Months go by as Rem continued his daily routine of training. Maria in Macarath was able to get the cash that she was intending to get from Joshua. The guy didn't even had a shed of reluctance when he gave the money and even shamelessly said flattery words to them. He then left afterwards without even bothering to say goodbye to them. Maria and the gang then started to spend their days at Macarath with the intention to rest and train.
As for Rem's clone at Cheve, it continued it's days training with the other boys and started to get those boys close to him. Every month, Rem's clone will partake in the monthly axe departmental competition. At his first time and second time, he didn't placed in the top 10 ranking but only at the upper ranks of 50. But as the monthly competition passes, his ranking was steadily increasing at a faster rate making Fernand proud of him. Others from the higher ups of the axe department started to take notice of Rem's presence but didn't do any moves yet as they wanted to observe for now.
"I learned three support spells from Maria's teaching which are Freeze, Physic, and Silence. I thought that I'll easily learn many spells in the past months but they are harder than the Heal Spell, I was still fast in learning them compared to others though as said by Maria." Rem mumbles in his bed.
[Freeze
Effects: Makes the target immobilized and unable to move. The User's magic and the target's magic will set the time for how long the target will be immobilized. The higher the User's magic power compared to the target will make the Freeze duration longer and vice versa. Range from 1 meter to (User's magic/2) meters. Cost 10 SP per use.]
A powerful spell but has a huge amount of SP usage. Rem can only use it two times then he's almost out of SP afterwards.
[Physic
Effects: Instantly restores (User's Magic ÷3) HP to others and self. Range from 1 meter to (User's magic/2) meters. Cost 3 SP per use.]
Like the heal spell but can help Rem heal others in a certain range.
[Silence
Effects: Makes the target unable to speak or create sounds. The User's magic and the target's magic will set the time for how long the target will be silenced. The higher the User's magic power compared to the target will make the Silence duration longer and vice versa. Range from 1 meter to (User's magic/2) meters. Cost 10 SP per use.]
Basically like the Freeze spell but has a different effect.
"I also leveled up in a few levels and I'm almost level 20. I also learned a new skill when I reached level 15 which was the HP+5. A simple skill that increase my health points by 5. I also made my weapon masteries leveled up."
"Tomorrow, my parents will arrive. Hopefully they'll let Nyx stay, she already got attached to me and always stays at my side. I have to make sure to convince them. Hane and Ven are already comfortable with her except for Sean. He was still wary of Nyx even until now but it lessened unlike before." Rem mumbles as he soon closes his eyes to sleep.
--
"Young master! Young master! The Alpha and Miss Nie has arrived! Let's go meet them at the tribe's entrance! Quick!" Hane excitedly says as he bangs Rem's wooden door.
"Why so early? Let me rest for 5 more minutes." Rem grumbled as he covers his body with the blanket.
"Sorry for you, young master. But we can't do that, please wake up." Ven appeared behind Hane as she started to pull Rem's blanket away. Rem can only grumbled out complains as he stands up.
"I've prepared your clothes and the bath. Please go with Hane as she takes care of you. Do it quickly, young master." Ven requested as she pushes Rem to Hane.
Hane nods at Ven as she carries the grumbling Rem towards the bathroom and start to clean him up. Rem was already used to getting cleaned up by the two and has no complains from being seen naked. It only took them 10 minutes to prepare, and Rem was soon clothed to his finest clothes. His hair was also groomed just for the occasion.
"Let's go quickly, young master." Ven pulls Rem out of their house where Nyx and Sean was waiting.
"There you are, Kein. Let us go and meet your parents. I want to see the wonderful children that gave birth to you." Nyx commented as she holds Rem hand.
"I bet you miss your parents, Kein. Can't wait to see Kai and Nie's face when they learned how talented you are in combat." Sean shows a proud smile as he pats Rem's back.
"Yeah, I hope I can make my parents proud with the results of my training. I can't wait to see them. I miss them so much." Rem answered as they walk towards the entrance of the tribe.
