Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Uncontrolled Emotions.

Hero Academy was an institution that was built for nurturing a talented individual, that has awakened their class around the globe. not everyone could awaken their class. The period of the awakening of each individual varies. But, overall the awakening happened when in their early to late teens. Past that, and you could only hope for the miracle to happen.

The academy was built on a man-made floating island that inhabited the Pacific Ocean.

Soma opened his eyes wide hearing that out of nowhere invitation presented before him. Besides the two of them have no relation other than, the last time he was helping them for personal reasons.

Because of that Soma knitted his brows and felt a bit wary toward the two. "Did I make a mistake in showing my class?". Soma pondered. He cast his doubtful eyes toward the couples.

"...This stupid husband of mine.".

Hisako came out of nowhere, circling behind Hiroshi. Raised her right hand and gave him a strong slap on his back head.

"Gahak".

Hiroshi's head bent forward, then he raised his right hand to put it on the area that had been slapped. He coughed a few times trying to regain his composure, before turning his gaze to make a protest only to find his wife glaring dagger at him. He flinched and he lowered his head, to Soma.

"I am sorry for my husband's sudden invitation. You could just shrug it off".

Hisako shot a glare at her husband and made his husband look smaller before her.

"..Ah, it's okay. I was surprised because It was too sudden, that's all".

"I see, thank you".

Soma smiled wryly. "It seems, I overthink". He muttered. Soma knew that these two were not bad people, for certain. However his actions before were not in his control, and he wondered why.

Hisako then sighed in relief, seeing Soma didn't put up his guard around them. She was also surprised, seeing the rare talent that blossomed from this young man was indeed something worth keeping for.

Martial Saint, was a legendary existence that had been told to every generation as a supreme being that ruled in ancient times and led humanity to achieve victory in their fight against the demon race and monster. He single-handedly killed a thousand monsters with just a swing of his hands and his step made the air shake and nature submit. He was like an epitome of a god in human skin.

The allure of the martial saint class was so enticing, that even her calm husband was acting so improper and almost made the boy wary of them.

Hisako also understands his husband's feelings for a bit, because if we could make a connection with the boy. It would be easier to invite him to join their organization.

"I am sorry for my sudden outburst earlier".

Hiroshi still lowered his head and began to open his mouth. Soma shook his head and raised his hand to stop Hiroshi from making that gesture.

"It's okay, let's pretend that didn't happen in the first place".

"Okay".

"Understood".

Hiroshi lifted his head and both of them nodded after hearing Soma's suggestion. The room turned silent, the atmosphere was full of awkwardness. Neither Soma nor the couples opened their mouths. However, Hisako, who couldn't stand the silent time, began to speak.

"Oh yeah Soma, can I ask you something?".

"..Sure".

"How can we contact your parents?".

Soma's body flinched upon hearing those unexpected remarks from Hisako. His mental state was in great turmoil, without him noticing his heart began to speed up, and his blood began to boil, as the memories from the dream began to resurface in his brain.

"I am sure they are worried about your whereabouts. So, I intend to contact them using your phone, but your phone is locked, and I think it was rude of me to check your phone without your permission..".

"..My parents are …long gone".

Hisako opened her eyes wide while covering her mouth with her right hand and Hiroshi stiffened his body. Soma didn't realize it but his gaze now was lowered looking at the white floor with a blank gaze. When she saw the expression, Hisako's heart felt a slight pain as if being clutched by a raw hand. She apologized.

"I am sorry. I didn't know that".

"..No, It's okay".

"I am sorry to hear that".

"I said it's fine, Ah!?".

The two couples' bodies shook, hearing Soma's rough tone. Soma also surprised himself. He is clearly not in his usual state right now. He hurriedly apologized for what he did.

"I am sorry for my rudeness".

"No, it's okay".

"We are the ones at fault, to begin with".

The two of them answered Soma flusteredly and began packing up their things and ready to leave.

"I think we should end our visit for today. You should rest for the rest of the day".

"Hisako is right, rest well Soma, we will come to visit again soon".

"..Thank you". Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The two of them stood up and bowed their heads to Soma as he responded in the same way. Hisako looked at a lonely figure sitting on the white bed alone, making her heart stirred. She took out something from her spatial ring. A pen and a small notebook, before her hand was scratching the note and handed it to Soma.

"If you ever need something please contact my private number".

