You're my new disciple, right? Though, I do think that you can easily do my training."

----------------------------------------------------------

After that, they did a lot of training, from physical to magical. Ryu was able to complete them all, but the three girls were struggling. Due to his enhanced stamina and mana, he was not struggling at all. Though, Lilia knew that this was gonna happen, so she wasn't even shocked.

"I knew it. I told you I couldn't teach you anything. You already know almost every spell, and you can cast it without chanting. What kind of monster are you actually." Lilia told Ryu. Ryu could only laugh as he walked near to Lilia. Lilia had prepared water bottles for the four of them once they completed the training regiment of the day.

"It's good training. I really need to improve my physical body. Though I have a lot of stamina, I mostly get it due to this crazy amount of mana that I have. Physical training can improve my body structure and help me to get enough control over my mana without my bones breaking."

"That is true… So are you gonna train every day? I wanna train with you." Lilia said. Ryu placed his hand on his chin as he pondered about it. After a while, he looked at Lilia and said, "Alright, I have no problems with that arrangement."

After that, the three girls finally arrived with heavy breathes. "That was… damn tiring! PHEW! I'm beat!" Nila said as she slumped on the floor. Anna, on the other hand, looked exhausted, but she kept her smile. "Come on, Nila! We've been training for far longer than Ryu-san, but he was able to beat us by a lot! We really need to improve ourselves!"

"Ahh!! Ryu is just a monster! I even heard Master say that Ryu was a monster!" Nila looked at Ryu with a mischievous laugh. Ryu laughed lightly as he looked at Nila and Anna arguing. 'It's clear that Nila is poking fun at me. The way she acts makes her adorable. She… kinda reminds me of someone… someone in my memories….'

Ryu's head suddenly ached, and his eyes twitched. Lilia noticed this and immediately asked, "Are you alright?" Ryu forced a smile and nodded. He circulated his mana along his head to ease the pain he was feeling.

After that, Emma, who arrived after Ryu, drank quite a lot of water and talked to Ryu, "Umm, Ryu… is it? You did really impressive. Even though I started to train two years before you did, you are clearly stronger than me. You're even stronger than Master. I'm kinda motivated to try and surpass you now."

"Haha. Let's see if you can!" Ryu said with a laugh. Emma showed signs of talent. She was pretty level-headed and, in fact, powerful for someone who only trained for three years. 'If I hadn't regained my memories, mana, and body, even if I train longer than Emma, I probably wouldn't be able to catch up.'

With a smile, Emma raised her fists up, "I accept your challenge!" Ryu formed a fist with his hand as well and fist-bumped her. There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Though Ryu clearly knew that Emma wouldn't catch up to him, he knew that she could become one of the strongest.

----------------------------------------------------------

Well, that was what had happened in their first meeting. Quite interesting, to be honest. And just like that, three years have passed like the gust of wind breezing through the skies. It was really fast, but Ryu's face clearly shows that he had enjoyed that short time with these four. In fact, he had made quite some relationships with them.

Ryu walked to the kitchen to see Lilia cooking. All of them took turns cooking, and it was Lilia's turn. The aroma of the food she was cooking made Ryu smile as he approached her. Without any warning, he slapped Lilia's ass, causing her to moan ever so slightly.

"Oh! Ryu! I told you to not do that while I'm cooking!" Lilia said as she pouted, trying to make an adorable face. Ryu smiled as he leaned his face and kissed Lilia's lips. "If so, why are you not pushing me away?"

"Geez. I don't know… I don't even know why someone almost half my age turns me on so much." Lilia turned to face Ryu, embraced him, and deepened the kiss. As the kiss continued, she wrapped her legs around Ryu's waist, and Ryu pushed Lilia down the countertop. Just then, the three girls arrived.

"Hoo! That's hot!" Nila shouted while Ryu and Lilia turned to look at them with a laugh. The three girls, Nila, Anna, and Emma, had flushed faces probably from seeing their Master and Ryu getting it on this early. Though, they had no problems with it since they too….

