" " "Huh?!" " "

The three all said in unison,shocked.

"What?"

Aidan responded,as if it was natural.

The trio looked at each other,this was different from what they heard!

They had never heard of a Azura continent,were they not going to the Martial Plains? 

Out of the three, Eli was the most panicked. She had researched and planned the routes she was to get the strengthening techniques, beat her siblings, then devour their soul weapons! 

Now that it is like this, all her plans were wasted.

"But Master Scar, Master Cyan and the guards told us...."

Trying to reason with Aidan,Eli called out.... Aiyah, the majority said that they would be going to this place,so why....

Wait, don't tell me...!

Eli with widened eyes took a sharp glance at the guards neatly positioned in a row next the pillar. Some of the guards received her glance and in return, half of them gave apologetic looks and the others happy smirks. The guards could be considered as the disciple's seniors, as they have taken the mission before and succeeded in their soul weapon gathering.

"Yep, I told them to dupe you three."

Aidan revealed, giving a 'hehe' expression.

"!!!"

Right now, the three disciples had the expression of 'jaws dropping to the floor', looking at this comical scene, Aidan was on the verge of laughter.

Holding back his laughter, he lectured while looking at Eli,

"Tsk tsk,Holding an advantage over your siblings is cheating, y'know."

Eli bit down on her lower lip as she heard his statement. So he knew!

Before Eva could ask what he meant, Aidan cutted in,

"Your transfer will be into the body of a mortal, and therefore on you will begin your mission. The power you have will be greatly restricted in the beginning, while gradually growing as time goes by."

Aiden continued his explanation while the trio were growing increasingly pale.

Totally different from what they heard!! What they had gathered the last week was that in the mission,they would be in their current state, not in the body of a mortal.

"While in the Azura continent, beware of the monsters and humans, there are some humans that have the strength equal to the guards here."

As Aidan said that, he was serious. Although it would be fun to see them suffer, he did not want to see them fatally hurt. If they were.... Aidan thought of the torture Cyan and Scar would do,gulping down his saliva. Definitely can not allow!

"To prevent getting your ass beaten, you need to train and improve your skills even further than what we have taught you in the last twenty years."

Swiping his hand in a left motion,a large blue portal appeared on the ground,in front of the three. The swirling vortex looked intimidating as it threatened to swallow anything whole. The three instinctively took steps back.

"Before you depart, I have something for you."

Aidan reached into his fur robe's left sleeve, and took out three wooden sticks.

"If you need our help, break one of them.Out of one to five rating, i might come to help."

He tossed the sticks to each of them, each of which impressively caught. Since there were only three sticks, that meant that they could only do it thrice. This was a big help, since there would be moments they would encounter dangerous figures chasing them, calling upon the masters would insta-kill the enemies or give them pointers.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"If you guys can't finish the mission, don't even think of coming back. Quite a amount of guards failed to complete and ended up staying in the place."

Aidan yawned again, nonchalantly giving out another shocker. This was another thing they did not expect, some of the guards did not come back, they assumed it was because they failed in the mission and died, who knew that the masters was not so kind.

"Oh,I also have one last thing to tell you."

Suddenly, luminous yellow chains appeared and wrapped around the trio, resulting in the trio being bundled up like a haystack, tightly squeezed together.

"?!" (Eli)

"Ngh!" (Celio)

"Fuck!" (Eva)

The three shouted out in suprise, and looked over to where Aidan was standing, only to find he was gone.

"You guys will be transferred into the same body."

The source of the voice came behind them, The final blow came from Aidan. Preparing so long for this moment, eavesdropping from the guards, listening to the adventures and experience from them, only to be deceived by this asshole of a master!

"But Master...."

Celio was very displeased with this, if they had to be transferred to the same body,won't that mean they have to work together?

The siblings were like oil and water, appalled by another, wanting to win each other over in everything, their fathers attentions, battles and fights...

How ever could they have teamwork?

"That is why I decided on this."

Aidan gave a wry smile,his eyebrows knitted,

"You guys need to deepen your relationship."

The masters were concerned, they did not want the disciples to hate each other, they loved the three of them very much and thought of them as their children.

"Together? With these bitches? Hell no!"

Eva struggled, looking at these two's faces already made her want to spit. Her struggling only made the chains tighter.

"Lesson #4562 or something.....when faced with unexpected outcomes,prepare for the worst."

Eva grinded her teeth,Eli biting her lip and Celio crying on the inside. You just came up with that, you ass!

lifting up his right leg,he kicked the bundled up disciples into the portal.

Eva screaming as the others cursed in their hearts,slowing getting softer.

"Fuck youuuu old man~!"

"Haha, Good luck working together, kiddos."

Aidan laughed and waved off his children as they fell down the portal. The portal slowly closed,leaving no trace of the trio.

"Milord,your eyes are watering."

"Tears of joy,I assure you."

Aidan replied to the guard, using his finger to wipe the corner of his eyes.

The tall man turned around,walking at a leisure pace, his guards tread behind him.

"Are you worried, milord?"

"Perhaps."

He stopped walking.

"I just hope they come back safe."

What do you think of Aidan? He is so far my favorite, Eva being my second.
