Neo-"....Grandpa.. could you tell me how did you meet this Demon God?.."

Lest looked at Neo and start off the story from the beginning.

Lest-"Brimming with confident my father quickly stir the boat and head toward the Floating Isle and believe it or not.. their island were above the clouds and we had no way to reach it..

But suddenly the dark clouds covered the sky , the wave went in frenzy , cyclone appeared everywhere along with hurricanes..

It was a storm.. a unnatural storm..and a bright golden light flashed from under water..

Our boat was on top of that light , the light revealed a shape , a long ravine looking shape.. we noticed that we weren't in the Floating Isle...

It was a single huge land floating and it was heading over the Gate of Astral , as soon we noticed that , we quickly try to stir away from the Gate.

From the land above the clouds , millions of millions human shaped being flew down toward the Gate , they had wings , horns and talons instead of feet.

They were led by a dark purple looking human creature ,it was atleast 10 foot tall , it wore huge armors and had a great axe that was atleast 5 times his size.

Then suddenly the wave began to get extremely angry , after a huge wave appeared , millions of sea monsters appeared on top of the water and shot millions of light toward the winged ones.

It was a war.. between 2 unknowns..The boat couldn't go anywhere because of the waves that constantly change directions.

At the end only two people were left on the battlefield ,

my father and I witnessed a war between mighty warriors and magicians.

The so called Demon God and a Astral beast were the only one left , standing on the water full of corpse.

The Astral beast roared and appeared behind the Demon God but he already predicted the Astral's move , exchanging blows , they created a huge water wave , that broke my father's boat in half.

As I was drowning , I was saved by my father who pull me up into a small row boat , he told me to get out of here and that it is going to get more dangerous.

We both knew that the boat wouldn't go anywhere especially the row boat and that is why my father jump off the boat to give it a push.

With another huge wave coming , my father gathered almost all of his mana , created a wind tunnel big , a high ranked 1 magic spell that allow one to travel 50 times faster.

As the boat flew away , I was on my knees , my hand on the floor , trying to balance my self and after finding my balance , I raise my head toward my father.

Shouted to him loudly , telling him to come with me , suddenly the blade of the axe cut my father in half , It was the Demon God , he was absorbing my dad fresh blood to heal his wounds but as soon he turns back , the Astral beast who kept all his energy to deal one powerful blow delivered a fatal blow into the chest of the Demon God.

The Demon God felt into the dept of the ocean , the Astral beast flew into the water and I was getting far , far away , closer to the Valerian continent.

And after that day.. I decided to never set foot outside this continent.."

Neo-"Grandpa Lest...do you think I am not from here?...and my magic-"

Lest-"Neo , I do not know anything other than that.. I told you my story because I feel that you needed to know and beside , you saved my grand daughters from the ambush"

Neo-"H..how do you know that grandpa Lest?"

Lest-"Hohoho , I sent some of my mens and they recovered a death body , and that brown king bear was also your doing right Neo?"

Neo did not hesitate to hide anything because he felt really grateful.

Neo-"Yes , it was me"

Lest-"Mhmm , I won't question you but , Neo , I ask of you , please take care of Ria and Cyel when the times comes"

Neo-".. I will protect them for sure but..What do you mean grandpa Lest?"

Lest-"Hahahaha little Neo , you are a smart one , Have you ever heard of the Colossal Forest?"

Neo-"Yes...."

Lest-"Do you know how gigantic is that forest?"

Neo-"Mhmm , it's around 300 km"

Lest-"That is what everyone thinks , the forest may look small in the outside but the truth is that the forest itself is a part of another realm that once tried to merge with our world but they could only manage to bring a tip of their realm.

The forest is surrounded by a magical barrier , if you go inside of it , the forest will be atleast 3-5 millions km.

And I suspect the Colosxus Kings are up to something because of many magical beast left the forest to attack small villages"

Neo listened carefully to Lest and all he could do was to nod.

Lest-"So listen carefully Neo , because the others kingdoms might need my help and you have to protect Cyel and Ria"

Neo-"Leave it to me grandpa Lest"

Sven-"Raaaaaaawr"

Neo-"But grandpa.."

Lest-"I trust you Neo and I see something in you , one day you will become strong"

Neo-"Strong.."

Neo nodded with confident with his hand gripped infront of his chin.

Lest-"Hahahahaha you are a fun one Neo , now now , let's go see your sisters"

After watching Ria's and Cyel's score , Neo couldn't expect any less from the daughters of Ray and grand daughters of Lest.

Ria was currently a rank 7 fire mage , her speed is above average while

Cyel was a rank 6 wind user and moderate speed.

Cyel had a speed of a rank 5 magician , which means that she will soon reach a breakthrough and receive her first ranked mission within a year.

Cyel-"Little Neo!!! Did you see how amazing your sister was?"

Cyel jumps on Neo and held him tightly.

Neo-"Yes.. sister Ria and sister Cyel are both amazing hehe"

Ria-"Hmmp of course I am a Sun afterall!"

Sven who was on the back of Neo's neck quickly stood on Neo's shoulder and tries to kick Cyel away with his small back leg.

Sven-"Rrawwr"

Cyel-"Sven is a meanie"

Neo , Ria and Lest laughed.

Lest-"Well , I should be going now to assign the teachers and students , you 3 take care now okay?"

Cyel-"Awwe grandpa Lest is already leaving?"

Ria-"Mhmm see you in 2 days grandpa"

Ria and Cyel gave Lest a hug.

Neo-"Mhmmmm..Good bye grandpa Lest"

Lest-"Oh no you don't"

Lest went to Neo and held him high in his arms , Sven didn't seem to mind Lest either.

Cyel-"Booo.. why is Sven only bullying me.."

Ria-"*Because you always tried to sneak in Neo's room*"

Neo and his sisters walk away , toward the entrance where Chrysty and her group were.

The seniors around Neo did not dare to bother him with invitation to their groups because they already guessed that Neo would be joining his sister's group.

The crowds were talking about Sven , Chrysty group and the cube that got sent flying.

Cyel-"Don't worry about it Neo , they won't do anything to you"

Ria-"Mhmm you will get used to being popular soon"

Cyel-"And if a girl confess to you , you have to tell them that you already have someone you love okay?"

Neo-"huh..ok"

Ria-"Sister Cyel , what are you saying!"

Cyel-"Wh..what.. is true , right Neo? Don't you love me?"

Neo-"Hmm..yes.."

Ria-"And me too right?"

Neo-"Erhm..yes.."

.....

The 3 laughed as they walk toward Chrysty's group.
