Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Rest

"Old dwarf, can you lift my weapon for a bit."(Argus)

Vulcan knows what he wants to do so he followed. Vulcan easily lifted the Scythe then Argus started holding it.

"Thanks you can release it now."(Argus)

Vulcan without saying anything release his hold on the Scythe. The Scythe was about to drop when it suddenly disappeared. Argus stored it in his storage ring. Argus asked Vulcan to lift the Scythe since he is the only one who can lift it inside the smithy.

To store something in a storage ring, the owner has to lift it. The thing Argus has done was already a very used tricked in Vesmir.

"To think I would see this trick in this place."(Kelvin)

"That is so like him hahaha"(Rex)

"Ohoho... To think I would be used as a carrier and by a Beginner Realm Awakener at that. You are really an interesting human. Ohohoho."(Vulcan)

Kelvin was dumbfounded while Rex and Vulcan just laugh. Astelle was also surprised and she just shook her head.

'He really is cunning.'(Astelle)

She said while remembering the branch trick Argus pulled on him at the forest.

'Sigh... I still cannot believe I was deceived by a branch. Ugh.'(Astelle)

"Thanks again old man. I wouldn't worry to find weapon for a very long time."(Argus)

"""Thank you very much!"""

Argus and the three thanked the old man. Vulcan smiled when he saw this.

"Ohohoho You already get your weapon so you can all go out. Do not come back here."(Vulcan)

The four suddenly disappeared in the Vulcan's smithy below and appeared outside the blacksmith's house.

"Woah... That old dwarf was amazing. Is he showing off?"(Rex)

"If you think about his personality, he probably just wants us to disappear immediately so he 'escorted' us out."(Kelvin)

"Let's just be grateful that Mr. Vulcan forged us a very strong weapon."(Astelle)

"Let's go back."(Argus)

The four returned back to the apartment. Argus immediately returned to the room after that and summoned Astrea.

'Master bring out the food, I'm very hungry!'(Astrea)

'Yes, I'm sorry Astrea however you should calm down or they would hear you out. I haven't tell you about them yet.'(Argus)

Astrea was not really hungry since she was in Argus's Soul Space. She just wants to eat the food that Argus has bought. An hour past and suddenly Argus suddenly heard the two guy talking loudly outside.

"Oi Argus are you talking to someone!"(Rex)

"Probably a girl right?!"(Kelvin)

Argus did not bother to the two idiots was talking about.

"Tsk tsk tsk... You are breaking Lady Astelle's heart!"(Rex

"Sigh... She must be hurt right now!"(Kelvin)

"Argus really is a sinner. To break a heart of a beautiful goddess like lady Astelle."(Rex)

"Poor sister, it was her first time then this happened. I will not forgive you Argus for hurting my sister!"

The two begun teasing Astelle. Rex and Kelvin became more absorbed in their teasing that it last for quarter of an hour. A clamoring sound of fallen utensils was suddenly heard in the kitchen. Rex and Kelvin thought that something happened to Astelle and they immediately run to check on her. Even Argus immediately goes out of the room to check her..

"Are you fine lady Astelle?!"(Rex)

"Sister are you okay?!(Kelvin)

Argus has also reach the kitchen and he saw something that makes him shiver. Astelle holding the new Katana that Vulcan forged, started swinging it to the two idiots.

"Th-th-that's dangerous lady Astelle! I was just joking! It's all his fault!"(Rex)

"What are you saying?! You started it. Do not do this sister you might kill us!"(Kelvin)

"I will really kill you two!"(Astelle)

Astelle started swinging the back of the Katana's blade. Rex and Kelvin started dodging. The two suddenly saw Argus and their eyes lit up.

"Brother Argus save us!"(Rex)

"Brother Argus stop her!"(Kelvin)

"You two idiots deserve it."(Argus)

""You!""

Argus just rolled his eyes on the two and returned to his room. The two immediately escaped and Astelle pursuing them trying to connect her sword. She just stopped when the two has sword mark on different part of their bodies. They also got small bumps and black eyes since Astelle smack them.