Ryu was the one who took the girl's virginities. Even though Ryu was a virgin himself in this life, he wasn't a virgin in his past life and knows sex very well. From the tongue, fingers, and cock, Ryu had immense knowledge of sex. After all, millenniums of sexual knowledge was not something to scoff at.

"What's wrong, Nila? Are you jealous?" Ryu asked Nila playfully. Despite Nila acting mischievously, she was a timid girl if you actually know her. Behind the mask of mischievousness, she was an adorable, loving, and caring, shy girl. Nila blushed slightly as she smiled, "N-not really."

"Oh yeah?" Ryu casually walked behind her, embraced her, and lightly bit her ear. "Nyaa~! P-please," Nila moaned as she held Ryu's arms. Her legs were shaking, and her face showed pleasure. "You're so cute when you're shy, Nila."

"Geez… Let go of me for a second. I have a gift for you." Nila said, forcing Ryu to let go. With a smile on her flustered face, she tried to lock a choker on Ryu, but Ryu avoided it easily. Nila couldn't help but pout as she failed her attempt at placing a choker on Ryu's neck. "Geez! Why can you dodge so easily!"

"You really… I'm gonna get back at you" Ryu grabbed the choker on Nila's hand, and with one swift motion, he locked it on her neck. During that time, he modified the properties of the collar using his magic power and imbued it with his mana. With that, Nila was shocked by the speedy Ryu. "Nyahh! When did you!?"

"You're my pet now," Ryu whispered to Nila's ear as he nibbled on it lightly. Nila couldn't react as her face became totally red. With a laugh, Ryu let go of her and sat down at the dinner table. Nila's mind was almost blank as she touched the collar. Nila felt as if Ryu was still touching her, which made her horny. She tried to shrug it off and sat down.

Lilia then served the food and hugged Ryu, and showered him with her love. "We really… got close in these three years," Anna said with a blushing face as she played with her hair. Emma just smiled while Nila had a very embarrassed look. Lilia just laughed as she sat down.

"That is true, considering you three gave him your virginities." Lilia smiled at them as she held her chin with both her hands. The three girls' faces immediately became flushed as Anna tried to change the subject. "All right! Let's eat!"

"Hehe, Alright. Let's eat." Lilia just smirked as they all started to eat. Ryu looked at them and smiled. Although the time was short, they had formed a very deep connection. Ryu then looked at Lilia and asked, "Today is the day we go back, right?"

Lilia continued chewing until she swallowed and said, "Yea, all of our stuff is already packed. We can't miss the way out of here, or we'll be stuck for another five years!" Ryu nodded his head, and so did Anna, Emma, and Nila. After eating, they decided to swim in the sea one more time and changed into their clothes.

----------------------------------------------------------

"The gate is finally opening! I wonder what has changed for the five years we were gone!" Anna said with excitement clear on her face. Even Ryu was curious about how things had changed. Though he had seen a lot of things in his past life, he has not seen beyond modern society. Well, that's what Ryu thought. After all, he only regained a portion of his memory of reincarnating.

Then suddenly, the waves of the sea shifted, and the wind became violent. Lightning bolts crashed down on the earth as a ray of light formed. Because of the light, the clouds moved to create what seemed to be a portal. Seeing this, Ryu was sent to his thoughts. 'This is teleportation magic of high caliber… It makes me wonder who created this place…."

"Come on, we don't wanna stay here forever." Lilia beckoned at the four with a smile. All of them followed her as they entered the ray of light. After they entered, the whole island became dim as darkness encompassed it. The beam of light disappeared, and the five of them had already disappeared from the island.

----------------------------------------------------------

"It feels like a good day to fish today! All of this stuff happening around the world just makes it hard to enjoy everyday life! FIshing once in a while can really help me with my stress." A random man spoke as he got his fishing equipment ready.

As he swung his fishing rod, a beam of light suddenly appeared beside him, causing him to shriek. "Ehh! WHAT THE FUCK!?"

The wind blew violently as five figures appeared out of the beam of light. Yes, it was Ryu, Lilia, Anna, Emma, and Nila. The man's heart was beating so quickly out of shock that he fainted. Yes, he had a heart attack.

