The next day, as usual, Desmond woke up afterward to Alice's room. Something different from usual was the return of their parents.

Besides, Bastian and Leona asked for more time off with the reason of 'stabilized my kid mentality.'

Looked at Desmond and Alice's plight, Noel could only shake her head and give them time off. Since then, Desmond's family became alive, with Desmond finally finds a substitute teacher, Bastian, and Leona. Their peaceful life had begun, and three years had passed.

At Underground, a boy who was about six years old was dodged several fireballs aimed at him. His movements were very agile; he dodged by crouched, jumped, and used the wall beside him as a support.

Sweat poured down from all over the boy's body, his face flushed from exhaustion. Even he is exhausted, his eyes still showed a wandered fighting spirit.

While avoided, the boy slowly stepped forward, and finally, came to a small door.

"Good! My efforts for these three years have paid off. " This child is Desmond. Besides training with his father, he also secretly came underground at night without his parent knew.

Desmond then looked closely at the door in front of him, and he tried to push the door open.

* creak * The door just squeaked but didn't budge. "Hmm? I thought I was pushing with strength? " This time, Desmond pushed open the door again but with half his strength.

* creak ** creak * The door finally moved, a little. Looked at the door, Desmond became annoyed. His eyebrows goes up and pressed his lips together. "Okay, you want it!"

Desmond pushed the door with all his might, but the door only moved a few inches from its previous position. Angry, he wants to smash the door, but then a notification shows up in front of him. "I see after agility now its strength, interesting ."

He shrugged his shoulders and looked at the notification. "I feel like cheating, but it's a free attribute, by the way." Desmond became excited and tried again and again until his stamina ran out.

…

Exhausted, Desmond falls backward. He faces the ceiling that is full of the spider web. "Status."

Looked at his stats, Desmond was satisfied. "I know this is the benefit of having a trait. I can't get to this point. Just relieyed on hard work."

When Desmond saw the class status, he frowned. "But it seems that it requires a special technique to be clarified as a Wizard."

Desmond then got up and looked at the door. He was stared at the door for a minute before he concludes. "Forget it, maybe another time." he walked back to the exit entrance and then left.

When Desmon is outside the underground, he saw the sky was bright, and it pierced his eyes. Instinctively he blocks the light used his hand, "HUH?" Desmond is silent before being startled and shout. "Shit! I'm in the underground for too long. " Quickly, he activates his body enchantment, custom spell, and immediately runs towards his room.

Arrived in front of the room, he looked around and let out a breath. "Luckily, no one is awake yet." Desmond then pushes to open the door and enters.

…

After several minutes of pretended to be asleep, Desmond finally decided to leave the room. He walked to Alice's room and knocked on her door. As usual, there was no answer at all.

Desmond then went down to the 1st floor and headed for the dining room. There he found all the members of his family sat seriously. Huh? What happens? Did they find out? His expression started to panic, and his heartbeat started pounding.

When Bastian saw that Desmond was awake, he called. "Come here, Desmond."

Desmond came over and sat beside Alice. Alice had become a very charming young lady with a sexy slender body, smooth, silky skin, and long legs. She could be said to be perfect, if not for her breasts, which were still growing.

"Hello, brother." Alice greeted with an allured voice and a smile that can cause the kingdom war.

Desmond is accustomed to Alice's drastic changes. He only stared at her for a moment before replied with a forced smile. "Morning, sis. You become more and more beautiful every day. "

Heard this praise, Alice smiled broadly before finally chuckled. "Okay, okay. Let's be serious. Father and mother want to discuss the academy." Taking out his breath, Desmond finally relaxes.

After three years, not only did Desmond looked more handsome and mature, changes also occurred to Alice. Alice is no longer lazy in training and is started to be serious. Since the incident three years ago almost made Alice change entirely from what could be said to be like a younger sister. The tsundere child now became an oneesan big sister.

The thing that hasn't changed from Alice is her love for Desmond. You could even say that her passion had gotten bigger since the incident three years ago.

* ehm * "Enough chit-chat, young people, first discuss this matter." Leona then took out a letter, which had the king's stamp on it.

Is that a letter from the king? Looked at the latter, Desmond raised his eyebrows.

When all the attention focused on the letter, Bastian then spoke, "* ehm * let me explain.

"In the morning, we also got a message from Noel to return to the troops. Since we had taken three years off, we could not refuse the order. Besides Noel's message, we also got a letter from King Edward stating that he will hold a party. We think this party will discuss selecting the grandmaster, which has been late one year.

"Only people who have been elected was invited as a form of a very deep bond. Therefore, we decided that you will attend the party as our representative." After he spoke, Bastian then cleared his throat and looked at Desmond and Alice.

"Because this is so urgent, father and mother can't participate. I even received information from Noel that the situation at the border was getting worse with the assassins who kept trying to enter." When she talked about the assassin problem, Leona felt disgusted, and her gaze became serious.

"Okay, no problem as long as I am with Desmond." This time, it was Alice who decided and looked at Desmond while held Desmond's hand.

"Yes." short and clear, Desmond didn't know how else to refuse. Besides that, he knew that this party will cause a lot of problems. One problem solved, and another problem arises, the world never peaceful for me.'*sigh*

Bastian and Leona then looked at each other before finally looked at Desmond and Alice again while nodded. "We're glad you guys accept this. We're sorry for leaving you again."

"No problem, you can go as long as you want," Alice replied; had used to being left behind for years, her faith had shifted to Desmond. She doesn't care anymore if his parents came home or not as long as they give news.

Heard this; Bastian flinched. "Sweetie, don't say that; we will definitely come back again."

"Yep, this is a temporary breakup. There's no way we're not coming back." This time, Leona was also shocked by Alice's change. She thought for a moment. It seemed the spells and elements I teach affect her personality a bit.

"Alright, alright. Okay, then see you later, father and mother." Desmond answered in a relaxed tone, made Leona and Bastian even more worried.

"Remember what I said three years ago, boy."

"Yes, yes," replied Desmond, waved his hand.

Then Bastian and Leona went by train. Leona saw Desmond waved his hands through the window while Alice only focused on saw Desmond's face.
