Chapter 56 – Berserk Mode
Halfway before we got to Uire Andros headed back to his city as he only tag along because of Ciall’s request as for Ciall he was curious about where his father lived all this time so he decided to come with Cellux back to their cave. As for Rezald, we both headed back towards Uire.
Rezald: Hahh… also don’t scare me like that bro Nelus… suddenly leaving like that.
Nelus: What do you mean?
Rezald: When I saw you suddenly flew off campus there was a huge shockwave destroying most of the academy walls there good thing Principal Andros said that fixing it will be easy as they only need to reinforce it. I’ll help them too tomorrow. Also, when I heard about it from your students I guess I panicked a little too… for asking Ciall for help as I don’t know the way there and I heard you were dealing with royalty so… ahahaha…
Rezald laughed dryly as he then had a satisfied expression on his face her truly was relieved that nothing bad happened.
Nelus: If you only asked Ciall for help why did Cellux come with you?
Rezald: I kind of shouted “Ciall! Bro Nelus is…!!” afterwards Cellux’s expression became extremely scary. I guess I should’ve finish my sentence… well he suddenly flew off when I said Xaelos so…
Nelus: What’s done is done lets just get back to the mansion even if my mana is full the continuous usage of mana somehow made me slightly mentally tired… well I guess I’ll use Restore instead.
Rezald: I’m so envious for people who can use attack and support magic… so convenient…
As we arrive near the Uire gates a few people seem to have waited for us. It was Zala smiling wryly with Lina and Altan waving at me… and at Altan side was Tania who politely bowed when we got near. Frei and Fala were also there as well as Jisa.
Rezald: Oh? What are you guys doing here?
Zala: Ahahaha… you see…
Jisa: At lunch it seems Zala was talking about how cool Nelus was to be teaching at Lux academy and that she wanted to be thought by Nelus too. Fufufu…
Zala: Jisa!! That’s not what I said!! I-I said that it was a great honor for Lux Academy to have someone like Nelus to be teaching there and that’s all!
Zala said with a flustered face as Fala and Jisa suddenly have a mischievous expression as Frei just sighed and smiled wearily.
Frei: It was because of that, that these three became interested in Lux Academy as they seem to have missed you very much Lord Nelus.
Nelus: Is that so?
Lina: Uncle not read with me anymore!! Muuu…
Altan: Papa not play with me anymore!! Uuu…
Nelus: I’m sorry for neglecting you two its just getting too busy lately.
When Nelus said this the two became teary eyed as they rushed towards Nelus and hold onto his robe with upturned eyes glistening with tears surrounding it, unwilling to let go of Nelus. They were afraid that he will go somewhere and ever return. Seeing these two Jisa, Zala, and Fala squealed at their cute reaction and was suddenly envious at Nelus. As for Rezald and Frei, they thought that its good that Nelus was also popular with the kids. Nelus then pats their head as he smiled at them gently. He then places them both on top of his shoulders. Seeing this scene with Nelus and the two… Zala became flustered as a thought suddenly surfaced on her mind. Suddenly Tania spoke.
Tania: Why don’t Lord Nelus have them tour around school tomorrow? You don’t have classes after all that way you can spend some time with them as well a quenching their interest in Lux Academy.
Everyone-in-unison: That’s it!!
Lina: Is it alright uncle?
Altan: Papa…?
Nelus: It’s alright… (You will be enrolling their someday after all.)
Altan: Yaayy!! Papa will take us to school!!
Lina: Eeeyy!! Bye Alt! I will tell mother!!
Altan: Bye Lin!! Papa thank you!!!
Nelus: No need to be too excited. Let head back to the mansion it’s almost dinner time.
Fala: Oh! I forgot to tell you! I have been teaching Tania how to cook!
Rezald: Ohh!! What kind of dishes can you make right now Tania?
Tania: Just soup and simple meat dishes… I still have a long way before I can cook for father and brother a superb meal.
Jisa: Just don’t overwork yourself too much Tania.
Tania: I won’t.
Fala: Says the soldier who wants to cook so bad that she always sears her hands…
Jisa: It’s no big deal! Its just burns!! It’s not that painful… I want to cook too…
Rezald: Jisa! You’re a girl too so a scar would be bad for you!
Jisa: I already have many scars, adding another one won’t hurt anybody.
Mostly everyone was surprised as the girl with a frail stature with peerless white and unblemished skin like Jisa having many scars on her body. For it to be unnoticed it must be within her body as there seems to be none on her body, visually.
Nelus: Just be careful Jisa, its great to have an interest in cooking but there is always moderation for these things.
Jisa: I understand…
Seeing Jisa complying so easily they cannot help but sigh inwardly as she is normally stubborn about these things but in front of Nelus she becomes like a meek cat in front of its master.
After we ate dinner we all headed back to our rooms… after a while Nelus heard the familiar pitter patter of small footsteps… it was Altan and Tania again wanting to sleep besides Nelus for the night. Nelus didn’t reject nor drive them away as he somehow like this feeling of warmth… a though suddenly arises…
Nelus: (Warmth… every time that male voice tries to overtake me I somehow manages to return to my senses whenever I hear that female voice… and whenever I hear that voice a comfortable warmth always pervades me… that voice seem too familiar… I just can’t remember… or maybe I don’t want remember… whatever it is it didn’t happen throughout my time in the pantheon then why appear now… those two voices… what has changed?)

