Chapter 60: Kermu's Guess
Yale had difficulties to believe Serka's words.
The academy obtained for the first time a chance to go to a Special Realm, and Yale met the qualifications to go.
Then after entering the realm, Yale joined a group of nobles in which one of the members was his cousin who discovered his mother identity.
That didn't feel natural. Yale couldn't believe that he managed to discover that information so casually or that he managed to meet his cousin that easily.
However, there was undeniable that he and Ange were able to use Time Healing, and that meant that they have the Zhan Clan's bloodline.
Yale had seen how the other nobles reacted when Serka said that he used Time Healing. Thus, Yale believed that at least the part of Time Healing being a spell from the Zhan Clan was true.
As for really being Serka's cousin, at the moment, Yale only had her word, so he wasn't sure, but he wouldn't say it in a loud voice.
After all, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with anyone in the group, so even if he couldn't confirm it, Yale would act as if he believed it.
"Yale, I understand that what I said may be difficult to believe. If you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, but you need to hear at least one thing."
Serka turned serious again. She wasn't joking.
"You shouldn't let anyone else see your Time Healing, nor reveal your identity as a member of the Zhan Clan until I tell you. Otherwise, you may die."
Kermu and Nurvey, who were close to Serka, had already deduced why she said that because they knew certain things about the Zhan Clan's internal affairs.
"As I said, a part of the clan is displeased with your mother's actions years ago. If they discover your identity, they may try to punish you instead of her. That is something that the clan won't approve, but if an elder killed you, the others wouldn't start a conflict due to a corpse. At most, the killers would need to offer apologies."
Yale was starting to feel that his blood relation with the Zhan Clan was beginning to be a pain.
"After leaving the realm, I will talk with my mother. Your identity should be revealed first for the ones who supported your mother. That way, it would be difficult for others to touch you."
Serka knew how delicate Yale's position in the clan was due to his mother's identity.
Yale was still very weak. If his identity were revealed to other factions in the clan, it would be troublesome. That was one of the main reasons she had told Yale the truth about his identity directly after discovering it. It would be difficult to say to him why he should be careful without explaining anything.
Furthermore, she wanted her friends in the group to know it. Yale was her cousin, so she didn't want her friends to treat him like a mere commoner, although their group didn't discriminate powerful commoners, and all of them already had an excellent impression of Yale, to her that was a matter of her cousin's honor.
Their group wasn't randomly formed, three of them were friends since many years ago, and Hyrk was recruited by Kermu because although he was an elitist, his moral character was quite good. He disliked abusing of his status despite not liking commoners.
The noble clans were able to ensure that few members of the younger generation were teleported together to the same place in the Special Realm, although they couldn't specify where.
Kermu's group was the tiniest of all, with only four members because Kermu was very picky with his teammates.
He preferred to look for a talented commoner or a random noble without group than joining hands with some nobles that he disliked.
At most, if he didn't find anyone of his liking, they would go with only four members even if that was dangerous.
Thus, Serka was sure that no one in the group would make the things difficult to Yale even if his identity was revealed to them.
"Then, I will be careful, thank you for the advice."
Yale didn't know very much about the noble clans, but he would be more careful after Serka's advice.
Although the other members of the group had difficulties to believe such a coincidence, they knew Serka's personality, and she wasn't a liar. In the whole group, she was the last person they would expect to lie, so they believed her.
Kermu supported his fiancée's words on the outside, but inside he was pondering how could be such coincidence.
"Could it be that Yale was fated to meet with the Zhan Clan, or he had some incredible luck to join his cousin's group casually?"
Kermu was unable to stop thinking about that, he was smart but also very curious.
He remembered that Yale had said that eight members of his academy entered the Special Realm and that Yale's city was very far, it wasn't among the cities that would usually get spots to introduce a Special Realm due to the distance.
"By the way, Yale. How did you come to the Imperial City? I don't know where that Nacesai City of yours is, but it isn't near the Imperial City."
Serka also seemed interested in learning about it because Yale's sister was still in the backwater city, and she was also her cousin.
"We used a teleportation portal in the academy."
Yale's reply was logical, but it was strange to such an unknown city to have a teleportation portal to the Imperial City.
"Your academy had used it before?"
Yale didn't know why Kermu also started to ask questions, but those things weren't related to him, so he didn't worry too much.
"As far as I know, no. Even the chairman has never come to the Imperial City. My master, who is the chairman's friend, has been the one who guided us because he had come here when he was young, but at that time, the academy didn't even exist."
Kermu was surprised that Yale's luck was that good, even his master was the one in duty to guide his group instead of someone from his academy.
Furthermore, the teleportation portal clearly didn't exist before because someone would have used it, and there was no way the noble clans hadn't noticed that city's existence until that moment if people of that city used the portal.
Kermu had a high status in the Kurk Clan due to the space element skill he had used before.
That skill wasn't something he could control or use freely as it surpassed his level, but being able to use it sometimes was enough to turn him into a very valued member of the clan. He even had access to some privileged information.
However, he never heard about the Nacesai Academy. That city hadn't had any relation with the Imperial City in the past based on his clan's information.
At that moment, he remembered a strange thing his grandfather mentioned about the gathering to discuss the matters of the Special Realm they were at that moment.
Two elders from each noble clan gathered together to decide the spots for the Special Realm, that was a custom, and only regular elders went to it, the true experts from the clans didn't bother with such things.
Although those were ordinary elders in the noble clans, no one of them was weaker than Swordmad.
However, someone else appeared when the elders were discussing about the spots to the commoners.
That person was only an incarnation, but the power it showed was enough to intimidate all the elders, or at least that was what his grandfather had said to him.
The incarnation asked for eight free spots to give to some commoners, the request was a weird one, but given the incarnation's power and that they didn't mind about those eight spots they accepted.
All the clans and even the imperial family had guessed that the incarnation's identity was an expert from one of the clans or the imperial family, but no one managed to recognize it. Even if the incarnation didn't have a noble status, by its strength, it had qualifications to ask for some spots.
Eight was the same number of spots Yale had said his academy got.
Kermu's eyes lightened as he saw the relation and started to guess the reason for that coincidence, which didn't seem to be a coincidence after all.
The expert behind that incarnation should have been the one to give the spots to Yale's academy and created the teleportation portal.
Moreover, for someone with that level of power, ensuring that Yale ended in the same place as Serka wouldn't be difficult.
If that person also knew the personality of the members of their group and Yale's abilities, it wasn't difficult to predict that Yale would join them, and at any moment, his identity would be revealed when Yale used some time-related ability.
The difficult to believe situation turned out to be very easy to explain with that incarnation's request of the eight spots.
However, as that guess was based on confidential information, Kermu didn't say anything to the others.