"Ahh! We're finally back! We still have to travel by helicopter, though… And I hate heights…." Nila said, clearly displeased.

"It's alright, Nila, we can hold on to Ryu when we travel!" Anna said with excitement. She looked at Ryu with a flustered face, seemingly wanting attention from the handsome man. Ryu just laughed as he patted Anna's head.

The man was clearly not noticed. 'Ahh! Am I gonna die here? Dying such an uninteresting death! I'm an embarrasment!'

While the man was thinking of how stupid his death was, Ryu noticed him. "Hey, this man is having a heart attack." He pointed at the man who slowly slid down from the dock and fell on the water.

"Oh, we can easily fix that," Lilia spoke as she snapped her fingers. A magic circle formed on her hands, and using magic, she pulled the man straight out of the water. With an angry smile, Lilia closed her eyes to the extent that she could still see. "Alex, you are one of my business partners. Why are you this easily frightened? And where is the helicopter?"

Hearing Lilia's voice, the man suddenly awakened from his 'Heart Attack' and was faced with shock, "Oh fuck! I forgot you were coming back today! Long time no see, Lilia! I'm gonna contact the pilot for a second!"

The man named Alex rushed away and called for someone using a highly advanced phone. IT just appeared out of thin air. 'Technology infused with a little bit of magic… The people on this planet really are smart.' Ryu thought.

After a couple of minutes, the man came back and said, "He will be here soon! But Lilia, it's been five years, and… you look more blooming than you were before… And who is this man with you? I only remembered your disciples, but him…."

"He's Ryu. I don't even know how he appeared there, but that's for another time. Anyway, he became my disciple as well…." Lilia said proudly. But then, after a few seconds, her face turned red out of embarrassment as she whispered, "Even though I rejected him from becoming my disciple at first."

"Oho! I see… hmmm… hehehe, I think I know what's going on now. Ryu, you're doing this, right??" Alex said with a big smirk as he made on an okay sign with his hand and started poking the hole with his other hand. Lilia's face felt as if it began to steam due to the redness, and what Alex said gave Ryu quite a chuckle.

"Isn't that great! That's news for my wife! Haha! And oh! The pilot's here! I'll see you later then." Alex said as the helicopter landed on a helipad. After that, he waved goodbye as the five went on the aircraft. After a while, it flew and went ahead to go to its destination.

----------------------------------------------------------

"We're here." Lilia smiled while the helicopter landed on a helipad in the middle of the courtyard of a manor. While getting out, Ryu stretched his limbs since the two girls wrapped around his arms the whole flight. His arms felt like they were dead.

"Welcome to my manor, Ryu!" Lilia said excitedly and jumped to hug Ryu. Her crimson eye glowed, trying to seduce Ryu, but Ryu has a very high resistance to anything thrown at him. He just leaned in for a kiss to make Lilia embarrassed.

The helicopter had already flown away, and Lilia led Ryu to the mansion. There were many beautiful things about this place. A garden, an underground garage filled with luxury cars, a massive pool, a beautiful mansion. Anything that a man could wish for was right before Ryu's eyes.

'I remember that I wanted to live in a place like this with my mom and my sisters… I need to find them quickly.' Ryu thought as he followed Lilia around.

After a while, Lilia's tour ended. There were a lot of rooms in the mansion, and it was huge! Modern looking and all the things are up to date. 'It seems that Lilia had someone take care of her manor while she was gone.'

"Lilia, I need to talk about something." Ryu had a solemn face. Seeing that, Lilia nodded and led him to the living room. They both sat down on opposite sides and looked at each other seriously. "So, what do you want to talk about."

"I need you to hire a private investigator," Ryu said as he crossed his arms.

"Why?" Lilia asked. This was a weird request, but Lilia felt the seriousness in Ryu. The atmosphere surrounding him was as clear as serene waters. "I need them to find some people."

"Well, my mother and siblings should be easy… But I need them to find two other people… Those people are really important to me." Ryu spoke the last part with a twisted smile. Lilia was fear-struck, seeing Ryu make that face. From that moment, she knew that the two people he was talking about had done something unforgivable.
