Chapter 224 His Invitation
His sudden arrival was chaotic in itself, but after he saw my status window, things got even more chaotic.
Maybe everyone else had met this person and knew him well, so they were even more shocked by the surprised reaction of this ever-calm person.
After seeing the status window, maybe far more than that, his eyes glowed even more, and just like what had happened with her and me, a red tear of blood gently slid down his eye.
This surprised them but, his excited smirk that they were seeing for the first time was even more shocking.
But that smirk went away as soon as it appeared and he returned to his normal self with the same cheerful expression so fast it seemed like nothing had happened.
Clearing the rare drop of blood, he looked at me with that same smile.
“Really special, aren’t you? It would be fun~!” He cheerfully chuckled and on this one, Anna’s ever cheerful face changed into something she didn’t like.
“Mister! My big brother is not weird! He is amazing~!” Anna shouted in anger for the first time, and this made the families even more… weird.
I knew Anna rarely ever got angry like this, and right now was one of those rare few times.
And I didn’t like seeing her like this.
Anger didn’t suit her pretty face. Rein’s one was a different matter altogether.
Glaring at him while knowing he was thinking I was quite a peculiar specimen, I definitely was, but this even surprised me.
But, thinking I was weird, and maybe even more, while feeling the weirdness and contemplating it within himself like that was definitely a no from Anna.
She loved me as much as I loved her, and if someone was genuinely feeling I was weird, she would naturally get angry.
And after something like this, this hot man couldn’t help but blink blankly and move his eyes from her unhappy face and me.
And then, clearing all his weird thoughts, he sighed and pulled back a chair on the dining table.
“My apologies, miss Anastasia. I apologize to you too, Axion. It was a mistake on my side, too. I hope you could forgive this old man.”
‘First, you don’t look old with that appearance. Second, that acting is enough to fool even me. And third, why the fuck are you even here?!’
I wanted to hide this chaos in my eyes but, this sharp old man noticed it, and Rein read it clearly.
‘He definitely is a bad person, Eon. But, well, he’s too smart to over-smart and I don’t think you will be wise enough to be safe from his cunning.
Good luck, darling…’ Rein said in a sad tone, and this really surprised me.
What was that last part? Did I read wrong?
Hell, anyway, he definitely was a sharp, wise, cunning one. I knew that much.
He was someone like me in terms of knowing others, and I didn’t like those like me.
“Am I not getting the forgiveness?” he asked with a genuine expression and maybe, he at least was really sorry for how Anna sighed and walked away from him after saying not to do something like this again.
Who was he sorry to again? Just her and not me? Damn…
My mind was starting to hurt from this overthinking.
I just sighed and now that Anna was gone to the other side at Carla for some unknown reason, this headmaster of the greatest academy was sitting beside me.
And everyone had given up on understanding the thinking of this transcendent person, so we all strangely returned to the lunch like it was normal.
And even though I felt everything weird, it was happening so naturally that I didn’t even have a second thought about it.
And me not having a second thought about something meant a few things and in this situation, it wasn’t a good one.
This person was more than what I had thought and right now… everyone was definitely influenced by potent illusion magic and no one realized this one aside from me.
‘Was this the reason Rein said that things?’
“Axion Heliox Kromet. A young child, most probably a reincarnation, a Hexa elemental mage having a perfect harmony of all basic elements. ov𝚕.co𝚖
Has an innate skill that stabilizes and eases the circulation of all energies in the body.
Possess skills far stronger than what should be available in the outside world.
Separated from his family while coming back to the capital with them.
The reason is the tragedy that was masterfully covered up by the smart emperor of your empire.
Then, in this process, the miraculous child who was just six years old at that time, maybe less, saved his parents from falling to one of the buffed demon barons.
A child who has many inventions to his name, from amazing food to theories and even voice massage coding methods.
Oh, yes, I love vanilla with chocolate chips~.
A world-changing creation that a lost one created in his childhood.
Then the same child comes back one day and miraculously meets the child of the house of Atraxia whose family had deep connections with his own.
But before that, he was in an unknown place with so much natural and Mana disturbance that nothing could work as a means of communication.
A forest that meets this description would only be one of the nine forbidden zones, the great forest of Kamut.
He was thrown to this place, but he somehow survived in that forest, the most ferocious place lurking with beasts that can’t be fathomed by humans.
He tries his best, survives in the dangers, and somehow meets a powerful person in the middle of this forest.
He becomes her family-”
“Skip that please…” I couldn’t help but speak in the middle of his sudden speech of my life.
And I knew he was great and all, but, I wasn’t strong enough to remember her and talk about that one.
There were already tears in my eyes, and he could feel this one.
Right now, there were only the two of us, and it was as if every other person was under strong hypnosis.
They were acting like I wasn’t here at all and just eating normally like we did last night.
Rein was even worse than even as she could see us both. She was tied to her chair with a white rope of light with her mouth covered and she looked at me helplessly, not even being able to move her eyes and talk with them.
But, she wasn’t afraid of the situation, as if she had been through this one before and her eyes at least told me not to worry about much, so, I felt ok.
And even though everything he said about me was true, and I didn’t have any reaction to that and my heart was also calm, as soon as he brought up master… I can’t.
