《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 25: new housemates.
Advertisement
Kael woke up the next morning, seeing Scarlet Vow lying in bed beside him. She was clinging to his hand,well this was something Kael had to accept. What would be worse if he saw some of his other wives and children? Would it be a harem? Would it be a mass ball of confusing relationships? Is he going to be called a cheater? Is he going to be laughed at by the Gods in a new episode of their reality TV show called 'Avatars In Awkward Places?'
The Gods do have their own reality TV show called Avatars in Awkward Places. Kael had starred in it for 10 seasons, before they decided that Kael was far too brutal to be on that show. So they put Kael in the Avatars of Power show instead.Each season lasts an entire life of a human being. Though now, the deities in entertainment are following through with things being done from earth.
Kael stepped out of his room to see the pixie dragon just nuzzling its head to Ren then trilling at him in a happy tone. Jenny's pixie dragon on the other hand was helping her clean up the dishes. Kael's mother? She was busy gardening where the fenrirs were helping her with it. They were digging the ground, even using their paws to form the plot and using magic to help fertilize the land. His father? Hati and Skoll were helping Lloyd wash the car. The two fenrirs were just opening their mouths as they unleashed water on the car. It was not saliva but rather moisture from the air being condensed into liquid form.
Seems that despite the fuss of the other day, things are starting to look brighter for the family. Though Kael was thinking about where to go from here. He needed to figure out what else that he could do, since he did graduate by disaster. His grades were nothing too impressive, but Kael needed to think about where to go from here. His phone vibrated in his pocket, where he opened it to see a text from Patriarch Flare.
'I heard you graduated from college. Although by disaster. Someone asked for you to join a very interesting place.. Come meet me later today.' That sounds like a fun idea, Kael went on to tell his dad about the meeting. Using one of his cards to bring him to the location of Patriarch Flare's tower.
"Oh." Patriarch Flare was caught off guard by Kael's pressence along with his guest.
"Teleportation magic? That's... Impressive." The guest spoke up, it was an elderly lady who wore a black uniform with a sword tucked to her side.

"Master Kael. This is Principal Ardjent Erisa of the Adept Training Academy. It is one where thsoe who have been recognized as Adepts are brought there to be trained. However..." Kael suspected there was something to it.
"We seem to have trouble with matters related to swords. In our academy the Chief Instructor uses a blade known as Midnight Howl. We are having trouble with the sword class because no one is able to draw Midnight Howl." The woman said as she placed her fingers to her temple. Massaging herself as she tried to look for a solution.
"Midnight Howl. It's a tachi made by 15 masters of East, West, North and South of Japan.That blade is perfection and it a sword that had been wielded by many figures in the past. Their karma follows the blade and it will refuse to be used by someone who does not qualify it. It's a unique blade in the sense that it can force other Living Weapons or Weapon Spirits to submission. The other problem with it is that to even unsheathe it. There's a specific technique and draw stance. God, now that's a problem child." Kael said as he scratched his head.
"You seem well versed with it."Ardjent spoke, she was intrigued by the way Kael described the blade. Sounded as if Kael knew this blade like he made it.
"Ask your friend by your hip. I think he would know best. Stop pretending to be a quiet weapon,Damocles." They heard a laugh, then seeing a figure wearing black centurion armor appeared before them. Wielding a gladius that had been stained in blood.
"You were able to tell that I am a Living Weapon? That is far too perceptive for someone your age." Damocles spoke as he pointed it to Kael's face. Kael rested his cheek to his right arm, he was not bothered by Damocles's idle threat.
"You won't even be able to lay an inch to my neck." Kael said as Damocles made the move, thrusting the blade to Kael's throat. Only to see his blade disintegrate before his eyes. Damocles threw a fist at Kael, watching how Kael stopped Damocles just by how their eyes met.
"Do you understand the difference between us, child?" Kael whispered again which caused Damocles to fall to his knees. Damocles could not even raise his head to look at Kael, he was reduced to all fours and planted his own face to the ground.
"Is your master telling me all there is or is there anything else that I should be aware of?" Kael asked.

