As both Ranperuji and Alek get back with the others. Alek can see Josei and Subun just standing around with a dark magic box behind Josei, as Josei looks at Alek and Ranperuji and gets them a wave.
"Hey guys. Where is Maho?"
"He is right here."
Alek drags Maho forward in front of him and Ranperuji.
"Well, that is what happens to you, Maho, when you piss off a guy that can kick your ass."
"Maybe I should give him a good kiss."
"Stop joking around like that, Josei. We all know that if you do that, you will kill Maho with that kiss. So let's not do that."
"O, no fun. It is just a kiss."
As Josei and Ranperuji are talking, Alek starts to look around for Nor.
"Hey, Subun, where is Nor?"
Subun looked at Alek with a confused face, then spoke.
"O, you're talking about the kid."
"Yes. Where is he?"
Before Subun could answer Alek, Josei spoke.
"O, that cute boy? Yeah, he is in the box."
As Josei points at the dark magic black box behind her and speaks.
"I put him in there to see if he is strong enough to join our team. If he dies in the box, he dies."
"JOSEI! That is enough. Let the boy out of the box, and Alek..."
As Ranperuji turns and looks at Alek. He can see that Alek is very upset and, in his eyes, are filled with determination.
"I'm sorry, Josei, but can you say that again. I think I missed heard you."
As Alek looks at Josei with the face ready to kill, as Ranperuji garbs Alek shoulder and spoke.
"That is enough, Alek and Josei?"
"Yes, Sir Ranperuji?"
"Let the boy go before I let Alek make you."
Josei looks at Alek and notices the look in his eyes was ready to kill. As Josei took a breath and spoke.
"Okay, okay. I will let him go."
Josei, let's Nor go from the dark magic box, as Josei dispelled the magic. Nor was confused on what happened as he looked at everyone and not knowing what just happened.
"You guys are no fun. I miss the cold and killer Alek that we had before you joined are team."
As Josei moved turns Alek, putting her right hand on his chest and slowly moved it up to his right ear.
"You was one of the best kids coming from the knight training, but here you are, protected a kid. You can do so much more if you off the kid."
Alek looked Josei in the eyes as he grabbed her right hand and spoke.
"Josei, don't ever touch me ever again.
Alek twisted Josei hand backwards, making Josei go to the grad in pain.
"Okay, okay, I get it. Can you let me go now."
Alek, let's go of Josei hand and walks over to Nor to see how he is doing.
"You good, Nor.
Nor looked up at Alek and spoke.
"Yeah, I think so. All I remember was one second you were here, and the next, it was all black."
Alek smiled at Nor and then looked at everyone else and spoke.
"Well, that is good, Nor. I am glad you're okay, but now we need to head back to the Kingdom to report the mission to our Lord."
"That is right. we need to get back as soon as we can because we are running behind schedule."
"Does that mean Lord Haro will be mad at us for being late?"
Everyone looked at Maho as he slowly stood up for be unconscious as he looked at Ranperuji as Ranperuji spoke.
"Yes, but only at the ones that made us get behind our schedule time."
Ranperuji looks at Alek, with a look that means he is the reason why they are behind schedule. As Alek takes a deep breath and spoke.
"Well, maybe if we tell Lord Haro what happens and explain anything to him, he would understand. Right, Sir Ranperuji?"
"Alek, I hate to say this, but he is 100% going to throw you into a wall."
"O, yeah, and probably almost kill you as he beats the hell out of you."
Alek puts his left hand behind his head to scratch his back of his head and than spoke.
"O, that's so nice to hear. Thanks, guys."
"Well, they are speaking the truth on what will happen, so get ready."
Alek gives everyone a big smile and thinks to himself on how to give out of this problem. as Nor taps Alek on the shoulder and spoke.
"Who is Lord Haro?"
"Well, Nor. Lord Haro is our Lord that we work under in the Zusian Kingdom."
"That not everything about Lord Haro. Alek is leaving out some in formation about Lord Haro."
Ranperuji walked over to Alek and Nor and spoke.
"See Nor, Lord Haro is a man with a lot of power. He is so strong he can take out a kingdom all by himself, but the reason we work for Lord Haro is because he has given us the chance to become stronger than the rest of the weaklings in the Rebellion.
"Who are the Rebellions?."
"This kid is acting like he doesn't know who the Rebellions are? Wait, he could be a Rebellion member. We have to take him out here and now."
"Hey, Maho? Do you want me to knock you out again because I think you're talking too much. You stupid old geezer."
"Why you little brat. I let you win to make you feel good, that is all."
Subun walked over to Maho and put his left hand on his shoulder, and spoke.
"Maho, it is best to just leave it because you uave no chance against Alek."
Ranperuji looked back at Maho and spoke.
"Maho, can you not see that I am trying to teach our new recruit about our Lord and about our ememies."
"Yes, Sir, I can see that, but I just don't trust that kid."
"And why is that, Maho?"
Ranperuji looks at Maho more intensely as Maho struggles to reply to his question. Subun stands in to get everyone nack on track.
"Sir Ranperuji, we need to get back to Zusian to report this mission and the kid to Lord Haro."
"Yes, you are right. Subun. I guess the teaching with have to wait for another time, Nor."
Ranperuji looked at everyone and spoke.
"Okay, everyone, let's get going before Lord Haro sends Malos out to find out."
"I can agree with that."
"I think Malos would be a bit overkill."
"Yeah, but Malos just carries about the killing and nothing else."
"You have a very good point, but I would die to be with a man like him."
"You know Josie that Malos is not even human."
"That is enough. We have to get going. The more you talk about the guy, the faster he will show up."
"Sir, Ranperuji is right. Let's go, guys."
The team and Nor start their way back to the Zusian Kingdom to give the report of the mission to Lord Haro. On the way back, Alek tried his best to explain everything to Nor without making the kid think to much about what could happen, but instead, he made it even worse.
"Wait, Alek are you telling me your Lord will kill me?"
"No, no. He will just decide what happens to you. I mean, he will understand what happened and that you're my new apprentice, that is all."
"Yeah, kid he is going to kill you. So I think to make it easier, let me kill you."
"What about I kill you."
"I would love to see you try little brat."
Everyone else started to get annoyed by Maho and Alek, always going at it, until Ranperuji finally said something.
"That is enough or I will break all your bones and feed you to the snakes. Am I understand?"
Ranperuji gives both Alek and Maho and death steer, as both of them can feel like their souls are being ripped out of their bodies.
"Sorry, Sir Ranperuji."
"Yeah, sorry, Sir Ranperuji."
"And Nor. Don't worry about what will happen because even I don'tknow what will happen, but I can promise you this. I think you will become a great knight one day. As long as you follow Alek around, you will."
"Thanks, Sir Ranperuji."
Nor's started to get hope that everything would be okay, and all he needed to do was to believe in Ranperuji and Alek. Right after Ranperuji said that the team entered the Kingdom of Zusian.