Astelle knocks on Argus's door and called him for dinner. Argus walks out since Astrea has also finished eating and was currently sleeping inside his Soul Sea. When he saw the condition on the two he just smirks at them. Two pair of eyes suddenly stare coldly at him.

"You traitor!(Rex)

"What kind of brother are you?! Not helping us when needed!"(Kelvin)

"You two idiots deserved it. Who says to teased her that long. You're lucky that she hold back."(Argus)

Rex and Kelvin continued berating Argus. Argus just ignored the two of them

"If you two did not stop you will find another place to sleep."(Astelle)

Astelle was a bit annoyed on how this two acts especially his brother.

'Is this his true self, he looks happy but it is annoying... Sigh...'(Astelle)

When the two heard Astelle, they would have started teasing her but they stopped since they got just punished a while ago. Rex and Kelvin just made an eye contact and smirk.

"So you two want to really..."(Astelle)

The two shivered.

"Wow, this is really delivious right brother Kelvin."(Rex)

"As expected of brother Rex, my sister's cooking skill is really unparalleled."(Kelvin)

They began praising Astelle's cooking including her looks and personality. Astelle just sighed and she ignores them as she continue to eat. Argus was just minding his own business eating all this time. After they finished eating the two also volunteered to clean the dishes including the kitchen utensils.

Argus and Astelle was sitting in the sofa. Argus was reading a novel while Astelle was just sitting there. She was bored so she just opened the television.

"I am Marie and this is my partner Tess, we will bring you the most awaited event that will happen on the next two weeks here in Vesmir World. Isn't that right Tess?"(Marie)

"Yes, Marie you are right. The most awaited enrollment of the new Awakeners will happen next week. There are rumors that this generation will be called the strongest generation."(Tess)

"There are really incredible people that has awakened on this year. According to the Awakener's Bureau Agency, the number of Unique Class Awakeners this year shot up and was recorded the highest throughout the whole history of Vesmir!"(Marie)

"That is also the reason the Academy's are now starting to recruit these new Awakener's without even the enrollment start. It is the first time in history that the tradition of enrollment has broken."(Tess)

"The Top 3 Academies: Heavenly Palace, War God Sect, and the Myriad Pavillion did not make a move though. The representative of each Academy claimed that they will not change the tradition even if its called the Strongest Generation. The Awakener can decide for themselves on what Academy they want to enter."(Marie)

"Sigh... Top Academies sure has its pride. They are not even worried that the talented Awakener's would be stolen from them. Speaking of which, the former No.1 Academy in Vesmir thousand years ago, Arcana Academy was also did not recruit from what their representative says."(Tess)

"Eh? Isn't that Academy already in decline? From what I know there are dead last from the 10 Academies in the Vesmir. The result was based on the Tournament of Academies that only happens once every 10 years. And oh... it looks like it will happen again within 2 years!"(Marie)

"Sigh... Are they still keeping their pride as the former no.1? According to the past Myriad Academy Tournaments on this last 100 years they did not even reach the top 4, even once. What a tragic thing."(Tess)

"You are right partner, the people of Vesmir are talking that the Top 3 Academies should have just swallowed Arcana Academy. Our crew tried to get the opinion of the 3 but they did not have any answer to tha-."(Tess)

Rex turned of the television with an angry expression. Argus and Kelvin also heard what's on the news and they have different expression.

"F***, just wait for them if I enter the Academy I will topple them in the tournament at the end of the year.'(Rex)

"You cannot blame them, they are just doing their. "(Astelle)

"Planning to swallow Arcana they say? They didn't know the foundation of that Academy. The first Academy to be established that was still standing here in Vesmir for I do not now how long. Do they think that an Academy that is not even a thousand years old can swallow it?(Kelvin)

'Bottom rank is it?'(Argus)

Rex was angry, Astelle just calmly accepted it. Kelvin was a bit angry and was looking down on the reporters. Argus was just Argus minding his own. Argus did not care what academy he entered but because of certain someone he was forced to enter Arcana Academy.