Hisako grabbed Soma's left hand and put the note on his left hand before squeezing Soma's hand.

"..See you later Soma, rest well".

Soma, seeing the retreating figure of the two of them, began to sigh. He opened his left hand and found a single piece of paper with an email and phone number written on it.

"..Let's save it for now".

***

As the two couples left the room, Soma was in. The two of them walked side by side, leaving the corridor before stepping into the elevator to go to the first floor. Inside the small space of the elevator, Hisako began to open her mouth first.

"Aren't you a bit rushed there, dear?".

"..Yeah, Indeed I am".

Hiroshi sighs in relief. He notices that his wife is not in her usual state.

"I am glad. It didn't turn into a bad outcome".

"You are right. I am completely at fault".

Hiroshi leaned his body toward the moving elevator, shorting his thoughts. He was acting like a jerk back then. The boy who awakened his class was too tempting to be left alone. But because of that impatient self, he almost made the boy turn wary around them. He even forgot that he was still alive because of that boy's effort.

"I should be showing him my gratitude. However, instead of that I let my greed get the better of me. I am ashamed as an adult".

"..Yeah, you are".

Hisako didn't try to filter her mouth and began to spite venom toward her husband. Hiroshi looked at his wife and found that she was clearly in great disarray. Her gaze was at the steel surface and she squeezed her left elbow. Hiroshi opened his mouth.

"Are you worried about the thing you asked him, Hisako?".

Hisako's body flinched and she gripped her left elbow more strongly and nodded meekly.

"I probably asked something I shouldn't have".

"..".

Hiroshi didn't say anything, he closed the distance between them and grabbed Hisako's shoulders before pulling her close.

"The look on his face when we mentioned His parents was so hollow. It was like his soul was leaving his body and leaving nothing only an empty vessel. I don't know why, but ..that scares me".

Remembering what happened earlier, made Hiroshi's mind also stirred. The state of Soma was so scary. He didn't even know what tragedy that befell the boy so that he could have an expression like that.

"What kind of experience did he get..".

Before Hisako got herself buried in her self-blame. Hiroshi pulled his wife brought her head closer to his chest and said.

"Next time, let's bring him something delicious to eat".

"..Um".

***

Inside the fancy corridor where the floor was adorned by a luxurious red carpet, on each side there is a lot of steel armor that lines up in each interval. A lone woman walking slowly while keeping her gait straight full of grace.

The woman kept her walking pace before standing up, In front of a majestic twin silver door that had an inscription of a dragon on the left side and a tiger on the right side trying to reap each other lives. She raised her right hand before grabbing the door handle that looked like a ring and knocked it a couple of times.

Without waiting for any replies. The door opened itself and inside there was a spacious room on each side there were bookshelves that were filled to the brim with books and grimoires. On the ceiling there is a majestic chandelier hung around glittering like a star in the sky.

In the middle there is a round carpet made from high-quality monster leather with red color, there is also a three-seater sofa facing each other between a square table that is created from granite.

On each sofa, there are two people sitting opposite each other. One is a pretty young boy in her mid-teens wearing high-quality clothes sitting while reading a grimoire. As for the other, he was a gray-haired man with slit eyes that gave the impression of his cunning character, calmly drinking a cup of black tea.

The woman began to kneel in front of the two people.

"I have returned, Father".

The gray-haired man raised his gaze, putting down the cup before replying.

"Where are the relics".

The man answered it with an indifferent tone while he demanded the relics be handed out immediately. The woman nodded her head and took the two relics inside her spatial rings before presenting them to him.

"These are the two relics you are asking for".

It was the devil's blood and the inscription Martial Saint left behind. The boy noticed the relic, stopped his reading, and began to look at the stone.

"As per our agreement Mr. Fan. You took the stone, I took the blood".

The boy didn't reply and just put the Grimoire he read on the table before taking the stone and inspecting it up close.

"All right. But, don't get me wrong, demon. This will be the last time I will make the deal with you".

"Haha of course Mr. Fan. Then I will take my leave".

The gray-haired man took the devil's blood and stored it inside his spatial ring. He stood up from his sofa and bowed his head slightly to show his gratitude, before leaving the room followed by the demon woman. Once the door is sealed shut. The boy looked toward the inscription with eyes that were filled with hope.

"..Mother, sister. I will definitely save you".
