Mytho-Academy Next Generation

Chapter 9: A Quest's Beginning

Lucas

I knew right away this quest was going to be a pain when they were sending us off at night. Pretty much all quests started in the morning so we had a good first day to get going. However since we didn't have much time, I guess I can understand why they sent us now.

My only issue is that we were all tired and wanted to sleep. We wouldn't get very far out there before we would need to sleep. And sleeping out there, helpless while we dream, is seriously dangerous.

Nonetheless, if the rest of them wanted to sleep while I kept watch, I wouldn't mind. I'm a night person anyways.

However once it became 8pm, the portal in the main gate formed, creating a large blue vortex.

Yuna: "Is everyone ready?"

Mia: "As ready as we'll ever be"

I thought it was complete bullshit that they were forcing Mia to go on this quest after she was so badly wounded. She had multiple bandages all over her body, however she put on a front that she was okay. Even I wasn't that heartless, I would've had her stay here.

However the one thing I definitely wasn't expecting was Lucy to come running at us as fast as a car. She ran a little too fast and ran straight into Mia, however Mia was strong enough to catch her.

Mia: "L-Lucy?! What are you doing here?"

Lucy hugged Mia tightly.

Lucy: "I'm so happy you're okay!!"

After a few seconds of hugging, they finally separated.

Lucy: "Dad changed his mind, I can go with you"

Immediately I was suspicious. Dad never changed his mind on things. Once he reached a decision, he was dead set on it. However his reasoning for having her stay couldn't have changed either.

Lucas: "Lucy, you can't go, you're not a—"

She held her hand out and a mini tornado formed in the palm of her hand. The wind that made up the tornado was red in color, the same color as chaos.

Yuna: "W-Woah!! Y-You really are a Demigod?!"

Lucy: "Yeah! Guess I was a late bloomer"

I looked over at Adrian and he seemed skeptical as well. Adrian was probably the smartest one here, so if anyone else saw this was weird, it would be him.

Adrian: "B-But you had no Demigod blood inside you before. Even the Gods told us that"

Lucy: "Maybe they were wrong"

Terran: "That definitely has happened in the past. Maybe they did miss it"

Adrian and I were on the same page, something wasn't adding up.

On the other hand, she was obviously controlling some form of chaos energy, which she definitely would inherit from Dad. I got Mom's genes, so maybe she got Dad's. Aunt Emiko and Dad's powers didn't even become known until they were our age. So maybe...

Lucas: "Well, if you're going to come with us, you better be ready for anything"

She nodded with her eyes filled with determination.

Lucy: "I'm ready!"

Yuna: "Alright then! Let's get going!!"

Right as I was about to walk into the portal, the hood of my hoodie was tugged on. I looked back and saw Lily floating behind me.

Lily: "Lucas, I'm coming with you"

Lucas: "Fine, just as long as you carry your own weight"

Lily: "Should be easy enough, since I'm always floating"