Altan: Pa… pa … forever stay… don’t leave…
Altan mutter in his sleep as he struggles while lying on the bed, it seems he was having a nightmare.
Nelus: I won’t leave don’t worry Altan…
Altan: …
As if responding to Nelus’ gentle words he calms down as a smile appears from his face. Tania who was actually awake opens her eyes. Hearing Altan’s words as well as mine Tania had a complex expression which I cannot explain but somehow it has something to do with our conversation just now.
Tania: Father… can we really stay with you? I mean brother and I are…
Nelus: No need to think about those things right now. Maybe the time for it to arise will come someday but right now just enjoy how things are.
Tania: I see… then I will do just that father.
As morning came I see Altan and Tania lying on my stomach. I then gently lift them up and put them down on the bed as I walked slowly towards downstairs.
Jisa: Good morning Nelus.
Nelus: Hello Jisa. Usually the first ones I see are Frei and Fala… where are they?
Jisa: Oh they are just getting something for Altan to wear other than his robe.
Nelus: I see…
As I went outside to read near the palace garden early in the morning like what I usually do. I noticed two people waving at me.
Yeuhl: Nelus as expected… look what do you think?
Lina: Mama gave me dress!!
Lina said with an innocent smile as she twirls around showing off her clothes. The dress is white with some frilly parts but not too much as well as blue outlines matching her blue eyes completely.
Nelus: It looks good on you.
Lina: Ehehe.
Yeuhl: It was done by our seamstress.
Nelus: How are those three?
Yeuhl: Just fine it seems that their work are getting more and more famous as time passes.
Lina: Alt! You look good too!!
Altan: Uncle Frei and Aunt Fala gave it to me! Lina too pretty dress!!
Altan was wearing a red leather shirt which was quite simple yet has a dignified air about it because of the simple golden lining it has as well as a pair of pants matching the shirts design. We all then head towards the academy. As we enter everyone was staring… more than usual… except this time it was because of Lina and Altan. Altan has unique features with his red hair and piercing yellow eyes there were no doubt that the women are expecting that once he grows up he would become extremely handsome. As for Lina because of her mother’s teachings about being always elegant in front of others she gave off a feeling of royalty as it further accentuates he frail beauteous like stature which in turn attracted the men but as they were both still children they didn’t have such ulterior motives of any kind while they were eyeing the two. They were just watching the two with warm gazes.
Raldine: Oh? Lord Nelus!! You’re here!!
Nelus: Just call me Nelus like usual.
Raldine: But my life already belongs to you I…
Nelus: Then I wish for you to do so…
Raldine: Then… Nelus… who are these two cuties?
Nelus: This one is Lina, Ciall’s daughter.
Raldine: Ohh!! The youngest princess! Nice to meet you my name is Raldine.
Lina: My name Lina.
Lina said as she curtsies in front of Raldine.
Raldine: How about this little boy?
Nelus: He my son Altan.
Hearing Nelus’ words Raldine’s mind blanked as a shocked expression fills her. She then asks…
Raldine: Wh-who is the mother?
Raldine said while trying her best to smile.
Nelus: He doesn’t have one I adopted him.
Raldine lets out a sigh of relief as Altan suddenly shouts…
Altan: Nice to meet you!! My name Altan! Oh! Papa look something is flying.
We then look up at where Altan was pointing as it seems someone was falling from the sky landing in between me and Raldine… it was Jull…
Jull: Raldine! I became stronger now!! Your calling will be tomorrow right then I will challenge Nelus to a duel!!
Jull said with bloodshot eyes as he grinned madly while pointing at me.
Raldine: U-uhm Nelus already dealt with it.
Jull: What did you say…?
Jull said with a dumbfounded face… as Raldine’s words sink in to him he voice becomes raspy as he roared furiously he suddenly summons his mana weapon, Matdam. A sword and a shield appears on his hands simultaneously as he releases his killing intent towards Nelus. Feeling the intent, Altan and Lina trembled as they were pushed back by Nelus. Jull then suddenly attacks as he rushed towards Nelus. Suddenly a small red figure appeared in front of Nelus… it was Altan…
Altan: You bad man!! Don’t get near papa!!
Jull: This is between me and him stay out of this brat!!
As Jull was going to ram his shield against Altan to swat him out of the way he felt some immense resistance which seems to be unlikely coming from a child such as Altan. It seems before the shield hits Altan his gem on his back glowed. A figure then appears in front of Altan blocking the shield with one hand. It was a girl… she seem to be in her 20’s she was extremely beautiful wearing a crimson dress plated with scale like armor as her skirt flutters with the wind. Her beautiful expressionless face that shows a hint of fury in her eyes attracted the gaze of those around them as it accentuated her sharp figure as if she was a battle maiden in the legends. Her red hair was fluttering on the wind and on top of her head was a tiara or it seems to have the shape of a tiara… it was actually her horns elegantly curved on her head with small spikes majestically protruding around it as if it was a crown as it glows a ruby like aura. Her yellow eyes was looking at Jull disdainfully as she punches the shield pushing Jull back as his feet slid on the ground as he tries to stop his momentum which failed as the girl’s punch was too strong, this lead on until he crashes onto a wall heavily... It was Tania… to be precise it was Tania in her berserk mode.
Tania: You dare attack master!? Then you shall pay the price!!
