Name:False Hero Author:fahad_nawaz
"Grandma, you are the wise headmaster of Heka Maho academy, aren't you going to like------- I mean you can directly admit me right? right?! I mean it's so boring to go through the entrance----"

"Ow ow ow ow ow" my cheeks were getting pulled my Grandma Lozen, getting my cheeks pulled reminds me of Mark. 

"You cheeky little kid, you would have to go through the entrance exam like everyone else," said Grandma Lozen as she pulled my cheeks.

Aetna stood beside me as she asked, "But you won the pass to the Heka Maho academy at the competition, you don't have to take the entrance exam."

Shit...

I looked away as I said, "I gave it to a friend since I wanted to see that person in the academy with me."

"Who did you give it to?" asked Aetna, curious. 

"A friend," I answered by not maintaining eye contact with her. 

Grandma Lozen chuckled as she said, "Be careful Aetna, looks like he is going to make a harem. If you don't like it, you will have to take him for yourself by force."

Aetna went a deep thought for a good second, before repeating "By force..."

She suddenly grabbed one of my arms as she asked "Like this?"

"Yes, you are doing good!" answered Grandma. 

Squinting my eyes I said, "Grandma please don't teach her this thing," 

As I was loading the luggage dad came with Illya, Emiliya, and Annie. Dad has been taking great care of these three, so much so that I think he wanted a daughter rather than a son. 

"Brother Grey are you going?" asked Illya as she held my hand tightly. she started at me with her sparkly eye, waiting for my answer.

"No no, brother is just going for the academy, I will be back from time to time. Till then you take care of dad, Emilia, and Annie, okay?"

"Yes, till then you can take care of dad!" said Dad as he placed his hand over Illya's head. 

"Okay!! but promise that you will be back for Illya from time to time!" 

"yes yes, promise!"

Annie who was staring at me said "I will be in the academy in two years, just wait for me."

Emilia joined her by saying "Yes, even I will join the academy in two years."

"Then, I will wait for you both."

"When will Illya get the chance to join the academy?" asked Illya, to which I replied with, 

"First Illya needs to get big."

as I was talking with Illya a question appeared in my mind, I turned to look at Grandma Lozen as I asked, "Grandma, why do I even have to join the academy?"

Hearing this question, Grandma sighed as she said, "Most of the kids at your age are excited or aiming to join the academy and then become heroes party members, but why aren't you interested in normal things?"

"Because I have goals that are different from joining heroes party members, but summoned heroes sure are interesting."

"Good, since you will have to work with them as a king to protect the peace of this continent."

as she mentioned that, I looked at her as I asked, "Wait, How did you know that I wanted to become king?"

A smile formed across Grandma's face as she said, "Because I am your grandma. By the way, you have to join the academy since you are part of the royal family and it is my duty to make sure that you are joining the academy. I promised your grandpa and grandma about this."

{Author: By the way, Lozen is not Grey's biological grandma. Grey just calls her Grandma since he considers her his Grandma.}

I looked at dad and he just said that "Don't look at me, I already stepped on my dad's nerve many times, he will kill me if I don't provide his grandson with the finest education about magic and everything. When you are at the academy, you will probably meet my dad, please don't try to be cocky in front of him. He is a dangerous man." 

I looked back at Grandma Lozen as I asked, "Why is dad afraid of his dad so much."

"Because he is the former king of the Frey nation, he brought back peace between countries, a man like him is scary to meet. You will know when you will meet him." answered grandma. 

Why are these two hyping up by biological grandpa so much?

Emilia opened her mouth as she said, "Brother, Sister Eira still doesn't know that you are alive, I just wanted to mention this fact to you."

"She had already joined Heka Maho academy in the previous year, right? she joined in warrior class right?"

"Yes," replied Emilia. 

"Grey, after the news of your death, she changed into a completely different person. The news of losing you drive her to train herself day and night to become strong. She trained under me for a while, then she suddenly left and trained in various different places, just to get stronger. She never talked about how she felt throughout the years she just kept training herself.

Currently, she is strong to the point where even his peers don't come closer to her. She possesses a strength that even bridges the power gap between a mage and warrior. I am just talking about her raw strength. So please while revealing that you are alive, be careful, since it would collapse her whole reason of getting stronger, treat this topic sensitively."

I didn't answer with anything right away, but I eventually replied with a yes.

I got on the wagon and along with me Aetna and Grandma Lozen also got on the wagon, but I peeked out of the wagon once more as I asked with a big smile, "Is she really that op currently?"

"Yes, pretty Op," answered Emilia.

{op- overpowered.}

"You seem happy that you will meet her soon." said dad to which I replied with "No, I am just happy about the fact that she is op now."

"By the way, you will meet up with Sylphy soon." said dad out of nowhere as the wagon started moving.

upon hearing that I once again peaked out of the wagon as I asked "How?!"

dad waved his hand as he said, "That's a secret."

The wagon moved out of the gate and eventually, dad's voice became audible. I sat back inside the wagon as I asked Aunt Sofia who was riding the wagon, "How much time till we reach there?"

To which aunt Sofia replied, "In half an hour we will enter the Frey nation and after three days of traveling we will reach there."

"That's not so far away," said Aetna. 

"Actually By road, it will take more time, but we will take various different means to reach there faster."

"Okay!"

"By the way Grey, are you excited to meet your old crush?" asked Grandma Lozen out of nowhere and this topic caught Aetna's attention like nothing. 

Her eyes were locked on us and she wasn't even trying to hide the fact that she was listening closely to the conversation. But as much as I remember I never had any old crush. 

I looked at Grandma Lozen with confusion, looking at my confused face she answered, "I am talking about Sylphy."

"What are you talking about? I never had a crush on her." I denied it quickly to which Grandma Lozen made a smug face as she said,

"Now now, don't need to lie, it was obvious that the kid you had a huge crush on her."

I looked out of the window, as I answered, "I didn't have a crush on her, I just really admired the person she was. I don't know if she is still the same person."

"She is currently in a heroes party, and she is still the same person he used to be. Just like how you used to admire Sylphy,  Eira used to admire you as a kid, it was obvious from her eyes."

"She surely would be disappointed knowing that I am not the same person I used to be."

"People change, Grey, but I am sure that she would be thrilled to see you," said Grandma Lozen. 

As we were talking, we already reached the border of Frey nation and after five minutes we were inside the Frey nation. Just like this, we went on to travel for one and a half-day to reach the place where Heka Maho magic academy was present and for that, we had to go along the stream of Nadi river to reach there. 

We were on board a private boat to reach the Heka Maho magic academy after traveling through the streams of the Nadi River. after half day of traveling through the river, we finally reached our destination and reached the place where we needed to board off the boat. 

The place we boarded off to was Vashi city, this city was the place where Heko Maho magic academy.
