Chapter 166 –It All Begins Now

Early morning at the Raizel Mansion.

A streak of bright sunlight seeped through the window of a small hut, rousing wake the still sleeping figure of a young man.

“Ugh… my neck… ”

Calron groaned, stretching his neck and slowly sitting up on his bed. His mouth felt dry and slightly sore from last night. The soreness was due to Rain forcing alcohol down his throat while Calron pitifully resisted.

For Calron, it was one of the most memorable nights of his life as it was the first time that he felt like a teenager. After his parents died, he never had time to enjoy his life as a kid and it was one battle after another or running away from enemies. It drained his happiness, and he only felt alive when he was with Avi or Roran.

I could get used to this.

He smiled while standing up and taking a quick stretch.

Glancing at the finished tiles on the table next to him, Calron guessed that Roran had not arrived yet to pick the God Tiles up.

“I promised that I would spar with Asra tonight, so I have enough time to visit the shop and see how everyone is doing.”

Calron took a sip of water and washed his face with the remainder.

“Big brother!”

A voice exclaimed from the outside, causing Calron to turn around and see the big body of Roran cheerfully walk into the hut.

“Yo!”

Calron hugged his brother and then dried off his face with a nearby towel.

“I was just about to grab something to eat, want to tag along?”

He asked Roran after handing him the tiles from the table.

“Oh… I completely forgot about that this morning! I was planning on freeloading food from the Raizel clan, but then I smelled the breakfast being prepared at the inn, so I couldn’t contain myself and stuffed all the food in my mouth… ”

Roran wistfully complained, regretting his impulses. He really wanted to try all the delicious food prepared by the famous Raizel clan, but he had no space left in his stomach.

“Hahaha, I’ll bring you back for lunch then.”

Calron burst out in laughter and walked outside the hut.

“I’ll come to the shop in an hour, so wait for me there.”

He conveyed to Roran and began to head towards the clan’s kitchen.

“Ellie will be excited to see you again, big brother. She said that she wanted to ask you for something.”

Roran yelled back and departed from the area.

“I hope it’s not about the flowers on the board sign again… ”

Calron muttered to himself while walking.

……………………………

“Morning, Calron!”

An energetic voice greeted Calron while hen was finishing up with his food.

“Harol!”

Calron swallowed the last remaining morsel of meat and chugged the milk.

Harol was one of the teenagers that Calron had met last night, and he was even bulkier than Roran. Contrary to his outwards appearance, Harol had a bubbly personality and loved to crack jokes. Often at the expense of Rain.

“You are up early, how’s the hangover?”

Harol put his tray down in front of Calron and sat down.

The kitchen was close to empty, so the others were probably still sleeping off their hangovers. The elders had their own private residences, so they did not have to come to the kitchen for meals.

“Feeling a bit sore, but other than that, I’m all good. How’s your back by the way?”

Calron grinned, recalling last night’s memory where Harol vomited all over Linda, infuriating the young girl and causing her to repeatedly kick the same location on Harol’s poor bum.

“That woman has a heart colder than northern ice giants… ”

Horal whined, as he gingerly rubbed his buttocks.

“Want to see?” The bulky boy began to stand up.

“I will electrocute you in the same spot where Linda kicked you if you dare to pull your pants down.”

Calron glared at the teen, with a spark of lightning hovering over his finger.

“On a second thought, I think I should keep my pants on.”
