Chapter 6 - Chapter 6- Meeting the father again

"Very welll said, If that's what you want, who am I to deny. I gave the opportunity to made any wish and since you are so fixated on this. I have no problem. So, what is your father's awakened talent, I would have to think of a role that he can play in our journey." Elder said.

I was a little ashamed because I knew that my father would not be of much help in this journey because what he he no of his father indicate that he is just a common person. He may have cultivated a lot of energy but it can not be used without the talent with some exceptions of unique skills or martial arts.

I quickly thought of what to say in this situation and said, "Elder my father is a treasure of knowledge in regards to the outer space because he have travelled it before. He does not have talent, but I promise that no one would be bothered by his presence and in case of any monster attack, I will defend him myself." My tone during these words were nervous because I wasn't so sure that if elder would accept my this side of request.

Elder nodded but said with some re-approach, "Genesis you know that we deal with the monsters whose weakest king can even easily destroy cities or even multiple nations.  There can be multiple chance where I would have to focus on fighting them and leave your father on your own. What do you think would happen then, he would be in a constant danger. And as for you defending your father. You are not even powerful to protect yourself so don't even think about it. I can answer your this request after meeting your father."

I was now fiddling with my hand which I usually do when I am anxious. I haven't visited my father in a long time and was send in orphan even when I had father because he could not support my living at that time.

Children in yesterday's awakening were all talented orphans. Well, except for one, and this exception was Rita. She got the information from somewhere that an elder will participating in this awakening ceremony. So, she used the her family's resources and power to get into this awakening. Although, I didn't know that how she came to know elder's involvement in this because no official would dare to leak this information due to the fear of punishment from elder if find them doing so. But as it had already happened, I stopped thinking about it.

But we were now going to meet my father, I was worried that in what condition would he be? Because when I left him to stay in orphan, he always stay drunk and in a messy way. So, I was in fear that seeing my father in that condition may affect the decision of elder in a negative way in regards to taking father along with us.

"Officer I will be going with Genesis to see his father and decide if we can take him us. So, until we return, take care of Rita." Elder said to officer.

Officer quickly nodded to elder in regards to his order.

Next moment a red lightening appeared around the elder and it started to solidify into the circular platform where two people can easily stand.

"Hop on, Genesis." Elder said and next moment lightning platform along with elder next to me.

Seeing such fast speed, I was a bit worried that how would I even be travel so fast safely, but pushing these thoughts out of my mind, I quickly jumped on the red lightning platform.

Next moment I felt a strong energy enveloping me like armour protecting me. Elder gave me look that he knew the worries I had in my head.

This look from elder made me understand that it was elder's energy which is protecting me from the problems that can be caused the environment pressure resulted by travelling so fast.

I thought that it would be good to tell elder my father's address so I said, "Elder, my father live in east side of slums of S- city."

I didn't see elder get disgusted by my words that my father live in slums. I guess, power and reaching such position help the individual understand the situation of other people in better way. But I know that this is only applicable in the concept of those people who have reached the top from the very low. This e who develop with golden spoon in their mouth will only grew more arrogant than before.

In just a matter of time of few minutes we have travelled a large distance reaching outside slums of S- Ranks. This ride with elder was much more horrifying than any roller coaster made in the previous world.

Elder stopped the flying platform and gave a hand gesture to me to go forward and guide to the exact location of my father.

I followed his gesture and jumped from platform that was now only flying a little high from the ground. This unquie skill of elder have peaked my interest but it could not surpass my worry for quickly seeing my father's condition.

Elder following me first dispersed the lightning red platform. I started to walk on the very well remembered path to my house that was in bad condition when I last saw it.

Reaching close to the house that I previously lived in along with my father, I saw a burly man yelling out and lashing out on my father in a harsh tone.

Seeing this scene, I felt the anger and other emotions rampaging inside me that I have suppressed previously as to make more rational decisions and gain foot hold in this world. But now he have the support of a elder and this burly man who just have a little more physical strength than the common people would not have a chance to against us.
