Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Rest.

As soon as Soma finished his words the room atmosphere turned solemn as a heavy air began to cover the entire room. The source of that was because the three people who heard what Soma asked for, their eyes squinted as their brows were knitted, clearly displeased because of Soma's request.

The two couples leaned their body forward and opened their mouths.

"Soma, I ought you to think of something else. It's too soon for you".

"He is right, Soma, it is too soon for you. Or are you the kind of person who always acts recklessly like that? No, I object to this!".

The president sat there motionless and he leaned his body forward and opened his mouth.

"Why do you want that? Like the other two said, it is too soon for you. If you are patient enough, you will get it at the time you enter the academy if you are planning to go there. So what makes you want the entry permit so bad?".

Soma closed his mouth as his mind began to race trying to find a good answer to resolve the matter before him. Indeed he could get the temporary entry permit as soon as he entered the academy. But that was assuming that he would go there.

However, he still had an urgent matter at hand that he needed to resolve, fast. After thinking it through, Soma decides to tell everyone here the truth that he is still hiding something.

"Well, I didn't have a choice to begin with. If I don't do this I will just be left behind with the other peers at my age. Also there are also my personal matters…".

"What do you mean by that?".

The president and the two couples raised their eyebrows after hearing Soma's remarks. Soma took a deep breath and exhaled it in one go trying to push away his nervousness.

Soma waved his hand and opened his mouth. "Status Open". While also in thought to disclose about the information about his race. Then a translucent window began to appear in front of their eyes. At first, they opened their eyes seeing the status that floated before their eyes, but as they began to skim through the status. The more they saw it the more their eyes began to turn grim.

"Martial Saint Inheritor".

""Curses"".

The responses he heard were quite different from them. Mr. Ito opened his eyes wide and his lower jaw dropped down seeing the status before his eyes. As for the couple's eyes, they were stopped at a certain column that shows a cursed word plastered in Soma's status window.

Soma waved his hand back and the translucent window began to vanish leaving the room in a heavy atmosphere.

"Soma, that was".

"Soma, you are being cursed?".

"My God, I can't stand this. ..Soma you!".

Shocked Mr. Ito, flabbergasted Hiroshi, and a Sad Hisako that slightly held a bit of anger in it. Turned their attention toward the boy who sat alone on the sofa calmly.

Soma ignored all of their questions looked directly at Mr. Ito's eyes and opened his mouth.

"Do you understand why I need the entry permit right now?".

"..Do you perhaps want to get stronger, or maybe find a way to cure your curses or what?".

Mr. Ito is losing his composure after witnessing a rare class that appeared in one in a millennium. His mind was in disarray and he couldn't even make a proper conversation as the question he just asked was nothing but a trivial matter.

Want to get stronger? Of course, he wanted it, because it was his resolve to get stronger to survive in this unknown world and to save her. The curse? He wanted to annihilate it quickly if possible. But there is one thing that overshadowed all of that matter in hands.

That was because he was the inheritor of the strongest being on the planet Earth, and just how excited he was to see his hard work, showing a rapid development in just a night.

Soma didn't want to reveal more than this, so he bowed his body ninety degrees before opening his mouth and using a pleading tone.

"Please, This is for my survival and for my goal".

The three of them sealed their mouths after seeing Soma and heard his words. Their worry began to run away as they couldn't utter a single word as if it was being struck in their throat.

Mr. Ito, as the one who possesses the most experience in life, shook his head and composed himself, spoke.

".Fine, I will make it special for you".

"President Ito".

"Mr. President".

Hiroshi and Hisako were woken up from their stupor and began to turn their gaze at Mr. Ito but were stopped by the gesture of raising a hand from Mr. Ito.

"I already saw the resolve within the child's eyes. But I was surprised".

Soma, whose wish finally got through, raised his body and he looked at Mr. Ito.

"What is it?".

"No. Seeing your condition. I thought you would ask to find someone who had a high-level mastery of Light magic to dispel the curse within you. You choose to resolve it on your own".

"Yes, I plan to do that from the start".

"But Soma please think this again..".

"Miss Hisako, I think it was enough with your worry, Soma already decided his answer. There is nothing for us to intervene in his choice".

"But Mr. President".

"President Ito was right, Hisako, Soma already decided his choice, there is no room for us to intervene. Or do you want to stand in his way to prevent him from reaching his goal".

"..".

"It's okay Miss Hisako. I will be fine".

