A few hours ago…
Arthur reached his manor as he was greeted by the many servants he had, and his parents, who had just recently come back from a business trip to Sector C, near their current Sector.
"Ah, my boy, how has school been? Has Timassa taken care of you?" asked his father, as Arthur sat down with his parents to have dinner together.
"…Yes, it has… been quite a good… experience," said Arthur, trying to avert from his mind the memories of what had just happened a few hours ago.
"Arthur-sama has been an excellent student, my lords. His grades have been always the highest," said Timassa with a gentle smile.
Hearing Timassa praises their son so much filled Arthur's parents with a lot of pride.
"Mufu, of course! I couldn't expect less from my son," said Arthur's father, a short man of almost the same stature as his son, who had a fat belly and a funny-looking blonde mustache.
"We are still searching for a way to bring your legs back, but we had brought some new All-Healing Elixirs that we got in an exchange as souvenirs, why don't you try them out?" asked Arthur's mother, a beautiful and radiant woman with silky black hair and aquamarine eyes, with a slim and slender figure.
"Ah! Sure thing… (Should it in here? But… it might be a bit disgusting for them…)" thought Arthur, as he decided to simply do it straight away now that his parents were with him.
"Alright then! Here goes… nothing!" said Arthur, as he sipped the elixirs mixed together in a glass.
They tasted quite bitter, but he endured the taste and then quickly began to force his regeneration on his legs, throwing away the blood patches that exploded into blood on the floor, as his parents became startled and on almost disbelief as they saw their son's legs grow back like new!
From the bones that slowly grew like a sapling to the cartilage, muscle, blood vessels, and skin!
"Oh my… OH MY GOD!" cried Arthur's father, almost falling into the ground before a nearby butler caught him in time.
"A-ARTHUR! My Son… your legs! They are… they are back!" cried Arthur's mother, as she jumped towards her son and hugged him tightly, crying all over him.
"Carry me to my son!" cried Arthur's father, as a large and stoic butler grabbed him with his enormous muscles and carried him near Arthur, which he hugged.
"I am so happy! At last! We have finally gotten your legs back!" cried Arthur's father.
"It has been so long… But finally…! Finally!" cried Arthur's mother.
"I am also very happy… But could you… not squeeze me so hard?" asked Arthur while trying to breathe.
"O-Oh, my bad!" said Arthur's father.
"It has been so long… Since I saw my little boy's legs…!" cried Arthur's mother, as she kept squeezing him.
"I am… also very happy of it…" cried Arthur, as he gave in to his emotions and cried quite loudly, Timassa at his side cried silently with a warm smile, and the rest of the servants glanced at the scene with a lot of emotion, most of them knew Arthur since he was a little child, and after the incident where he lost his legs due to an accident in the streets that the family has been trying to get his legs back for so long.
Now, it had finally happened, and Arthur, who they saw as something akin to their son due to how long they had been taking care of him, had finally gotten his legs back due to the efforts of their lords.
…Although not exactly.
If it was not because of Noah, Arthur might have had to wait god knows how long to get his legs back.
It was certainly something that Arthur could not reveal to his parents… yet.
However, what he could reveal was that he had formed a party with Noah, and about the ambitions that he now shared with him.
"Oh, our son has finally gotten strong friends at his side! His dream will finally come true!" cried Arthur's mother.
"Oh, such joy! My son had finally made friends! And such strong allies as well! I see I see! We shall tell the servants to go clean my father's manor, that will be your future headquarters! Don't worry my son, you will have all of my organization support for your future Guild!" said Arthur's father, he loved to spoil his son rotten, and barely questioned him when Arthur asked him all the things that Noah wanted.
"Really father?" asked Noah.
"Of course! However, I would love to meet them! Could you bring your friends here? We can even invite them to pass the night in here, they could get in here early so we can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with them! Oh, and we could even go through the city to one of our favorite restaurants!" said Arthur's father, already planning everything, he was a simple man that enjoyed simple things in life, such as eating and going out.
"They will surely come, I had already invited them to come at the weekend, in two more days!" said Arthur.
"Excellent then! It is decided!" laughed Arthur's father, he couldn't be happier right now.
"Make sure to be gentle with your friends, Arthur, never treat them unfairly, as they are precious allies that will accompany you through your life. Especially in this kind of world, and based on the things you want to aim, having reliable companions at your side will be of utmost importance!" said Arthur's mother.
"Yes, mother… Noah, Iris, and Jon are good people," said Arthur… although he could not help but remember when Noah and Iris slaughtered five students mercilessly.
They were not good people at all…
In fact, they could be considered to be criminals… and psychopaths.
But Arthur wanted to believe that they had… good intentions.
At least, for him and his family.
Yes, at the very least, he was not the one being targeted, but their ally.
He felt rather lucky for that.
And well, he got his legs back thanks to Noah, so it was not as if they didn't do anything good for him.
In fact… getting his legs back was his greatest dream.
And he even got new Skills and powers out of it as well.
It could be said that he was indeed an incredibly lucky person.
He might as well embrace his new friends and help them however he can.
….
Noah entered the classroom as he found Arthur walking inside, every student except him, Iris, and Jon were dumbfounded.
Their eyebrows were raised up to their foreheads, and their jaws dropped to the ground.
Arthur, the crippled and legless rich boy was now walking.
And they did not seem like prosthetic legs, they were in fact real flesh legs, as Arthur wore shorts this day to just show everyone he had indeed grow back legs.
The teacher dropped his book as he glanced at Arthur in surprise.
"This… Arthur, you… have healed your missing legs! Incredible… Congratulations! After so many years… I am… very glad for you and your parents!" said the teacher, pretending to be happy, although he was very surprised, according to what he knew, there wasn't any healer capable of letting other people grow back legs that weren't an S-Rank Hunter, whose services were so expensive that the little rich family of Arthur could never fathom to pay unless they were to go broke for him.
"This is…"
"No way…"
"He got his legs back?!"
"Is this not an illusion?"
"Holy shit…"
The students began to show their discomfort as well, as Arthur was always bullied for being crippled… and well, now he was not anymore.
Noah smiled at Arthur's entrance, as he savored the awe of his fellow students.
