Chapter 23: Chapter 21 - Clean Up

(About 5 minutes after Ivar got to the parked vehicle they came with)

Ivar was pacing back and forth while biting his fingernails.

He was contemplating if there was anything he could do at all to help the two brothers but the more he thought about it, the more he felt as if he had just run away with his tail tucked between his legs even though he also very much knew that there wasn't really much he could have done about anything in that scenario.

"I know. I know there wasn't much I could've done!" Ivar said, venting his frustrations as he punched a nearby tree.

"But if only I was stronger, none of these would've happened in the first place" he continued, landing another punch on the tree.

After venting out his frustrations for a few more minutes, he took a deep breath and tried his possible best to calm himself down, something which he successfully did.

He then looked down at his arm while raising it to look at the smartwatch on it, remembering how Flynn had thrown it to him.

'Why did he do that though?' Ivar wondered.

While he was trying to make heads or tails about what Flynn could've possibly been thinking of when he threw the watch to him, he began to hear the rumbling sound of vehicles from afar.

He immediately panicked as he thought it was reinforcement from the members of the dark guild and began to look around for places where he could hide but considering how he wasn't athletic enough to be able to jump or climb trees or could even drive, his only option was to hide inside the car.

The three vehicles eventually got to where the car had been parked and the rankers of the Tower could only spot a lone vehicle as they approached it.

"The GPS on the smartwatch leads here" one of the rankers silently said as he alighted from the vehicle.

The moment one of them opened the doors to the already parked car, Ivar immediately pounced on whoever it was, telling himself that even if he was going to go down, he wouldn't do so without a fight.

He was however met with no resistance as he looked down on whom he had pounced on and found a man who looked so similar to Aiden staring back at him.

He also noticed that most of the people who came out of the two other vehicles all wore a black jacket with the insignia of the Tower on it.

"Hahaha! This brat's got some real spunk to him" he heard a ranker with a boisterous voice say while laughing.

Immediately he realized this, he heard a deep calm voice as he was met with a question from the man whom he had pounced on.

"I presume you must be Ivar?" Leopold said while looking at Ivar above him.

Ivar stared for a second before he finally nodded his head affirmatively.

He then got off him and watched as Aiden and Flynn's father also stood up while dusting the dirt off himself, after which he then looked at Ivar squarely in the eye and asked.

"Good. Now tell me. What are my crazy sons up to?"

Ivar upon realizing that they were here to help, immediately gave them a short but still detailed explanation of everything that had happened and after Leopold and the rankers of the Tower heard what they did, they were very surprised, especially at the simple but effective plan they came up with.

"Haaaa…" Leopold sighed as he listened to what his sons did while pinching the ridge of his nose.

'Is this what they call a rebellious phase or are my sons just genuinely crazy?' he inwardly asked himself.

"Hahaha! Your sons are just as crazy as you were when we were kids. Maybe even crazier!" a man that seemed to be of a similar age to Leopold said, his hands constantly slapping Leopold's shoulders while laughing boisterously.

He was also the same man who was initially laughing when Ivar had pounced on Aiden and Flynn's father.

"Not now Sebastian" Leopold responded as he immediately took a deep breath and without so much as a warning, jumped up to the sky while leaving a small crater on the ground and dust everywhere.

Ivar raised his arms and covered his face with his two hands as the wind pressure due to Leopold's jump caused dust particles to blow into his eyes.

"Well… there he goes… Haaaa…" Sebastian said with a sigh before turning to the other rankers present and giving them orders, his vibe changing in an instant.

"You all have heard the gist of the story so get to it. Secure the perimeter and no matter what happens, ensure that Corneo doesn't escape. That slimy slippery bastard has evaded us for far too long"

"Yes sir!" the rankers replied as they all vanished while darting in different directions.

Ivar realizing that help had now arrived immediately bolted back towards the warehouse.

'In any case, this boy looks familiar' Sebastian mumbled to himself while staring at Ivar's back before looking to the sky and seeing the green streak of hue left behind by his partner as he hurtled through the sky.

***

Leopold at max height from his jump raised his mana sensitivity to its limit and scanned the area around him in a huge radius, almost as if he had a third eye made up of just colors.

He then saw two people in the distance, a young green figure who was on all fours on the ground and a large red figure who was advancing step by step towards the latter.

Immediately he realized what was about to happen, he chanted a spell.

