Chapter 111 REUNION
"Great elder Bai, if there’s any fight later, please call me, I’m not strong enough!"
Unfortunately, his words made the great elder smile bitterly, if he’s not strong enough, then what does it makes them?
Someone like Wuk who isn’t content with his strength would likely reach Innate in future.
In their small world, the number of Innates are only ten and that’s already their entire world, more than half are wild mystique creatures, three are their old ancestors.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he smiles as polite as he can make.
"Fights will become much rarer in the future since we’re traveling in the path protected by our alliance but if you wish to train, why don’t you train with our young miss? She’s clearly the most talented amongst the group."
Wuk can’t deny this, she’s even stronger than the likes of John and the rest.
"You’re right, I’ve heard from my big brother that teaching someone also meant teaching yourself, as long as you don’t close your mind, you can grow just by learning with your students." He shares.
The expression of the great elder turns strange, Wuk has always been talking about this big brother of his and this got everyone thinking who exactly he is.
"Pizza delivery."
When Sean was finally in front of the door that hosts Zone Z, he knocks and shouts.
The people inside were stunned, what kind of corny joke is this?
They can’t believe that their enemies or just about anyone would make a flimsy excuse.
"I’ll open the door." Bear stands up and gestures for everyone to prepare.
When they open the door, a person teleports behind Maki and tries to knock her unconscious.
Instantly, everyone reacts.
Maki, who managed to block the attack with her psychic energy tries to summon her pet beasts but her hand was grabbed.
The searing heat deforms her barrier and grabs her hand.
Heavenly Destruction.
She was lift and then smashed to the ground.
She was shook, if she didn’t react quickly and covers her internal organs with her psychic energy, she would be knocked out by this attack.
"He careful! He’s strong!" She shouts.
Bear and Frost leaps towards Sean.
He easily dodges the attack with a basic martial art that he learned from the Martial Alliance.
He then spins and kicks the two of them, Bear managed to block the attack while Frost was hit in the face.
Fabuki teleports to his side and tries to capture him with a whip made out of psychic energy.
Sean clicks his tongue and hardens his body, when the whip tries to strangle him, he burns it with fire element, his moves are sealed as they might discover his true identity.
Christine makes a move and hits him with a palm powered by wind element, he was blown away, crashing into a wall.
He stands up, trembling.
He didn’t take any damage, he disperses the force with Limp and when he was near the wall, he punches it with the remaining force and added his own.
’As expected, they became better at coordinating, besides, they hadn’t gotten serious yet, are they buying time for reinforcement to arrive?’
He starts laughing out loud and no longer acts like he’s trembling.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"Die!"
Both Bear and Frost dashes towards him while his body was locked by Maki.
Fabuki was on standby, together with Christine.
When their two fists hits him, their faces turns pale, they feel like they hit a steel wall.
Indestructible!
He then dashes towards Maki.
Dash + Speed Force.
His alarms everyone as Maki creates a wall of psychic energy in front of her but he punches it and then Blink.
Beast Style Technique
Coiling Snake
Before he can strangle her, a fox appears and substitutes herself with Maki.
Looking at the struggling fox in his hand and the people that are now on the verge of attacking him.
He raises his hand. "I give up, you guys win."
BOOM!
Both Maki and Fabuki creates a shield for him, startling the others.
"Sean, is that you?" Fabuki asks incredulously.
"Guilty." He laughs out loud as his body deflates.
Both the girls immediately leaps at his embrace and hugs him but realizing what they did, they take a step back and blushes.
Maki punches his shoulder. "Don’t surprise us like that!?"
"Sorry, sorry, I just want to see just how alert you guys are." He chuckles.
"Call everyone, tell them, that I have returned."
Maki and Fabuki immediately blinks into their individual room.
Upon hearing the news, everyone immediately went to the entrance.
"Sean!
"Big brother!"
"Sensei!"
Without hesitation, those from City Z5 leaps to his embrace, crying their eyes out.
Suddenly, a humanoid figure appears in front of him, due to their connection, he immediately knew who she was.

It seems that she hasn’t been slacking, even though the ability she gain isn’t something overpowered, it enhances her already superb intelligence.
Not to mention, her abilities improved.
Spiritual Charm (Legendary): Increase spiritual power, charm and absorption of spiritual energy.

