Chapter 227 Let's all calm down

Afues gulped dryly as the eyes of the young man were now looking at him. He needed to calm the young man down. Even though he didn't know exactly how strong the young man was, fighting the Osted family which was Evior's family alongside the Order of Truth would be suicidal. Even if the young man was powerful enough to fight back or escape, Afeus himself wouldn't be able to survive such a conflict.

Since he was the one who brought the young man into the school, some of the blame would be pointed at him. Knowing how petty Evior's family was, made it easy to guess what would happen to him if Evior dies. Since the young man had incredible power even the Osted family might have some difficulties dealing with him. On the other hand, it would be so easy for them to kill the one who brought him into the city.

If it weren't for that Afeus wouldn't really care if an a**hole like Evior dies. So he either dies a few days later because of the young man killing Evior, or he dies now because the young man will kill him. Well, the chances of convincing this mysterious young man were way better than trying to talk to the sh*tty Osted family.

\"You?! Where am I?! What's all this noise in my head!? Answer me?!\" The young man tossed aside the scared Evior and slowly walked towards Afeus. The overwhelming might of his presence made Afeus weak in the knees, but despite that Afeus stood his ground and looked at the young man's eyes. It was then Afeus saw it for a brief moment, that he wasn't the only one who was scared the young man was scared too.

\"I see...\" Afeus decided to gamble on his guess about what the young man was feeling. \"I know you're confused and frightened. You don't know who you are and you're in an unfamiliar environment. So how about let's all calm down for a minute and talk.\"

The young man looked at Afeus and after a few seconds nodded his head. The intense suffocating aura the young man was emitting lessened. The moment that happened Evior and his group fled the scene.

Afeus wasn't bothered by Evior's group fleeing since he would've done the same if he had a choice. But right now his top priority was to calm down the person in front of him.

\"... Tell me do you know who I am?\" The young man spoke while looking around.

\"I was actually trying my best to wake you up. I was hoping once you woke up, you could answer that question for me.\" Afeus awkwardly smiled.

\"So you don't know anything as well.\" The young man looked at Afeus with a slight look of dejection. Afeus wasn't really sure about his guess of the young man looking dejected for a second. Seeing as the young man had a pretty stern face while he was talking.

\"I do know that you were in a forest, specifically the monster-filled Kerrolan forest and in there you were unconscious, for I don't know how long.\"

\"What was I doing in a forest? How did I survive unconscious in a place full of monsters?\"

\"I'm not really sure why but I think it's because the monsters could sense that you're a threat. That brings me to another thing I learned about you, it would seem that you're body and mana are geared towards fighting. It's like you were breed to fight.\"

Hearing what Afeus was saying the young man started to open and close his hands. He then closed his eyes and for some reason, he could indeed feel his body brimming with strength. Also even though he can't remember most of anything, he could still understand the words being said to him, he also understood what mana was.

\"I know this might be hard for you at the moment, but I want you to try and remember anything about yourself. Close your eyes and concentrate, try to remember something, anything at all.\"

The young man did as Afeus suggested, he closed his eyes and concentrated. Afeus could see that the young man was concentration as hard as he can. The young man then held onto his head as he felt extreme pain. Though he was feeling unimaginable pain, the young man didn't stop trying to concentrate on remembering.

Afeus really wanted to help, but he didn't know what to do in this situation. The young man then gritted his teeth and mumbled something to himself. \"Do you think this enough?! This isn't going to stop me!\" He doesn't know who he was saying this to, but the young man felt it was something he needed to say.

The young man then roared a bit after which he knelt onto the ground panting. He was sweating so much that it looked like he took a bath. Afeus cautiously approached him and asked, \"are you alright?\"

The young man who was still breathing heavily looked at Afeus, his eyes were bloodshot. The young man then controlled his breathing and stood up. \"Yeah, I'm fine... More than that I think I remembered something. I think I was a warrior of sorts, in fact maybe I was a Commander as I recall standing in front of thousands of armored soldiers. I also think that I remembered my name, I guess I was called Kretos, as the armored soldiers called me lord Kretos. That's about it, that's pretty much all I can remember. Does that name mean anything to you?\"

'A Commander named Kretos?' Afeus tried to recall if he heard of that name. He does feel that the name sounded oddly familiar. Still, he knew that wasn't the name of any of the Commanders from the Serbek Kingdom as well as the Reschbeauch Kingdom. Granted that he wasn't really all that familiar with the names of the Commanders of the enemy kingdom, but Afeus would still recall a Commander named Kretos with such powerful mana. 'Maybe he's a Commander from a far-off country... But that doesn't explain how a Commander this powerful would be in the Kerrolan forest.'

\"I'm sorry, you're name does sound familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it from. Though I do know you aren't a Commander of any of the nearby kingdoms. We could ask one of my professors, he knows more about the world than I do. Maybe she has heard of a Commander named Kretos.\"