"[Gravity Series: Grav Boost]"

As soon as those words left his mouth, the air around him distorted and a green hue covered him and propelled him at a phenomenal speed, his eyes locked onto the red figure as he hurtled through to the air towards him in an instant while holding the red figure's head and landing on him with a loud bang.

-BAM!!!

"Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing to my son!!!"

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

Lepold bashed the burly man's head several times into the concrete floor, which caused a small hole to form beneath his head and his face to be crushed and distorted due to Leopold's attack, effectively making him pass out.

"Right on time Dad" Aiden said to him while smiling weakly as he passed out, the adrenaline finally leaving his body as he slumped to the ground.

'The audacity of this punk!' Leopold thought to himself as he averted his gaze from Aiden and took a good look at his surroundings.

The scene around him was full of destruction and carnage as the concrete floor had been smashed in many different places with one leaving a huge crater behind, the dilapidated walls destroyed in so many places, a water tank completely blown to bits and the same could be said for the few vehicles around.

However, the most gruesome scene was the one of several bodies lying in a single spot, completely burnt to a crisp and their bodies charred from what seemed to be an explosion.

He used his mana sensitivity and realized all of them were still alive but they were barely hanging on, with one foot already at death's door.

As he did that, he noticed that a figure with a light green color was carrying what seemed to be another figure with an orange color in his arms.

He watched as Flynn walked out of the warehouse while carrying an orange-haired girl in his arms. He looked completely battered with sharp cut marks all over his body.

His younger son then gave him a very weak smile upon seeing him.

He then moved towards the large doors of the warehouse and sat down while resting his back on it, still with Ivelia in his arms as he said a few words to him before also passing out.

"We'll leave the rest to you dad…"

"Haaaaa…" Leopold sighed again as he alternated his gaze between his two sons but after a while, a slight smile could be seen on his face as he muttered under his breath.

"You both did good"

The other rankers also began to arrive and so did Sebastian and Ivar.

Ivar was panting heavily considering he ran all the way there but his eyes immediately got teary when he saw his sister in Flynn's arms.

Ivar ran towards his sister with tears dropping from his eyes and he began to sob while kneeling close to her.

The rankers on the other hand started to administer low-grade healing potions to the injured guild members while also cleaning up and taking care of the aftermath of the battle caused by the three teenagers.

…

…

…

…

…

...

Ivelia fluttered her eyes open.

However, she still blinked a few times before her bleariness cleared off and her vision completely came to her.

She then struggled to sit up on the bed she was on but all she could manage was slightly propping her back up on the pillow as she began to take in her surroundings.

'This isn't a hospital' she said to herself while staring at the ornate white ceilings and the slightly mid-sized bed she was on.

She then looked around the room once more to see Aiden sleeping on a chair with his arms folded across his chest a few inches away from her bed.

'I guess I really was saved' Ivelia thought to herself, her gaze travelling over to her right side as she did so.

There, she saw Flynn sleeping soundly with both of his arms crossed just below his head which he used as a cushion on which he then placed both of them on the bed she was lying on.

She stared at him for a few minutes as she watched his beautiful hair fall over his face.

She'd always being fascinated by how ethereal his hair looked and she'd been itching to touch it for the past few months in which she had known him.

As she reached for his head with her hands, her hands landed on it and she began to lightly stroke his hair.

'As I thought, his hair's really as amazing to touch as it is to look at' she inwardly said to herself.

After a few minutes of continuously stroking his hair, her hands stopped moving but she still placed it on his head as she finally spoke.

"Thank you for saving me. Both of you" a slight smile present on her face as she did so.

Even though she had succumbed to sleep, she still caught glimpses of Flynn wrapping a cloth around her as he carried her out of the cold room.

During her treatment too, she had faintly heard that three male teenagers had saved her and taken down a small dark guild.

Those teenagers could've been no one else asides Flynn, Aiden and Ivar considering those were the only male teenagers she knew in her entire life.

As she kept on having these thoughts, the door to the ornately and beautifully designed room opened as Ivar walked in with a tray of food on his hands.

When he raised his gaze up after closing the door with his foot, he saw that his twin sister was already awake and was looking at him with familial affection in her eyes and a lovely smile on her lips.

Ivar kept staring at his sister for a few seconds whilst also returning the smile after which he spoke a single word.

"Hey"

Ivelia also responded in kind as she slightly nodded her head.

"Hey"