"There is another matter. Aside from Instructor, the students are having trouble to tame their weapons." Kael was even more annoyed at that response.
"Untamed Living Weapons could actually kill people. There's a reason why they are picky. This sounds like a bunch of idiots forced these weapons on the Adepts despite not being qualified to wield them. I take it the previous instructors used Gray Gems to force the weapons to appear?" Damocles nodded.
"Then are there any of the instructors still present?" Damocles nodded again where Kael let out the deepest sigh he had. Turning to Ardjent.
"I'll take the job at the academy. Full autonomy on swordsmanship classes. If I have to beat the instructors that are there to prove my worth so be it. Letting unprepared Adepts run with Living Weapons or Weapon Spirits is the same as giving cavemen nuclear bombs. On your feet, child. Make sure to not make the same mistake with me again.." Kael was stern to the blade as Damocles returned back to Ardjent's side.
Ardjent turned to Patriarch Flare.
"When you say he is strong. I understand. Damocles is a blade with a fierce temperament and he just... Made Damocles submit to him. Here's the contract." Ardjent passed the documents as the staple that held it was vaporized away. Then the pages float in front of Kael. One glance over each page and he understood the entire contract and what it meant. His signature burned itself onto the paper, where Kael clenched his nails to his palm, as few drops of blood filled the signature with colour.
"I'll head there tomorrow. Oh and another thing. It seems you've got students that are contracted to some interesting Beasts and Summons. I'll handle them too." Kael said as he got up, turning to Patriarch Flare.
"Thanks for the work Patriarch. At least I am going to be doing something I don't need to make a billion introductions with." Kael said as he used a card to teleport back home.
When he did, it surprised his family that were seated by the dining table. Having their evening tea, where Ren stuffed his face with cake.
"Whoa! You can teleport!?" Ren asked
"That is to be expected. He is our master, so where did you go?" Ice Reaper asked as he wiped the mess off Ren's face. Kael could not help realize how protective, Ice Reaper is to his younger brother. The way that Ice Reaper took down the soldiers on that human trafficking boat after realizing Ren had been a victim in Kael's previous life. That rage was something Kael had not seen since his time when he began as the Avatar of Destruction.
"Got work. Turns out there's a school for Adepts... Now problem is... They used Grey Gems to force the Living Weapon and Weapon Spirits to wake up and submit. I don't have to spell it out do you?" Kael asked where Ice Reaper nodded.
"Of course not. Basically to put it in simple words, think of cavemen carrying nuclear bombs in their hands instead of sticks. That is trouble waiting to happen, I take it that you wish to rectify the problem yourself, Master?" Kael nodded to Ice Reaper's words. It had to be Kael, anyone else would have made an even bigger mess.
"Ah, humans. Why must they be so careless?" Kael heard Baihua speak up as she pulled apple pies from the oven, with her elder brothers doting over her to make sure she would not injure herself at all.
"Well, congratulations dear!" Miriam said with joy as the fenrirs leaped on Kael to celebrate his success.
"Kael, do you want to take us with you?" Kael heard the voice of Hati staring at him from above.
"You've got a bad temperament with children. So I wouldn't take you. Veriskua and Skoll may be better. You're a bit on the rougher side Hati." Hati nodded.
"Then I will stay by your father's side. Along with the others. Which sword will you bring to the Academy?" Hati asked, which Kael had not thought much about it.
"I can't bring all of you because you will attack those swords because of their lack of control. Symphony, it'll be you and Radiant Sonata. Scarlet, stay here. Okay?" Scarlet Vow nodded to Kael, but he could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Scarlet. I won't be staying at the academy. I'll be using teleportation to come back here." Kael said which made Scarlet Vow smile and hug him.
"Well to be technical she is supposed to be one of his wives if she didn't die." Black Symphony said to them, Kael could see the visible confusion on his family's face.
"Baihua, Kurohana, Banshee, Ga-Eul just tell them the story. I'll be spending the night there to make my assessment. See what else that needs to be dealt with. Veriskua and Skoll. I'll summon you there." Kael said as he vanished with Black Symphony and Radiant Sonata in hand.
