307 Now Is Not The Time To Be Happy

"I see…" Alexander muttered. "You did well, Lux. Thank you."

When Alexander returned to Barbatos Academy, he had already steeled himself for the news of his mother's passing. However, instead of her death, a possible rebirth awaited her.

This news alone made Alexander, who didn't usually praise Lux, complimented the teenager and thanked him for keeping one of their important family members from death.

Lux shook his head. "I owe my life to Grandma. Without her, I would have long been gone from this world. This is but a small thing for everything she has done for me."

A fleeting smile appeared on Alexander's lips, which the Half-Elf managed to catch before it disappeared.

"What are your plans for the future?" Alexander asked.

The Headmaster of Barbatos Academy and the red-headed teenager were currently inside his office, and there were only two of them.

Lux had told Iris that he wanted to talk to her father alone, and she respected his decision, so she stayed inside her room to wait for his return.

The Half-Elf used to be terrified of staying in the same room as Alexander because he felt like a useless person whenever he was around the other party. Now, it was different. Lux had already broken free from the shackles that bound him, allowing him to stand side-by-side with the strongest members of the young generation.

He had gained everyone's recognition after winning the Lionheart Tournament that even his step-father, who had very high standards, had no choice but to acknowledge his achievement.

Right now, Lux was able to look Alexander straight in the eyes and talk to him without stuttering like he used to in the past.

"Revenge," Lux replied. "Prince Lowell and his entourage are still at large. I want to personally make all of them pay for what they have done to my family."

Alexander nodded his head in understanding. If possible, he also wanted to personally deal with the lascivious prince and the Ranker who bullied his daughter, but after the meeting with Emperor Andreas, he was forced to stay his hand.

The other Kingdoms didn't want to go on a war against the Allied Kingdoms under Emperor Andreas, and Alexander knew that if he forced the issue, the relationship between the Solaians and the Elysians would become strained.

Because of this, he and Maximilian agreed to let the members of the young generation settle their dispute by themselves. Whatever the outcome would be, none of the adults was allowed to interfere in the struggles between teenagers.

The whereabouts of the Domain of the Fallen had also become known to everyone. Because of this, the Alliance of the Six Kingdoms, Barbatos Academy, as well as the Rowan Tribe, was left with no choice but to give half the quota to the other Kingdoms, in order to settle the cost of the destruction that Alexander and Maximilian had done to the Ashina Kingdom in a peaceful manner.

"Prince Lowell has a Ranker as his personal bodyguard," Alexander commented. "Unless you reach that rank, it will be difficult for you to kill him."

Lux nodded his head in understanding.

"For now, my plan is to stay in the territories that belong to our Faction in order to gather resources to become stronger," Lux replied. "I already talked to Iris and declined her offer to join the Serenity Guild. I still have things to settle with the Wildgarde Stronghold, and I'm sure that I'll receive an earful when I return. But after thinking it through, I decided to form my own Guild."

Alexander once again nodded his head.

Lux was raised in Wildgarde Stronghold, so he had a responsibility to help it grow. He was not shameless enough to ignore the people that cared and supported him all these years. The only problem was that he didn't intend to join Nero's Guild, the Storm Dragons, and wanted to form his own Guild, so that he could have his own faction within Elysium.

"Founding a guild is not easy," Alexander stated. "You must first receive the approval of three Guildmasters from any branch of the Adventurer's Guild. Once that is done, you will need to take a test in order to gain the Token of Leadership, which would allow you to formally register your guild in Elysium as a Bronze-Ranked Guild.

"However, before you are able to register your guild, you will need to gather thirty people to serve as your guild members. Finally, you need to think of the name of the Guild. Then, and only then, will your guild be truly recognized as an official guild by the people of Elysium."

Alexander eyed the red-headed teenager in front of him and arched his eyebrow.

"Can you do that?" Alexander inquired. "Or do you need my assistance in order to establish your guild?"

Lux shook his head. "I want to create a guild with my own hands. Although it is not going to be easy, I am prepared to take on this challenge."

"Good. I look forward to the completion of your guild."

"Thank you, Father."

Alexander's body stiffened when he heard what Lux called him. Lux was technically his step-son because Vera had registered the young man under his name, but he had always kept his adopted son at arm's length, making Lux afraid to call him father.

But it was different now. The Half-Elf who once shied away at his mere presence was now seated in front of him, without showing any signs of fear or anxiety.

"You have truly grown, Lux," Alexander commented before standing from his chair. He then circled around his table and stood beside Lux, looking down on him. "May fortune smile upon you."

The Headmaster of Barbatos Academy then patted Lux's shoulder twice before leaving the room.

The Half-Elf's eyes followed Alexander's retreating figure with clenched fists, not because of anger, but happiness. His step-father's gesture had told him many things, and one of them was that Alexander had finally approved of him from the bottom of his heart.

This alone made Lux feel like jumping in joy, but he reigned in this impulse.

'Now is not the time to be happy,' Lux thought as he rose from his seat. 'I still have things to do.'

Now that he had talked to Alexander, it was time for him to return to Elysium. But before that, he would need to return to Wildgarde Stronghold in order to talk to the Elders who had long been waiting for his return.
