“I’m home. Mom, dad.”
Cecilia was immediately swarmed by her parents who held her in a tight hug as soon as the door opened. They cried out loudly and blasted Cecilia with questions as they checked her body vigorously.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did the school treat you well? Did you eat well? Was the money we sent enough? Are you really okay? Are you really not hurt?”
Among the bullets of questions, Cecilia only answered with yeses and noes. Both of her parents sighed of relief until one more question they asked. “Did you… Pass the exam?”
Cecilia answered with a big smile on her face. “Yes!”
The married couple’s faces brightened up even more and they both shouted, “congratulations!”
“Was it hard? Was it easy? Was it dangerous? W

BLAIR Chapter 24: Noble Meeting
Matthew and the team were now temporarily staying at the mansion belonging to the Noble House of Crystal. Though they wanted to refuse the offer, they finally agreed when they were being pressed by the Noble couple. However, their timing of stay was not so good.In a meeting room within the mansion of the Southern Region Noble, the House of Stone, a meeting was held between the Nobles of all regions with the exception of the Capital of course. Out of all the Nobles that were invited, only three came to the meeting so far, excluding the owner of the mansion. Gustav was one of the three that were waiting.The meeting room only had a large round table with ten seats around it. There was nothing else other than the table and chairs aside from the giant portrait of Lord Stone which was placed behind an especially fancier chair than the others. Gustav was sitting on the third chair to the left of the fancy chair. While the other two currently pres
BLAIR Chapter 25: Shopping Trip
The Hunters who took up the offer from the Lord of the House of Crystal, Yuki and Rose were walking on the streets of the bustling city including the daughter of Lord Crystal, Cecilia Crystal. The three of them only wore casual clothing fitting for the currently hot temperature.As for the reason why there were only three of them…"Matt already went out to take a stroll.""What? He went by himself?" Cecilia was very surprised."Well it's not like he's a kid, at least not physically." Rose glanced to the side.Cecilia sighed. "Hah… There goes the original plan.""I mean, he never did agree to go out with us in the first place," said Yuki."I just thought that maybe I could repay all of you personally with this shopping trip, but if he's not gonna accept it…" Cecilia fidgeted as she floated in her imagination in worry.
BLAIR Chapter 26: Morning Stroll
Meanwhile the girls were having fun on their shopping trip, Matthew had a little fun of his own.Matthew went out early that morning to have a stroll around the city. He only wore normal casual clothes with blue black being the main colour.The morning street was not yet crowded with people. In fact, the stalls were just about to open. The sun was only slightly above the hills.The birds perched on the buildings chirped harmonically. Clatters of cooking utensils from the kitchens of people making breakfast. Random "good morning" from the people Matthew came across."This is peaceful." Matthew took a deep breath of fresh morning air. "Mmm~ people said that morning is when the air is freshest."Matthew kept walking down the reddish granite road. He was not really thinking of anything. Just enjoying the view.He then stopped and sat on a bench by the street. He
BLAIR Chapter 27: A Flash Of The Past
In the alley where a girl took refuge to catch her breath, she encountered a group of boys that suddenly approached her.These boys were not someone she was not familiar with, she stood guard. “What do you want Hind?”“You just punched me in front of the whole school, you know what I want!” Hind barked.“You deserved it and I can give you another one!” The girl put up a fist.“Think so? Boys, hold her.”Without warning, the girl was immediately grabbed by her hands by the two other boys. She struggled to get out.“Let me go!”“No no, not until I’m satisfied.” Hind walked closer while cracking his knuckles.“Let me go! Coward!” The girl struggled with all her might however against two boys holding her, she could not pull herself o
BLAIR Chapter 28
Matthew just had a long and quite fascinating day today. Many more questions piled up in his head where he had not yet solved many others.“What was that dream? Vision? Memory? Who was that girl? Familiar? A coincidence?” All of it seemed to be related but how, and why? What did have to do with Matthew?“Remember who you are…” Remember what? What did he have to remember? How can he remember? Who or what was that shadow? So many questions jumbled up in Matthew’s mind that it confuses him. His head was still slightly aching as he walked back to the mansion.“Maybe I should tell the others?” Matthew asked himself which he also denied himself. “No, this is just about me. No need to tell anyone else. But still, thinking about it makes me exhausted.” Matthew stretched his arms up high as he yawned.After a few more minutes of walking, Matthew fin

Night. After dinner.Matthew and Yuki were together on one of the balconies on the second floor. Rose immediately left to her room after she was done, Cecilia was quieter than usual, even her appetite was off; Gustav had already left in the evening and Emilia was not back yet since afternoon.That leaves Matthew and Yuki to have a sudden meeting here. Gustav and Emilia aside, Rose and Cecilia were acting a bit weird."So what's the plan here?" Yuki asked Matthew as she bent over the railing."I already have an idea for why Rose is like that. She probably has been waiting for me all this while." Matthew had his arms crossed as he spoke."You know her that we
