Last Wish System

Chapter 306: You Are My Only Family

"Are you serious?"

After hearing Yale explanation of his plans to leave the continent the next day, Swordmad was shocked.

"I am serious. Sorry, but there is no way to avoid this travel."

Swordmad already knew that Yale was a reincarnated expert. Although that wasn't publicly spread, the higher-ups of the Revgen Empire knew it, and Swordmad with his current level was someone with the qualifications for learning about confidential topics. However, for him, Yale's past life didn't matter because it was Yale the one who became his disciple.

"Then, I will go with you."

Yale nodded immediately to Swordmad's words because he was hoping that Swordmad would say something like that. After all, Swordmad was powerful, and Yale have complete trust with him, he was more like a father than the biological father of his current life.

"I will follow you even if you don't want. I followed you by countless worlds, how can I fail in following you inside this one."

Yale didn't even try to argue with Lar after hearing that because it was just as she said, she would follow him no matter what and if she traveled alone, she might lose her life and that wasn't something Yale would like.

Moreover, Lar was also quite strong, and since she was a reincarnated expert who had recovered a lot of memories, she would be a great ally.

Yale's problem was about the other four because they were too weak, and he didn't know what do if they also wanted to follow, which was something that he predicted that would happen given their personalities.

George was at the same level as Kermu, but their specialties differed too much. The Space Law was useful in a journey across the ocean, but the golems would be rendered useless.

The others were even weaker making the travel far too dangerous for them. Although Serka was at the same level as Aizu and was weaker than Zack, Serka's value was in healing, and since she was Kermu's husband, there was no way to make her remain behind. Aizu also knew how to heal, but her healing prowess couldn't compare with Serka's Time Healing.

"I also want to go!"

Yale heard something like that from those four at the same time, and he was forced to let out a sigh.

"This travel is extremely dangerous, with your strength you all will probably die, are you ready to risk your lives? There won't be a path to return after we depart."

The travel was already dangerous enough, so trying to return alone to the Revgen Empire after having stated the travel was a death wish.

"I want to follow the master, no matter what happens in the future!"

Unexpectedly the first one in speak after Yale's words was Mercer; he knew very well that his fate changed thanks to Yale, and Mercer would rather risk his life than let go the chance of training under a master like Yale.

"Just as my junior brother said!"

After hearing Mercer, Aizu stopped thinking about the consequences of going in such dangerous travel.

Yale was quite surprised of hearing how Aizu treated Mercer as her junior brother, but since both were Yale's disciples and Mercer was younger, for Aizu, that was a correct method to call Mercer and Yale was quite satisfied.

However, that wasn't the main thought in Yale's mind because he hadn't expected that his two disciples were so much determined, and as their master, it would have been too negligent saying no to them after seeing their determination.

After all, Yale already neglected them too much; if after planning to go into a trip of unknown duration, he forbade them from following after they were determined to face the danger, he would be a complete failure as their master.

"Alright, but both of you need to obey me no matter the situation, this isn't a leisure trip."

Aizu and Mercer bowed to Yale while speaking at the same time.

"We will follow master's indications!"

Yale simply nodded after that and looked towards George and Zack. Strictly speaking, neither of them had a reason to follow Yale no matter what happened like the Swordmad and the others, so Yale hoped that they didn't choose to risk their lives.

In fact, Yale was contradicting inside because he wanted them to be safe, but he also had some expectations that they would choose to follow him because maybe they will be able to improve more on the other continent.

There wasn't anyone on their continent who could teach George and Zack well if the measure for a correct master was someone who was at least a Law Master in their specialties. However, there was a chance to find someone who could teach them on the other side since there was far more Law Masters than in their own continent.

At most, Zack could learn archery from Aiwai, but Aiwai's style included flying, so Zack wouldn't be able to learn it perfectly unless he reaches the Grandmaster Rank first.

"I thought that you didn't need my answer. I don't care about danger."

