Chapter 153 - Called for (1/2)
”Thanks for the title!” Matthias half kneels on the ground, colour returning to his face as something that resembles an amulet in the form of a cross appears in his hand.
”You've managed to awaken your soul weapon ?” Nightin asks when he saw that cross who merged into Matthias body.
”Yes, I call it the ray of hope. I don't know of this is hidden in my innate talent or thanks to your words of wisdom, but I've awakened the rays law. A law unclassified, but rumored to be stronger than most divine laws as its peak.”

Hearing approaching footsteps, Nightin says ”Come in.”
”General Lionel, what's the reason for your sudden visit? I believe that you had some emergency to attend to.”
Hearing the question, Lionel didn't answer. Combing his hair back, he says ”The Voyager Emperor has requested an audience with you, with immediate effect.”
”What is it about?” Nightin asks patiently, his maturity being reflected off his behavior. While most youths his age would at least show some form of agitation or excitement, it wasn't even worth paying some attention to in his eyes.
”Can't you just behave more like someone your age for once?” Lionel says helplessly as his gaze turns towards Matthias ”Matthias, I understand that you have wishes to follow him.”
”General Lionel, I...”
”It's fine, you've made the right decision by following him. Staying in the army will only cause your talent to be buried up by the dust, just don't forget that you're still part of the Voyager Kingdom.”
”Thank you General Lionel!” Matthias kneels down to him for the last time, adding on ”Don't worry, I won't forget about the Voyager Kingdom or your kindness. I wouldn't be who I am today if you had not bring me and my
... My brother into the army that day.”
”Bring you and Hysan in? I don't recall such a thing ever happening.”
”We were the ones who entered through the living hell trails and made it out, you were the one who suggested it and we are the two who passed.” Matthias reminded as realization struck Lionel.
”I see, so you're that talented boy who was roped in to undergo private training. How has life been from there on?” Lionel asks back, a scroll appearing in his hand alongside with a card. Before Matthias could answer, he tells him ”Pass this to the young noble, tell him that this card will be the entrance proof.”
