Chapter 362: Finding A Reliable Ally

"Lux!" Iris jumped into the Half-Elf's arms and hugged him tight.

"I'm back, Iris." Lux returned a hug to the young lady who jumped into his arms. After half a minute of holding each other, the blue-haired beauty took the initiative to give the Half-Elf a kiss on the cheek.

Cai cleared its throat because it couldn't endure the PDA that the two forcefully fed it.

The Boar only volunteered to accompany Lux to Barbatos academy because it also wanted to see Iris. It had been a while since it had last seen her.

(A/N: PDA stands for Public Display of Affection.)

"Can't you wait until the sun goes down before the two of you tangle yourselves with each other like snakes?" Cai made its displeasure known, making Iris giggle.

"Welcome to Barbatos Academy, Cai," Iris said as she gave the jealous boar a hug. "I'm glad that you're here as well."

"This hug alone is worth the trip coming here," Cai replied, enjoying Iris' hug.

A moment later, the two started chatting with each other like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Cai started to brag about its adventure in Elysium, which portrayed the scene of the Boar fearlessly charging towards thousands of Rank 4 Rat Monsters, in order to save Lux from dying.

Lux rolled his eyes at the Boar, who kept outrageously bragging non-stop. He decided to initiate a conversation with Alicia, who was standing not far away from them.

"Is the Headmaster busy right now?" Lux asked. "There is something important that I need to consult him about."

Alicia smiled as she looked at the Half-Elf who seemed to have grown a little taller since the last time she saw him.

"The Headmaster is always busy," Alicia smiled, "but he will always make time for you since you are his family."

Lux didn't know how to react to Alicia's words because he found out that this statement was indeed true. As the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy and one of the most active Saints within the territories of the Six Kingdoms, Alexander was always busy.

However, he always made time to talk to Lux despite his busy schedule.

"Is he in his office?" Lux asked.

Alicia nodded. "Shall I guide you there?"

"No need. Please prepare a room for Cai and Keane. We will be staying here for a few days."

"Understood."

Lux bid goodbye to Iris, Cai, and Keane before heading straight towards the Headmaster's office.

There were only a handful of people whom Lux trusted with his life in Solais, and Alexander was definitely one of them.

Inside the Headmaster's Office…

Alexander calmly looked at Lux's Soul Book, reading the information about the Guild that he had created.

It was the Half-Elf that took the initiative to present his Soul Book to his step-father, so that the latter could better understand the guild that the Half-Elf had created.

A few minutes later, the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy sighed before glancing at the red-headed teenager who was looking at him with an anxious gaze.

"To think that the Guildmaster of the Mythical Guild that was announced to every corner of the World is my own step-son. It makes me feel as though Fate is playing a prank on me," Alexander commented. "Do you realize that the Six Kingdoms, as well as our neighboring kingdoms, are scrambling to look for any information regarding your guild?

"Of course, it is not only them. This announcement was also heard in Elysium. The Xynnar War Pact and the Skystead Alliance are doing everything in their power to find the identity of the Guildmaster who founded Heaven's Gate. The moment they find him, they will probably offer him lucrative deals or force him to submit to their rule."

Lux nodded. "I am aware. This is why I came to find you, Father. This matter needs to be handled discreetly. I would appreciate it if you don't mention this to Alicia for the time being."

"How about Iris?" Alexander inquired.

"She's family," Lux answered. "I plan to tell her after I discuss the matter of the guild with you."

Alexander nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Are you planning to inform the Guardians of Wildgarde Stronghold as well?" Alexander asked.

"Actually, this is the reason why I came here first, Father," Lux replied. "I need your help to invite Sir Gerald here to Barbatos Academy, so we can have a private talk. I also need your help in forming a binding contract to prevent Sir Gerald from spreading the news."

Alexander lightly tapped his armrest before giving his reply. "Okay, I'll help you. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Lux took a deep breath before nodding his head.

"Actually, there is one more matter that I need to talk to you about," Lux stated. "I was given the opportunity to enter Elysium before the Tournament was held in Barbatos Academy."

Alexander arched an eyebrow after hearing Lux's reply. He had already heard from Alicia that Lux hadn't been able to pass the test that was given to him by the Guardians of Wildgarde Stronghold, barring him from entering Elysium through their Stronghold's teleportation gate.

The Half-Elf then narrated his adventures in the Kingdom of Gweliven and also told him about the people he had met along the way. He also mentioned Eriol, but he made sure that he introduced the God of Games as a wandering healer who happened to appear in Wildgarde Stronghold and helped him with his condition.

When the tale ended, Alexander took some time to digest everything he had heard before voicing out his thoughts.

"I already had my suspicions, but I didn't expect that you would jump from zero to hero in just a few months by going to Elysium," Alexander commented. "Many who have come before you weren't able to accomplish the things you have. Even Iris, who had been in Elysium since she was twelve, is just in the middle stages of the Grade A Apostle.

"You, on the other hand, have almost overtaken her in just a short period of time. Not only that, you were able to defeat the strongest members of the young generation from the Six Kingdoms. Just what kind of juice have you been drinking? Make sure to give Iris some of that as well."

Lux almost chuckled after hearing his father's teasing remark. He almost joked that he would give Iris some juice later tonight, but he knew that if he really said that, Alexander might slap him silly, losing several of his teeth in the process.

"Still, I think that staying in the Dwarven Kingdom is a good idea," Alexander said with a very interested look on his face. "The Dwarven Kingdoms don't usually allow other races within their lands.

"This is a good opportunity to open connections, as well as initiate trade between our factions. However, this is something we will discuss further in the future when you are strong enough to protect your Guild, your Guild Members, and your Guild's interest.

"For now, focus on getting stronger. Learn your lesson from what happened with your fight with the Prince of the Kingdom of Ashina. Until you become a Ranker, make sure to keep the identity of your Guild a secret. Do you understand?"

Lux nodded his head in understanding.

Now that he'd had a proper talk with his Step-father, confessing his adventures in the Dwarven Kingdom of Gweliven, he felt a lot lighter. He finally found a reliable ally that would keep his Guild a secret and also help him clean up, just in case something unexpected were to happen in the future.
