Chapter 164 Going Back To The Beginner’s Area

"So I have the next in line to the throne as my cousin…" Jason murmured.

This marked both of his cousins as nobles. Nora was the son of Zara who was the princess of the demi-human kingdom whereas Hiro was the prince of the Vancouver kingdom.

"You do have two noble bloodlines inside you. Fel, your maternal grandfather is one of the nine demon commanders as well as one of the sins. Astryn is the descendant of one of the strongest demon families involved in the controlling of thunder and lightning.

Evelyn is under the protection of one of the strongest demon gods. You already know about us so don't think that your bloodline is weaker than those of the royal blood." Risa reminded in a gentle tone.

Jason, however, was focusing on one single line. "So that means that not only Grandpa but Astryn has thunder element as well?"

"Indeed. Why do you think both of us get along?" Issac raised an eyebrow.

"Its because both of you are battle junkies!" Risa replied before Jason could say something. "You met Amon in a similar way and befriended him. Its true that birds of a feather flock together."

"Except in this case, we are humans who love to battle and decided to get along. I still remember the time when I, Karna, Amon and Astryn had a four way battle. That was such a legendary day…" Issac muttered with a reminiscing expression on his face.

Risa shook her head with a disappointed expression while Jason asked the system about Amon.

[ He was the guy Issac asked to come fight with him when the demons had invaded Duphia. ]

'Good thing that I have you to keep track of things. I am quite sure that I would've forgotten most of the things if it weren't for you.'

[ Thank you, host. Please give me some more praise. ]

Jason went on to thank the system for an entire minute before collecting his thoughts. He had just received a huge amount of information and wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with it.

"Anyways, I think its about time you stepped out of this room." Risa suddenly said.

She waved her hands in the direction of the other two children present in the room.

Amber and Orion gasped loudly as they jolted awake. They looked at their surroundings and tried to figure out what was happening.

"As your doctor, I discharge you all from this room. Now go out and see what has changed in the past few years. You might want to visit your hometowns and families. Ask the guy sitting at the reception to do that for you." Risa instructed.

The trio started moving towards the door. Surprisingly, they weren't willing their bodies to move and were simply walking due to some other force.

'Probably one of Risa's powers.' Jason thought after he regained control of his body. 'Hestia, you there?'

[ I am here. I am not at full power but I am conscious. ] Hestia replied in a tired voice.

'Just don't go away again. Ask for my help through the system or something.' Jason replied casually yet he was internally worried.

Since Hestia was directly connected with his soul, Jason had been more affected than he had realized.

Though he was still not in peak condition, his senses felt a bit more active than they had during Hestia's absence.

Jason slowly walked to the reception area and to his surprise, Brian was sitting at the desk with a tired expression. ically Brian's child so he might be feeling a bit anxious for his own child.

[ Don't jump to conclusions. You don't how people can behave at times. ] The system warned.

Jason slowly moved towards Brian before saying, "Hi, uncle Brian."

Brian suddenly jumped in his seat. He looked around and his eyes landed on Jason. "Don't scare me like that, kid. What would you do if I had a heart attack?"

"First of all, grandma is literally present a few rooms away. Second, the chances of someone like you getting a heart attack from something like this are very low." Jason pointed out.

Though internally, he was surprised to find out that he had managed to shock Brian despite the clear difference between them.

'He must have been zoning out hard.'

[ That's a conclusion that you can easily make. ]

'What's up with you suddenly talking about conclusions?'

[ Nothing. I just think its a good idea to warn you about such things. ]

Jason sighed and looked around to see where he was. His surroundings looked very similar to that of a hospital from Earth except the entire place seemed to be empty.

Orion and Amber slowly trudged past him and greeted Ray. Their eyes looked grim meaning that Risa had probably told them that they had not been in action for more than four years.

'Wait… four years… System, why do I feel like I am forgetting something important?' Jason asked with a mental frown.

[ Let me search for important events that were scheduled for the future. I will get back to you soon. ]

In the mean time, Jason looked at both of his friends. Orion looked a bit shaken after seeing his father. Brian seemed to be in a much similar condition yet he hid his emotions.

'Wait, Brian is Risa's brother. Doesn't this mean that both of them wouldn't have that big of a age difference between them?' Jason's expression turned to one of semi-horror.

[ Why are you thinking of such weird things? I hope your brain didn't beecome super charged after coming back this late. ] Hestia muttered.

'Its called filling plotholes. Also, this question is an important one. Either Brian is super old or my great grandparents thought it would be a fun thing to pop a child before dying.'

[ If the skull emoji was available to me right now, I would spam it… ]

'How do you know about the skull emoji?'

[ Stop asking questions! ] Hestia hissed. [ Just listen to what conversation is going on and ask things from the system. ]

[ Now you know how I feel. ] The system muttered absentmindedly while going through the details.

"Mister, can you send me to my family?" Amber asked Brian.

"That's what I am here for. Orion, do you want to go back to the family house as well?" Brian asked without making eye contact with his son.

"No, just take me to Sora. If he is at the mansion, I will happily go there," Orion replied in an emotionless tone.

"Both of you wait here. I will back in a bit." Brian jumped over the counter and landed beside the children.

By snapping his fingers, he created a small teleportation circle below him. Both him and Orion vanished from the spot, leaving Jason and Amber behind.

"So… how does it feel to be back?" Jason questioned in a low tone.

"I don't know. Nothing really feels different except our looks," Amber replied. "I will give you my answer once I have visited my family."

"I see…"

An uneasy silence hung over the place. Neither of them knew what to speak and were simply looking at different parts of the room.

Fortunately, Brian showed up and made the things a bit less complicated. He took Amber away next and appeared back a minute later.

Simultaneously, the system finally found out the event. [ Host, we were supposed to take that demi-god named May to a temple on her fifteenth birthday! ]

'Wait, lemme remember that.'

Jason zoned out for a bit before it hit him. He remembered the demi-god name May who was currently in the custody of the Red-butt monkey king.

"Uncle, can you take me to the beginner's area of the forest around the royal academy?" Jason asked in a serious voice.

[ If we missed her birthday, there's a chance that her divinity burst out and took a huge part of the forest down. ]

'Maybe you should have told me that the last time we were there. I would have definitely remembered it that way!'

"Sure?" Brian replied in a confused tone. Regardless, he snapped his fingers and created a small teleportation circle.

Both of them vanished from their spot and appeared in the middle of a forest. Jason was surprised to see a group of young children gathered together.

They were being lead by a teacher who was telling them how to use basic magic for survival.

'I wonder if the trials and entrance to the chamber continued once I had went inside.' Jason wondered before looking at Brian.

"You can go back. I will ask the teacher to drop me off at academy. Please ask grandma and grandpa to visit me there in a few hours."

"Take care, Jason." Brian replied with a nod before vanishing.

Jason simply jumped on the branch of a nearby tree with the help of his white thunder. Since it was more focused on speed, he decided to use it from now on.

'My body should be strong enough to contain more of my powers. I should try going all out sometime.' Jason observed while making his way towards the monkey settlement.

'Also, sorry to bother you Hestia, but are my senses working better or am I just imagining this?'

Jason could feel several mana sources all around him. He could even pinpoint their location and tell the power levels of those weaker than him.

Since it was the beginner's area, most beasts were weaker than him.

[Its obvious that the chamber affected all of your powers and senses. You can now use my power to sense the beasts in a two kilometer radius. ]

Jason nodded in acknowledgment before using his powers to locate the house of the monkey king.

Fortunately, it looked as though nothing had been destroyed… yet
