THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

After Separating with Mr Alonso and his family, the three of them found themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere without a means of returning to their villas.

Glen shamelessly proposed contacting Miss Elora but was stopped by Ralph, they should not bother their former instructor just because she was being unexpectedly nice to them.

In the end, they had taken a taxi to the nearest teleportation vault that would take them to the western sector. After reaching the western, they took another taxi to their place.

The taxi cars that worked in the western sector were far more luxurious than the ones in the southern sector, their charges were just as equally expensive.

They arrived in front of their villas and separated, each of them going to check out their new homes after the setup.

Click!

The front door opened and Ivan stepped in. Unlike Ralph and Glen who had hired permanent workers, the workers Ivan had gotten had left after completing their jobs.

The place has been cleaned up nicely, and a refreshing scent drifted in the air; the workers really knew how to do their jobs.

Using a few hours to go take a look in every room, Ivan returned to the training room.

The training room inside the villa was as big as the one back at the tower.

Inside the training room was a small platform that could be used for sparring, a sleeping pod was placed on another side.

Ivan approached the sleeping pod and entered, he immediately found himself in a dark space after entering the sleeping pod.

A list of options appeared in front of him.

Fist training

Weapon training.

Combat mode.

These three options appeared in front of Ivan and Ivan immediately tapped on the second one, weapon training.

The list disappeared and another list appeared in front of Ivan. This list was a large board with the image of various weapons on it, weapons that Ivan didn't even know existed.

Ivan randomly tapped on one of the images and a scythe with a long metal handle appeared in his hand, after which another interface appeared in front of him.

Scythe weapon training: select level.

Beginner

Novice

Master

Expert

Ivan tapped on the first one since he had never since he had never used a scythe before, it wasn't amongst the list of weapons he trained with back in the tower.

The interface vanished after Ivan made his choice, and an illusionary silhouette appeared in the dark space; it was holding an illusionary scythe as well.

Without saying anything, the silhouette began to wave the scythe it was holding in divergent patterns that managed to link with each other in ways that Ivan could not understand.

He immediately understood what was going on, the silhouette was showing him how to use this weapon!

Ivan immediately began to follow the movements of the silhouette and began to wave his scythe as well while copying its footwork, time flew by as they continued training.

...

The gentle rays of sunlight pierced through the windows and bathed the inside of the villa, morning had arrived.

Ivan had spent the entire night inside the training room yesterday and he only came out after receiving a notification from the pod system that it was morning.

Surprisingly, Ivan didn't feel fatigued or sleepy; it was as if he had slept during the night; he felt very refreshed.

Walking out of the training room, Ivan went to one of the bathrooms in the Villa to clean up and change into a new set of clothes.

Since the entire place was empty and no one side Ivan lived there, the place was very quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.

Ivan went to the kitchen and got something from the fridge to fill his stomach with before going out, he met Ralph and Glen at the front of his gate; the two were also dressed up and ready to go out.

The three of them arrived at the teleportation vault a few minutes later before taking a taxi that took them straight to a station where they would get a light train back to the outskirt.

The light train took three minutes to cross the thousands of kilometers distance that separated San Pluto and the outskirt they were from and stopped at the familiar old train station.

Stepping out of the light train, the three could not help but stare in a daze at the familiar sight of the outskirt. The old buildings and destroyed roads were still the same as when they left, nothing changed.

They had left as three young adults who had never seen the world six months ago but were returning as changed men. They were now Nexulytes, people who stood at the top of the world, and ordinary people could only look up to them.

"Sniff, I feel like crying. We're really back" Glen choked out while rubbing his eyes. Ralph only stared with a passive look in his eyes while Ivan had an expressionless face as the images of a few people formed in his mind.

"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up later," Ivan said to the two.

Ralph immediately turned to look at him, his eyes narrowing.

"Where are you going?" He questioned.

Ivan only replied that he had something to take care of before running off, not giving the two a chance to ask any more questions.

Ralph and Glen watched Ivan disappear into the distance, they exchanged glances before turning away; they had things to take care of as well.

Their families!

The eyes of the two brightened as they left the train station.

The two immediately attracted a lot of gazes when they started to see other people; many stared at them in shock, while some looked with pity while shaking their heads.

This confused the two of them, why the pity?

But they soon came to realize why after reaching Glen's house, the sight that they met with was…devastating.

The whole place was a mess as if a bomb had been dropped on it, almost every single building within a two hundred meters radius was completely destructive; Glen's house as well was also destroyed.

"Big brother!" The voice of a little girl suddenly came from the side of the collapsed buildings as a small figure dashed out and ran toward Glen.

Glen immediately recognized her, it was his little sister. He went down on one knee with his arms spread open to catch her.

"Big brother, you came back!" The little girl cried out in Glen's embrace.

Looking at the miserable state of his little sister was worse than when he left; Glen felt a sharp pain in his heart. He hugged her tightly and softly told her not to cry.

While comforting his little sister, Glen's eyes fell on another figure from where his little sister had come from; his face immediately collapsed, and his eyes reddened; the always cheerful Glen looked like someone who had lost everything at this point.

"M-mom?" Glen called out in disbelief.

The person he was seeing looked so much like his mother but she looked so different at the same time. She had huge eye bags, tattered clothes, messy hair, and was very skinny; Glen almost thought she was a ghost.

Carrying his little sister, Glen moved over to his mother and hugged her as well.

"What happened?" Glen's voice was almost inaudible and he almost choked with tears.

Ralph stood at the side quietly, but an overwhelmed expression could be seen on his face; the state of Glen's family was too unexpected.

Glen's mother slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"You father…"

Glen's and Ralph's eyes widened in shock as they listened to her.
