Eden looked around with a sigh. He did not expect to see 'that' there especially since it should have been destroyed already.

Did the Gods reforge that sword then? That sword which represented their combined power? That sword that llyfr once used.

Against that weapon, it was impossible to win...unless.

“A replica then...?” he wondered.

“A what replica?” asked Alexandra who he didn't realise was behind him. She toyed with his hair for a bit before asking, “What's eating you this time?”

“Long story” he replied.

Alexandra pouted and said, “Everything is a long story to you. It takes forever for you to explain what is happening that you are not pleased.”

“Because it takes that long to explain it. Besides I'm not as simple as you, which is why having you around makes me happy.”

With those words, Alexandra smiled and with a thump on her chest, she said, “Those words just earned you some good food made my me!”

Eden laughed and said, “All food that you made are good.”

“Even the pig feet?” she wondered.

“....Maybe” He was not going to answer that because it was likely that it will be served to him later on if he did.

Soon enough Viv came to them waiting for them to finish their moment. The moment Eden was about to teleport them away, Weed walked up to him and looked him in the eyes.

“What is it? If it is about the Warrior King, we will help you deal with him but it's going to take time. Even I don't know where the hell he ran off to” said Eden addressing that issue.

However it seemed like that was not the topic on his mind as Weed asked, “Who or what is this 'llyfr'?”

“....”

Eden took a moment to summarise his feelings about that.

And in the end he answered, “An old friend. Anything else?”

Weed gave an evil smile to that and asked immediately, “Just the costs of-”

“Gotta go!”

Eden hurried more than ever to teleport out of there without thinking that he accidentally set the course to a place that he had no step foot in for 3 years...

xXx

Appearing with a flash of blue light; Eden, Alexandra and Viv appeared in the middle of the room which surprised the group at the very least. It was the first time they saw those three together.

“Eh?” Eden looked around confused on something but Sain did not know what.

“What's going on?” asked Miriel to Alena but there was no response from her. All there was was, too a shocked expression on her face.

Eden took a look at them with a serious and cold look and pointed at Alena and Sain and said, “You two come with me, the rest of you stay” in a commanding voice.

“....”

However while Sain was about to do so, Alena recovered from seeing them so suddenly and placed her hands on her hips and said, “Well nice to see you again too dad” with a pouting face.

Seeing this, Eden's serious and cold face softened as Alexandra ran and hugged Alena's child in her arms. Everyone looked to see what was going on there.

“Ahh!” the child let out a shocked voice as Alexandra proceeded to rub her face to his, saying, “To think my cute little grand kid would grow up so fast~!”

However she suddenly stopped with that child trying to escape from Alexandra's arms and muttered, “Those words really make me sound old....”

“You are old” confirmed Viv though he added, “We have been living in this world for more than a hundred years and are part of the 'Beginning Generation' of players as well.”

“He has a point” said Eden from the side as well, “Both of us are grandparents as well since a few years ago as well you know. You think you could go retire and start something like knitting?”

Alexandra sent a glare at Eden as she placed the child back to the ground where he immediately ran to hug Alena who picked him up.

Viv turned to the group noticing them and said in a polite manner and said, “It's been a while.”

Serena nodded and said, “It has been” with a smile. Serena liked Viv more than the other two since he was more similar to her in several ways.

“Ah” Alexandra also realised the existence of the group in the room and said, “Hey~! It's been a while~” in a casual wave as well.

“We saw you yesterday in class” said Lyndis with a laugh.

“Still been a while” Alexandra pointed out.

Seeing there was literally nothing going on, Sain asked, “Why are you three here anyway?”

“Hmm? Did you hear that we reached level 200 a bit back?” asked Lyndis at the same time.

“Level 200?” Alexandra was a bit surprise and said, “That means you can take your 2nd Class Advancement then.”

“Damn that means more work to be done...” muttered Eden with a sigh though Alena reputed him saying, “You mean more work to push onto me?”

“....”

“Anyway this is a good thing since there is going to be a lot more work going on around here. You six after finishing your class advancement will be promoted to regular members of the guild. Damn why the hell did I become a chairman of a school and enrol you lot in it?” Eden said with a sigh.

Alexandra comforted Eden with the words, “Because it felt like the right thing to do at the time. Especially when the circumstances were so.”

“Enough of that” said Alena, “I want to know more on ho-”

Bang!

The door opened and suddenly two people entered while speaking at the same time. Everyone looked to see who would dare do this at this moment.

“Sis! I'm back!” said the woman with silver hair with a slight blue colour mixed to it as well. Alena had a happy look on her face seeing this person.

She had a petite like face but her figure was similar to Eden's. She was wearing tight leather gear so you could see the curves on her body.

“It's been a while Sis” said Alena with a grin, the woman pinched her child's nose a bit as well before hugging Alena.

“Alena is little Ares growing up fine? I hope he remembers his dad's face!” said the man that was a head taller than the woman.

He had a handsome look with his brown hair cruel cut but had several scars on his face which left him with a veteran look. His was wearing the standard set of guard armour with some differences.

Alena laughed hearing those words as she with Risene still hugging her, jumped into his arms with her child named Ares in her arms as well.

It was hugception over there.

Soon enough the hugs were over as the two new people looked around in the room which was dead silent right now.

Both of them paused in place seeing so many people in the room.

Especially Eden and the woman in question.

“Risene...” Eden muttered with some strange pain in him seeing that person in front of him.

Risene stunned seeing Eden for the first time in years also muttered, “Mum....”
