Student Dorm is a pair of buildings built next to each other with approximately the same look. they are white and squared, like most common middle-priced apartments with a minimalist look. On the ground floor is the entrance with a receptionist table for keys and registrations. other than that, there are also shops lining around the outside of the entrance. shop that sells daily necessities, laundry, Cafe, and many more that students may need are available there.
Timothy is waiting right outside the Dorm entrance. a few minutes later, a luxurious black car arrived. it stops right in front of Timothy who is still busy playing with his phone. the driver quickly got out of the driver's seat and almost ran to Timothy. he opens the car door for Timothy who enters the car nonchalantly. After carefully closing the door for Timothy, the driver quickly goes back to the driver's seat and drives the car. their destination is the Brightblade Castle, right in the middle of their glorious Jakurtan city.
a few hours later, the car arrived at the castle. Timothy quickly got out of the car and walked to the throne room. he remembered that he had saved the thief this morning and that person might come anytime soon. he has to tell his father that he saved someone again and is about to give them a job so they can survive.
"Father may not like it this time." said Timothy feeling tired even before anything happened.
Timothy soon arrived in front of the throne room. he knocked at the door three times and opened the door without waiting for any confirmation. As a crown prince, he at least deserves this much of privilege.
sitting on the throne is his father, Arthur Brightblade, the current King of Jakurtan City and Family Head of the Brightblade Family. he is a straight-faced man with the most notable part of him is his face which always looks like he is angry. in front of him is a long oval table and around the table are the ministers that help Arthur to govern the city.
standing behind the ministers, are Timothy's brothers and sisters. all six of them are present and eager to add on something that his father and the ministers are talking about. Unfortunately, Arthur doesn't let his children cut in on his discussion, and the kids know that they will not end up in a good place when they dare to barge into the important conversation.
"My King, with the recent emergence of a new Magic Beast Lord who named itself Rakarus, we apparently will lose one of our important mining spots.
the Magic Beast spawned about two kilometers from the mining area, but it shows an interest in metals and our mining spot is the nearest place for it to settle." reported the Minister of Management and Land Control.
"hmm can we send our best warriors to exterminate this one?" asked Arthur.
"My King, we have checked the Magic Beast and we are probably unable to deal with this one. its power is comparable to a Weapon Practitioner with a Magic Soul Weapon. the only one who is strong enough to handle is you, My King." said Miniter of Warrior and Defence
Arthur is thinking about it. he is the strongest person in the City and no one is his equal. he can only find his rival in the other neighboring city. he is thinking about dealing with the Magic Beast himself, as the minister said. but then, Timothy his eldest son, suddenly cut in the conversation.
"We have about ten warriors with Magic Soul Weapon. Their body may still be in Weapon User level but that is enough.
send some scouts to watch and map the Magic Beast's body, and find its weak point. force it out of the mine and harass it with hit and run tactic.
do it several times and the Magic Beast will exhaust itself, and then we can deliver the killing blow easily. I'll send the names of the ten people to you later Father. I know they are more than capable of handling such Magic Beast."
Stolen novel; please report.
yes, among the children of Arthur, only Timothy is allowed to talk and cut on his father's conversation. Of course, it is only when the discussion is stuck and Timothy has a better idea, else Timothy will also get a problem like his other siblings.
"oh! Do we have warriors at that level?
sure son, send me the names later. meanwhile, I need to find out where your allegiance is for." said Arthur as he pointed to his newly summoned Kris Dagger.
the Miniter of Warrior and Defence quickly drenched in sweat. he tried to run away while summoning his Soul Weapon but before it even manifested in his hand, he saw both of his hands flying in two opposite directions.
"thank you son for reminding me about the current state of our warriors." said Arthur as he ignored the scream of pain from his newly demoted minister.
"you are welcome, Father," Timothy said as he bowed his body a bit.
soon after that, the guards collect the ex-minister's hands and interrogate him. From him, they find out that the newly emerged Magic Beast is staged and they try to kill Arthur while his child is still not ready to rule. their plan is somehow thwarted by Timothy who has a thorough knowledge of his city and its supply.
****
after all the ruckus is over, it is time for Arthur's child to talk to him.
Timothy sits on the right side of his father, he looks at ease as if he just cleaned up his room and is ready to brag about it. meanwhile, his brothers and sisters look a bit tense, probably due to Timothy's previous action or because they didn't get enough time to be together with their father in the non-formal situation.
"Okay children, you have my permission to talk." said Arthur.
at this time, sometimes Arthur feels like it was a mistake to have more than three children. just as he permits to talk, all six children of his quickly begin a contest of shouting and cursing at each other like a savage. and somehow, Arthur also joined in the chaos by answering them one by one.
"I want to tell you about school..."
"Father you need to help me with my friend that.."
"my pet is missing father, can you please get.."
"what about your school.."
"Father I heard from the servant.."
"what happens with your friend.."
and they keep on talking and shouting. if there are people outside seeing this scene, they will say that the six of them are Arthur's children without a doubt. they really act the same way. the only one that didn't act the same is Timothy, who remains silent in the middle of chaotic voices with a smile on his face.
a few minutes later, Arthur and all six of his children finally stop shouting and only panting heavily, almost running out of breath. they remain silent for a few minutes before finally, Arthur moves his focus on Timothy.
"so son, do you have anything to tell?" asked Arthur calmly.
Arthur knows that his eldest son is in a different spectrum compared to the other six. so he also tries to match the energy to make sure Timothy doesn't feel left out.
"Well, sure father.
I saved someone this morning...."
before Timothy even finishes his words, his siblings suddenly get chaotic once more. this time even worse than before.
"oh cmon, bro! again? how many times.."
"Really bro? how many times..."
"Bro, really! didn't you know how much.."
"big bro, we understand that you are kind. but!.."
"I know! I know! but this time is different! I will explain!"
"Son! This is already too much..."
"Father you have to listen.."
"bro! Father is talking! don't interrupt.."
chaos is emerging once more and this time Timothy joined in it. the guards outside can even hear their screams and shouts but cannot really tell what they are talking about. But for the guards that is a normal situation. they will only barge in and become suspicious when the family discussion happens calmly and collectively.
******
all in all, things are going as Timothy intended. his newly saved thief will get a job. it might be a simple one but at least it will help him to survive without the need to steal anything.
when morning comes, Timothy is going back to his new school with all the remaining necessities he might need. the driver will help Timothy to set everything in his room while Timothy goes to his morning class.
along the way, he once again looks outside the car window. the traffic is terrifying but at least it was peaceful. no thief is running around, there is no troublemaker on the road. it would be such a perfect morning if only the bank nearby was not in the middle of being robbed. what a perfect morning it is.
as if.....
"driver. please help to set up my room when you arrive at school.
and please tell my father that I have arrived safely at school." Said Timothy as he got out of his car.
Timothy summoned his one-handed sword Soul Weapon and quickly ran to the robbed bank. he managed to deal with the robbery but sent the robber to jail instead of killing them on the spot. As always, Timothy is so kind that even the robber is sent to jail instead. if his father knows this, he will sigh in tiredness.