BLAIR Chapter 30: Proposal And Marriage
Matthew had set off to meet Rose. Yuki had made a deal with him to find out why Cecilia was acting strange. It was also out of her own curiosity.She arrived in front of Cecilia's room. Yuki knocked but there was no answer. She knocked again, still none. Yuki tried the doorknob next. It clicked open.‘Not locked?’Yuki gently opened the door while peeking inside. “Cecilia? Are you in here?” There was no answer as well. Yuki proceeded to enter the room.The room was dark. No one was there. However Yuki did take the time to admire the room. “Phew~ her room is big. And fancy. Where is she?”Yuki walked around the gloomy room. There were no signs of Cecilia anywhere in the room. Yuki cupped her chin, thinking where Cecilia could be. She stopped by the window, perhaps hoping to find her in the yard.It was too dark for Yuki to s
BLAIR Chapter 31: Forgotten Memory
A little girl walked down the street. Alone. She was just on her way back home from playing with her friends. Her home was not far, but in this bustling city, it was still pretty hard to find a way back. She could always manage to find a way back home by remembering the landmarks.She just had to look for Cassie's Bakery, then head left, then look for the grocery store, then her house should be within view. She could make it home if she can find those two buildings, but this time she can't.The bakery had been moved to another location, so the girl could not find the way back. She got lost. She became sad and she cried.After a few minutes of crying, a group of people came to her. The group consists of two men and a woman.The men wore luxurious suits of black. The woman wore what seemed to be business attire.The woman kneeled down in front of the girl, then tried to comfort her

BLAIR Chapter 318: The Family pt.2
At the edge of the pit, it was them. A total of nine of the Scarlett family members.From the right, a woman with long red hair and black and white dress was casting a healing spell on Bilgrae. A male elf in full black armour with a star shaped bang of three red points and two white points and his black hair was split in the middle. A demon with dark violet hair and a pair of horns at the side of her head and wore a jet black skin tight suit which exposed certain parts, Crymillia. In the middle, it was a man with short bright red hair wearing a black and gold robe. Then, a man with black hair in a red and black suit. Another demon with about the same features as Crymillia except that his hair was short and he wore a black cloak over his suit. Then there was a man with spiky red hair in a red robe with a high collar, Crone, the one that Matthew and his friends fought at the Great Sandcastle. Finally, there was the black feathered avian human, Skystorm.Seeing Skystorm in good health, M
BLAIR Chapter 317: The Family pt.1
Confronting Bilgrae now was what he expected to see from a Dragon Emperor.Matthew was now at maximum output of his astra and all of it was condensed in his body. Bright red scales covered his entire body and he grew slightly in size. His muscles became more toned and also increased in size. A pair of horns of a darker tone of red grew out of his forehead that curved to the back of his head. Both of his eyes were glowing golden as his hair was.“Let’s finish this!” Matthew did not delay any further. He couldn’t maintain this form for long so he must finish the fight quickly.Matthew dashed toward Bilgrae who was ready for Matthew. Their fists clashed again and this time, not only was Bilgrae pushed back, he felt pain in his knuckles. Matthew was much stronger than before and far faster too. Utilising his speed, Matthew went for another punch to Bilgrae’s gut.“Oof!” Bilgrae got the air knocked out of him with the first hit.Matthew followed up with a barrage of punches. Bilgrae truly
BLAIR Chapter 316: Test of Strength
After being blown away by Skystorm’s wind, Matthew regained his footing and was met with the big lizardman, Bilgrae Scarlett. Bilgrae had a smirk on his face. Matthew stood up and faced Bilgrae, but his eyes were not on him. Matthew’s eyes fell on Falynx in the far distance.“Are you still concerned about that monster?” Bilgrae asked with his deep voice.Matthew looked at Bilgrae now. “It’s hard to know which one is the monster here.”“Heh, you’re right. All of us are monsters deep inside. It just takes one misstep to turn a person into one. You’ve been there too.”“No I haven’t.”“Maybe not to you. But the whole world saw you as one. Now that monster suddenly turned into an emperor and they suddenly glorified you, while some still hate you of course.”“Hmph.” Matthew huffed.“You’re angry with me, I understand. I purposely did not kill that beast. Out of compassion.”“Don’t lie. You Scarletts don’t know what that means.”Bilgrae wasn’t smiling anymore. “You don’t know how merciful fa
BLAIR Chapter 315: Vampiric Origin
Akame and Skystorm were separated from Matthew and Bilgrae. Akame stood up after being blown away by the powerful gust of wind created by Skystorm. Their eyes met. Both of their irises were bright red and gazed deeply.“I will be your foe, Red Cardinal.” Skystorm said.“What relic will you take? What will you use it for?” Akame asked.“Straight to the questions huh… That’s not any of your business. Why would you care what we take anyway if you’ll die?”“To evaluate whether it’s worth fighting for or not.”“Hmm, a smart choice. If you don't want to fight, then I shant confront you. Sadly, it seems that Lord Dragunov disagrees with you. If he is in the way, then we must remove him. I don’t think that leaves you an option now.”Backing out from this would mean that Matthew will be fighting two people. If they weren’t among the Scarlett Army’s strongest, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with alone. Both of their foes were really strong and Akame had no expectation of defeating
