The first ones to go to their room were Calvin and Michael, at first Calvin wanted to go all the way to see Loren off, but he caught a glimpse of a couple of girls with which he flirted before when he was waiting for the day of the admission exams, so he did a “tactic retreat” and Michael followed not too long later.
While Aisha accompanied the other girls to their dormitories, Daimon and Liz waited outside sitting on a bench, Liz stretched her arms thinking about the situation back at the alley.
Her voice echoed through Daimon’s mind.
“What happened earlier, for you to frown your brows it must be something serious?”.
Daimon dragged Liz closer to him and whispered to her.
“We’ll pay someone a little visit later, there are people spying on us, but they were easy to see through… but that guy is a completely different thing, I couldn’t see it until I felt a slight ill intention coming from the alley”.
After the clashes he experienced with Alexander and the people from the blue-sky galaxy, Daimon noticed some gazes directed at them here and there, but with the truth seeker eyes he could easily guess which force sent them.
He didn’t take action against them because they were star ranked students, and none of them posed a threat, but the one at the alley was different, when Daimon noticed it, he scanned the guy with the eyes of truth and couldn’t see any cultivation signs, which should be impossible if he could avoid being detected by Liz.
Aisha returned from the dormitories and they left to the mansion, while Liz felt a bit angry thinking that someone managed to escape from her scope, Daimon’s eyes glowed in violet light for a moment, he looked at the sky, the clouds covered the three moons and the cold night wind was blowing making the other students shiver.
He then looked at the girls and nearly cancelled his plans, as he imagined cuddling with his mother, Liz and Aura on the bed fully covered with a blanket.
“Whoever sent you will pay for interrupting my fun”, he thought.
They arrived at the mansion later than usual so Aura was already waiting for them, they changed clothes or in Liz case she just threw hers around and stayed in underwear, Aisha sighed as she went to prepare a quick dinner.
Seeing the needy expression on Aura’s face, Daimon lifted her and placed her on his lap, since he spent the whole day with Aisha and Liz, it was only fair for him to spoil his cute master a bit, besides he had some things to discuss with her anyway.
Aura’s tail wagged, “How was your day”, she asked as she leaned her back against Daimon and enjoyed being on his embrace.
Daimon smiled at her cute act of a wife welcoming her husband, he then started telling her the conversation he had with Gabriel.
The more Aura listened to him, the more her smile grew bigger, the payment prepared in the storage ring was enough to make an Archmage salivate, but instead of being blinded by greed, Daimon instead made Gabriel reveal his hand… and then he basically exploited him.
Aura turned around and kissed Daimon, “Although I don’t like you becoming crafty like Erin, I do think you deserve a reward ♥”.
Daimon shook his head, that’s why he was angry, because normally this would have been a fun night, but now there were other things that required his attention.
“We’ll leave that for tomorrow… there is something we need to confirm, it’s far from the academy so we’ll use space shift”.
Aura nodded, if Daimon asked her to come then it was probably something serious.
“Do you want me to call Erin too?”.
Daimon shook his head, “No, I have a slight idea of what is happening, I only need your help to confirm a few things, I will take care of the rest”.
Aisha placed the dishes on the table and everyone dug in, as always, her cooking was quite good, once they filled their stomach Daimon everyone took out a black case from their storage rings.
Seeing the contents of the case Daimon remembered the most important lessons he was taught by Aura… killing.
Daimon publicly became the young master of two big families, so it was probable that he might become a target of other family’s assassin attempts, just like Erin was when she was younger.
In this world where dog eats dog, everyone was bound to go through life and death situations at some point, so it was important for Daimon to learn how to kill because enemies won’t hesitate to do it.
A few years ago:
After Daimon went through the drastic change of his body adapting to his mental age, which changed a few things on his daily life, among them Aura increased the difficulty of his training regimen.
*Slash*, the sound of wind being teared echoed through the training room, a young man with silver hair and violet eyes was swinging a broad sword with intricate patterns on the hilt.
His image flashed from time to time around the training platform, with each swing the air trembled a clear sign that the sword generated a huge impact force.
This young man was of course Daimon, after he light up his life spark his body started maturing at a fast rate, and now after one or two years, he looked like a 16 years old teen, nut not only his physical appearance changed, his body condition and physical strength also increased exponentially.
“Phew”, Daimon stopped what he was doing, he placed the sword on the ground in front of him, his shirtless figure was glistening as sweat ran down from all his body.
“This change is quite something, now I’m able to move more freely than before thanks to increase in physical strength, what do you think Narasha”.
After a couple of seconds, a voice could be heard coming from the sword in front of him.
“Yes, I can feel the change, before there was a slight lag on your movements, because the drawback of each swing was a bit too much for you to handle, but now you can constantly attack without any problem”.
Daimon nodded, he stretched his body to help his muscles relax, he took off the shackles of despair and then dispelled Gram’s transformation so Disaster returned to its original form, before he kept it on his storage.
While he was drinking water waiting for his body to cool down to take a bath, Daimon saw the girls entering the training room.
“Mm?”, he was a bit confused, today was Aura’s turn so while seeing Erin and Aisha also attending his training, Liz and Elaine had other things to do, not only that but they had a slightly solemn expression which made him worry a bit.
“What happens you all?”, he asked.
Aisha took a few steps ahead of the others and looked at her son directly to his eyes.
“Darling, I talked with the others and since we aren’t that far from leaving the Revy family to attend the academy… it’s time for you to learn how to kill”.
“On these past years I have taught you how to wield a sword, but all the training of the world is meaningless if you are not ready to finish your enemies off”, said Aura with a solemn voice.
Erin saw Daimon frowned expression and she sighed.
“Even if we are not in war, outside of the Revy family you’ll be more exposed to other people’s schemes… back then I nearly lost my life because I hesitated to cut the throat of someone”.
Daimon shook his head, he knew this day would come sooner or later and to be honest he has thought of this for a long time, the hatred he had for the Naktis family won’t disappear until he shoves his sword in Victor’s heart.
That being said, thinking and acting are two completely different things, even if back on earth when that scum of a father he had got drunk and beat him, he fought back, it wasn’t to the point where they aimed for the lives of each other.
“It’s fine, if you didn’t mention it, I would have asked for it anyway… but what do you have in mind, it’s not like we can just go to a random village to kill someone?”.
Aura nodded, seeing Daimon’s reaction, she was proud of the strong will, the youth who would become her mate in the future have.
“We will take you to a special place for that, but I won’t give you any more details, and you will be on your own once we get there, okay?”.
Daimon contemplated things for a moment, he now understood why Aisha looked worried, but he knew none of the girls will do anything to harm him intentionally.
“Okay, let’s go”.
Erin saw the fire of determination burning on Daimon’s eyes and she smiled before suing dark curtain and space shift, they all disappeared from the training room.
Daimon took out a shirt of his storage ring, there was no need to bath since he would be getting dirty in a moment anyway, instead he closed his eyes and meditated to prepare himself for what was about to happen.
After an unknown amount of time, Liz’s voice woke him up from his trance.
“We are here little Daimon”.
Daimon opened his eyes and he saw they were floating above an island in the middle of nowhere, the sea around had such a horrible current that when it hit the rocks near the shore, they exploded due to the impact.
They descended from the sky and Erin handed him a badge with the sun and moon emblem of the Revy family.
“We won’t be accompanying you… just follow that trail and you will reach a black fortress where you will get instructions”, said Erin as she pointed at a trail which crossed the forest of the island.
Daimon nodded and the girls disappeared from his sight, whether they were hidden using dark curtain or they truly left using space shift, he didn’t know it since he was yet to develop the truth seeker eyes.
