God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

"Welcome back!" The AI's automated voice rang out immediately as they stepped into the Aethercraft.

"Begin evacuation process!" Oliver ordered into the air, and immediately the AI voice rang out once more.

"Evacuation process will now begin."

"Destination being calculated."

"Route checked."

"Evacuation process to return back to the Celestial Realm will now begin!"

The AI voice rang out as the aircraft lifted higher into the depths of space before instantly teleporting away, covering

thousands of miles in a single flash.

With surprise, Nolan watched as the godly ten immediately ran forth with speed and they collapsed into the seats in the living room, breathing heavily.

"HAAH!"

"HAHAHA!"

"HAHAAHAHA!"

"HAHAAHAHAHAH!"

MUHHHHHAAHAHAHAAH!"

No one knew who began the devilish laughter, but soon the entire living room was filled with roaring laughter.

"That has to be..."

"The craziest mission..."

"We all have ever embarked upon!" The triplets said, drawing forth another bout of laughter.

Truly, the mission was nothing but crazy.

Who would have expected they would all be defeated by a single entity, even after the confidence they held within themselves?

And who would have thought that death would never truly come in the end?

Who would have thought that the plans they had so meticulously prepared would ultimately fail?

And who would have expected Oliver to be overtaken by a nightmarish creature, with Oliver himself wearing an embarrassed smile on his face?

"You still don't know how he entered you, do you?" Ferris's voice rang out as he looked at Oliver, who shook his head.

Oliver now recalled the events of the mission and felt nothing but shame.

He had tried to kill Ferris, a person he had considered a brother, and even tried to kill Nolan too.

But they weren't angry, nor did they blame him.

It wasn't Oliver who was to blame, but the nightmarish creatures.

"And no one understands here how you were able to defeat Draugr..." Ferris's voice rang out as they all turned to look at Nolan, whose eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Now he has to explain himself again. What should he even say?

Nolan's lips were about to open when they were caught off guard.

"Perhaps, there are just a few things that should remain as they are during this mission."

"I got overtaken by a nightmarish creature and I don't even know how, and Nolan ended up defeating Draugr, which we all couldn't even defeat. Weall also don't know how."

"Perhaps, we all simply accept the fact and leave it as it is."

"Let it be a little confusion which we can always ponder and reflect upon in the future."

" A little something we have no answer too." Oliver said, strangely coming to Nolan's aid.

His point made sense, so the godly ten felt no reason for Nolan to explain himself further.

"And I think it's time I also come clean to you, Nolan..." Oliver added as he turned to Nolan.

"The truth is, I hated you, Nolan..." Oliver said harshly, and the others remained silent.

"I don't believe in people being given random opportunities."

"I believe in working your way up to something."

"I didn't want you to come on this mission just based on Adrian's luck recommendation."

"I wanted you to be here on your own ability, which I thought you lacked."

"I felt your presence here was unworthy."

"That explains why I didn't try to ask for your opinions on any of the matters at all."

"I just don't think you were supposed to be among us at all."

"You can call it arrogance or pride, but that's how I felt about you, Nolan." Oliver said.

"But you have proven me wrong many times during this mission."

"From your little observations to your act of fighting together with us against a clearly unbeatable enemy and going all out, and eventually coming back to defeat Draugr when you could have taken the chance to run away with your power.."

"Now, you have earned my absolute respect..." Oliver said to Nolan, and this time, one could see he was serious about his words.

[In the end, the truth always remains: Respect is shown after you have demonstrated your ability]

[That is why you must work on your ability, Nolan.]

[One day, you will reach a level of ability where you will earn the absolute respect of anyone in this plane of existence!]

[And then your wish to become absolutely free will be realized.]

[The horizon ahead is far, Nolan! But just like you have always done, you will prevail over it.]

[You will always find a way...] The system had its small, encouraging speech.

"No!" Nolan replied.

"We will always find a way together..." Nolan said to the system.

While Nolan might want to take all the credit, he had to give the system its due.

Without the system, he would never have known to absorb the Anti-Aether from Lorelie, and he would never have survived at all if not for the system helping him with its points to withstand the effects of the evolution.

And if he were to be completely and overly humble, he would say that he himself would have been nothing without the system's help!

That was the truth of it!

[Now you're looking less and less like a peasant all day. Hehe] the system said to Nolan, who could only grin.

"I have no hard feelings within at all," Nolan said to Oliver.

"And I also have to say, I owe you one, Nolan. Thank you for saving my life at the last second..." Ferris said to him.

The truth was, he owed his life to Nolan.

If not for Nolan's quick intervention and his throwing the dagger at the sword piece from Oliver's attack, he would have been pierced through his head and would surely have died.

The last person he thought would end up helping him was Nolan.

But the young man had no doubt surprised him.

"Forget about it. I just did what anyone else in the group would have done..." Nolan responded.
