Last Wish System

Chapter 254

Yale needed a few seconds to recognize Zack and Aizu, he hadn't seen them in six years, and they had grown a lot, but they were far easier to recognize compared with George .

Zack was similar to his old self, but the expression on his face was far more serious than before; losing against Heruk that day had affected him a lot .

He wasn't too tall; Yale was a half-head taller than he was . Moreover, he didn't seem to have a well-built body . Of course, that was a misconception because Zack didn't neglect the Warrior Path; it was just that most students like George had bulging muscles and Zack didn't because battling melee wasn't his style .

No one in the Nacesai Academy could underestimate the strength he had in that skinny-looking body, but that in truth it was very fit and had surprised everyone who had seen him without clothes .

Zack didn't forget his dreams about archery and continued training in it without stop for all the six years . Even though he hadn't been able to advance to the apprentice stage in archery, his arrows could hit very distant targets based on pure strength and ability . Sadly, that wasn't enough for training archery, and he didn't know the secret about it .

On the other hand, Aizu's body had changed a lot since she wasn't a kid anymore . She was already a grown woman, but it was easy to recognize her seeing her face .

She had very good looks, and everyone in Nacesai City considered her as a beauty; her looks had mesmerized many men in Nacesai City, but she had ignored all of them . She never cared about the backgrounds or the talents of those people . In fact, a lot of them had been beaten by her due to their insistence in pestering her .

She had a natural resistance to anything related to marrying someone or even having a relationship with a man due to her past with her clan; the only man she would allow to be near her was her master, who she respected with all her heart .

She had been freed from her engagement with the lewd old man when Heruk's Clan was destroyed, but her clan didn't need too much time to create another engagement for her to another old man with a similar reputation in another city .

Of course, the city where Aizu's clan was planning to sell her to that other old man was the same one that Yale had just destroyed with the help of the beast horde, the golems, and some mages of Nacesai Academy .

Aizu's clan wanted to obtain the favor of the True Empire to join them in good conditions; that clan was one of the first ones in surrender to them in Nacesai City because they had already started colluding with them since that moment .

However, even though Aizu didn't know anything about the True Empire nor those years later a war would happen between the two cities, she had refused to agree to such marriage and decided to face her clan; the Nacesai Academy and everyone who knew her situation supported her decision .

She had just been freed from the fate of marrying a lewd old man and her clan just thought in engaging her to another lewd old man, which was something that provoked the loathing of the decent people in Nacesai City .

That day, she stood in front of her father and personally cut all the relationships with her clan; the clan tried to retaliate by kidnapping her because she was an important asset for them as she had been sold to the True Empire . In fact, they already obtained a method from the True Empire to put a mark on her soul to threaten her with enslaving her if she disobeyed .

Unluckily for her clan, Swordmad and Sainac were present and protected her from everything Aizu's clan had planned against her . After all, Aizu was still an important talent in the Nacesai Academy, and she was Yale's disciple, so both Elder Rank Experts had taken good care of her .

All the members of her clan had moved to the other city when the war between the cities started, and they were still inside when the beast horde attacked those inside the city, so it wasn't difficult to guess their fate .

Of course, Aizu was happy about their fates because she hated them more than anyone could imagine; her only regret was didn't see their deaths personally .

"You two look very well . "

Yale hadn't interacted with too many people in the time he was in the Nacesai Academy, so George and the two of them could be considered his childhood friends; Yale was happy to see them again and that they had chosen to follow him to Imperial City .

"Master . . . "

Aizu had been waiting for six years to meet her master again, but at that moment, she was unable to react . She wanted to hug him, but she didn't know if Yale would be angry if she did that .

While she was hesitating, she noticed that someone else had jumped towards her to hug her .

The one who hugged her was a cute wolf half-beast girl . Aizu had heard from Sainac that Wyba could transform, but it was still difficult to believe it even seeing Wyba with her own eyes .

"Wyba?"

Aizu saw that Wyba nodded . Wyba had recognized Aizu's scent and had been very happy to see her again, so she jumped to hug her . After all, Aizu was also someone who had spent time with her when she was just a cub .

She returned the hug to Wyba; the hair on Wyba's head was still as fluffy as she remembered from when she hugged Wyba as a wolf cub .

"Yale, thank you very much!"

While Aizu was with Wyba, Zack bowed to Yale expressing his gratefulness .

"You beat and then kill that bastard who almost ruined my life, and your sister was the one who healed me . I will never be able to pay back this debt of gratitude . Since I awakened from that battle, I swore myself that I would help you no matter what you asked me to do . "

The fact that Yale had killed Heruk in the special realm avoided Zack to fall into craziness to seek revenge .

"How is your archery going?"

After hearing Yale's question, Zack was a bit embarrassed .

"I improved a lot, but I am not even at the apprentice stage yet . "

That was something that tormented him, but he didn't know anyone who had reached the apprentice stage in archery so he could only advance blindly .

"I am already at the master stage in archery; I can help you later once Ange is safe . A devoted archer like you will be important in the war . "

Yale felt that Zack was worthy of his trust, so he wanted to help him to become someone who could help him in the war .

Zack was shocked that Yale had managed to not only reach the apprentice stage but went even higher and reached the master stage . However, Yale had shown to be an unfathomable monster in training terms, so that progress was still believable .

"Really? I know that I can't accept more favors from you, but I can't reject this one . "

Zack could only choose to be thick-skinned at that moment because improving in archery was his main goal in training .

"You don't need to reject it . You have stepped forward to protect the Revgen Empire in the next war, so it is normal that you obtain some benefits . "

Although Yale said that, the benefits obtained usually wouldn't be teachings about archery . That was because archery was very difficult to train without knowing the secret behind and those who knew it didn't share it easily . Yale chose to help Zack because they were friends and he felt Zack's sincerity when he said that he would do anything .

"I will also do anything for the master! I am willing to accept any order! Even if the orders aren't related to training or battle . . . "

Aizu blushed when saying that . Some students felt angry towards Yale for a second before retracting their gazes remembering the fate of the city that provoked Yale .

"Sure . It will also be helpful to have you helping to heal people . The battle strength isn't the only important thing in a war . Anyway, I will also teach you to improve your battle prowess; currently, you are too weak . "

Aizu sighed thinking that Yale was still as dense as before, but Yale wasn't dense at all at that moment, he just acted like if he was . The main reason was that he didn't have any romantic interest in anyone .

However, he didn't forget that in the Larken Clan was a crazy girl who loved him for two lifetimes who would turn mad if she saw that he and Aizu were intimate .

Yale felt that if he showed that he understood the meaning of Aizu's words, she would try to be more aggressive in her approach and there would be problems with Lar in the future .

"Let's go; there is a portal near here that leads to Imperial City . "

Yale saw Swordmad and George in the distance and decided to depart . As for the armors on the golems, he decided to gift them to the Nacesai Academy because even damaged they would still far better than any other armor they had, and Yale had already asked Aiwai to make more, so he didn't worry too much about that .
