Mytho-Academy Next Generation

Chapter 10: The Japanese Demon

Connor

After getting yelled at by Emiko, I was already having a headache. Angel, Emiko, Idril, Himari and I were all in the courtroom of the Gods.

Connor: "I'm still not wrong with what I said. I may have been a little too blunt with it, but it was for her own good!"

Emiko: "But now she's run off with the rest of them!"

Connor: "How is that my fault?! I'm the one who told her not to go!"

Angel: "Please calm down you two"

Himari: "Yeah, it's not that big of a deal"

Emiko: "How is it not?! Lucy could be killed out there!!"

Angel: "All of our children are in serious danger out there, not just Lucy"

Emiko: "But she's the only mortal!! I've been the one training her, and I know she isn't ready!"

Connor: "Then tell her that!! I told her not to go!"

Idril: "P-Please stop fighting, it's not helping"

I took a deep breath.

Connor: "What are we supposed to do?"

Himari: "We can't really do anything now. We don't know where they ended up since it's out of reach of the Gods"

Angel: "All we can do is pray"

Connor: "I should go out and find her"

Emiko: "Don't be stupid, you'll never find them in time. We need you here in case of the peace talks going wrong. You're our ace"

Connor: "Fine... But while we're here sitting on our asses, our children are risking their lives"

Idril: "Now you know what it was like for your parents, back during the war"

Connor: "That was different"

Emiko: "Why?"

Connor: "Because we were the only ones capable of fighting the Fallen. We could've sent anyone for this task, why did it have to be our children? Hell, sending us would've been a better choice"

Angel placed her hand on mine.

Angel: "Connor, you know why they have to go"

Connor: "Because the Gods are making them, I know. Just like how they sent us on quests like this, not helping in the slightest"

Angel squeezed my hand.

Angel: "Would you have grown stronger if you never went on the quest?"

Connor: "No, but I wouldn't have died. I got lucky, they won't"

Angel: "Please, have faith in them. Even you know some of them are more powerful than us when we were their age"

Himari: "Lucas, right?"

Angel: "Yes, while everyone thinks that Yuna is the most powerful demigod in the school, it's actually Lucas. But... no one seems to acknowledge that"
