By the time the rest of the parents caught up with Yubok, the group had enough time to forget their thoughts.
Rue looked at Yubok in disbelief as she approached him. "You're embarrassing us. Why did you run like a little schoolgirl?." She stared daggers at the poor man who missed his child then continued." Don't even bother answering that. My name is Rue has this bafoon to you his name yet?"
The kids laughed while Eram turned bright red from embarrassment. Yuki was the first to speak up. " Well Eram mentioned he was his dad but we have not been properly introduced yet." After she finished Rue stared daggers at Yubok making him nervously sweat.
Rue responded." Well, I'll introduce myself and my husband, and let the king and queen introduce themselves." She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. " My name is Rue Shibo, and I am Eram's mom, this moron here is named Yubok Shibo, He is my husband as well as Eram's dad."
The queen who was wearing a simple yet elegant outfit spoke up calmly. " My name is Myanna Caldwell, the queen of the Crion Kingdom. This here is my husband and the king of the kingdom." She then waved her hands towards the Goliath of the man standing next to her.
" My name is Crion Caldwell and not only am I the king of my kingdom, I am also the apostle for the church of the Light." The man standing at 7 foot tall, with a muscular frame said. He continued. " We are also the parents of this here young man." He pointed at Michael.
Alexander got curious and asked. " What's the church of the light?"
Michael answered for him. " The Church of the Light is one of the seven main religions in this world. The church focuses on shining hope on the citizens that one day this nightmare will be over. Though I don't even know what the nightmare is."
Crion looked at his son smiled, and laughed. " I'm glad you remembered what the holy church was about. Yes, we care greatly for the future and are willing to give anything to get rid of the wretched demons."
Alexander now realized why Michael was nervous around his dad and thought, ' damn these people are zealots. If I say the wrong thing he might try to smite me for divine punishment or something wack like that.'
Lila was also nervous but for a different reason. ' damn if I don't make a good first impression they might force me to leave the team.'
Eram asked a question. " What is an apostle?"
Myanna spoke up so that she wouldn't be overshadowed by her husband. " An apostle is someone who hunts demons for the church. Currently, my husband is the high apostle with over 100 confirmed kills. They also will give their life for any cause to rid demons of this world"
Eram and the others were intrigued. 100 kills on demons who were technically immortal. They all wondered how he could accomplish such a thing.
Rue spoke up, interjecting everyone's thoughts. " please everyone introduce yourselves."
Eram spoke up first to break the ice. " My name is Eram and I'm the Guardian of the group. I'm also minoring in Spearman." Eram started to sweat the longer he talked so he cut it short to let someone else go.
Yuki spoke up next. " My name is Yuki Kazumi and I'm the Cleaver. I specialize in healing the group and spell casting. I'm also minoring in Rear Guard." She looked just as nervous as she looked at the parents of the two.
Myanna asked curiously. " Will your parents be attending today?" Myanna didn't know why Bonnie's parents had shown up for the other three.
Yuki looked like a knife had been stabbed through her heart as she spoke. " Unfortunately my parents will not be attending today."
Myanna looked at her with pity. " I'm sorry to hear that, how about you two?
The other two looked away in embarrassment. Lila spoke up to clear the air. " Our parents will also not be attending."
Myanna looked like someone punched her in the gut. She looked towards who was looking away to not be called upon. Myanna started to sweat noticing that all the eyes were on her. She started to think 'Damn I didn't know. What the hell was I supposed to say!' She quickly took a breath and started to talk. " I am sorry to hear that, I hope you don't mind us four two treating you as your kids for now."
Hearing that Lila lit up. ' Of course please!" After yelling out she quickly shut her mouth and covered it with her hand. Looking at the smiling moms, Lila smiled and blushed.
Alexander seeing her struggle decided to come to the rescue. " Sorry, she's a dunce." Alexander noticed he accidentally said something stupid braced for the pain.
He closed his eyes and got ready. He was right Lila Threw a mean right hook and hit him in the face. He flew through the air in a spiral and landed on the ground face-first. He could taste the bugs in the dirt and immediately regretted his decision to talk.
Lila then jumped in the air doing a summersault. Everybody looked in awe and amazement at the move except Alexander. All he could see when he turned around in fear was a mean elbow. He screeched like a banshee as she burrowed his elbow in her face. Lila got up and brushed off the dirt on her clothes and then stared at the passed-out Alexander. Not even his summons helped him, They just watched while they played around.