As they got closer to the entrance, they can see many tribespeople gathering around a group of people. They all have joyful expressions as they take some goods from Kai and his group's caravan.
"Mom! Dad!" Rem shouted as he run after his parents. He needs to keep the act of a doting son to keep his image even if he doesn't want to act like this.
"Son! You've grown taller." Kai said as he carries Rem.
"It seems that I passed Rem to capable hands. Thank you, Hane, Ven." Nie says as she bows her head to the two girls. They blushed seeing their alpha's wife bow to them.
"It's nothing, Miss Nie." Hane quickly replied feeling flustered from Nie's praise.
"Yeah, Miss Nie. The young master was obedient and not hard to take care of. He is mature for his age unlike the others after all." Ven added as she scratches her ears.
"It's good that he behaved well. How about his training, Sean? Did he do well?" Nie asked.
"Well? He didn't only do well, he actually exceeded my expectations. I can assure you that Kein will surely bring our tribe to greater heights when he becomes the Alpha in the future." Sean proudly says with a big smile. He was proud that he became Rem's teacher. A genius student is like a teacher's treasure, they are valuable and needs to be taken care of. Most importantly, it's a thing that they can brag of to others.
Hearing this, made Nie and Kai smile brightly. They can't help but feel joy when they heard Rem's achievements. They felt like they achieved what Rem did.
"This calls for a feast then!" Kai shouted making the others shout happily with him.
"Idiot! We can't afford to do that. Remember that Kein's birthday will come in a few days. We have to save some meat for it or else we won't be celebrating with any food." Nie reprimanded making the tribespeople sigh in disappointment.
"Hehehehe. You heard my wife everyone, we'll be doing the celebration in the next few days. Sorry, folks hahahahaha!" Kai laughed awkwardly as he blushes.
"Anyways, you guys go and divide the supplies we got this time to the tribe." Nie organized the tribespeoples' share of supplies to the guards. Being an Alpha's wife is not about only being pretty but also having the capabilities to lead.
"Yes, Miss Nie." One of the guards say as they start unloading.
"Hey, who is this girl? Never seen her before." Kai asked as he looks at Nyx. She was currently waiting out of the crowd since she knew that the other tribespeople are wary of her.
"That's sister Nyx, Dad. She a nice person and she is staying here with us for a few months now." Rem answered as he signals for Nyx to come over.
"You called, Kein?" Nyx said as he ruffles with Rem's hair.
"This is my dad, Kai and my mom, Nie." Rem introduced.
"So, these are the children that gave birth to Kein. Pleasant to meet you two." Nyx said as she held out her hand, Usually she wouldn't do this but meeting Rem's parents, she made an exception. She wanted to give a good impression to them since she wanted to appear like a good person to them.
"The same can be said with us, Nyx. But what's up with you calling us 'children'? We're older than you though." Nie shook Nyx's hand and Kai followed after.
"I think it's better to discuss this at the your place, Kai." Sean suggested since the tribespeople are getting tense as Nyx's presence lingers.
"Alright." Nie and Kai nodded as they went home together with Sean and the others.
--
"So, care to give us an explanation?" Nie asked as they all sat on the kitchen table.
"You see..." Sean then started narrating how they met Nyx and how dangerous her existence is.
"You're saying that this young looking girl, has the power to destroy our tribe if she wants to? You must be joking." Kai was not believing any word that Sean said as he looks at the small figure of Nyx.
"Every word I said is the truth. You can ask Hane and Ven here and they'll tell the same. Even Elder Oro can vouch that I'm telling the truth." Sean replied.
"If I may speak, Sean here was telling the truth. I do want to say though that I have no power to destroy your tribe. In the past, I may do that but not anymore." Nyx spoke.
"As if we can believe that, for all we know, you might just be saying this to let our guard down." Sean commented as he was still wary of Nyx. He might have spent some time with her in the past months but that doesn't mean that he is letting his guard down.
