After some time the portal was ready, "thank you again for helping us" the major bowed once again as the entered the portal. Soon they were back at Adam's house. "I'm taking a bath to wash off all these blood and grime" Adam said as he walked up the stairs as soon as they entered the house.
The next day, "Yesterday, there was a massive beast horde coming from all directions towards sector 12 district 4 on Earth. The four cities in said district had varies of casualties. It is said that close to the time before the horde had hit, the energy barriers of all four cities malfunctioned. Currently it's still being figured out how it happened and also what caused the horde.
Out of the four cities, the city with the most casualties was autumn city. At least half of the city was overrun by beasts" The reporter pronounced grimly.
"Well glad I didn't chose the house at Autumn city" Adam hummed.
"Glad you didn't, cause if your house was destroyed I would have to go back home" Owen remarked. Currently they were on the couch in the living area and were watching the news.
"The second city with the most casualties was Maple city, with 30 percent of it overrun and the third is Oak city, with only ten percent of it overrun. And last and the least, millennium city, this city didn't get overrun, in fact the horde didn't even get to it's borders and it was thanks to two sensations who are making the headlines. The video was uploaded on Eclipse earlier today and it's already reached the top five views" The ash haired reported stated.
"God don't tell me" Adam muttered. "It is" Owen replied and true to his words the reporter continued.
"Here's the video" and then the holographic screen changed to show two boys, one with navy blue hair and the other with brown massacring the monsters easily. Blurring between the beasts easily making short work of them and there also seemed to be an invisible barrier stopping the beasts from advancing towards the city.
"As you can see" the reporter continued. "It was through the efforts of these two young men that the city was safe until the barrier was restored". The reporter took a pause and then continued "The two have already been given an alias by the netizens".
"Oh no they didn't" Adam frowned. "Yes they did" the reporter said as if hearing Adam. The name they were given was 'The two reapers'.
"Oh come on!!" Owen shouted. No they did not, if his sister has seen this, he would never hear the end of it. He could already see his his future being tormented by this moment. They could have at least given something cool.
Meanwhile "Cringe" Adam remarked.To him the name sounded stupid, and even if it was a good name, he didn't want it. 'Besides it'll be forgotten in a few days' he thought but oh he had no idea he thought wrong.
"This fucking netizens, who the hell do they think they are to give us names like that!?" Owen fumed.
"It's their job and life. No it'll be more precise to say that's all they do, their lives revolve around their keyboards" Adam stated.
"No this won't do, I'm going home" he stated as he stood up. "What are you planning to do? Adam asked. "Nothing, just make eclipse take the video down" he grinned "and find who uploaded it".
"Good luck" Adam echoed as Owen flew off to wherever he was going. He didn't see any point in trying to stop Owen, in fact, he welcomed Owen's way.
So "Daisy make me a cup of coffee" he ordered. He was gonna kick back and relax.
"Understood" Daisy replied.
Meanwhile while Adam was enjoying ordering his AI, in a garden was two girls, one with green locks and emerald eyes and the other with golden locks and gold eyes.
"So Ashley" the emerald eyes girl began. "I was thinking of starting the foundation of my faction once we resume back to the academy. I would start scouting for talents to draw into my faction".
"And why are you telling me that?" Ashley asked.
"I wouldn't want my best friend to be left behind now would I? You know every scion would have to cultivate their own subordinates and faction themselves".
"You're staying the obvious Lily" Ashley replied. "What I'm saying is.." Lily paused for dramatic effect before she continued "I want us to start ahead of others, and by the time they realize, they would be too far behind".
"Do you really think the others are that stupid!? Besides I think Owen is already a step ahead of you" Ashley commented after a moment of silence.
"What do you mean" Lily asked incredulously.
"Here watch this" Ashley said handing the emerald eyes girl the tablet in her hand.
After watching the screen for a bit, Lily let out a chuckle that didn't reach her eyes before her eyes steeled and she said "That just means I'll have to move my plans earlier than usual".
"But seriously, 'The two reapers!?' what a cringe worthy name" she chuckled.
"You know what, let's have a little spar" she said but the golden haired girl didn't even spare her a moment before she replied with a cold "No".
"Come on a little spar wouldn't hurt anyone" she persuaded. "Okay but don't cry if you lose" Ashley taunted. "That is yet to be seen".
Meanwhile, on a certain planet with rings orbiting it, there was a gigantic estate, the estate spans the size of at least two districts, it was the home of one of the seven big families. It was the De Silva estate, home of the De Silva family.
In one of the mansions in the estate, the biggest precisely, there at the top of it stood a girl with long wavy locks cascading down her back like a flowing nebula. She stood still with her eyes closed as the wind blew her hair.
"What are you doing here sister?" The girl questioned with eyes still closed and without turning back.
"Why, can't I come here to see you?" a voice behind her asked with mock hurt.
