Tianlong Academy - 2

Alex, who was in deep thought, asked Monia curiously. "Should we go with this fiance act all the way?"

Monia nodded her head heavily. However, Alex didn't think much about it, as he felt it was kinda fun to act like this.

Alex then finally laid his eyes on how the campus was.

There was a huge dome at one corner that looked like a stadium for fighting. A field for that stretches out on both ends of the wall and finally the academy's main building. It was shaped like a curving wave. From up, high in the sky, it looked like a coiling dragon.

'They really went with the name.' Alex pondered to himself as he and Monia entered the building.

.....

Gapko's office.

Knock Knock

"Come in," Gapko said, sitting in his chair.

The door opened, and from it, Alex and Monia entered.

"Come sit," Gapko told them to sit beside Yuki, where there was two more chairs present.

After sitting down, Alex talked first. "Sir, my name is Alex, the future husband of Monia. I want to ask, what did Yuki do that you had called us here?"

Yuki's face twitched upon hearing that, but he didn't make any noise.

Gapko said, resting his right elbow on his chair. "Mister Alex, do you know how Yuki was when he got admitted here?"

"How was he?" Alex asked back.

"He was among the top scorers, and the potential he showed had piqued many teachers' attention. But in this one month, he didn't make any progress. He can't even use any kind of power." Gapko rested his chin on a stand that he made with his hand. "And you know we value potential and strength most. So, seeing Yuki as completely useless, we decided to expel him."

Monia and Yuki's hearts broke immediately when they heard it. They both simultaneously stood up and bowed to Gapko.

Yuki with tears in his eyes."Sir, please don't expel me. I beg you, please. I promise I will not be stagnant. I will become stronger."

Gapko pulled out a piece of paper from it and showed it to them. "This is decided by the teacher's committee, and the headmaster also signed it."

Yuki lost all hope and bowed like that, silently. Monia, who still hadn't given up, started to panic.

"Hmm, mhm,mmh," Monia started showing different signs and indicated to let them have one more chance. But that couldn't melt Gapko's heart, as he was experienced in this type of thing already.

Tap(2)

"Come on, you guys. You don't have to beg. Begging is for the weak, and you are making Sir Gapko look like a savior." Alex patted both of the brother and sister's shoulders and told them to straighten up. "We will leave here. I believe Sir Gapko is useless as he couldn't be of any of your help."

Alex took Yuki's bag from the couch and put it on him. Then he dragged both of them outside.

They were about to go out, but Gapko's sudden voice stopped them.

"Bunch of ants, telling me that I am useless? You know I can crush you like bugs, and nobody would question it." Gapko glared at Alex.

However, Alex smiled back. "But that would damage your reputation. So, I suggest you don't crush us."

"Also, I believe anyone can change if given the opportunity." After saying that, Alex left with both siblings.

"You think mortals can become gods if you give them just a small chance? I will see." Gapko said to himself as his door shut down itself.

...

Coming outside the gate.

The guard asked."Was everything okay?"

Alex rubbed his head, indicating he was annoyed. "No, all went horrible, and now we have to worry about new things. But thanks for asking.." He looked at his nameplate. "..Gale."

"No, no, it's okay." Gale waved his hands with a smile.

Alex called a cab and shoved the siblings inside. Then he also went in.

Throughout the whole journey, Alex felt that he was guiding lifeless dolls.

Arriving at their home, he opened the backyard door and let them sit there.

He went outside and gave the manager a call. He gradually told him everything that happened and said that Monia might not be able to come to work today.

"You also stay with them; they are at a loss now. They might do something stupid. Stay with them." Jahir said seriously.

Alex didn't expect his manager to have such a big heart. He would always help his juniors without thinking of the company. "Thank you, boss. I will take care of them."

After that, Alex disconnected and went to sit with them.

Alex asked Yuki, who had his head down. "What do you want to do now?"

"I do not know," Yuki whispered to himself.

"Hey, it isn't the end of the world. There are many ways you can grow." Alex shrugged his shoulders.

Yuki sprung up and grabbed Alex's collar with his both hands.

"What do you know? I got into that academy with everything we had! They had the best teachers, and they could help someone useless like me grow." Yuki cried out loud and screamed, venting himself out. "Now, I have lost that chance! Just like you said, who will teach a useless guy like me? WHO!?"

Alex's eyes widened as something inside his mind started to awaken. It was his past memories that he locked deep in his mind. Now, this triggered him to open something related to it. He saw he was also begging everyone for teaching him but no one did, so he gained strength all by himself. It was from his first reincarnation.

Alex shoved Yuki's hands away and walked towards the door, and rubbed his head. 'Why did this awaken? I had locked those up. Maybe Yuki's situation triggered it.'

Alex looked back at Yuki and Monia and sighed to himself. Then he suddenly remembered about yesterday. 'Maybe I can start with Yuki, my first handmade son of destiny.'
