Chapter 273: We Meet Again

Using his Sky Soar seishin spell, Kraftvoll was able to travel at the inn where he stayed when the night came midway through his journey. The moment Kraftvoll wake up from his deep slumber, he decided to depart as soon as he possibly can which he did.

After he conjured his Sky Soar seishin spell again, Kraftvoll soared the sky until he reached Verrater Academy in the afternoon. After descending to the front of the accommodation building of the seventh grade. Kraftvoll immediately rushed toward the room of his girlfriend, Belle.

Before he could even enter the accommodation building, Kraftvoll was greeted by the cleaning staff of the building.

The cleaning staff knew Kraftvoll due to his reputation in the academy so he said to Kraftvoll, "You just arrived my lord? Aren't all of you students sent on the front lines?"

After hearing the cleaning staff, Kraftvoll could not help but wonder about what he said to him. To satisfy his curiosity, he asked the cleaning staff, "What do you mean that all students are sent to the front lines!?"

The cleaning staff became quite confused after hearing Kraftvoll because he thought that it was common knowledge. He had no knowledge that Kraftvoll was out of the academy for almost six months now.

Only those who are considered as powerhouses inside the Verrater Academy knew of that incident that he had. Before they could depart back then, the king of Walkiria Kingdom stopped them because he was able to know the situation.

"Don't you know about it, my lord? You are the Empyrean Emperor, right?" asked the wondering cleaning staff.

"I don't know about it because I have been training outside the academy for over half a year now. What is happening in the academy? Where are the others? Are the seishin beasts inside the seishin beast shelter?" Kraftvoll asked the cleaning staff due to him being confused about the situation.

"Oh, so that's the reason why I was unable to hear any new about your valor, my lord. Anyway, roughly a month ago, the war in the Krieg Verwustet escalated to worse for the side of our Holy Alliance. That's why all of the three leaders of the three kingdoms summoned all of those who could fight from all of the various academies in the Holy Alliance," said the cleaning staff.

"All of the students of Verrater Academy were sent!?" Kraftvoll could only say in reaction to the news brought to him by the cleaning staff.

"Not all of the students per se. Those who are considered nobles were summoned back to their homes. Some may be to wait until the war is over while some of them were assigned by their own family to ride under their own banner," said the old cleaning staff to Kraftvoll.

"Do you perhaps know where Belle, the young lady of the Schild family went to?" Kraftvoll could not help but ask the old man.

"From what I heard. my lord, the young lady of the Schild Family was summoned back home to the royal capital. That's the only thing that I know because it was unknown whether she was sent under the banner of Schild Family or she was ordered to stay," the old cleaning staff replied to Kraftvoll.

"Is that so? One last question, elder. Do the seishin beasts of the students remained here?" Kraftvoll asked the old cleaning staff that was assigned to their accommodation building.

The one that Kraftvoll was asking nodded and he said, "There are some seishin beasts that are brought by their owners but those that are not are all in their respective shelter. In the seishin beast shelter beside this accommodation building, only two remained."

after hearing the answer of the cleaning staff, Kraftvoll smiled at the old man, and he said to him as he rushed to the seishin shelter, "Thank you, elder! I will go on my way now."

'What a polite young man. Almost all of the students of his age are all arrogant nowadays,' the old cleaning staff thought to himself as he observed Kraftvoll going on his way.

The moment Kraftvoll entered the shelter of the seishin beasts, he was suddenly greeted by the exciting faces of his two seishin beasts. "You two stayed here in the academy to wait for me?" Kraftvoll said to his two seishin beasts as he hugged the two of them.

After a few moments, Kraftvoll realized the change that happened to his second seishin beast partner, Angela. He said with an exciting expression, "You managed to evolve into a Virtue!? I thought that seishin beast core would only evolve you to a Powers! I have a surprise for you later but we have to go!"

Ouryuu and Angela were the only seishin beasts left in the seishin beasts shelter built for the seventh grade of Verrater Academy to use.

The two seishin beast partners of Kraftvoll wanted to come with Belle when she was about to go but she commanded them to stay here to wait for Kraftvoll which they accepted after Belle's persuasion.

"I will go to the mansion of the Schild Family in the Royal capital. Accompany me if you want," said Kraftvoll with a smile on his face. After hearing Kraftvoll, his two seishin beast partners nodded so many times to show their acceptance of Kraftvoll's invitation.

"Let us go now, then," said Kraftvoll as his face suddenly turned serious due to the seriousness of the situation.

After Kraftvoll rode at Ouryuu's back with Angela, the three of them immediately departed from the academy because Kraftvoll was still confused about the situation.

Since he was traveling for the whole day from the inn that he slept in last night, Kraftvoll decided to sleep on Ouryuu's back while the latter continued to fly to their destination as fast as he can.

After a few hours of soaring through the starry sky, Kraftvoll and his two seishin beast partners were able to reach their destination.

"What is that thing!?

"Is that seishin beast planning on attacking the city!?"

"Is that a dragon descending!?"

"There's another seishin beast riding at the top of that seishin beast! And there's a person riding it!"

Those citizens who were still walking through the streets could not help but panic after seeing Ouryuu descending through the front gate of the mansion of the Schild family.

Before the guard could even see Kraftvoll's face, they asked toward him while riding the descending dragon, Ouryuu, "What is your business here!?"

When Ouryuu finished his landing, Kraftvoll immediately went down from him. The expression of the guard who asked the question suddenly changed after seeing his face.

"Forgive me for my blasphemy, young master! I was unable to recognize you because you came while riding a dragon this time!" said the guard nervously as he bowed as low as he can to Kraftvoll.

Kraftvoll's relationship with Belle, the young lady of the Schild family, was already known after they confessed about it in Belle's family a year ago. No one among Belle's relatives gave their objection about the relationship of these two because of Kraftvoll's special status within the Holy Alliance.

"It's okay. Is Belle inside the mansion?" Kraftvoll asked the guard.

"Young lady is here! You can come inside, young master. I'll notify the family of your arrival at once!" said the guard because he ran to the mansion as fast as he can.

The partner of the guard that ran opened the gate for Kraftvoll and his seishin beast to enter. After a few minutes, Belle came running toward Kraftvoll as fast as she can.

"You are back at last, love! What happened on your journey?" asked Belle after she hugged Kraftvoll as soon as she reached him.

"I will tell you about my journey later. Now, can you please tell me the current situation, my love?" asked Kraftvoll after the two of them finished hugging each other.

"I will tell you inside. It's quite chilly out here," said Belle as she reached Kraftvoll's left hand.

Kraftvoll agreed to Belle without a moment of hesitation so the two of them entered the manor together. Ouryuu and Angela were escorted by some of the personnel of the mansion to where Azari was staying at.

The moment Kraftvoll entered the mansion, Belle's grandfather was waiting for him so that he could greet Kraftvoll. "Welcome, Grandson-in-law! Belle told me you are on the trip?"

"Thank you, grandfather! Yes, I've been on a trip last few months. I managed to have a breakthrough so I decided to return to the academy. I am shocked and confused when I heard the situation so I decided to rush here as fast as I can to know the situation from Belle," said Kraftvoll in response to the greetings of the old leader of the Schild family.

"Is that so? Well, I think you are very tired after that long journey. You better rest for the night. The two of you can talk about the situation tomorrow morning."