Lila looked up and said something that terrified all of the men. " Sorry about that. Sometimes you just have to put men back in their place." All of the men shuddered as they saw all of the women shake their heads in agreement.
Rue one hundred percent agreed as she stared at Yubok. Rubok could feel the gaze on his back and decided it was best to not turn around. Thinking of a way to get out of the nuice around his neck he decided to change the subject. " So are You all ready for the tournament?"
Myanna looked at Michael in disappointment for leaving his wife at home and taking a job that would let him leave for long periods. Michael feeling the gaze from his mom started to talk out of fear. " I… Uhm practiced a bunch. Though mostly we have been learning theory on why and how things work the way they do. Honestly, I am more skilled than when I started but I've heard that real combat starts in the second year and beyond." Michael gave the fairest assessment of his abilities that he could.
"Of course. The first year is like an introduction to weed out the wheat from the chaff. It has one of the highest fail rates because they don't want those who are unprepared or unable to go to the unknown and die." Myanna said in response as she brushed her golden hair out of her face.
Yubok spoke up to let everyone know of some rumors he heard. " Honestly I think you five are more than prepared enough to go against those in the middle of skill in year two. Now this is just a rumor, but I heard that There are ten students who all scored at least a final grade of S this year which is amazing. And almost unprecedented."
Yuki spoke up because she wanted back in the conversation. " I bet that is Ryker and his team. Ryker is just as amazing as Eram and Michael according to the rumers. And all of the other party members are about as skilled as us" She said while pointing at herself and the other two." Yuki took pride in her skill but she felt that it still stung that they were still better than her by what seemed to be an act of god.
"You three will be amazing so please don't compare yourself to those three. Anyways when is the tournament and are all of you guys ready for it." Rue said to the three knowing they were nervous.
Alexander finally woke up and had a black eye. He listened to the conversation a bit before joining in. " Of course I'm ready! Look at my two summons they are powerful!" He commanded his summons to fly over and show off their power and beauty.
The Sun wraith grew to its biggest size and landed on all of its two feet. Its sharp beak had been polished and cleaned and its fur had thoroughly been combed and taken care of. The frog went and sat on the bird's head to be seen as well. The summons both puffed out their chests in pride. The sun wraith used its eyesight which was remarkable and stared at Erams' parents, for some reason, it felt as if those two weren't human but quickly tossed away the idea.
Eram finally spoke up. " Honestly I don't think I practiced as much as I should have."
Yubok looked at his son and laughed. "That's fine. I can see you have grown." Eram felt relief hearing that. Eram felt at ease for the first time in months. Erams' heart steadied the more he talked with his family.
Alexander asked the question that Eram had on his mind before he joined the academy. " So I know the Caldwells are royals and stuff, but what are your' jobs Mr. and Ms. Shibo?"
Rue smiled and gave him the same response she gave Eram. "That's classified."
Eager to change the subject Yubok asked one more question. Are you ready for the tournament tomorrow?"
Alexander hit a pose that gave everyone in the party secondhand embarrassment. " Of course, we will win." Alexander was certain of victory because he was on the team. He was the greatest.
Crion asked, " What is your team's name?"
Alexander froze as they hadn't thought about it. Michael thought long and hard but couldn't think of anything. Lila and Yuki both didn't have a clue but they thought at least one person in their party would. They all looked at Eram and said. " Hey, Eram you come up with the name."
Eram thought about it but the colored shadows in his dream kept flashing in his eyes and gave him an idea. Eram decided to speak his thoughts from the bottom of his heart. " I don't care if we are remembered or forgotten. I don't care about fame or money. I want to see what this world has to offer. I want to explore, But there's something I want to remember. I hope you will all help me in my journey so how about our team is named Forgotten Ashes?"
Before Alexander could raise his outrage and suggest his name ideas Yuki talked. " I like it. It sounds cool like Dragon." She giggled when she said Dragon. She decided the best person for team leader was Eram long ago and wanted to follow him.
Lila and Michael both loved the name, with the only person wanting to raise objections being Alexander. Deciding he was going to voice his opinions anyway Alexander spoke up. " First off, Lame name! We should be called the flaming fire explosion, or better yet the green team!" A Glare from Lila shut him up And made him grumble one last thing. " I guess we are the Forgotten Ashes."
