After Akio saw the major improvement to the overall strength of his body, after eating the leader boar's meat, after doing slight stretches to test his body, to this newfound or you could say normal strength like he had when he was still living in the modern era, Akio then finally picked up the sack filled with the boar's bone in one of his shoulders along with the remaining meat, left of the boar's body and headed back to the camp.
When Akio had arrived in the camp, he didn't realize that the sun was already about to rise as he was too distracted with training, hunting the boar, and directing the boar to notice that the time had flown by so fast. So when he finally arrived in the can't, he saw that almost everyone in the group had already stolen up and seemingly worried as they discussed something in the middle.
As Akio was dragging the bones and carrying the meat into the camp, Akio's Father, along with Emily, who was the scout of the group, quickly realized his presence due to their high sensing skills either gained by talent or just pure experience in the line of working in hunting.
Then, despite him noticing it, Akio quickly saw that his little sister, who was one of the first to notice his return, suddenly ran towards himself with quick speeds that, despite his body's strengthening, Akio still couldn't dodge.
After Emily, towards the ground, had successfully tackled Akio, he saw that his sister had a few tear droplets in her eyes, reminding Akio of a similar scene, with Yuzuhira once before, when they were still in the orphanage. Seeing this scene, Akio, who was about to get her initially out on top of himself, now decided to let her vent on himself, as he thought of why his sister even ran towards him with tears in her eyes, and knew what she might have been anxious, of him not being inside their tents earlier, without notice, and had not even been noticed by both Bane and Sasha, who was the one guard the whole knight for the party.
While he had laid down on the ground while Emily continued slightly bashing her tiny hands on his chest out of frustration and worriedness for Akio, he then heard Emily start saying with a bit of anger in her voice.
[Emily] "I can't believe you left the camp without telling anyone, Akio," she sobbed. Her throat felt swollen, and she stuttered as she tried to speak the words in her head. "I was worried along with Dad and our other siblings, and even Kuroka-san, was even with what happened to both of you yesterday," she said at last.
After he heard those words, Akio, who was initially surprised that Kuroka, who seemed to have wanted to have not wanted to talk to him anymore, based on her reactions the day before, but as Akio realized his current situation, he decided to think of the matter about Kuroka as he patted his sister's head while comforting her, so to both help him finally get up, and for her to become less angry and worried about him.
After a few minutes of calming her down, Akio had finally managed to get Emily of himself while making her not as angry as before; after Akio stood up, he then saw his father and all his other siblings taking a look at the sack of bones, as well as the meat he had brought over earlier before he was tackled to the ground by Emily with a fascinating look and a face of delight they to the delicious smell coming from the cooked meat.
Then seeing that they were really looking at the meat with looks of great hunger with some of his siblings, mainly Mikohara, who was the relative foody of the family, was even letting down mouthfuls of saliva, with a few growls in their stomachs, due to them not having their breakfast yet.
As I saw that they seemed to be really interested in the boar's remaining meat, I then sighed as I then said to them.
[Akio]"(Sighing)" It's about time for breakfast, right guys, so how about we talk about what had happened to me this last few hours, as we eat the breakfast since I can see that you all quite hungry, aren't you."
And without hesitation, everyone, even the previously tearing up Emily, who also had finally noticed the delicious smell from the cooked meat, Immediately agreed to Akio's words as they then started to prepare the place, where they would have their family meal, basically just on a clean slab of wood or stone, like a makeshift table, and started to prepare the remaining food supply which that ha initially brought to be the main breakfast for the day.
While Akio's siblings were doing this, his father, the village chief of Voltin Village, Chief Arthur, was still looking towards Akio, who had already recovered from Emily's tackle as he said to Akio with a serious tone, that really simplifies that the man was indeed someone high up, or at the very least someone who had an experience of being a leader.
[Arthur/ Akio's Dad] "Son, although I still don't know how you managed to catch that big beast based on your weak body, it may be with your various inventions, like that scary, poisonous ball that one time, or any other invention you made before, I know that the beast you caught just based on its meat size, and the number of bones you were able to gather from it, it should be any ordinary beast, so don't lie to me Akio that you just caught it with a trap or so, that you made."
"But if you really want to keep it a secret or is something that you thought is something we couldn't understand yet, which I most likely wouldn't nor your other siblings would be since I know you got your smarts from your mother, but we are family even, if... We... I mean, I don't spend much time with you as your mother does as your Father; you can still rely on your dad, at least in the battle physical areas, since I doubt I could help with all that inventions stuff you make your mother, so don't hesitate in asking us, if you need any help ok, I know that even if you washed some of that blood on your clothes, that I was an experienced hunter throughout my years, no what is the difference between blood gotten from the enemy, or blood that came from the person. Although I still can't figure out how you heal so fast, maybe a side-effect of your body, who knows I don't care anyway, make sure that you keep yourself safe, or at the very least alive, or else your mother would give hell on me ok."
And as Akio's father said those words, the attitude of seriousness quickly disappeared, and the lazy and slightly annoying dad came personality came back, as he patted Akio's back before going to the makeshift table, waiting for the meat to be ready to be served finally.
Seeing his Father returning going to the makeshift table, Akio slightly laughed to himself as he thought to himself.
[Akio]'As expected, I knew that there was no way that, in the last six years, that no one from the village had not discovered my nightly training and experiments in the forest, and base on that old man's words, it seems that he seems to have at least realized that I have a healing skill or a regeneration skill based on his implication towards me that he said he didn't care about it. So that old man was the one who was actually helping me out in the shadow, huh. And I guess with his power as the village chief, even if he doesn't use it much, probably helped me go out of the village in training, and his experience as Hunter, to even notice the difference between bloodstains.'
'Heh, I guess that eventually, I would have to let the cat out of the bag eh, well I planned to that anyways, once I finally become strong enough to protect myself, since I may not know but, maybe some crazy villagers try to burn me in the village if I show my magic to early in the future.'
And after thinking of that, Akio then headed to where Akito was and started to help him preparing the food and the boar's meat for everyone so that everyone could now eat their breakfast as a group. And as he walked towards his brother, although Akio didn't realize it, within his pockets, were the mana stone was placed at, a tiny glow came from the stone as it touched the skin of Akio while slightly releasing a mysterious aura around itself that, if Akio saw now, would immediately identify it as mana.
