82 Time to Leave (1/2)

The Zhan Clan's healers were treating George.

When Durgan had left George with them, they didn't know if they should heal George or not because he was only a commoner, but as Durgan had a reputation of being a righteous guy, they decided to treat George even if it was only to made Durgan happy.

After Serka and Kermu had gone to deliver the unconscious and heavily injured Hyrk to the Zhan Clan's best healers, they had also asked for Geroge's state.

That fact shocked the healers who had started to believe that George should be some special commoner to have three geniuses from different clans caring about him. They felt pity that his lost arm was unable to regrow because it was healed with natural healing and a lot of time had passed since that.

Aizu was also worried about Yale because he hadn't left the realm before the portal closed, but as she knew that Swordmad had a token that can show if he were alive or not, her worries were more controlled than the others.

Aizu looked at the worried faces of Serka, Kermu, and Nurvey.

Initially, she didn't want to tell about that token existence to the nobles as she still didn't feel comfortable with them, but after seeing that they were also worried about Yale, she decided to reveal the token's existence to them.

After that, she guided them to where Swordmad was waiting; there wasn't any other member of the academy there.

”This man is Yale's master; he is in charge of us until we return to the academy.”

Aizu introduced Swordmad to the nobles, but Swordmad didn't seem happy as he was staring a token in his hand. That was Yale's token showing that he was still alive, but Swordmad didn't see him leaving the realm.

Swordmad wasn't paying attention to others; he was only looking for Yale since the first month passed and the kids started to return.

”Yale had decided to remain in the realm; he is the one who opened an exit to all of us.”

Swordmad didn't expect that Yale was able to open a space-time passage to the Imperial City, but he understood it better after Aizu explained the situation to him.

After Swordmad heard that Yale had obtained such a valuable legacy in the special realm, the possibilities of Yale getting some privileges inside it were high.

On the other hand, he was cursing Heruk for provoking the realm's self-destruction, he should have killed him after reaching the Imperial City, but as Yale wanted to deal with him personally, Swordmad didn't act.

Kermu and Serka also explained what happened in the special realm since they met Yale for the first time and Serka told him about Yale's secret identity. As Swordmad was Yale's master, he had the right to know about it.

Swordmad was surprised that Yale managed to form a relationship with all the noble clans, but he wasn't astonished by Yale' s hidden identity.

The first time he came to the Imperial City he hadn't any interest about the noble clans' special skills, but after Yale and the others entered into the special realm, he managed to get some information.

He discovered that Time Healing was a skill which belonged to the Zhan Clan, so Yale and Ange should have a blood relation with them. The fact, Serka told him that Yale was her cousin only confirmed Swordmad guess.

Swordmad didn't have a good impression of the noble clans due to their love for trying to bind geniuses by marriage, but as Kermu and the two girls didn't have such intention and were worried about Yale, Swordmad didn't feel like he was talking with arrogant kids from the noble clans.

Fortunately, Durgan didn't know about the token nor Swordmad's presence, because Swordmad would get angry if he heard that someone dared to engage Yale forcefully. That fact was something Aizu, Nurvey, Kermu, and Serka had decided to keep secret to avoid problems.

Nurvey hadn't spoken a word even if she was also there; she only stared at the token in Swordmad's hand.

Serka understood Nurvey's intentions; she wanted to have a method to know if Yale was still alive.

After all, Serka also wanted to be able to confirm if her cousin was still alive after Swordmad left, she could understand Nurvey.

Kermu also had the same thoughts as he considered Yale a close friend after living so many experiences inside the special realm, but he was hesitating if asking Swordmad for the token or not.

”Mister, can you give us that token? We are also worried by him, and we have no method to check if he is still well. Aizu has told us that there is another token in the academy. We will be grateful if you let us keep this one.”
