Chapter 521 Home Sweet Home
Next stop, Cygypt. With the destination in mind, it wasn't hard to find mysterious activities around the place. Like so, Dorian, Old Ghu and a select group of students, are now prepared to leave for Cygypt. For this group, Dorian had arranged for 300 students to come. That's right, 300. They were to prepare for departure in 4 days. It was amazing how Old Ghu could deal with the necessary travel documents for all of them in a flash. Well, to be fair it was akin to how military assistance is sent over to places of need in a rush to countries people don't even have documents to. 4 days…
That was enough time for them to handle whatever private matters they wanted to. For these 4 days, they were allowed to leave the Academy and head back to the outside world to see their families, friends, or loved ones. Wouldn't you know it, Ghu Sota was also among them. When he went back home, his mother was also waiting for him. She has been quite lonely these days, seeing as her husband, son, father-in-law and even mother-in-law were often away in the mysterious academy she didn't know where located. It was amazing back then, she too had been accepted into the academy as a caregiver, while her husband was accepted as a disciple. But she had decided to stay back instead, to straighten things up before joining her family in the next semester. She honestly wanted to know what the mysterious academy had to offer. "Mom!" Ghu Sota hugged his mother warmly. Soon, she pulled herself away from him, twirling him excitedly. "Come, let me see how much you have grown... Wow! My son is looking even more handsome than before… and have you grown taller since last I saw you?"
"_" "And why do you also look so skinny? My poor boy… aren't they feeding you in there? Just look at how your hunger bones are showing below your neck?"
"_"
Ghu Sota was dumbfounded, feeling that his mother must have a filter in her eyes for her to think he was skinny. His body was visibly stronger than before, and his muscles, although not exaggerated, were slightly pumped up as if he was a slim but built male protagonist of an anime show. His abs were extremely pronounced, his back straight, and his outer complexion so good and glowy that you would think he was fresher than a newborn baby's buttocks. Mirror, mirror on the wall? Who is the most handsome of them all? Sota felt the answer would be him. That was how he felt whenever he looked at his urgent appearance. What's more, as an exorcist in his current strength level he found he could go on for several months without water or food and he would be fine. So where does he look like he had been starved to death?
Tsk.
Sure enough, mothers always have different eyes when looking at their children whom they haven't seen in a while. .
Ghu Sota felt that his mother might be lonely because she couldn't talk to them when they entered the academy grounds. Understand that even before he knew monsters existed, his life as well as that of his father and grandparents were also busy, seeing as they belonged to the prestigious Ghu clan. His father would travel across the country and even go abroad for days and even weeks for vital business matters. His grandparents also did the same, and his mother was also a very busy woman. Although everyone was busy with their careers, they always spoke on the phone and had several video calls to stay close to each other no matter where they were. But since going to the academy, no phone calls were allowed. So you can imagine how lonely she has been not talking to them as often as she used to. The good thing was that she still saw them as often as she usually did if not more often than before. Understand that after they graduated from being handymen, those who were the heads of the clan and their businesses were allowed to go out 2 to even 3 times a week to finalize several matters in the outside world. As people standing at the top, they had capable subordinates to ensure things ran smoothly. So they came to visit her more frequently than before, compared to the times when Ghu Dwo would go abroad for 2 months or even go to other parts of the country for weeks. At least now, he would come home at least once a week before heading back to the academy to bury himself in deep cultivation. She only felt lonely because she didn't hear from them, not knowing how their days went or whether they were truly fine. The only time she hears from them is when they arrive home. That alone is enough to worry any wife, mother, or inlaw. . n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Quickly, get lunch ready. Can't you see how thin my little boy is?" The maids and servants inwardly agreed that the mistress was blind after seeing how much healthier and good-looking Ghu Sota had become. Where does it look like he was thinner? Very quickly, the kitchen began preparing scrumptious meals for Ghu Sota. Gu Sota wanted to tell his mother that he didn't necessarily need to eat, but seeing her enthusiasm, he chose to stay quiet.
At least she was pampering him compared to his traitorous after and grandfather who would always watch his grandmother throw her magical shoes to his face. And like a boomerang, it always managed to smack him when he least expected it. Thinking of all the bullying he had gotten from his family in the academy, Ghu Sota couldn't help thinking it was nice to have a mother by his side. But what Ghu Sota didn't know was that if his mother knew of his mischief, she would also KO him with her boomerang shoes. Don't confuse her soft looks for weakness. What? Do you dare go to a dangerous forbidden forest without permission? (*∆*)
Soon, she will join the academy as a caretaker, and would definitely take over from his grandmother in smacking the hell out of him. But all that was in the future. For now, Ghu Sota was just happy to be with his soft and gentle mother. (^v^)
….
And just like Ghu Sota, many returned to see their loved ones, preparing for their departure in 4 days. But in the meantime, far in another corner of the country in a lone mansion, a breathtaking, beautiful girl suddenly woke from her slumber with a cold glint in her eyes. "Who? Who is it that is trying to ruin my first assignment?"
