"Hmm our son finally called after a long time, tell me what have you been doing? " asked mom while dad stood beside her waiting for my reply.
"I've been training in the Fallen mountain for 5 and a half months," I said while I was scratching my head and smiling apologetically
My dad's smile stiffened and mom was so close to the Magic cube like she was trying to teleport to my place while she kept saying
"What?! Did something bad happen to you?! Do you have any serious injuries?! " Mom was a bit overprotective of me
After dad calmed mom down, he looked at me asking for an explanation.
"I trained there so I could have enough strength to join the Battle Royale and don't worry mom, I'm ok" When my parents heard my explanation, dad laughed while mom was relieved.
I can't let them know that I trained there so I could become stronger and help them fight off the demons
"If that's so, then bring pride to the Timberwolf name son! " dad kept laughing
"Honey, listen little Lyan don't go and hurt yourself just for some simple pride," mom said
"Mum, I'm no longer a kid and I need to be strong for my future woman! " I said while sticking out my chest and pointing my nose to the sky
"Oh that reminds me, mum, dad meet Arachne" The moment I said those words Arachne meekly came in through the door and was nervously walking so I held her hand to let her know it was ok
"Arachne, these are my mum and dad," I said as I encouraged her.
"G-good morning my name is Arachne, Master Lyan's Beast pe-" [Aracne]
"My Partner" before Arachne could finish her sentence I quickly stopped her by saying whats on my mind, Arachne, on the other hand, was surprised and held her head down but if you see her face she was definitely smiling with a flushed red face.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my Honey when did we raise our little Lyan to be such a womanizer! " mom having a woman's intuition and seeing the actions of Arachne clearly understood something.
"Uhn, That's my son"dad nodded in approval.
Arachne was surprised by what my mom and dad said and stared at them.
"She's a beauty like me" continued mom "tell me dear is my son dense like some heroes I know? " Mom said as she covered her mouth and looked at Dad, Dad, on the other hand, was whistling
"I-I already confessed but master is still yet to answer... " [Arachne]
"This son of mine making a girl wait!"Said mom helplessly
"I-Its ok Mrs.Timberwolf, and besides I'm a monster so why aren't you against it... "Arachne said, and when she was nearing the end of her sentence her voice became weak and almost inaudible.
What Arachne said was true, in the kingdom of steel Monster pets, Demons, Undead, and all the other races are looked down upon. This due to the believers of light religion.
"Arachne! Raise your head and look at me, all I see is a young woman in love with my son, nothing else! " of course since mom and dad are believers of Gaia they don't discriminate other races, even if they weren't in the Gaia religion they would still accept Arachne.
"You're ok with it?... "Arachne asked as her eyes looked at mom's holding in her tears.

"Of course we are! " mom said as dad nodded while touching his chin.
Arachne looked at me with happiness and hugged me tight... I can feel it, pudding in my chest.
"Ok that's enough you two, you said you were participating in the Battle Royale correct? Then get going!" Mom said stopped Arachne and urged us to go to the Battle Royale.
"Remember little Lyan we will be watching and cheering for you back home! " Mom still left a message before cutting the connection.
I forgot, we also watched the Battle Royale once through a bigger communication cube which they connected to the Communication cube of The central city castle. We went through a lot just to bring that cube out of our castle it was twice my size, and afterward took to the town allowing everyone to watch with us.
The Battle Royale always took 2 weeks so for those two weeks our town was very lively afterward the sidewalks were littered with people asleep while holding a bottle of wine, the others had a barrel.
Mira and Arachne were with me, we were heading to the principal's office and along the way Chris while holding Reina's hands tagged along, Rona and Aurora soon also came.
Mrs. Sasha along with Ms. Lucia soon came out, looking at them were like looking at sisters. Together we went to the castle to register.
When we're at the castle the registration field was as wide as a football stadium and looking at the people there was at least 10000 here.
After lining up for 30 minutes Mrs. Sasha finally came back and gave me a badge indicating my School and year, we were all leisurely eating and chatting by the side when suddenly a fatso with almost 5 chins came holding 2 women on both sides came and said
"Mrs.Sasha I hope you will honor our deal.. Hehehe," the fatso said while looking at Mrs. Sasha's body.
"Of course I will if there is nothing else please don't disturb us" Mrs. Sasha was clearly displeased.
"Cheh, act tough all you want that body will end up in my bed anyway" the fatso turned around and looked at Mira and Arachne
"Heh, Maid who's your Master tell me so I could buy you, also the arachnid although your lower body is a minus everything else is top notch" he said as he started walking towards them
"I'm sorry sir, but these two fine ladies are already booked by me" I blocked his path and put my arms around their necks while pulling them close, I don't who this piece of shit is but he conversed with Mrs. Sasha so he shouldn't be a nobody.
"Kid then lend em to me, I'll pay you good money for em" the fatso was persistent
"Sorry but their mine" I'm losing it
"Kid don't you know who I am?! " he raised his voice attracting the people around us.
"Then is it ok to ask? " [Lyan] yup you little shit is going down
"Tch You don't know my name?! Fine then listen well, My name is Spig Sty the principal of the knight's academy and son of councilor Sty! " He said as he smiled like he already won
So that's who this little shit is.
"I'm sorry but I still won't give them" [Lyan] let's just leave the Timberwolf name as a last resort
"What did you say you little brat! " he was fuming with anger but I didn't care
"They may be mine but they are not some tools for trade, however, I heard the knight academy participating in the battle royale, if they defeat me then I'll gladly offer up my head," I said something cool right? Did I look good? Arachne was holding on to me with a very happy face, Mira was also had a very satisfied face Ms. Lucia was blushing, I don't know why Mrs. Sasha was holding the urge to laugh did I seem like a joke =_=.
Chris was giving me a thumbs up along with Reina, Rona and Aurora, the rest of the crowd? Well, they were looking at me like a dead man.
"Heh kid remember what you said, Everyone here has been a witness to our deal! " he told to the crowd
"However if I win you must compensate me with two things," I said
"Fine fine you're gonna die anyway" he laughed as he left. The crowd also dispersed.
"Lyan you were so cool back there! " Chris came and said
"The crowd said otherwise... " remembering those faces that looked at me like a dead fish was not a fun experience
"Haha the looks on their faces, if they see you win, is gonna be great " Chris was as usual Positive
"Don't you trust me too much? " I smiled as I thanked this idiot who believed in me too much
" Oh come on, we're bros, of course, I'll trust you " Chris was very frank with his words
"Oh, I just got an Idea" I remember there was gambling
"Quickly share it" Chris was eager to hear my plans
"Mrs. Sasha, gambling isn't prohibited, right? " I looked at Mrs. Sasha who was still holding in her laughter
"No it isn't, look over there is the betting house where lists of the academy are posted. They will choose whichever academy they think will win. There are 4 buildings each corresponding to a year, the first one there are for first years" she explained after struggling for a few seconds.
"Mira, bet these 500 white gold coins for me" I said as I handed a pouch to her, she quickly took it and left.
After 30 minutes Mira returned with a ticket.
After 3 hours they finally announced the participants for each year and one by one each team stood on the stage, most of them were 18-year-olds, this was the age capacity for first years.
We all went to the teleportation circle, the participants of the knight's academy were the winner last battle royale for 1st years and 4th years so their team was no joke.
