"Hahaha now now, Let's meet my father and then Sir Miguel"

While on their way to meet Ray's father, Zed also suggest them to meet with The shadow group. It's been a year since they visit The shadow HQ.

"Ah alright then after we meet with my father and Sir Miguel we will go to The Shadow HQ"

"Heh, Time flow so fast I can't believe it's been a year"

This time Ryo the one that start a conversation.

"Ah yes, You still remember how we three become a friend"

"Well I don't want to talk about it"

Well it's a obvious answer from Zed because how he first met with Ray. He can't believe he become a friend with some strange bunch.

"Hahaha I still remember when you guys were fighting with each other it was fu-"

Ryo didn't even get a chance to finish his sentence, He passed out after getting a kick from Zed.

"Hahaha, You're mean Zed look what have you done to Ryo"

"But I can't forgive this bastard, Serve him right HAHAHAHA"

Zed evil laugh sent a chill to his spine, He can't believe Zed has some weird personality. Well it only activate when he heard some embarrassing moment.

After walking for a few minutes they finally reach Ray's home, Ray's home is actually not to far from Sasha. So he can meet with Sasha every time.

"Father I'm home"

"Oh welco-, Wait what happened to your friend?"

"Hahaha there was an accident"

"I see, I thought something bad happened to you guys"

"Nope not all haha"

But deep down, Ray still feel the chill from Zed's evil laugh, He tries to forget it but he can't.

"Oh you must be Zed, Let's here here"

They all gather at the living room, Ray start to explain why he want to meet his father.

"I see so you've become an adventurer"

"Yes father, You still remember my dreams right?"

"Yes of course, How can I forgot"

After talking about 30 minutes, Ryo finally back to his sense. Somehow he got a chill just by looking at Zed.

"Hahaha, You finally up kid"

"Ah Uncle I'm sorry"

Uncle? It's too young for Ray's father, Ray and Zed try to hold their laughter but they can't they laugh as loud as they can.

"You bastard!"

"HAAHAHAH too young"

"I know right HAHAHAHA"

Ryo can only sigh, After drinking some tea that offered by Ray's father they excuse themselves and goes to Sir Miguel place.

Well Sir Miguel live near the Academy, So it's only take 10 to 15 minutes. After reaching at the front door, Ray try to knock the door but the door suddenly opened.

A figure appear, With a scary glare. Ray and his friend trembling and swallow their own saliva.

"What do youuu guuuuuys waaaaant"

They terrified after hearing some spooky voice coming from the door. They skip swallowing their saliva and begin to doubt.

"Oh it's you guys come in"

But they already passed out because of the terrifying moment. Miguel quickly drag them in and close the door. Well he guess he got carried away.

5 minutes have pass, They three finally come to their sense. But after waking up they felt a chill strike their spine.

"Yo so you guys already awake"

"Uwaagh"

Terrified, They hug each other and start mumbling weird nonsense. Miguel who see them like that can't hold it anymore. He hit the three of them simultaneously.

Thanks to that they finally regain their sanity.

"Hahaha sorry guys I really got carried away this time. So what's bring you guys here"

"We just want to bid a farewell to you Sir"

"Ah I see, So you guys decided to to become an adventurer"

"Yes Sir"

"Before you guys go let me tell you my secret"

The three of them look at each other, They have so much in their mind because of the sudden statement that Sir Miguel make. But they are ready.

"Actually I'm the heir of the king of Elf, But please this is the secret only you guys and the two teacher know about me"

" Thanks for telling us Sir we will keep your secret and will bet our life on the line to keep this secret"

"Haha no need, If somehow you guys had no choice but to spill the beans you can tell them"

Somehow they feel something is not right, Judging from Sir Miguel words they must be someone looking for Si Miguel. To satisfy their curiosity Ray try to ask something.

"By any chance Sir are you being hunted by someone?"

Miguel suddenly glare at Ray, It's a glare that make him sweating.

"Yes there's someone, Let me warn you guys, If you ever encountered him please run"

Stunned by the answer, They all confuse and frustrated at the same time. It can't be help this is the first they being look down by Sir Miguel.

"Hahaha don't get a wrong idea, I'm not looking down on you guys, But for your guys level right now it's impossible. But if you can improve your skill you can eventually beat him"

After hearing that, The stiffness on their face are gone. So it's possible in the future and not now. So they got a long way to go.

"Thank you Sir we will keep that in mind"

"Haha, Alright"

Ray and his friend excuse themselves, Because it's already dark. They still want to meet Chief Zect.

"Guys it's already dark should we meet them tomorrow?"

"What are you talking about Ray, We can still manage to meet them, Stop chattering and let's go"

Ray can only smile, He can't reject their offer.

But luckily they meet the chief at some local restaurant. They are super super lucky today.

"Yo Chief"

"My oh my, Fancy to meet you guys in here"

"Ah actually sir we have to tell you something"

"Oh okay then let's sit first"

So this time Zed will do the talking, Zed is so eager to meet Chief maybe he idolize the Chief or he want to be the Chief apprentice. But for now they let all the talking to Zed.

"Ah I see so you want to go on an adventure with your friends huh, Well not bad, But just be careful demon are very active right now they even invade some territory"

"Don't worry Sir we will try our best to avoid contact with them"

"But if the fight is unavoidable, Just go for it I'm afraid that my words will chain you guys"

"We'll keep that mind Sir"

"Good, I wish your luck in your adventure make sure you guys achieve your dreams and come back safe and sound"

Finally they are ready to go but Ray has something on his mind. He want to know more about something.

"Guys can you come to my house tomorrow? I have something to do"

"You don't need to beg we will come even if you don't invite us haha"

"Alright see you guys tomorrow"

Ray totally forgot about that so he decided to know more. It can't be help his curiosity are on the top level.

"I totally forgot about you"

"Hm you never talked to me how rude of you"

"Haha I'm sorry, But I promise we will take a lot tomorrow"

"Don't think I will forgive you!"
