The three children were standing there, waiting for Yun to come.
"Do you think it’ll take a long time for Yun to come?" Dean asked. He guessed that Yun had to talk with her father for a long time to get permission. After all, her father was a bit protective of his daughter.
"She’ll definitely get the permission." Aya chuckled. "She knows how to get it."
The other two nodded.
"What do you think Leon wants to say?"
"Perhaps just some late training before we start our first mission?" Dean replied without certainty. He was not entirely sure what Leon wanted them to do by asking them to come here today. All he could do was to try guessing a bit.
"... I don’t think he’ll ask for training."
"That’s just a guess!"
"Sorry everyone, I took a bit more time." Yun came at this time, jogging in their direction. Her clothes were a bit messy since she ran all the way. She could guess that she must be the last because it took her a long time to convince her father that she would be fine.
The city should be pretty safe.
"It’s fine. Let’s go."
The four of them walked into the Black Family Residence’s territory. The moment they entered, Aya could sense several people were paying attention in their direction. When they were just outside the Black Family Residence’s territory, there were barely anyone paying attention to them.
After all, some of the Black Family’s members had teammates who were from other families and it was normal to see them outside their family’s residence from time to time.
But these children entered.
It had become different.
Aya’s eyes flickered slightly.
She knew very well that the Black Family was not really good at communicating with others. Due to the nature of their magic, they were more used to using covert methods, which might make their temperament also a bit colder.
People like Silas and Leon, who were more outspoken, were a bit rarer.
Well, Leon might have been influenced by Evan because the two of them kept on challenging each other from the first year until they finally graduated.
Even now, their competition has never ended.
And the appearance of those ghosts, which was somewhat similar to the magic of the Black Family, made many people become even more wary of the Black Family.
They were afraid that it was truly from the Black Family.
Though, it has been explained countless times that the Black Family had nothing to do with these ghosts and they were also working hard to eliminate the ghosts. But it seemed that the missions they took were put into secret.
There was also one more thing.
The people from the Black Family also somewhat like war more than the other families. They had provoked a lot of conflicts in the past before these cities were formed in order to protect their interest against the other cities nearby. And with their magic being able to scout ahead without being detected, their enemies often suffered a lot of losses.
Only the White Family fared somewhat better due to their magic inheritance.
Moreover, the Fourth Head of the Wansu City was also wary of the Black Family and didn’t usually give them many chances to prove their strength to others in Wansu City.
This made the situation in the Black Family a bit tense.
But thankfully, it would not make any conflicts arise.
The matter of the ghosts had made the Fourth Head of the Wansu City so busy that he basically had no time to care about the Black Family itself. There were other things that he had to pay attention to, especially because these ghosts targeted him for some reasons.
’So, who’s watching?’
Aya silently used her perception to detect the people who were nearby and knew that most of them were from the Black Family.
The Black Family had a strong sense of territory.
This might be another reason why they still didn’t fully integrate with other people in the city.
It was not Aya’s business, though.
’Hmm? This familiar mana signature...’ Aya’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She could sense two familiar mana signatures because these people were famous and also powerful. The fourth head and also the Black Family Patriarch.
They didn’t seem to be so pleased to see an outsider entering Black Family’s territory.
The Black Family is indeed strong.
But if they were to compare with every single city in this area and families, it was impossible for them to escape unscathed. Unless they could produce a rank 7 magic warrior and this magic warrior had to be able to successfully advance without being interrupted by others.
But it was not so easy.
Many people didn’t want this fragile balance to be destroyed.
"This is Teacher Silas’s house," Evan said as he pointed in one direction. "Leon’s house is not far from his."
Dean and Yun nodded their heads.
They had no interest in paying a visit to Silas, though.
Unlike the other three who had interacted with Silas a few times in the past, the two of them didn’t have much chance to interact with Silas. They had only seen him a few times before they were assigned to be a team under Silas.
Before long, they reached Leon’s residence.
"It’s quite big." Yun nodded and looked around curiously. Her own residence was far from this size and this made Yun somewhat curious.
Would they get lost in such a big residence?
"Indeed." Evan nodded but didn’t really feel anything. His and Aya’s residence was also very big because they were the patriarch’s children and nephew. So seeing this residence, he only felt that it was a bit big but there were no other feelings.
"Um." Dean also nodded.
In the past, his residence was also pretty big.
Later on, his father sold many residences there and they moved to a smaller residence. It was not as big as the previous house, but it was comfortable enough.
For Dean, it was enough.