Seduce: Can ensl*ve an opposite sex to do her bidding.

All her skills also improved, other than Hypnotize, a skill she barely uses, all of her other skills are now at advanced grade, much more lethal than before.
Unfortunately, compared to the evolution that the others underwent, hers is considered a bit underwhelming.
But he’s already happy, as long as she reaches gold rank quickly, she’ll be a tremendous help for him.
"So, tell me, what kind of adventures did you guys experienced?"
Unlike his, their journey was actually much more perilous, the number of mystique creatures they had fought was nearing hundreds of thousands.
If it weren’t for the fact that they met up with the other zones, they might had not reached the Core Zone.
He’s no longer confused as to where Jasmine gets a lot of souls to absorb, with such a large number of mystique creatures coming their way, she wasn’t lacking preys.
"I’ll be checking all of your progress." He laughs out loud before turning to the other students.
"And I meant all of you."
Everyone’s eyes lights up, they didn’t expect that Sean would also help them.
"I know that this is tactless but I want to talk with the principals, can you guys leave, don’t worry, we’ll celebrate after." He smiles at them apolitically.
Knowing just how much Sean cares for his family, they know that he’s going to talk about something very important.
The others left, once they did, Sean’s expression turns serious.
He turns to the others and scans the place with Flowing State.
"Principal Maki, can you seal the space around us with your psychic energy?"
"Yes, I’ve grown stronger, you’re not the only improving." She states seriously.
She can’t always rely on him, she wants to prove herself useful.
With the help of her sister, she covers the place around them with a barrier.
"Good, the thing that I’m going to talk about is extremely sensitive and also relates to the future of our zone as we know it."
Everyone was confused but seeing his solemn expression, they listen carefully.
"The situation is like this."
He told them about the plans of the Core Zone to keep them from leaving, the side of Martial Alliance, the runes and everything that he learned and theorizes during his journey.
It was a lot to take in and they don’t know how to react.
"We need to build a teleportation portal in our zones too, similar to that of the Martial Alliance but I can’t do it alone, we need to gather anyone with knowledge regarding spatial element and I must also sign a contract with a space type mystique creature."
After telling them everything he discovered, he told them his initial plans.
"But, what about the runes? None of us knows it." Bear asks.
Fabuki looks at him oddly.
"Considering this guy’s mindset, do you really think that he would ignore something very INTERESTING?"
Sean starts coughing.
"Fabuki’s right, I learned the applications of runes, there are two types of runes that I mastered, one is the rune for creation of blood crystals and the other is the space rune."
Everyone turns silent, either of the two is quite valuable.
"Don’t worry, I’ll teach you guys how to do it too but I must hear your answer from my proposal for an alliance."
"I agree! Hopefully you can find someone suitable in our city, we need bloody crystals after all." Bear agrees without hesitation.
"I’m not the principal but on behalf of the the Wind Family, we accept." Christine speaks.
"I don’t have the authority to move our entire city but my clan will gladly ally ourselves with you!" Frost agrees too.
Sean smiles.
"That’s already good enough, we only need one power to manage a city, don’t worry, I’m researching how to fuse martial arts from the Federation and the Martial Alliance."
"What about those from the military? They don’t have any representative here." Asks Bear.
He shakes his head.
"They are already burdened by a great responsibility, we shouldn’t bother them any more, only if we gain more Innates can we start connecting with the military."
When he said the word Innate, he looks at Maki, the latter nods her head solemnly.
"Good."
They discuss more about their plans but he told them that they should put it on hold and if they want to propose an idea, they should write it and share it with them after the competition.
Leaving the place, he takes a deep breath and went to the room where his family is staying.
Rather than get an individual room, his family decided to stay in just one room.
When he knocked on the door, it was quickly opened and Yana with teary eyes leaps on his embrace and starts crying.
When she heard the news about his disappearance, she feels faint, if it weren’t for her sister and mother trying to calm her down, she wouldn’t know how to react to such news.
Tsu was wiping the tears on her eyes, she can’t deny that her disappearance has affected her mind greatly.
