Spiritual Dragon

Chapter 4: Are you dumb?

"For your last question, I know who you are. You are Akira Nakamura, from Akuma Village. Son of Devil Princess Aria and former Angel commander Caim." Lucas said as Akira and the others were surprised.

"D-Devil and Angel?" Milah asks as the King nod.

"You have a Brother that believes in being killed when a thousand monsters attack Akuma Village. while your father dies to protect the village, your mom dies while protecting you..." Lucas said as Akira headed down, shadow covering his eyes as he held the spear tightly.

•Flashback•

Akira has a flashback, and he remembers a scream from civilians and children. How his mother fights a dozen of Monster until she gets slashed by a dozen monsters, his mother dies on his arm, and her last word is.

"Be strong and well. You and your brother are our last hope." Akira's mother said that Akira didn't understand that, but he saw her die. He awakes a power that he never had.

He was screaming, yelling in pain, not from the wound but the pain from his heart. He remembers going berserk and killing all the monsters with his bare hands, and everything is blurry. He felt darkness slowly claim his body, but something stabbed through him that made him awake.

He saw a spear right through his heart. While there was so much pain, he felt darkness slowly fade away, and the spear was the same spear that his father used; from far away, he could see his dad saying to him even though he didn't hear his voice.

"Be strong, and walk tall, my sons." Akira's father smiled as a hand stabbed right through his chest with a beating heart out of his chest and died right in front of Akira.

Rage, pain, and loss can be felt, which is all he could remember before he passed out and remembers he awake on his master's back carrying him to safety.

•Flashback End•

"You train with Master Sun for ten years, and now you are here. You are no Human or any race like any of us. You something more, you born by Devil and Angel blood which makes you Nephilim. A legendary race that will go against Devil, Angel, or even God just for world peace." Lucas said that as Akira looked the King in the eyes.

"If you said I didn't know you, No Sir Akira, I know you more than you know." Lucas walks to Akira and taps Akira's chest where his heart is. "And lastly, you have the same soul of a warrior and not just any warriors; this warrior has once led and protected this world," Lucas said as he patted Akira's shoulder.

"And I believe you are going to do the same thing as your ancestor did; that's why I agreed with my daughter when she said you are the one for her. She..." Lucas's word stops when Emelias decide to speak.

"I can predict a future, and when I sleep, I see things. Before I get captured, I dream that I will get kidnapped and be safe by someone who can weld light and darkness and that someone is you. You safe me, Akira; you safe us." Emelias broke the hug with the girls and walked to Akira as Lucas went back to his wife.

"But this is a sign," Emilias said with a warm smile as she touched his face where the red mark crossed his left eye. "A sign that you need my help. Your darkness gets stronger when you help by curing our injuries. That is why I decided to become your wife, so I can always be your side when you need me..." Emilias smiled at Akira, then Akira felt his hands being held.

Asuka and Asagi held his hands with smiles on their face as they said.

"We also will... I don't care what you are. Demon or Angel... You are you." Asuka said as Asagi nod.

"Aww, young love!" Esta said as she hugged her husband. Lucas, Chihane, and Milah chuckled as Lhoris rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Asagi and Asuka quickly let go of the grabs and hid their face from everyone. Emelias give a warm smile at Akira.

Later, a new scene appears. Akira is standing in Chihane room with the girls standing beside him. Milah standing beside Chihane while the red hair sitting on her chair. The Royal elves sit in guest chairs, and Emelias sit on her mother's lap.

"Why do I have to wear this? again?" Akira said as he saw he had the slightly same jacket he wore before. The only difference is that the three-strip on his right arm is light blue instant Yellow. "Is not like I dislike it, just why?"

"Why what? It looks good on you, right girls?" Chihane asks the girls as they nod.

"Seriously?" Akira asks in annoyance. "So what now? Are we gonna attack the Human King later?"

The King shook his head and said.

"Yes and no." Akira and the others look at The King as The King stands up and walks around the room. "Yes, we are going to plan to attack, and No, you won't be in it." Lucas stops and looks at the girls and Akira.

"Why?" Akira asks. He wants to know why he can't join them.

"You are strong, but you are also dumb," Chihane said bluntly to Akira.

"W-What you call me?!" Akira is slightly angry at her words.

"You heard me, you dumb!" Chihane said again as Akira lost his temper.

"WHAT THE UNDERWORLD YOU CALL ME!" Akira yells as he wants to hit the Zodiac warrior, but is only held by the girls.

"QUIET, YOU IDIOT! Then what is 1+1!" Chihane yells as she slams his hands onto the desk.

"IS 11! WHO'S DUMB NOW! THAT OLD SUN TEACH ME!" Akira immediately yells the answer as Lucas and Loris cover their mouth to hold the laughter; as for the female, it just shows a sign want to laugh at him except, Chihane, who is rolling on the ground laughing.

"11? Hahaha, you kidding me, right?" Chihane said as she looked at Akira, and he looked confident about his answer.

"My Husband, what 1+1 is 2." Emilias walk toward him as she pulls her finger when she sees his confused face. "Here looks, I have a one-finger, and if I put another one, how many fingers do I have?" Emilias ask with two fingers out her palm.

"Uhh... 2?" Akira said.

Emelias, nod happily as she hugs Akira and says. "That's correct! You are smart, my husband!"

"Uhh... thanks?" Akira reply.

"Yeah, he's smarter than a 3-year-old toddler," Chihane said as she got a glare from Akira. "Look, Sun send you here to learn, and not fight the empire, at least not yet." Chihane looked at Akira as she said. "The jacket you wear is Spirit Academy uniform, the three stripes on your right arm sleeve showing what rank or what class you are in. In your case, the light blue one shows you are in a low class."

Akira sighed in defeat; it seemed like he didn't have many choices. He did see some logic in the Flame Tiger's words.

"Then when do I start?" Akira asks.

"Tomorrow, with the girls. They also study in the same academy rank class as you, and don't worry, this rank class isn't from the Title they have but what the Quality they had. Get smarter and stronger later; you will be promoted to your rank class. Or I may say to you, get smarter." Chihane said to Akira with an innocent smile.

"Whatever..." Akira replies back in annoyance. 'I swear this woman gonna test my temper every day from now on...'
