After minutes of Fejiro crying and his mother cuddling him, he finally calmed down and was placed on his own seat.
The 'old' man too had returned to his seat though his mind was now filled with worry as he pulled out a mirror and began to inspect his face for wrinkles while mumbling to himself;
"I'm only around 29, how could he call me old?"
"Sir can you please focus?" Raphael said worrying if his commander had received serious emotional damage from the boy.
The man was brought back to his senses as he quickly kept the mirror and tried to regain his composure.
"Right, but first..."
He turned around and sent a wave of ki through the wall, knocking over some soldiers who were ease dropping. They quickly got on their feet and ran off to their posts but with a story to tell the other soldiers.
In the dining room, Fejiro had calmed down and grew back to his original size as he seemed to have come to a realization.
"I turned into a child?"
"So it's only now that you realize it." The man said.
This statement triggered Fejiro as he looked up at him.
"You got something to say, thief?!"
"Little punk! You should learn respect!"
"And you should learn not to eat other people's food!"
"You brat, your mother was the one who offered me the food!"
"So you're telling me she offered you the entire pot?!"
The man couldn't come up with a comeback for that. The mother had only given him a bowl but he had somehow gotten his hands on the pot and the rest is history.
Fejiro seeing this decided to put the final nail on the coffin.
"Eating people's food is one thing but how can you be doing such a thing at your age. Elderly people should show good examples to the younger generation."
"At my age ... elderly?" He said subconsciously reaching for his mirror but stopped himself.
Soon his face twisted as it appeared that another fight was about to go down. But it was interrupted by faint laughter from outside. Deciding to take out his anger on someone, the man turned around and released a wave of ki.
The soldiers behind the wall immediately felt a chill go down their spine before they were lifted off their feet and sent flying a few meters into the air before crashing down on the ground.
This time the soldiers didn't get back up as quickly as they were hurt badly, but the immense pain wasn't able to stifle their laughter.
Back in the house, the man returned to his original position, his expression still contorted. He steadied himself as he began to speak;
"Alright, since we are all here let's get down to business. You can call me Commander Felix and this is my associate Captain Raphael." He said while gesturing to Raphael.
"Wait, you are not a teacher?" Fejiro asked confused.
"I would teach during my free time." Raphael answered before Felix continued.
"Ok, let's start at the beginning. A couple years ago we received word that a dangerous criminal had fled to the city from a neighboring nation. This individual turned out to be a lady going by Miss Ani. We discovered that her arrival here wasn't without reason and we decided that it was in our best interest to find out about her plans before capture. Ani has been confirmed to be part of a certain organization causing trouble in our realm and it seemed that her mission was to infiltrate the Royal Knights, we do not know why and due to the current situation we can't ask her. So last night, word came from the Captain here about her suspicious movements and the Knights were dispatched to apprehend her and her associates. Surprisingly the situation took a rather unexpected turn last night." He ended his words there as he gulped a mouthful of water.
Fejiro and his mother took a while to digest the information.
"And now what?" She asked.
"Now, we would want to know what happened here last night. Including how Ani and her associates ended up that way. You can also add information about the outburst of ki last night." He finished.
