'I see, so chi, mana, spirit energy, and such things will come under Energy stat if I ever get them,' Arkhen thought as he left his room and saw from above that all family members except for his father had arrived at the large dining table.
[Indeed, my lord. Also, I spent 1 reality point to change the result of the blood test an hour ago]
'Nice. Thank you for that,' Arkhen said as he descended the stairs and walked toward everyone.
[I am happy, My lord. None of my previous hosts have ever thanked me]
'You are my partner for life and would do anything I say, but that doesn't mean I should take you for granted,' Arkhen replied.
"Arkhen…" Isabella looked at her son as her eyes became emotional. However, the two sisters and Daniel were surprised to see Arkhen's appearance. Even though he was not that fat before, he didn't look fat at all at this moment. They also saw that he looked more handsome and fit.
"Umm, Mom?" Arkhen said with slight hesitation as he walked in front of her. 'She is hot.'
[She is indeed beautiful and worthy to be added to my lord's harem]
"Auntie, the blood test result hasn't been out yet," Daniel said as he saw his aunt becoming emotional.
"Daniel!" John shouted before he turned to Arkhen and smiled politely. "Sit down, young man. No need to get nervous."
Isabella also calmed down and sat back in the chair.
*clak…*
Everyone turned to the mansion's entrance door twenty meters away as they saw Mark and Alfred entering.
"Sit down," Mark said to Arkhen after he walked towards the dining table and he also sat down beside Isabella. On the other hand, Alfred raised his eyebrows after looking at Arkhen's appearance.
Arkhen sat down on an empty chair beside his father. To his left was his sister, Evelyn, and in front was Daniel, who was occasionally glancing at him with dissatisfaction. Probably cursing Arkhen inside his head.
"Ahem," Mark did a fake cough before he opened the envelope. "Even I haven't seen the results yet, but I believe in my feeling."
Isabella, Zoe, and Evelyn were nervous. Will they get their long-lost son and brother today or not?
Meanwhile, Grace didn't have any particular expression. Daniel and John were slightly antsy, but not that obvious for others to notice.
Taking a deep breath, Mark opened the papers and looked at the result before his body slightly shuddered. Isabella also looked at the result and her eyes became moist.
Mark turned to Arkhen with tears spilling on his cheeks and a wide smile on his face. "You are my son, Arkhen!"
Isabella wiped her tears and smiled. "Let us have a party tonight and invite everyone. We have to announce that our son is back."
"Hahaha, of course!" Mark laughed with gusto, showing how much happy he was. He looked at Arkhen and patted him on the shoulder. "Son, you will also study at the best academy in the world, Star-Prime academy starting tomorrow. Oh wait, you look better than yesterday."
"Yeah, I shaved and adjusted my posture after exercise so I may look a bit different," Arkhen said with a smile before he changed the topic. "What kind of academy is that? I have never heard of it."
But before he could answer, servants arrived with food plates from the kitchen.
Isabella lightly hit her spoon on the plate to attract everyone's attention before she turned to Arkhen. "Son, let's finish eating first. After that, we will have a long chat."
"Yes, mom," Arkhen nodded with a smile.
Everyone started eating after the servants put food on the table and served them.
"Umm... Try this, brother. It's very delicious," Evelyn said as she put a fancy meatball on Arkhen's side plate.
"Thanks," Arkhen smiled and nodded as he picked a meatball with a toothpick and tried it. "It is indeed delicious."
'Damn, the food here is something I've never eaten before,' Arkhen really wanted to just devour everything fast, but he remained patient and ate slowly.
…
After eating, everyone sat on the couches in the main hall.
"Alright, son. It's time to tell you about the academy you will attend from tomorrow onwards. It is the world's best education institute. The interesting thing is that it doesn't belong to any country but is a sole existence managed by some hidden force. Only two types of people can get admission to that academy," Mark said with a faint smile.
"Two types?" Arkhen raised his eyebrows.
"Yep," Zoe said with a sweet smile. "First type are those picked personally by the academy from all over the world. These students are smart and geniuses in their fields. They can study for free. The second type is rich people because only the rich can afford the fees."
"So we come into second-type?" Arkhen asked.
"No, we come into both types," Daniel said indifferently.
"When rich and geniuses get together, it can advance the world into the next generation," Isabella said with a gentle smile.
"The teachers there are the best of the best in the entire world and it is said that there is also a secret society in that academy. They would recruit students randomly, but if you can get into that society, then new horizons would open up to you. Basically, the future of our household depends on you all," Mark said with a smile.
'Interesting, this Star-Prime academy seems like the best place to start my domination of this world,' Arkhen thought as a slight smile appeared on his face.
[Indeed. This planet's most powerful human clans have a deep-rooted connection to that academy and it may also be the door to entering the first realm for other humans of this planet.]
'Oh? You mean humans here have already entered the 1st realm?'
[Yes. The ancestors of the human race on this planet have entered 1st realm one way or another. Some entered after dying from the hell, some after entering heaven, and some entered while living. As long as your strength can break the limits of this universe, you can start feeling the connection to the 1st realm and after that connection is solidified you can ascend to the 1st realm]
…
Everyone talked and laughed for an hour. Arkhen familiarized himself with all his family members and got together well. He also found out that there were three more members in this family: Mark Walton's sister, Katherin. Her husband, Jax. And their son, Nolan.
Katherin was not living with her husband elsewhere, but they settled in this mansion after her marriage. For the last four days, this family of three went to Katherin's in-laws' home for a visit.
"Alright, we adults will have to take a nap since we will have to work later. You four can spend some time together and tell Arkhen about some things regarding the academy. Get along well, okay?" Isabell said with a smile.
"Yes, mom!" Zoe and Evelyn said at the same time with smiles.
"Yes, aunt," Daniel nodded with a smile. "I will teach him everything so he can be prepared."
Jason and Grace went to the other stairs since their room was on the right side of the mansion while Isabella and Mark went to the left side stairs. Mark signaled Alfred with a nod for something before leaving, and Alfred also nodded back.
"Mom and dad didn't ask, but can you tell us what were you doing before coming here?" Zoe curiously asked as she sat on the left side of Arkhen while Evelyn sat on the right side of Arkhen.
"Yes, we are curious about your life before this. If you don't mind, please tell us, brother," Evelyn said.
"Ahem," Alfred made a fake cough before he looked at everyone. "It's time to go to the training hall. We must not miss the daily training."
Daniel's eyes showed anticipation as he stood up and smiled. "Zoe, Evelyn, we should teach our new brother about important things. Let's go to the training hall."
Seeing Daniel looking at him with clear bad intention, Arkhen grinned internally. 'I think it's time to complete the first main quest.'
