By the time the sun hits it peak, Zaraf has said goodbye to his roommate Dixie and told him that his Sister going on an adventure. It took some time for Dixie to agree and that she would be fine as she is going to keep training. So a fire lit in his eyes to graduate early, as Dixie didn’t see the point of staying if his sister had already left.

Reaching the front gate, he saw the four girls waiting as they didn’t have many friends outside themselves. Now that he thought about it, neither did he as he realized they were all training manics. Was he bothered by the thought, not really as he got a really close group of friends which really all that matters.

“Where to now?” Lily asked, as they didn’t really have a destination.

“I was thinking of the O’Brien Empire.” Zaraf replied with a shrug.

“We might find something there so, Towa can get the sword.” Lyana said bring up the demon sword they found over a year ago.

Thinking about it, they could probably find one here in the Holy Union, but none of them really attempted to look. They would rather train than browse through shops and villages looking for something that might not be there.

“I don’t have a problem with it.” Lily said as the rest nodded, though Delia seems hesitant.

“What wrong Delia?” Towa asked seeing her slow nod.

“Nothing, my clan has a few ties to the kingdom, since they are apart of the Yulan Empire.” Delia said as if afraid of her friends reactions. Sadly she was let down as only Lyana reacted with a surprised look.

“Than what the problem? You're the one going and not your clan.” Zaraf asked.

“Never mind.” Delia said shaking her head.

“So, how are we getting there?” Towa asked the question as they didn’t plan where or how to get there until a few minutes ago.

“Magical Beast Mountain of course.” Lily and Zaraf replied in sync. How could they pass up the chance for a fight or beast cores.

=====================================================================

After the five left, six different envoys appeared at the school gates, in the hope of meeting them. Sadly for them, they left hours before, with no one knowing where they were heading.

“What do you mean they left.” All the envoys shouted as they receive the news about the ones they came for.

“They just got their medals and went to pack and left as a group. From the other students, they have no idea where they went or going.” The master of the school said a little shaken as they all were peak rank nine magus or warrior. As for himself he was on the verge of reaching rank nine, but lacks the time to break into it.

“This was a waste of time.” They all said mumbleding on how to tell their master.

=====================================================================

Four years passed came and went since the five vanished from the school and dropped from the public eye. From the time they entered the mountain and to the end heading north, they not once exited the mountain.

Zaraf being the nomated leader and Lily being the secret true one, they had adventures from rank nine beast to deadly ruins. Escaping rank nine dragon after wandering into it den on accident was fun for the two Saiyans. Though it did ruin their chance of leading the way for a few months.

As for some of the ruins they came across, some more deadly than others rewarded them greatly. From rare or legendary weapons in one era or two, they collected, aside from the giant mountain of gold. Their gold reserves just continued to grow not they cared nor the other girls as they could nearly build a city with it. A city made of pure gold that is.

As for their growth, they all grew into teenagers or again for some. The relationship between Lily and Zaraf grew except it never went passed a few kisses or holding hands yet. Lily for some reason or another had something in mind and wanted to wait. Which truth be told, Zaraf didn’t mind as he had no clue what to do.

For their strength, they continued to train hard, and after years of hard work Zaraf managed to make it to rank nine recently. Well he made it as a magus as he was still a rank eight warrior but getting there. It took him a year and a half to make it to rank eight magus and two years as a warrior.

Not using a Ki method to improve their warrior training, Lily and him slowed a lot as it took more work and training to make progress. However, due to stubbornness neither wants to admit that they should use one to increase their training.

As for Lily training, she was right behind him and ready to breakthrough to rank nine at any time. She is just missing that small bit of force to do it. However she can fight rank nine beast or warrior as super saiyan allows her to jump ranks. This also includes weak saints that recently broke through.

For Towa, she became a rank nine magus before all of them which wasn’t a surprise. She was always more focused on magus path than a warrior path. So, after becoming a rank seven warrior, she leaned more onto the magus path. Though she still trains a warrior.

Delia in the similar spot as Towa also leaned more on the magus path. She however is currently only rank eight magus and has a little way to go until the ninth rank. As for her looks she began to grow into a beauty on par with Lily and Towa. Not that Zaraf really payed attention to looks, as he was more into personalities. Well that how Lily explained it to him which was a weird talk.

Finally for Lyana, she became stuck at rank eight due to drinking and relying on blood to improve. So they had her stop drinking blood for a few months and training hard to her back on track. Now she can begin progressing again, and nearly a mid rank eight magus.

Now sitting in the middle of a lake on an island, Zaraf was currently sitting there thinking. They have reached the end of the mountain and ruins they could find or ignored. Some of the ones they skipped looked to be visited often and not worth the effort in exploring.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

With thoughts of descending the mountain he wondered what he or the girls are going to do. They have enough adamatie to make at least forty different swords and that only increase with the other types. Only problem is they don’t have anything to do with it and neither does the girls besides Towa. She thought of giving blacksmithing a try, but they currently moving around to much.

The thought of living in the O’Brien empire came to mind for a while as it might interest them as Towa learns to become a blacksmith. As for him he could Sculpt to pass the time and train, and Lily and make music. As for Lyana and Delia he doesn't know what they are going to do beside train.

Maybe, the two would start a business or something as they have enough weapons, or variety of merchandise to sell. Most of it would come from the ruins, or random things he makes. It would also allow Towa to sell whatever she makes while blacksmithing if she takes the route. Sure they can’t complete with the big names like Dawson Conglomerate.

