章 625: Returning - 625
As expected, after ten days, Skymender saw the familiar fields. He once again felt at home.
Before long, he arrived at his house. Not long after his carriage pulled into the gates, a bunch of people came outside.
Skymender stepped out of the carriage and was greeted by most of his family, or whatever was still living here.
An old lady specifically stood out. "How was Skyless and her kids doing?"
This was Skymender's grandaunt, Aunt Skyless's mother.
"She and her children were doing well. She helped me a lot." Skymender said.
His grandaunt nodded. "Good. Good."
His sister, Skytear, also greeted him. She was now 12 years old and growing steadily.
"Welcome back, brother. How was Eldest Sister?"
Skymender responded. "She is doing good, even better than we could have imagined."
Next, his brother, Skymerge, spoke.
"How was your reading?" He asked seriously.
"Very good." Skymender chuckled.
Skytore was also there, though it was his last day. He was going to the royal capital to enter the royal school.
"I heard that you didn't participate in the contest of strength at the noble gathering. I'm disappointed."
Skymender laughed and shook his hand.
Finally, his sister, the fourth child of the Sky Barony, greeted him. "How expensive were things at the Imperial Capital."
This was the 2nd daughter of the Sky Barony, a girl obsessed with makeup and expensive clothing. However, there was no doubt that she was the best looking in their family.
Her name was Skyhue.
"More expensive than here, but there were also more things to buy." Skymender said.
Skyhue spoke again. "Did you perhaps bring any gifts?"
Skymender smiled. Of course he had.
He got some servants to bring out a few boxes.
One was given to each person.
Skytear got a fancy blanket that was so soft it was hard not to fall asleep with it.
Skymerge got a book, one with a blank cover on the outside. Though hard to get in the Imperial Capital, it was not impossible.
Skymerge, understanding, nodded.
Skytore received a dumbbell with a fancy design. It had customizable plates and was made out of a denser metal than most.
He smiled and began to lift it immediately.
Skyhue opened her gift and was excited to see fancy clothes and makeup. She smiled with glee.
Skymender received appreciation from everyone, but this was not all. His mother and father, who had been silently waiting, also got gifts. He greeted them.
"Hello Father. Hello Mother."
Both his mother and father smiled, clearly aware of his actions in the Imperial Capital.
They opened their gifts. In his mothers was a small drawing of Skybelle and him. In his fathers was a mug. This mug could hold hot drinks inside of it. On the side, the words "Number One Dad" were written on it.
They both smiled, his mother with appreciation, and his dad with amusement
"Alright, welcome home. Let's go inside." His Father said. Skymender nodded and entered the house.
From then on, everything fell back into normalcy.
Skymender quickly readjusted, and before he knew it, school was starting yet again.
The night before school started, Melly returned. She was greeted with excitement as well, for she had essentially become a part of the family.
The next morning, Melly and Skymender set out to the school together.
Although they didn't live in the city where the school was present, as the nobles of this land, they were naturally rather close.
It was a ten minute ride on their carriage to arrive at the school gates.
Skymender sighed and stepped out, followed by Melly. They talked, but none of it was really important. Although they were to be married upon reaching 18, it felt more like they were friends than anything else.
They had most of the same classes since the majority were standard classes, but there were a few that could be chosen before the year started that they did not share. These classes reflected interests.
Skymender attended a few science classes, the most interesting thing he had been able to find on the list. Meanwhile, Melly took classes such as etiquette, despite being trained from a young age, and fashion.
The first day of school passed, but Skymender did not leave. On the first day, he had registered to create a club. Naturally, as the only noble family in this area, the Sky Barony had absolute say.
There was not even the slightest chance of it being rejected. The only person in this club was Melly, though it was open to everyone at the top of the school's intelligence.
Naturally, Skymender had no interest in nonsense such as clubs. The club was just an excuse to use the school's lab after hours. Although it wasn't even slightly as advanced as the Imperial Research Institute, it was the best around.
Before school started, he had even paid a bit of his parents money to upgrade it. It still didn't come close to the Imperial Research Institute, but it was acceptable.
He had brought his cauldron for this sole purpose. Taking out a notebook, writing utensils, and a bunch of materials, he got to work. Melly was only here to watch, so she sat off to the side.
Skymender began to mix the blood of two animals from a dangerous region known as the poisonous swamp. The swamp itself was not poisonous, though it used to be mistaken as such due to the fact that walking through it caused itching, but there were many poisonous animals there and plenty had died to explore it.
Luckily, Skymender had been able to get ahold of the blood and corpses of some of the creatures.
Most of the creatures in the poisonous swamp were too small to collect their blood, so he would just use their corpses.
Scuh animals included variants of mosquitos, butterflies, and flys.
He began to note down everything and slowly put it all into the cauldron.
This included the corpse of a poison mosquito species, a corpse of a poison butterfly species, and the blood of a poisonous frog.
It all fell into the cauldron as a fire burned under it. As the heat made it mix and bubble, a mist began to be released.