BLAIR Chapter 314: The Sun God's Temple
After their encounter with Falynx, they reached an agreement to conduct an investigation as they intended. Falynx had flown back to the surface on its own. Matthew and Akame headed to the temple and arrived at the front door.For some reason, even though they were underground, it was as clear as day down here. It was not dark and not too bright either, like a cloudy day.There were stairs that led to the door and the walls in the area were already partially destroyed. Some of the stairs were also gone. The giant door was made of stone and seemed to be intact with little cracks around the hinges.Matthew pushed one of the doors open. It was surprisingly heavy so Matthew had to lean into it to move it. Akame went inside first and inspected the place. There was a stage and a podium carved out of stone at the end of the great hall. A mural was carved out of the wall behind the stage depicting a supposed god holding the sun in his hands.Matthew left the door open and joined Akame to look
BLAIR Chapter 313: The Giant Winged Snake
In the middle of the desert, there were two figures running across the sands. Clouds of sand were left behind in their quick steps. The cloak provided by the minister was really working. No sand was sticking onto them.“We’re getting close.” Matthew informed Akame.Almost two hours have passed since they left the city. Many monsters came their way but they were easily dealt with. It caused a little delay but not enough to affect their momentum. Falynx’s presence was still about 10 kilometres away.“Be ready for battle.” Akame said.“Remember though, don’t kill it.” Matthew reminded her.A few minutes later, a gigantic figure could be seen flying in the sky. The creature had the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile and six pairs of batwings. Its yellow eyes with black vertical slits looked down at the incoming people below.Falynx bowed its head and began descending. Matthew and Akame saw this as an engagement in battle. Matthew called out the Dragoknight to his arms and increased
BLAIR Chapter 312: Mission Briefing
The sun was already high up in the sky in the Capital City of Kubalt. The weather was hot and dry as usual in San Coro. The street around this particular area was not that busy since it was right in front of the Palace of Al-Jauhara. One would occasionally see knights patrolling the area. Akame was waiting under the intense heat of the sun. She had covered herself in a large black cloth to protect herself from the heat. The guards out here only wore light armour compared to the ones inside, probably because their armour would be too hot to wear outside. Not too long after, she finally saw the one she was waiting for. Matthew was jogging toward her. He wore his long sleeved red hooded jacket and an orange shirt under it and a pair of black pants. He also had his usual travelling backpack with him. “Phew, sorry, did you wait long?” “Not too long. Did you not use a teleportation scroll?” Akame asked. “I did, but the closest one was to Yanbue City. Neither Platinum nor Rose were famil
BLAIR Chapter 311: No Rest
“What brings you here, Akame?” Matthew asked.Just a few moments ago, Akame had arrived in front of Platinum’s cave. Someone like who was a Coloured Hunter, passing through the Blackwood Forest and up the cold mountain was not a problem. Or not.Akame was hugging herself to keep warm but it was not helping at all. “Achoo! C-can we talk somewhere warmer?”“Oh, come on in.” Matthew invited her inside.Akame went in and they both made their way to the living room. Matthew didn't think that it was alright to bring her to the others directly. The living room had a fire to keep them warm, so here was enough.“Ah~” Akame warmed herself up by the fire and put her hands out.“So, what are you doing here without equipment to survive on a mountain? Certainly you didn’t come to interview us?” Matthew asked.“Queen Cleopatra sent me. We will investigate the ruin she mentioned together.” Akame said with the same emotionless voice as usual.“Cleopatra? Well, I was gonna head there in a few days anyw
BLAIR Chapter 310: Future Family
Matthew and Rose arrived at the foot of the mountain just by the Blackwood Forest where they dropped off of the carriage while Guinevere headed back to her palace. It was already very late in the afternoon when they got to the forest. Matthew carried Rose's luggage in hands while he also wore his backpack."I can carry my own stuff." Rose said."No, I will carry them for you. Anyway, are you sure you'll be fine?""My magic resistance is quite high. I also know how to disperse mana if it does accumulate inside me. How long exactly is it going to take to get up there again?" Rose looked up at the ledge near the mountain peak where Platinum's abode was."Well, usually only a few hours if you're moving at my usual speed. If we're walking though, a few days at least." Matthew said."But we're not walking, right?" Rose asked."Nope." As Matthew replied, a shadow flew past over them.A jade green dragon circled them as she descended to the ground nearby. Upon landing, the dragon folded its w
