Zero to Hero (Prequel/prototype)

Chapter 79. Conclusion

"I still don't understand how Zishell knew I was going to teleport to that spot before I even knew I was going to teleport to that spot! It made no sense!" Ken complained as he sat with the girls the following day to watch the final day of the open tournament.

"Who cares! You showed off your talent. You are the youngest ever to reach holy level! Now you can just relax and spend your life with me instead of worrying about getting stronger and all that other nonsense!" Genesis replied happily.

"Genesis! Just because you have zero desire to do anything doesn't mean I shouldn't be frustrated after putting in 5 whole years of effort just to be dealt with like I was nothing! Did you at least go talk with Helen and see if you are interested in learning some healing magic?" Ken asked.

"Nope! I can't learn healing magic because I don't want to imagine you ever getting hurt. To learn it, it's like I'm admitting you might end up getting hurt and I rather you just never do anything again and we have an easy relaxing life." Genesis replied to Ken's dismay.

Giving up trying to convince the forever unmotivated girl, Ken turned his attention to chatting with Vincent and Fernard as the trio discussed about the matches and ways to improve so they could eventually overtake the heroes.

The matches ended up playing out like they typically did with Zishell and Julius facing off in the final match and Zishell taking the victory once again as the elf section of the crowd cheered loudly.

While Ryder announced Zishell as the victor and ended the final match, Lucia got busy with the interviews as she darted around the stadium interviewing all of the noticeable students like Ryo who impressed, and the regulars like Fernard and Vincent before finally arriving at Ken's group.

After chatting happily with Seraphina and failing to get Lovetta to say much, Lucia finally turned her attention to Ken.

"Hello, Ken! That match against Zishell yesterday was epic! In my years here at the academy, I have never experienced the stadium rattle the way it did yesterday!

I was also informed that you have achieved holy level?" Lucia said happily without any hints of resentment, seemingly to have finally gotten over the stunt Ken pulled.

"I'm sure you haven't forgotten what I said a few years ago and thanks to the generosity of the Yelwraek king, instead of punishing me for my impulsive words, he promised that I could have both princesses as my wives if I reached holy level this year!" Ken said happily.

After chatting with Ken some more and congratulating him on becoming the youngest in history to reach holy level and wishing him the best of luck on his marriage, Lucia joined Ryder and thanked everyone as another successful tournament came to an end.

"Glad to see Lucia all cherry again." Ken said happily as the group headed back to the suite to get ready for the banquet.

"Why? So you can sleep with her again?" Genesis questioned.

"Genesis... You have been too antsy. I know it was my bad for being away so much but that's behind us now!

You need to relax a bit and not be so accusatory in your remarks! I have no interest in Lucia and our only intimacy was business." Ken replied while Genesis completely ignored his reasoning.

"I got you a nice fancy suit for the banquet!" Cecilla said happily as Ken entered their suite.

"Why am I wearing a nice new fancy suit?" Ken asked as he slumped on the sofa.

"Obviously to look your best when you go and get my father's permission to take me as your wife!" Cecilla replied, the most cheerful Ken had ever seen her.
