Ryan nodded his head a little before saying, “That makes sense, I think it is a wise decision”.
Dylan liked the fact that Ryan supported what he just said, so his voice resounded again,
“Before, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever get to be attending one of those academies specialized in training benders after my graduation from the current academy I’m attending, but seems like I’m sure now”.
Ryan only nodded his head this time, then Dylan’s voice resounded again,
“What about you, Ryan, would you attend one of the academies specialized in training”…
Dylan didn’t complete that statement, he had to cut it short at some point after remembering something. What did he remember? That Ryan didn’t possess an ability.
And since he didn’t possess an ability, he didn’t need to decide if he’d be attending one of the academies specialized in training benders because he wouldn’t be able to do so even if he wanted to.
After remembering that and not completing his statement, he just took his gaze off Ryan and focused them somewhere else without uttering a single word.
That almost brought down Ryan’s mood, but it didn’t anymore after remembering that there was hope. As he was fucking milfs and benefitting from their mana cores, he’d eventually get to awaken an affinity.
In fact, development for his mana core was already taking place…
And he wasn’t angry at Dylan ’cause of the utterance that almost flowed out of his mouth completely, he knew it was a mistake. He forgot that he didn’t possess an affinity.
“You don’t have to feel guilty or anything, I know it was a mistake”. Ryan said to Dylan, glancing at him.
Dylan breathed a sigh of relief at that moment, he was so happy Ryan said this. Then these words flowed out of his mouth,
“Thanks, it was truly a mistake, I forgot”.
Ryan only nodded his head a little as they were still walking. They didn’t utter any more words to each other, they just kept walking until they parted ways.
And by now, each of them had reached their homes…

Of course, when something like this happens, people were going to talk about it for days. And what was the huge occurrence that took place recently? The rank-4 magical beast that attacked their kingdom.
Yes, people talked about it for days. Even on that particular day the magical beast attacked their kingdom and was brought down by the warriors on that same day, Ryan’s family talked about it at home.
After everyone in the Howell family had arrived home for that day, and they were eating dinner in the dining room, Warren was the one that triggered the conversation,
“I’m so happy to see that everyone is safe, I was a little scared when I heard about the beast terrorizing the kingdom. I kept hoping none of you guys would get hurt by its attack, I’m so glad to see you all safe and sound”.
Then Emily’s voice resounded right after to back up what Warren said,
“I was also scared when I heard about the beast’s attack, especially for you guys, my children. I kept hoping none of you guys would get affected by its attack,
You know, I was home all throughout today, didn’t go anywhere. I was in a safe place which was home, but for you guys that were out there, I was so scared and kept on hoping. That’s why I was so elated when I saw you guys arriving home one after the other safe and sound”.
“I heard the beast was a rank-4 beast, the highest rank of magical beasts. And it also killed a good number of people before it was brought down by the warriors”. Kai’s voice resounded.
“You heard right son, everything you said just now is accurate”. Warren said to Kai glancing at him.
Kai shook his head a little at that moment before saying once again,
“Why is it always like that? Why must all the beasts that attack this kingdom kill people first before they’re brought down by the warriors? It’s always the same case”.
“That’s because their attacks are always abrupt and unexpected. Everyone would be living their normal lives, going about with their activities, then a beast would suddenly appear from nowhere and begin causing havoc,
Due to this unexpected situation, people would definitely have to die. The warriors have their personal lives as well, they are other things apart from being a warrior. So they wouldn’t always be prepared for a beast’s attack,
It is when they hear about a beast’s attack that they’d begin preparing. And during the time of their preparation and the time when they hadn’t even heard about the news, a good number of people would have been killed,
So that is why it’s always like that, that’s why people are always killed whenever a beast attacks before they’re brought down by the warriors. And it isn’t for this kingdom only, it’s the same case for other kingdoms,
Do your findings, a good number of people are always killed whenever a magical beast attacks other kingdoms before they’re brought down by the warriors”. Warren responded to Kai’s question with his gaze focused on him.
Kai couldn’t help but to nod his head a little, and Ryan also nodded his head as well. Then Kai’s voice resounded again,
“I’m sure some people would start saying the magical beast that attacked our kingdom today would be the last one once a good amount of time passes,
They’re always making the same speculations, and they’re wrong all the time”.
“We can only leave those people to keep making their speculations. They are free to say whatever they want to say with their mouths”.
Kai nodded his head a little to Warren’s statement, then his voice resounded again,
“What can be done about the attacks of these magical beasts? The people they are killing whenever they attack are people’s families, people’s loved ones,
Do you know the amount of pain people go through whenever they lose their loved ones to a beast’s attack? The loved ones of the people that died by the hands of the magical beast today would be going through a lot of pain. Is this how it would continue?”.
..Kia was throwing this particular question at his dad, Warren, and he needed an answer.
“The king himself doesn’t know how to stop it, the wildernesses are filled with a lot of magical beasts. Once in a while, one would stray to a particular kingdom and begin terrorizing it,
The king had called a lot of meetings with the officials regarding this to see if they could come up with a solution on how to stop the attacks of the magical beasts,
They came up with a few ideas after several meetings, tried them out, but none of them worked out. So according to the look of things, this is how it would continue until maybe a solution comes up that would be able to stop their attacks”. Warren responded to Kai’s question again. Stay connected with empire
Kai shook his head a little with a kind of gloomy expression on his face. He didn’t really like his dad’s response, but he couldn’t blame him, he only spoke the truth…
Kai and Warren were the ones that did most of the talking concerning magical beasts during the time they were eating in the dining room.
Ryan barely said anything, he was only listening and observing. They didn’t even have the slightest idea he watched the warriors battle the beast until they brought it down.
He was there when the magical beast was killed. He didn’t tell them that because he knew it wouldn’t go well, he’d be criticized by his parents a lot.
While they were worrying about their safety, he was watching the warriors battle the beast standing some meters away from them. They’d consider that to be super risky because something could go wrong which could end up affecting the people watching.
After they were done eating as a family and everyone had left the dining room, Ryan and Kai began having their own personal conversation about the beast’s attack.
And Kai was the one that triggered the conversation with Ryan.
During the time they were conversing, Ryan was having the urge to tell Kai he was at the scene where the magical beast was killed. He saw everything, from the warriors battling the beast, to when they brought it down.
They weren’t in the dining room anymore, their parents weren’t close by anymore, this was a personal conversation with his older brother.
He really wanted to tell Kai, but he controlled that urge, so he didn’t end up telling him. Why? Because he didn’t trust Kai wouldn’t tell their parents about it once he relays it to him, and he didn’t want his parents to hear about it…never.
There was a very high possibility Kai wouldn’t tell anyone about it once he relays it to him. But he didn’t want to take the chance, he didn’t want to take the risk…
