Solo Leveling X TBATE | Looking For Purpose (Rewrite)

Xyrus

As I left my room I bumped into Reynolds, Arthur's father. Knowing his future I slipped a few shadows for him. As he told me that he wanted to talk to me I followed him to a garden.

"It seems like you and Arthur are very close," He said

"Yes we've spent four years together," I said

"Jin-Woo what do you think of Arthur," He asked me

"Sometimes he could be frighteningly mature, childish sometimes, while other times unreadable" I answered

"Thank you for looking out for him while We were separated I am forever grateful to you" He said tears began forming

"No worries it was fun being around him," I said as I patted his back

I returned to my room, and then went to the void to do training with my Ash, and Sylvia. As I noticed the sun rising, I quickly got out of the void and wanted to wake Art up I manifested a cold water ball on top of his face and dropped it. Art jumped up because of the cold and made Sylvie fly because of his sudden movements. I managed to catch Sylvie, but Arthur had his revenge by splashing my face with water, or at least he tried as I dodged the water before it was able to hit me, and appeared beside Arthur.

"Get up the sun's already up I can't even imagine you going to school with sleep problems like this," I said as I handed him a towel

"You're no different from Tess I'm going to die of a heart attack if you keep doing this," He said

"Whatever," I said as I exited the room with Sylvie on my shoulder

Arthur POV

After Jin-Woo so kindly woke me up I took a shower, changed my clothes, and got out of my room. After I got closer to the dining room I'm met with a pleasant smell of bacon as I entered the kitchen. Inside, I spotted Tabitha and my mother cooking something as they chatted. Lilia was sitting down at the table already, her legs swinging, obviously waiting for breakfast. As Jin-Woo was playing around with Sylvie like a doll, while dad was sitting on the table reading a newspaper while drinking coffee.

"Good morning Mom, Ma'am, Lilia!" I announced.

"G'morning!" "Kyu!" Both Ellie and Sylvie echo.

"Ah! Jin-Woo managed to wake you up! I remembered having the hardest time waking you up even when you were a baby, Art. I swear you slept like a log." My mother chuckled as she placed some eggs into a large plate.

"Mom you don't wanna know how that psychotic bastard woke me up," I thought to myself

Breakfast was great. Mother mentioned that usually the maids are the ones to cook but she wanted to cook today for me. It had been too long since I had my mother's cooking and I now realized how dearly I had missed it. I made sure to give some of the meat to Sylvie who didn't hesitate to gobble whatever entered her mouth, including my finger. Eventually, Ellie and Lilia both wanted to try feeding her so I told them to go ahead. Needless to say, Sylvie warmed up to both of them a bit more after being fed by them.

"The carriage is waiting out front so just leave the dishes in the sink and let's head out!" announced Tabitha.

We then went shopping together in Xyrus, as we stopped by a few food stalls.

"It's a shame Jin-Woo didn't come here there would be so many clothes that would suit him," Tabitha said as my mother nodded

"Did he know this would happen?" I thought

We eventually shopped till it was late, and thankfully we decided to return home. I ended up with ten different sets of clothes, half from Mother and the other half from Tabitha. Both Mother and I tried to stop Tabitha from buying me anything but she scolded us, playfully saying, "Just think of it as an investment. Besides, I've always wanted a son," while winking.
