Ch-20 Departure.

' Huh? Where am I?' Erin could be seen standing in an open field filled with grey mist.

Before he could finish his thought, the grey mist began to gather in front of him. After gathering nearly half of the total mist in the space in one area, it began to take on the shape of a dragon.

The dragon was nearly a kilometre long, with white scales covering its entire body, laying on the field with its eyes closed.

Erin was taken aback by the sight of the sleeping dragon; he had no idea what was going on, why he was here, or why a dragon had suddenly appeared in front of him. He had many questions, but no one to answer them.

While he was deep in thought, he felt his entire body shiver. He came to a halt and looked in the direction of the sleeping dragon, but instead of laying down, it was standing proudly, its golden eyes fixed on him.

"ROOAAAARRR! "

Erin eyes opened his eyes while his back was drenched in sweats,

'That dream, again, it's been almost a week since he started having these kinds of dreams. The dreams were vivid at first, but as the days passed, he began to see a glimpse of a dragon, and yesterday's dream was all too real. He still got goosebumps all over his body as he thought about the image of the dragon.

"Eri, did you have the same dream?" Aurora, who was lying on his chest, sat up when he moved.

She was concerned as she looked at his sweaty forehead.

He nodded his head.

" Mother, do you know why this is happening?" Aurora asked Roberta.

"I don't know either." She wished she knew, but it was the first time for her as well.

"Baby, why don't we wait a few more days before you join the academy?" Senthia didn't want him to leave now that he was having these strange dreams.

"Don't worry, Mom; it could just be a side effect of the bloodline change."

"But, baby, what if something happened during your journey or while you were at the academy?" She didn't want to put her sweetheart in danger.

"Don't worry, Mom, it's not that serious."

"But-"

" Senthia, let him go. It's best if he attends the academy." Roberta cut her off.

"Mother, please explain."

"That old hag might be able to help him." She knew her friend was well versed in different kinds of knowledge, which most people thought was impossible.

"Yes, Aunt Merlin might have an answer." Aurora agreed with her mother as well.

"What if something happened in the middle of the journey?"

"Don't be concerned, sis; we have so many talented maids in the castle, we can simply send one of them." She had specifically trained some of the castle maids for his future needs.

'Oh, I thought they were dolls.' Since he was a child, none of the maids had ever spoken to him, and whenever he tried to strike up a conversation, they would flee with an excuse.

"All right, then, it's decided that he'll leave for the academy today." Aurora concluded.

Following that conversation, the family of four went into the bathroom, where he thoroughly 'washed' them and then the three of them helped him wash. His grandmother washed his back, his aunt washed his front, and his mother washed his pelvis the entire time.

After the long bath, they ate the breakfast, then the time for the departure came.

Senthia, Aurora and Roberta were standing at the gate looking at the carriage as it moves away from them.

"Will he really be okay, what if he gets hurt in class?" Senthia worriedly asked.

" Don't worry, he should be able to handle most of the students at his age." Roberta said with a wide smile on his face,

"But I can't help but worry about him," She couldn't help but be concerned about him.

"I don't know if we should worry about him or the academy should." said Aurora suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Senthia asked coldly.

"Sis, wait, it's just that the world won't be able to digest a rank 1 cultivator beating a rank 3." It was almost unbelievable; after all, if you can defeat someone of a higher rank, then the world will treat you as a goddamn genius. But what if you are able to beat opponents with a difference of more than 2 ranks, then your existence can only be described as the Monstrous.

"..."

Senthia had nothing to say after all, and she knew her baby's talent was almost unrivaled.

"I'm missing him already." Aurora hadn't spent much time with him except for sleeping, after all she was the duchess and ruler of Draco City.

"Sigh, let's hope his vacations begin soon." Senthia wasn't much better than her sister, but nothing could be done.

Even though Roberta didn't say anything, she was already missing him.

While the trio stood there little absent minded, the carriage had already disappeared from their view.

Inside the carriage, Erin sighed lightly.

'Mom outdid herself this time,' Erin thought as he looked at the ring.

The ring was a storage device developed by the witches, having almost 100 metres of capacity. There were at least 500 outfits and hundreds of different potions in it.

"So, what's your name?" Erin raised his gaze to the woman sitting across from him. She had brunette hair, brown eyes, a pale skin tone, and was dressed in maid clothing barely covering her giant breasts. They were only a little shorter than his mothers.

"Master, I'm Erika." said the maid in a polite tone.

"Oh?" He didn't expect her to reply.

"Can you tell me why the other maid never spoke to me?" He was curious.

"Master, Madam Senthia had strictly forbidden the castle's females from speaking to you."

"Hmm." What can he say, he didn't feel much surprise; after all, he knew only his mother would do something like that.

"So, why are you talking now?"

"Well, madam can't be here."

"..."

"All right, so how long until we get to Athens?"

Pandora's kingdom was divided into eight cities: Draco, Lustenberg, Invid, Athens, Tyra, Gredig, Khaos, and the capital, Paragon. Except for the capital, which was the property of the King, all cities were overseen by the duke/duchess.

"Master, it'll take us nearly a day."

"Please let me know when we arrive." He closed his eyes and began cultivating.

" ...er, Master." He opened his eyes when he heard Erika's voice, signaling the end of his cultivation.

"Master, we're on the outskirts of Athens and will be staying in an Inn for the night, then tomorrow, we can go for the enrollment. "

"Alright."

Erin got out of the carriage and looked up at the five-story inn. His room was located on the top floor, right next to Erika's. He ate dinner first in the underground restaurant, then went to his room on the top floor. It was almost midnight when he walked into the room.

He was sitting on the chair near the window, looking at the moon shining in the sky while enjoying the peacefulness of the city.

[System Integration Beginning.] He suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his ears.

To be Continued…

When Senthia entered inside the room, she saw two golden tickets on the bed.

She picked both of it up, " 'Samuel_Greyson' and 'Keenan_Davis' good." Then she put them on the side and laid on the bed with her back facing the ceiling while her head covered in a pillow.

'Baby, Mama miss you.'
