We arrived back at our designated "homeroom" in mere moments.
"Alright students, thatâll be all, youâre dismissed!" Instructor Vorenâs figure disappeared from the stage as the class finally got moving.
I stood up, putting my hands in my pockets as I made my way out of the classroom, monkey in tow..
......
"Do you believe me now?" A voice said as two pairs of eyes focused on Danteâs retreating figure.
One was covered, the other not.
"He is different, yes, but not a threat." A voice echoed as the youth with the covered mouth spoke with his intent.
"You do not know the true limits of his strength, after all, he is the one rumored to have inherited the abilities of the Devourer." The blindfolded youth spoke up calmly..
"The family wouldâve taken action if they truly believed that, no?"
"And risk angering A paragon and the dean of the academy? Donât be foolish my friend." The blindfolded youth smiled..
"What do you suggest?" The silent youth asked.
"Ohh, nothing, we donât have to do anything, there are plenty of others that have already taken an interest in him, all we need to do now is watch and assess, I will inform my brothers about him." The blindfolded youth smiled.
"You would involve them?"
"Of course. I wonât let anything or anyone interfer with my plans, and if that means involving my so called "competition" then so be it." The youth smiled.
"What if they succeed and get their hands on the fragment."
"Then Iâll just have to come up with another plan."
"And if they fail?"
"Then that just means one less challenger, no?"
"Youâre sick."
"I am efficient, the earlier you learn the difference, the sooner you can take control of your familyâs affairs as well." The youth with the covered mouth finally fell silent, his gaze focused on the door Dante had gone through...
"Then letâs hope your plans donât back fire."
He thought silently.
He knew his friend.
He knew how his mind worked.
He knew he never played a game he wasnât absolutely sure of winning.
Yet something about the situation involving that guy, felt off.
It felt like they were walking towards a disaster waiting to happen.
"Heh... a disaster huh? Well, Iâd love to see just how you live up to that."
The young man grinned savagely behind his mask..
.....
"Oh, seems like they finally got tired huh?" Malachi sneered..
"You felt it too?" I couldnât help asking..
"Of course I did, it was only a little bit before they started undressing us with their eyes." The monkey shivered at the thought, and I couldnât help but do the same...
"Do you know them?" I asked once more.
"They should be from the
Dreamless and Wordsealed Ancient Families."
Damn. Just my luck, more heat from ancient family heirs.
This was what? The fourth one? Fifth? I lost count.
"Theyâre actually a very powerful force, not losing out in terms of danger to the
Draken Ancient family and the Dragons nest
due to the overwhelming power of their bloodlines."
"Afterall, how do you fight people that wield the powers of
Imagination and Words
themselves?"
"The power of what?" I had to stop.
"You heard right, the
Dreamless Ancient Family,
wields power over imagination, with some having abilities that let them glimpse into fate, as for the
Wordsealed,
their terror comes from the fact that they weileded spoken word magic like it was their birthright."
"Theyâre perhaps the only family that can challenge the drakens and dragons when it comes to command over the world."
Damn. How the hell do I always find myself in such situations?
I already had the drakens gunning after my fine ass, now Iâve got snotty young masters from two other dangerous families taking an interest in me? I had no idea if it was the fragment Iâd gained or if it had something to do with that ridiculous scenario back in the eastern domain.
"Haaaa... fuck me!" I sighed as I ruffled my hair..
"Heh. No need to get all worked up."
"Hmm?"
"I mean theyâre powerful, yes, but itâs obvious they arenât without their own limits, afterall if they were the end all be all, then the world wouldâve already been theirs by now." I nodded, finding his words logical.
No one family wielding such abilities, would be content sharing space with others, so it was clear their powers werenât without drawbacks, after all, even with all that, they still werenât
mythical
bloodline wielders, I calmed down after that realization settled fully...
"Besides, youâve got the paragon of war as a teacher, youâre the last person to worry about the older generation coming after you, and I donât think youâre going to be having much trouble with the younger generation, so in all honesty, youâve got nothing to fear." The monkey shrugged..
"I wasnât afraid, I was merely tired at the thought of having to deal with all this bullshit." I sighed..
"But, you, why arenât you even remotely bothered?" I couldnât help asking, curious.
The guy hadnât once spoken about the two ancient families with any awe or reverence in his tone.
"Me? Heh.. those guys would be lucky if I didnât go looking for their own trouble instead, forget about them daring to look for mine." The monkey scoffed.
It would seem I still had a lot to learn about my new monkey friend...
......
"Okay... now... just what the hell is this?" I couldnât help groaning as I finally arrived at my manor, opening the doors, just to get blinded by a row of raised, voluptuous, perfectly shaped asses that were being suffocated by the tightest pairs of yoga? Pants Iâd ever seen..
Iâd separated from the monkey earlier, needing some urgent rest, but now, I was honestly thinking about going back out..
Iâd forgotten the fact that I was currently living with the embodiments of temptation, and Iâd unfortunately walked in on a very stimulating sight..
"Now, what are you girls doing in such ridiculous poses." I couldnât help asking once more, trying and failing miserably to take my eyes off the raised posteriors..
"Is that Dante? Oh! Heâs back!" Caraâs excited voice reached my ears as a blur of blue slammed headfirst into my outstretched arms...
"Heh.. missed me that much?" I laughed gently as I hugged her, her warmth grounding me quietly as the stress from the day drained away slowly..
"What took you so long?" Cara pouted.
"Sorry, our own excursion lasted a full 24hrs," I smiled.
"Really? I thought weâd be going together so imagine my disappointment when I realized the elite class was going to be separate." She pouted, arms crossed over her chest.
"Then I guess you shouldâve frozen that Apollo guyâs tits off when you had the chance no?" I kissed her, our tongues dancing together..
"Donât worry.. Iâll be sure to pay him back soon enough." Her eyes glinted with a murderous glow as we broke our kiss..
My attention finally returned to the women still maintaining their very stimulating postures..
"Now, can anyone tell me whatâs happening?"
"Meditative poses, ever heard of them?" Khalifa replied, irritated..
"I donât think meditative poses are meant to look like whatever it is you girls are doing."
"Canât help it, this much sexiness canât be fought. Fufufu" Kailaâs teasing voice sounded out..
"Wow.. so humble, your humility astounds me." I sneered..
"Stop looking at us, you pervert!!!" Khalifa yelled out in embarrassment..
"Stop giving me such a view then!" I retorted..
"This bastard!"
"Hah! Meditative poses my ass, that stuff only works on people that are actually calm and level headed, I donât know what that exhibitionistic elf is doing deceiving herself."
"Thatâs it, you bastard, get ready to die."
"Hah!! Donât think Iâm the same man you met during the ceremony!" I laughed, running away..
"Sigh... there goes our calm and silence." Mira sighed ruefully...
"Well, a full 24 hours of no fighting and yelling? Iâd take that deal any day. Fufufu." Kaila laughed...
"Heh.. I guess youâre right." Mira smiled as well..
"GET BACK HERE YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!!"..
"DAMN! Look at those boobs sway! I LOVE IT!!!"
"DANTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
.....
Creeeaaakkk....
The noise of my opening door reached my ears as a smile appeared on my lips..
I had hoped to get some much needed rest, but it seems those plans are about to get thrown out the window..