Anyways the girls were currently swimming as they recently cleared the lake of magical beast. They all were wearing a bikini, that Towa made from a few different types of beast fur or water beast scale. It didn’t stop Lily from speaking of swimming in their birthday suits, which was rejected by the other three.

Even wearing a bikini was a bit much for Lyana and Delia as they had a large blush when he saw them. Lyana attempted to brush it off by attempting to insult him but got a small shock as her contract kicked in. Which made her blush grow, Delia on the other hand couldn’t form words and attempted to hide.

They soon became use to use it and fine now and don’t mind as much if he looks at them.

“What you thinking about Zar?” Delia asked as she climbed out of the water. The current sight of her climbing out was amazing as Zaraf’s senses went into overdrive. Though it could also be Lily next to her, making the scene breathtaking.

He doesn’t know if either know or care in Lily’s case that their swimsuits were semi transparent. It didn’t show anything, but skin shown through. So their assets were nearly on display drawing his eyes.

“What should we do once we arrive in the kingdom? Towa wants to learn blacksmithing, I will continue to sculpt, Lily will do music. However, what are you and Lyana going to do?” Zaraf directed his question to her.

None of them have an enemy or a goal of revenge or even a plan for the future. Well, in this universe as far as Zaraf could tell. That may change in the future, but they aren’t really out there seeking trouble either. A few fights here or there with bandits, does not lead to bitter enemies where on can't live without the other dead.

“How long are we going to be staying in the kingdom?” Lily asked.

“Don’t know, beside until we are saint rank at least after that no idea. We could go to Anarchic Lands and build a small kingdom for something to do. Though I am not really interested in running a kingdom.” Zaraf shrugged.

“I’m not either, as I am more interested in running the family side of things.” Lily said with a bit of lust in her voice.

Shaking his head, he knew Lily was mostly teasing him, as neither of them are ready. Besides, he thinks they need to grow a lot more in this and dragonball universe. Also, there the feeling that Lily is planning something and it only grows as the girls grow closer.

There is no way that Lily want to build a harem, right? Zaraf thought before mentally laughing at the thought.

He didn’t have proof or anything more than a feeling and dismissed it as his hormones being greedy.

“I’m sure we could find something to do.” Delia replied with a shrug as she not to worried about it.

“If you say so.” Zaraf didn’t sound convinced.

For the rest of the day they played in the lake and decided to descend the mountain the next morning. On the way down they didn’t run into any trouble with the magical beast or bandits. So, it was a boring trip down in their opinion, but they were glad on the haul they got. Ignoring all they got from ruins, they got over a few thousand cores rank six to nine.

Sadly they don’t have any saint rank cores, or does saints ranks beast have cores. Zaraf didn’t know as they haven’t ran into one and didn’t really care. He knew that they aren’t at the level to battle one yet.

As for why they haven’t met one, he guessed that they avoided them or live somewhere else. They might have entered one or two territories but they just haven’t be important for the beast to investigate. Though, they might have been in the city or kingdom as they should have human forms by than.

“Should we get a beast companion for our group?” Zaraf suddenly asked as they walked down the main entrance to a city with stone walls surrounding it.

“What brought this on?” Lily asked neither agreeing or disagreeing.

“I don’t really know, just a passing thought and it might be interesting to raise one. Maybe if I can find a white tiger.” Zaraf said.

“Why a white tiger?” Delia asked.

“It will be interesting to see how it evolves from infancy to adulthood. Also, to see what rank it can reach.” Zaraf shrugged.

“We will see.” Towa said.

“Whatever,” Lyana commented.

====================================================================

A couple weeks weeks after entering the city, Zaraf let out a small sigh as he yet to find a white tiger. The closest he came to finding one was finding an old dog that died a few hours before. Since he not into necromancy or interest in it, the dead dog wasn’t helpful.

The girls, just went shopping or toured the city picking up rumors or news of world shaking events. None of it really interest them beside, Linley back in Ernst Institute was making a name for himself. He is currently becoming one of the youngest grandmasters of sculpting and a rank five magus and rank four warrior.

However, after two weeks of touring the city, they decided it was time to head towards the capital. So, packing up and storing everything away in their rings they began the next step on their journey.

===================================================================

Back in the Headquarters in the Holy Union, King Clayde was reading over a report stating the five geniuses were spotted. After four years they suddenly resurfaced, making him wonder how much they have grown since they vanished. Of course he sent some into the mountain to find them only to either never to return or empty.

He grew angry as he reread where they resurface at as they would be in the O’Brien empire. The thought of sending someone to kidnap or invite them to him wasn’t an option. The Radiate Church isn’t welcomed in that territory very much. On of the older Cardinals was caught kidnapping young nobles with pure souls for sacrifice recently.

“Well no matter, I will just need to think of another way to get them.” He mumbled as he looked at the old man he entered. “Greeting Elder…”

=================================================================

In the Capital of the O’Brien Empire a similar scene was present as the king was looking over the reports. He has been informed by the War God to keep an eye out for them as he wanted to know what they are up too.

When the report listed that they were on the way to the capital he was excited and wondered what they wanted. He doubted they were coming to chat with him or visiting family since most are orphans excluding Delia.

From the report, Delia isn’t coming as a friendly visit from her clan and just traveling. Trying to think of their reasoning for coming, he couldn’t think of anything. Finally after giving up, he decided to adopt a wait and watch approach.

“I will allow them to settle in for a short while, then invite them up.” The emperor nodded as he really didn’t know what to do. He just moved on to the other reports he needed to sort out.
