Celestial Bloodline

Early in the morning, Kyle jumped out of bed when a knock echoed at the door. He wasn't sleeping; he was meditating to clear his mind, so he quickly opened the door to find twins familiar faces standing outside.

Logan and Mason greeted him. He could still see fear in their eyes, but unlike before, Kyle noticed that the fear was concealed beneath a layer of gratitude and respect. Mason stepped forward toward him.

"We're here to pick you up. Everyone has gathered, so the ship will leave in an hour."

Kyle gave them an okay sign before heading back toward the bed where the crimson bird was sleeping. Bia gasped when he pinched her neck with two fingers and lifted her body to eye level.

"Wake up, or I will toss you in the water again."

Instantly, the phoenix hissed at him in anger, her feathers bristling in alarm. This damn bastard! He had conjured water last night and mercilessly dipped her in it again and again, insisting she was too dirty. He didn't stop, even when she cried and flapped her wings in protest!

-"I'm already fully awake, okay!"

Kyle's eyes flickered with amusement as he placed her on his shoulder.

"That's good to hear."

Bia snorted and climbed onto his head, tugging at his hair in retaliation. He didn't stop her and walked toward the twins.

"Let's go."

Without wasting any time, Mason and Logan turned around, and the four of them left the hotel, heading straight toward the large building known as the Mission Hall, surrounded by towering walls.

Kyle had been there before, but after passing through the bustling area, the twins chose to take a detour instead of entering the Mission Hall, heading toward the open area on the left side of the structure.

Bia narrowed her eyes as she spotted a massive flying ship docked in the center of the open area. In front of it stood at least a hundred demi-human and elves, alongside Zhask and another elder.

As the twins approached the ship, the buzzing atmosphere around the ship fell eerily silent, with all eyes fixed on the duo before shifting to Kyle.

A few astonished gasps filled the air as every single person present already knew that the dark-haired human approaching them with the twins was none other than the famous nature's favorite!

It's because, in response to the students who were abruptly informed that they would be leaving for the war in a month when they were originally supposed to leave in a few months, the elders had no choice but to tell them that the reason for this was that the one who had killed, Will, the third shadow general would be joining them!

Kyle furrowed his brows at the hushed whispers and the way everyone stared at him in awe as he halted in front of Zhask. He wasn't particularly fazed by the stares, but he couldn't shake the feeling that his journey would be far from peaceful.

Seeing his frown, Zhask gestured for the students to quiet down before asking the other elder to allow them to board the ship. He then proceeded toward the vessel with Kyle and the twins.

"We can't use a teleportation portal to the Forsaken Land, where the war is ongoing, as we need to keep the presence of this planet secret from the dark side. So, as I mentioned earlier, we will travel by ship. It will be a two-day journey, and another elder and I will be responsible for ensuring everyone's safety throughout the trip."

Kyle hummed in agreement. He had no issues with the setting. He didn't float and climbed aboard the ship like everyone else, doing his best to minimize his presence. After informing him of the location of his room on the ship, Zhask left him alone. After all, he needed to operate and protect the ship alongside the other elder.

Remembering something, Bia suddenly tugged at Kyle's hair.

- "We're leaving for the war... don't you want to inform Yue and the others?"

Kyle blinked. He didn't particularly miss anyone except Yue, as they were all quite annoying, but he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy their company. Moreover, after recalling some of his old memories, he felt as though he had not seen them in years, even though it had only been a little over a month since they parted ways. Therefore, he was looking forward to seeing them.

"No, I want to give them a surprise."

The faint yet genuine smile that curled up on his lips for some reason elicited a few squeals from some of the female students who had boarded the ship before him.

Kyle's smile instantly faded as his gaze drifted toward them. The hundred or so elves and demi-humans stood in small groups at the front of the ship, whispering and laughing among themselves. He even spotted two familiar demi-women he had encountered a month ago in the mission hall, staring at him intensely.

"What a nuisance."

Bia clicked her tougue at his words.

-'It's all because of your face! Seriously, check yourself out in the mirror-your skin is glowing. This always happens after your body is healed by your bloodline!'

Kyle ignored the phoenix's words, and before any of the students could try to approach him, a golden barrier appeared around him, clearly visible to everyone, preventing them from getting close. He permitted the twins to pass through as he walked toward the front of the ship and gestured for them to come closer.

The ship began to float, as Mason and Logan rushed over to the human, feeling a bit aggrieved because, after Kyle formed a barrier around himself, the other students were giving them stinky looks. But their minds went blank, and they turned pale when they heard Kyle's next words.

"It's strange. I'm not sure I felt a calming sensation from one of you last time, but it's not present this time. So, I can assume it was either a skill or a spell, right?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Mason started to sweat, anxious that his twin might face severe consequences or might die for daring to use a skill on Kyle without permission. In a moment of panic, he dropped to his knees and pulled Logan down with him.

"I swear... it's not harmful! We didn't mean any harm!"

Kyle's lips twitched. So, his suspicion was spot on. They had indeed activated a calming skill or spell around him. He noticed from the corners of his eyes that after the twins suddenly knelt, everyone around him backed away from his location. A hint of amusement flickered in

his eyes.

"I know it's not harmful because if it were, you two wouldn't be alive right now." The twins trembled, but they were dumbfounded when Kyle suddenly asked them to explain that skill or spell. Without hesitation, Mason shared everything the two knew. Since the skill they activated around Kyle was merely a low-rank skill, they felt no need to conceal it.

Kyle rubbed his chin thoughtfully. So, that was the reason why he recalled some of his old memories so easily.

"Emotional Resonance? A (D)-rank skill. Its effects aren't bad. You two should activate it

when you're around me."

The twins exchanged glances and agreed immediately. They would do it, as long as Kyle didn't make things difficult for them.