George noticed that Yale was looking at him, so he spoke, but he had really thought that Yale wouldn't even doubt about his determination due to some dangers. However, he knew that in terms of strength he was far behind Yale. Thus, he could understand the reasons for Yale being worried about his safety.

"Yale, it isn't like if I had a place to return even with Nacesai City having been reconstructed, I would rather risk my life helping my friends in a dangerous trip than live my life without accomplishing anything."

Zack really doubted after hearing Yale's words, but in the end, his consciousness didn't let him remain behind to avoid danger with all his friends facing it.

"Alright, you all can come with me. Tomorrow, after the commemoration for the first anniversary of the end of the war we will depart, be ready. However, it is impossible to go back to Nacesai City right now, so if you need to say something to someone there, you will need to wait until we return."

Everyone understood Yale's words, but no one had any plan to return to Nacesai City as they didn't have any family remaining there.

Yale left the room, and Swordmad followed him; the others understood that both wanted to speak in private, so they didn't try to follow them.

"Master, do you want to speak about something?"

Yale was the first in knowing that Swordmad wanted to speak with him, so he walked without any destination instead of going straight to the next place he had planned to go.

"Knowing your identity, I feel honored and happy that you still call me master."

Swordmad still considered Yale as his disciple, but he wasn't sure until that moment if Yale still thought about him as a master or not.

"You helped me and taught me when I was at my weakest. The situation didn't matter, you are my master and like a father for me."

Swordmad smiled when he heard Yale's words because he also considered Yale as his only close family.

"You are also like a son for me. You are my only family."

Yale was happy after hearing that; he knew how much Swordmad valued his students, but he liked to hear those words from Swordmad's mouth.

"I just wanted to speak to you about your father. He returned to Nacesai City with the survivors of the Roanmad Clan that he saved and started the clan again with him being the new clan head. I know that you don't have any interest regarding what happened to him, but I thought that you must know about it."

Yale just nodded in reply to that. He didn't wish anything bad for his biological father in his current life, but he also didn't plan to bother about his well-being. Both of them walked separate ways that probably wouldn't cross again.

Swordmad didn't have any sense of belonging to the current Roanmad Clan, so he never thought of returning, but he knew how much his grandfather cared about the clan in the past, so he was happy that the clan survived the calamity of the True Empire.

"Master, I still have some plans, I will leave for now. The travel will be long, and we will have a lot of time to speak after we depart."

Swordmad nodded to Yale's words and returned to his room.

After finishing speaking with Swordmad, Yale went to his final destination, the place of resting of Wyba's army inside the Larken Clan.

When Yale appeared there with Wyba on his head, the whole pack of wolves lowered their heads in respect for their Demon God and their Goddess.

"We will depart for a long trip, but I can't bring all of you. You are the strongest, so you will come with me, and I will let you choose another one of your pack to follow us. The rest will remain in the Empire to protect it until we return. Understood?"

Yale didn't want to make mistakes, so he didn't want a group that surpassed the limit of the Storage Space in case of everyone needing to hide there in case of danger. As for letting some wolves outside, that would point their location to others, so it wasn't good because Yale couldn't freely appear in whenever part he wished when exiting the Storage Space, he had some range but not too much.

Although Yale had more space and could allow a few more wolves to go, he wanted to have some spare space in case of emergency more than going with all the spots covered from the start.

All the wolves nodded their heads, and a wolf at the Elder Rank stepped ahead sitting at the side of the leader. That wolf was the favorite female of the leader, so he chose to bring it with him as she was also the second strongest of the pack.

Although it may sound bad the fact that the wolf didn't have a single female wolf as a wife, he was a wolf, and moreover, the alpha wolf of the pack. Thus, it wasn't that strange having several female wolves and lots of children.

However, he would never act as Wyba's father and abandon one of the female wolves that were with him for fear of death because he would rather die first.

"Alright, with this everything is ready. Tomorrow will be the day of our departure."

Saying those words more for himself than for the wolves, Yale put those two wolves in the Storage Space and left. Then, he returned to the Imperial Palace.
