"So this school of yours is called Garmony? And how does the internet works again?" Serana asked.
They were walking toward the school, yet it was still somewhat far — for someone by foot. So Damian took the chance to explain many things about his world to both Serana and Hazel.
Both girls were considered superhumans, so their intelligence was way higher than average, making it easier for them to understand what Damian wanted to explain.
Of course, they would only know it for sure after seeing the things in person, but it was enough for them not to make a fool of themselves once they arrived in Garmony.
After walking through a forest for about three hours, with their eyelids almost closing, as they had yet to sleep decently, they finally saw the school walls!
Damian remembered many parts of the school got destroyed when Darius fought against that Salamander, yet it looked normal now.
"I was away for many days, and with the help of abilities, it is no wonder the school is close to being new."
"Who's there? Stop!"
A voice echoed through the forest. It was one of the school's guards — superhumans ordinary students did not want to mess with.
The guard saw Damian and the two girls approaching the school's walls, so it shouted first before attacking because Damian did not look like an invader.
"I am a student here. So please, don't attack," Damian said as he raised his hands.
There was no way for the guard to know Damian was telling the truth, but there were many cameras around the area, and before long, someone with a higher ranking was there to see Damian.
The high-ranking person there to see him was no older student, and he was not even a professor.
"Darius?" Damian said as he saw a man appear out of nowhere.
Darius looked fresh without a single scar from his last battle against the Salamander — his only scar was the one on his eye, covered by an eye patch.
"Damian? I cannot believe it! Everyone thought you were dead!" Darius said, pulling Damian for a hug.
Before Damian's departure, Darius started to like him, seeing him as someone talented and worth nourishing, yet fate was cruel, and Darius thought Damian was dead.
Only three people believed Damian was alive: Aurora, Magnus, and Vanessa! They were constantly trying to find ways to find Damian, yet despite guessing that Damian was inside the dungeon, they did not have the authority to go there, at least not for such an impossible mission.
"I thought I was dead too! These two are friends of mine. Can they be with me inside the school? Maybe not as students if that's impossible for you," Damian said.
He did not know if Darius would want to have Serana and Hazel as Garmony students, but if he allowed them to stay inside with him, it was more than enough.
Yet, Darius quickly agreed, "yes, they can both become students here. Damian, it would be best if you gave the news to your friends while I show these girls the school. After that, I need to speak with you in private."
Damian nodded, entering Garmony with Darius by his side, who departed to show Serana and Hazel, the school.
The school that was vivid with students walking around the courtyard seemed to have stopped, and everyone was staring at Damian as if they had seen a ghost!
Damian had turned into someone important for the school — they all saw him as someone who saved their teacher, Vanessa, from the hands of a powerful enemy.
That was not exactly what happened, but it was not a lie either. So Damian tried his best to ignore all the staring, navigating the school and looking to find his friends.
His friends were nowhere to be seen, "maybe the library?" Damian thought, moving toward it.
The library had more people than before, as the classes were demanding proper research.
Yet, it still had few people, but three were storming through the library, reading many different books about the dungeon. One was a muscular, tall man with long hair, looking like a savage person, a primal man.
The other was a gorgeous woman with black hair tied in a ponytail. Her every movement could drive a man crazy.
As for the last one? Well, what caught the most attention was her silver hair, which was different from most people. She had a unique charm.
"Sup, I am back," Damian said.
For a moment, Magnus, Aurora, and Vanessa thought they had heard a familiar voice, but they were so immersed in their reading that it took them a moment to realize to whom that voice belonged.
The three turned around, and when their eyes met a familiar figure, they could not believe it!
Magnus was the first to run toward Damian, grabbing him in a hug that looked more like a bear hug, "BROOOOOOOO!" he yelled as if he had seen the dead.
He squeezed Damian, who tapped him a few times on the shoulder, "bro, I just returned from the dead, and you want to suffocate me!"
"Oh, right. I'm sorry."
After hugging Damian, Magnus went to the side, clearing the way for Aurora and Vanessa to look at him.
Both girls were stunned and a little shy to move forward.
-Aurora: "Damian! I was so worried about him! This time, I should be the first to hug him!"
Aurora did her best to send her shyness away, running toward Damian for a hug!
Her soft breasts rubbed against his chest, and the scent of flowers entered his nostrils. Damian smelled her hair as they hugged, bringing back all the memories.
"I missed you. I thought you were dead," Aurora said with tears streaming down her face.
"I missed you too! I am here now," Damian said, lightly tapping her back.
It took her some time to recover, and then it was Vanessa's turn. Damian felt her boobs, too, more than Aurora, as she had bigger ones.
Not only that, but Vanessa whispered something in his ear, "we have a lot of lost time to compensate."
