The bird came closer to the tower and flew over it. Bolt drags everyone to the kitchen and then sighs. "Phew! I suddenly felt presence of an overwhelming mana. it's gone know and we are safe.", said Bolt. "Well, thought is was night mana beast. There are some on the academy grounds and they are harmless. Luke go wake Hennery. A mid night snack won't be bad.", said Kaya, opening a cupboard. "I will make ramen. It is very delicious. Bolt, will you set up the table? ", said Lauran.
"Well, I am going to make hot chocolate with marshmallows. In winter, they are like heaven.", said Kaya, holding a packet of jumbo marshmallows. Bolt took five cups and forks and washed them.
Luke came with half-asleep Hennery and sat near the heater. Bolt, Kaya and Lauran brought snacks and settled down to eat. Lauran was supping noodles loudly and Kaya asked, "What happened now?". "Haikai is having a winter tea party for all ladies and I am invited. Nii-Chan, I may kill her . She is so annoying.". "No need for violence. Pour tea on her, or make fun of her dress, or you can complaint about the treats. If anyone try to talk bad about you , stare in their soul. Also wear suit and take your sword. They will not dare to talk to you. Just show them that you are a bold Queen. That's how mom used to handle all the meets of noble Ladies when she was young. They are very troublesome.", said Kaya.
Luke started to talk about his cousin, Sanshiro, who nearly killed his other cousin during family meet up. Bolt said that he also once nearly killed a bully. Hennery said that he had similar experience. Everyone laughed as they all had faced spoiled nobles in their lives.
After eating, they all went to sleep. Bolt got another dream, or he thought so. This time he was in a beautiful garden and near a pond, a blonde figure was sitting. "Hello?", said Bolt. The person stood up and turned around. "Hello, bolt, my dear son. Sorry for not being there for you. Akatesu has held me as an hostage. Before he could hurt you, I blocked your mana. You have found a great team. They will help you to save the universe rom me. He is using my body as a vessel. Your mom and little sister are safe on earth. I sealed a quarter of my mana inside you. I am right now in a dream. Gary and David will help you to save the universe from destruction.
Bolt wakes up and goes to the mirror. "Alex...…he is my dad.
He is determined to bring his family together and bring peace in universe. In the morning, He meets Kaya. "Oh! Good morning. Thanks for the pajamas. I did not knew that we can stay in research headquarters.", said Bolt. "Mention not. Hey, did you break a circle. I feel a strong aura from you.", said Kaya.
They both walk to the kitchen, talking about the aura blocking circles. "It looks like your father is an god level mage. he cares about you and is held as a hostage by Akeharoma, that's the actual name of the dark spirit. Don't worry. We will save him.", said Kaya. Bolt felt relived, but they both hear Luke shouting at Lauran. "Oh! Come on! Why do they both fight on cereals.", said Kaya entering the kitchen.
Bolt said, "Hey! Both of you knock it off. If you want crunchy cereals, then add them to milk and if you want soft cereals, then add milk to them. It's so simple and easy. I do both. Can't you guys have a normal and peaceful morning".
They both sit and eat their breakfast as they felt same aura as their parents when they scold them. "Be ready at 9. We will go to the park at 10, without any delay.", said Kaya. Bolt felt happy. He finally has people who care about him beside Zleares. "Yup, it is going to be an exiting year. I guess this is the reason why people love the academy. It is like second home. I wonder if dad felt the same. He also might have a group like mine. I am kind of worried about them at the park. i should keep an eye on them, as I am their big brother.", thought Bolt.
