Unlike the serious and concerned discussion by his parents Tyche is now in a very happy mood since he can finally leave Ashborn clan for the first time since his birth, as for the preparations he already learnt about this topic from that when traveling to outer space ration, spirit crystal and cloths are the only necessities and apart from them he decided to bring some books such as his favorite novels and books he got from Ron.
As he was making preparation he said to the blank space, "Uncle Grey, what type of transportation are we going to use for our trip"
Grey stepped out of the void and replied, "Young master we will be using a public space craft from a random 8th grade planet near by to reach a grade-3 or below planet as per the rules of the family"
Tyche nodded and asked, "Uncle why is everyone sad or depressed about be going out on a trip, since a year is not a long time according to grandpa then what is the issue"
Grey could only be amazed at Tyche's intelligence just at the age of eight, he already connected the dots by everyone's behavior and discussion with his parents after that. Grey thought for a while and still didn't tell the whole truth, "Young master it may be because you are still young they are worried about you".
Tyche sensed nothing weird about Grey's reply so he just left that topic and since the sun is still up he went out to play with his cousins. When he reached the training field he saw about twenty children younger than him running here and there.
When his cousins saw him they all stopped playing and surrounded him and the oldest of them next to Tyche asked, "Brother Tyche, Uncle Ron said you will be going out of the clan for a while is that true"
The one who asked the question is a boy named Ray who is shorter than Tyche and he is only few months younger than Tyche. Tyche replied with a nod, "Yup, I am going out on a trip for a year and only Uncle Grey will be accompanying me for the next year"
The group of kids exclaimed when they heard that Tyche will indeed be going out of the clan and it will be for a year. "Big bro, will we also be going out of the clan when we are eight", asked a girl with ponytail who is forth oldest in this generation named Lily.
"Yes, according to my father it is a clan custom that every member at the age of eight to go out and experience life outside the clan to broaden their world view", Tyche said with a proud smile since he will be the first one to go out.
"Brother Tyche, will you be able to contact us when you are out of the clan", asked Ray with excitement when he thought about the time he will go out since he is the second oldest of the group.
"No, by rules when we are outside our universal comunicator will be blocked by the clan only the protectors can contact the clan if there is a emergency", replied Tyche with a serious expression and it is a topic he neglected earlier so this means he can't talk to his parents for a while.
A universal comunicator is a communication device which also provides various other functions by accessing the servers operated by True Visual Sect. After some more questions they all went to play.
By the time Tyche returned to his room he was covered in mud so went to wash up and returned to his bed to sleep. After he went to sleep his mother entered his room and looked at his face with reluctantly while stroking his hair.
"Is it really necessary to sacrifice his innocent childhood for his future development", asked Colette while looking back. There Kaiser entered tge room from the void.
"Sigh... Colette you also know we should do this and only in this way will he see the true world and find his own reason for cultivating", Kaiser replied with patience knowing that it is for the sake Tyche's future path in cultivation and let him learn about the true law of jungle, even he is reluctant to make his son do this but he still have to.
Colette could only agree since it has already come to this point and she also understood her husband's stand in this situation but still unwilling since she know about the custom of the Ashborn Clan also known as 'Mental Tempering Exercise'.
