"Leona, as an inner disciple of the sect, Hajime will be limited in his ability to be your master, you will be limited, should you choose to take this man as your master, your growth will be limited, he is an inner disciple only, he does not have enough funds to support you both, are you sure you want to do this?" Supreme elder Liz said then she turned to Hajime "by the way, you've grown too tall what are you now? five feet, eleven inches?"
Hajime nodded
"Will Hajime's growth be hindered?"
"Most likely not if he's smart but your's will be"
"I don't mind, in that case, I want to be his disciple"
"Then Hajime do you wish to accept Leona as your disciple"
"Leona, do you understand what it means to have your cultivation hindered?" Hajime asked quickly
"It means a lack of power, however, did elder Hawra not start off as an outer disciple with no master at all and from a poor family?"
Hajime nodded at this reply and said with a smile "I accept Leona Kalstor as my disciple"
"More like daughter" Hawra laughed as she spoke
"daughter?" Hajime tilted his head and raised an eyebrow
"you don't notice do you?" Natsumi said as she looked and Hawra and giggled "Well for one, there is what happened between you and her mother Hannah" Hawra said with a laugh "and then there's this" Natsumi finished the sentence as she pushed Hajime and Leona together and snapped a picture of them, she put the picture large on the wall and Supreme Elder Liz pointed to it as she spoke "She looks just like you, red eyes, pitch black and wavy hair at medium length, her skin is perfectly clear and smooth, slightly tanned light skin, pearly white teeth" "Kind as anyone can get, brave, stubborn, smart, clever, sly and a badass bitch" Natsumi finished
Upon seeing this even Leona had to admit, if she hadn't already met her father she'd believe that Hajime was her father. "Actually, Hajime, I've been meaning to ask, my father has long since abandoned my mother and me, will you please adopt me as your daughter? I won't force you to marry my mother or force it to be arranged, I'm certain you guys will get closer with time but I'd like to be your daughter, we may not know each other very well but anyone with eyes can see what an amazing person you are and what an amazing parent you would be, so please adopt me"
"I don't even know the first thing about how that works but of course and as a matter of fact, I'll give you some motivation to strive to be the greatest, If you win the otter disciple tournament that's taking place in a few months, I'll even take your mother as my wife because I truly do enjoy her company, I'm certain by the time that event rolls around I'd be more than close enough and happy enough with her but I'll only do it if you win"
"DEAL!!" she quickly said "I won't let you down....dad" she paused at those words as if getting used to it, after everything was processed, Hajime was promoted to core disciple and moved into his dorm, he didn't have a chance to properly pack before so it was rather easy and Leona went to her new dorm in the outer disciple compound as well.
"I hope she'll be okay, I'm afraid the others might treat her poorly because of her lineage" Hajime quietly said to himself, what he didn't know was that Hawra had already thought of this and quickly spread word that Prince Hajime had adopted her, now she was a princess and was also the daughter of Elders Hawra and Natsumi by marital relation
sure enough, when she went to the outer disciple dorm word had spread fast, she sat in the common area eating as she spoke to a few people, suddenly a young girl walked over to her and looked at her with disdain "How old are you new girl? you don't look like you're old enough to join a sect yet"
"I'm fourteen"
"Fourteen? well, you're certainly old enough what's your cultivation?"
"Actually I'm a normal person, I'm going to be given a cultivation method today and awaken my familiar for the first time"
"Bullshit, so what you got in here based on special treatment from your daddy?"
"I don't believe you're really Prince Hajime's son so I don't believe you're so special to get in here with no cultivation, I think you're lying, what's your cultivation"
"I'm serious I don't have any" Leona was adamant about this because it was, unfortunately, a fact.
"So if I hit you with my weakest attack, you should be defenseless right?"
"Well yes, obviously, but ple-" out of nowhere, the girl hit Leona with her palm, a small green dragon spiraling around it, Leona was sent flying back a few meters and coughed up blood and held her broken arm and rib, her eyes were filled with terror, luckily for her, another young girl had been there, this girl had bright violet eyes and white hair, she had run up to Leona and caught her, quickly healing her using a technique her master had taught her
"What is wrong with you Alison? Why did you hit Leona, she told you she was normal"
"Stay out of it Leyfriel" you're only part human, you aren't worthy enough to talk to me, in that instant Leyfriel who had already done all she could to stop Leona from dying dashed toward Alison, the latter pulled out a knife and attempted to stab her but Leyfriel, blocked the strike with her forearm, while simultaneously pushing against Alison's chest with her palm, making her drop the knife and fly back, Alison was enraged and flew across the floor at unimaginable speeds, Leyfriel stomped on the guard on the hilt of the knife in a specific spot which made the knife fly up, she caught it and pressed it to Alison's neck as soon as she got close and sneered at her "Last I checked Nephilim were far stronger than average humans, I think it is you who aren't worthy" after this she went back and held Leona in her arms as Alison was about to attack the two of them again.
"ENOUGH!!" a loud voice boomed, everyone turned their heads to see Supreme Elder Liz flying high above them, next to her was a tall figure with large bird wings that were black and gold, Supreme Elder Liz stayed where she was after her voice had resounded through the halls "your highness, I was just punishing this fool for smudging your reputation with her filth by saying she was your adopted daughter" as she said this Hajime looked over to Leona and his eyes widened, he quickly flew down, as his feet touched the ground, his wings retracted, the visual of this looked so stunning and elegant that everyone wished they could hit repeat on the moment.