Hisako, who seemed not having any allies, sat back in her seat looking down in a solemn mood. Mr. Ito and Hiroshi exhaled simultaneously as they began to share their gaze and smiled wryly understanding each other.

The atmosphere began to turn sour because of the one-person mood. The phone ringtone chimes softly accompanied by the vibration from Mr. Ito's left chest pocket. Its melodic tone began echoing in the quiet room, as it gradually became louder as it danced through the air filling the entire space with its lively melody.

"Oh sorry".

Mr. Ito tucked his right hand toward his left chest to grab his now vibrating phone. He stood from his seat and began to step away from the three. He began to swipe away the phone display before closing it on his right ear.

"..Yeah, It's me".

The three could only watch Mr. Ito finish his business except for the one who still cast her gaze downward.

"Yeah Okay, I will go right away, Have a nice day".

Mr. Ito closed the call before putting his phone back in his left chest pocket and approached Soma and the others.

"I am sorry everyone, it seems we must close our discussion for this time".

"Understood Presiden Ito. I thank you for your time and hospitality".

"Thank you".

Hiroshi and the others stood on their seats and bowed their heads, Mr. Ito raised his hand and opened his mouth.

"Soma I will process the entry permit soon. So let's change our contact information for now".

"Yes, I am truly sorry but could you write it on paper please. My phone battery is running out.".

"No problem, wait for a bit".

Mr. Ito began to approach his desk and ripped a piece of paper before moving his hand and scratching the paper.

"Here, make sure you contact me when your phone is lit".

"Understood".

Soma carefully put the folded piece of paper in his pocket. Now he currently has two new contacts that still haven't registered on his phone.

"Then everyone I hope you have a nice day, for today".

"Took you guys long enough, just to talk".

Inside the busy lobby, an irritated voice reverberated and it pierced the ears of the parents.

"We are sorry, Hina. Let's go home".

"Fine, what happened to Mom anyway?".

Since the event that transpired earlier. Hisako has been rather quiet this whole time. She didn't utter a single word even since the three left the President Ito office.

"Nothing, let's go home for now. Soma you too".

Soma wanted to open his refusal at first, but the sharp piercing eyes that shot its beam at him shut his mouth completely. He just followed Hiroshi's step in behind as to not want to disturb their family image.

As they went outside there was the same limousine that delivered them here was parked outside, and once the Hiroshi co approached it. The driver's door was opened and the same gentleman in their late forties showed up and welcomed their arrival.

"Welcome, I have been expecting you".

"Yes, thank you, what brought you here?". Hiroshi.

"The president entrusted me to deliver his guest home safely".

"Oh, I see. Thank you for that".

"No need. Please, Mr. Hiroshi".

"Okay, I will take up on your offer. Let's go, everyone".

As the butler opened the passenger door, Hiroshi and the other entered the limousine and they sat on their respective seats this time Hiroshi was sitting side by side with Soma while Hisako was sitting with her daughter.

After making sure that all of them are ready. The driver closed the door then went and opened the driver door entering inside. Closed the door and started the engine.

Soma didn't feel any tremors when the engine was started. It was quiet and he didn't even hear the sound of the engine running.

As the limousine began to drive away leaving the building. Soma leaned his back toward the soft seat as his mind began to wander. "What should I do after I get the permit? Should I just go straight to enter the gate to level up? Or maybe..". As he began to form a plan in his mind.

His eyelids turned heavy, then opened his mouth and yawned. "..That talk took a toll on me. I should rest for a bit". Soma closed his eyes and soon his thoughts were cut off from the real world. Travel into the endless darkness.

Hiroshi, who noticed Soma Sleeping next to him, smiled wryly. Then he turned his gaze to his quiet wife who was also looking at Soma's figure.

"You okay?".

"...I'm fine".

"..Good".

The two couples have a rather awkward conversation on their side.

Hina's sharp eyes glinted as she shot a glare at the sleeping Soma. Her phone vibrated, then she took it from her pocket and saw the message from LAIN.

{..So who was the guy you wanted me to investigate?}.

She opened her phone lock and tapped the camera icon on the display before taking Soma's sleeping picture, before sending it to the other person.

{This guy!}.

{Hee, he is rather cute though}.

{Big sister, please don't joke around}.

{I am not joking though. Okay, I will email the details later. See you}

{See you}

Hina pressed the power button on the phone to turn it off, before putting it back in her pocket. Then She took one glance at Soma. "I will reveal you're true intention soon".
