The conference ended and now Ross had to give notice to his students about transfers to other overseas campuses. The final decision was to exchange fairies to start training and speed up the preparation.
Although Ross estimated about ten months, the timelines could vary if the mana accumulation was suddenly concentrated causing a violent breach of the barrier. Stealth was his temporary weapon along with inside job reform.
Brad was happy with the result while Leen was satisfied. When Ross came off the stage, Leen jumped on him and started kissing him.
The people who were still inside the amphitheater felt uncomfortable with the couple. Ross held her wife and started kissing her on the neck.
[You did it for me! You gave that bastard what he deserved. I love you!]
[You deserved to be acknowledged that you were right. Today I'm going to devour you]
-Wow, it started as an exhibition, then it led to a damn lawsuit against you and in a strange turn of events, you made them accept your terms and conditions hehehe-
-...-
-So you're going to ignore me, fine but they can't ignore Dracula in heels hahaha-
Helix stood behind them waiting for them to react to no avail.
-Ahem ... Mr Fox, could you stop to discuss exchanges and upcoming trips-
-If I'm sorry, is that ...-
-You are at the age to do it, but while you are during working hours I ask you to control yourself-
Helix concluded her talk with them and they agreed to meet in a month in Frankfurt to leave for the rest of the plants to verify progress in training. They even had to attend world conventions and exhibitions for the presentation of the new magical weaponry.
Román Quispe, eager for the scoop, would arrive on Monday to start manufacturing weapons adaptable to mana. Leen and Ross were invited to give their opinion and indicate the steps to create them.

-The only regret I have is that I'm going to say goodbye to everyone. They were so obedient and they learned fast, but I know it will be good to try. They will gain experience and knowledge that they will use to their advantage upon their return.
Ross was getting a little sentimental giving the details to his students. This would be their last week together before leaving. Each one would go to a central and in exchange they would receive a fairy to train each month as they rotated in order to achieve the correct handling of weapons and mana.
The news that they should travel surprised them, some more than others. Leen gave them the guideline that they had to be inflexible in front of foreigners to prove their worth, they could beat them in order to put them on their site, although they were already well known on the Internet and that gave them credibility in front of others.
Monday would be the start of the farewells for the live fighting fairies and they would also announce a world tour to promote the new fighting style.

The presentation of the problem with the eaters and its possible solution, was given by national channel in each country. The Vice Minister for Magic and Helix released their verdict regarding the scheduled rotations without mentioning Ross or the collection.
Tabloid news and programs exploded after the controversy. There were pseudo experts talking about the subject, celebrities giving their opinion without control, even false oracles predicting how the battle would be. That weekend would be a riot for the press who wanted to get more juice from Helix, the vice minister or Pryor but without results.
As for the silence on Minister Carlson, this was absolute but when the scandal over Rocamora broke out, they did not take long to point out that he was ineffective in the process. The endless parade of journalists in front of the Ministry and the Commission in New York and Pretoria only caused unrest among those involved.

-Hey, change the channel! I prefer a series or a movie, this is boring- Brad was looking for something to see on television without success and Sonia was annoyed.
-Cute! Look Sonia, this bassinet is divine and the bear sheets are embroidered- Agnes was helping to unpack the gift boxes sent by the dragons.
-Another sun catcher? With this are 42, why do they send so many? Brad do you know why? - Leen carefully took out the gifts
-Huh?! I don't know, they never told me. When I asked, they laughed at me and called me stupid- Brad kept changing the channel
-You gave up because you were lazy. I wouldn't have stopped until I'll got the answer- Ross was eating potato chips sitting on the couch
-Wii!, we can play here, I brought the console! - Morty entered with several bags
-You left the children with your mother and you spent it buying, typical big boy-
They were still doing their thing when the bell rang. Sonia opened the door and found Hakeem and his sister with bags and gift boxes.
-My relatives send you these gifts-
Opening the packages she found more gold sun catchers and angel callers of various shapes with gems and bells.
-Artemis, since you are a dragon you surely know why they always send me the same thing. What are all these things for? - Sonia took the opportunity to question them
The question confused the pair of brothers who looked at Brad strangely.
-Brad didn't tell you? He was supposed to have told you as soon as you got pregnant- Hakeem raised an eyebrow in doubt
-He doesn't know, they never told him.- Ross scoffed
Artemis dropped the bag of clothes and was shocked just like Hakeem.
-You don't know, you learn that as a child. They give you one when your birthday, they always come with a note for you to fill your room? -
-Huh ?! They never gave me one of those, the only one I had hanging in the window, Laika broke it a long time ago, he did have a lot but never gave me any-
-Brad, are you kidding right? -
The atmosphere became tense when they realized that he was serious and the Elmer brothers glared at Brad, with an anger directed at someone else. He told them how he lived with the Trudys and that they never celebrated his birthday as it coincided with the family trip to Greece. By staying alone with the maids, he used to study or play video games.
The Elmers did not know about the treatment that Brad received, they blindly thought that the care was even for the four brothers since Laika said little and nothing about her younger brother but always criticized his uselessness.
They concluded that he was ignorant of the draconian world, he did not even know the basic behavior of a dragon, he only lived to live and now they knew why he always looked sick and weak. They followed their talk carefully.
-The sun catcher goes inside the baby's room near the window. The baby will be nourished by the light that emanates so that it grows healthy and every year they must give it another so that its attribute flows and a note with good wishes to bless it, the more it receives, it means that the child, is loved by all-
-You should hang the angel caller on your neck and at the height of your stomach to protect you and the baby, you will be blessing him against danger and disease. The rest you must hang on the doors, in his room and in the crib so that he does not have nightmares- Artemis placed the necklace on Sonia
-That cost you to find out, why do you have the cell phone? -
-And you, what, you also have a cell phone. I'm playing now. Let's fight later-
The Elmers watched the couple argue and commented in whispers.
-We have to tell our grandmother when Tuesday arrives. This is very serious, they denied essential information to make their grandson ignorant. He doesn't even know how he should hatch the egg-
-The baby can fall ill or worse. When the grandmother finds out about the humiliating treatment she will want to kill Victorius personally. He only adds mistakes-
The harmony of the home was pleasant, so much so that the Elmers did not want to leave without helping them.
-Sonia, my grandmother arrives on Tuesday. She can guide you with the incubation, she can even give you an estimated date when you will lay the egg and its hatching.-
-Egg? What am I a chicken? - Sonia got scared
-Not! Laying an egg will be as if a mammal were born, then you must incubate it for 7 or 8 months until it hatches-
They all looked at Sonia and felt sorry for her. Brad gasped when he found out how a dragon is born and his brothers-in-law laughed at his stupidity.
