Chapter 168: 168
"Thank you for beign so hospitable . " We all thanked Jun for the tour .
"No problems, Atlantis are good friends . " He smiled .
"Will we be seeing you for dinner?" We asked him .
"Sadly . . I'll need to stay on board, just in case something happens to Captain Ruri . " He answered .
"Really? . . But nothing is going to happen . " We tried to explain to him .
"We know . . But its protocol . " He nodded .
"So of the other two schools . Which ones do you have most problems with?" I questioned curiously as we began making our way back to the mess hall .
"They both are as bad as each other . . Their students in particular are pretty strong in their own way . . And it doesn't help that they are both located beside us . " He answered .
"I thought they'd be too frightened of your titans . . Even I'm scared of them . " I replied .
"They know we have a code, plus we can't be seen open inly using our fleet on the other institutes or we'd face the judgment of Xoria . " He answered .
"It's hard to imagine Aspa being afraid of anything having what . . Six Titan Class ships?" I replied .
"You don't know the strength of Xoria?" He questioned .
"Not at all . . " I explained to him .
"Well . . Xoria recruits all if not nearly all the S-Ranked students that graduate and decide not to stay in their respective institutes . Not only that their General is the most feared induvial . " He answered .
"Wait someone stronger then Paul?" I questioned in shock as everyone only ever talks about Paul .
"By far . . . . their Lord Commander, God Touched Gilgamesh . . A Demi-God and the Chosen Champion of over ten Gods . . . . then next in line you have Lieutenant Commander Artura Pendragon the daughter of the Legendary King Arthur and owner of two legendary swords Excaliber the legendary sword King Arthur used to cleanse Britain of Dragon and Fang of Bahamut . They also have an unknown unseen assassin in their ranks who without mercy will take out any target he or she's been given . " Officer Jun explained to me .
"Wait why Scarlet is and Paul so famous then?" I questioned .
"It's because they do more in the public eye . Gilgamesh and Xoria hasn't really done much outside Xoria . . but they still want the public to see that we are all in a united front" Jun answered .
"So Gilgamesh is a Demi God . . . meaning he's half human half God?" I questioned wondering if it had the same meaning here .
"Yes His father was human and his mother is a Godess apparently . " Jun answered .
"And a Chosen champion of several Gods . . . . " I asked looking at Daisy .
"I dunno . " Daisy shrugged "I've never heard of him and Serra hasn't said anything about him either . " She replied to me .
"Same here, I've never heard of him either . " Jay agreed .
"Odd we haven't read anything on him as well . " Helena and Grace agreed .
"Me too . . I've only heard of him through Captain Ruri . . And I've only seen him the few times spectating the Tournament . " Jun agreed .
"And Artura was it? . . . Daughter of King Arthur?" I questioned extremely curious of the folk tale .
"Yes the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Britain if it still stood . " Jun answered .
"Wait what happened to it!" I asked in shock since I live in London back at home .
"It was obliterated in the oblivion war . . Literally vaporised in an instant, the only survivor was a young princess Artura along with her armour an unknown sword at the time now called Fang of bahamut and Excaliber . No one knows how on earth she survived specially somehow landing on our shores . " Jun replied .
"Wow . . " I listened in awe wondering what other similarities this world has to ours .
"So any of you lot like to see some friendly sparring?" Jun asked us with a cheeky smile .
"OHHH me me!!" Daisy and grace answered in excitement .
"Ohh finally got something the quiet one might enjoy . " Jun smiled to Daisy .
"You look too refined to enjoy fights . " I said to him a little surprised .
He laughed a little hearing my question, "I don't know why myself . . It's like a guilty pleasure and a ways to get rid of some unwanted chores . " He answered opening the door to the mess hall again .
"Chores?" Helen questioned laughing a little .
"Ahh yeah . . Instead of betting gold . . We bet on deck chores and jobs . Sadly I've amassed a few from some bad bets" He sighed causing us all to laugh .
"That bad huh?" I questioned .
"Pretty bad . . . I've accrued over a months of chores . " He laughed .
"Sounds like there's cheating going on . " Grace laughed .
"Yeah I just take too much risk, but it's not all bad . . on the plus side I do get to spend time with crewmen I normally wouldn't have . " He smiled, "Right it should be behind this door . " He said opening a large bulk door, the moment the door opened slightly the sound of roars and screams flooded out the opening .
"Wow this is more popular than I thought, I always thought crewmen of a sky fleet would be more . . Refined . " Jay said noticing the large room filled with people and a bar .
"Well this is what I expected to be honest . " I shouted as the room literally resembled those sort of underground fight rings I would see in TV or Films .
We walked to a slightly filled table, "Sorry guys we're gonna need this table . . VIP guests . " Officer Jun requested the group .
"Okay . . Officer Jun . " They saluted and left the table for us .
"I'll get drinks . " He offered leaving us at the table .
"Ohh let's go see the action!" Daisy squealed in excitement pulling grace into the crowd .
"So guys are we visiting Jay's home town tomorrow?" I asked remembering our plans .
"That would be great . " Jay smiled .
"I thought you'd want to spend more time with Paul . " Helen nudged me a little .
"Ohh that is true . . . " I said feeling a little torn .
"It's okay we can postpone it . " Jay smiled .
"No no . . . We'll defiantly visit your family, we agreed ages ago . " I smiled .
"Ohh where did the other two disappear off to?" Jun questioned returning with drinks .
"They went to see the match . " I smiled .
"Wait a second you're all of age right . " He asked quickly covering two of the glasses with his hands .
"Haha I'm 23 sadly . " I admitted to everyone .
"Really? You look very young for your age . " he smiled lifting his hand off the glass .
"Why thank you . " I smiled appreciating the compliment .
"Grace and I are 20 . " Helen notified us .
"What? . . . I'm the youngest I'm only 19 . " Jay answered .
"I really doubt that . . . I feel Daisy is pretty young . " Helen replied .
"Yeah either that or just clueless about the outside world . " Jay chuckled .
"I think it's just her upbringing . " I suggested .
"Ohh? . . What sort of upbringing did she have? . . I know her kind are normally travellers . " Jun asked .
"Ohh she was born into a cult? . . The name eludes me . . But she was eventually rescued by Paul and was then adopted by the church of Serra . " Helen briefly described her back story .
"Woah . . . . that's pretty insane . . . " Jun looked at us in shock .
"Yeah . . . . when we first heard it we were all blown away as well . " I chuckled .
"So how about you Jun? . . " We questioned .
"What about me?" he questioned with a sly grin .
"Age and upbringing?" I questioned .
"Okay I'm 27 life was pretty normal my parents were chief engineers in the engineering and power department of Aspa, my parent's status got me into Aspa . Aced all my tests and combat simulation so now I'm here . " He smiled .
Daisy and Grace came back with giant smiles on their faces as if they thoroughly enjoyed the fight . "Ohh drink!" Daisy yelled in glee grabbing the glass and downing it before anyone could stop her .
"Wait . . " Jun's futile attempt to stop her, reaching out for her drink was quickly quashed by the speed in which Daisy downed her drink .
"Huh?" She questioned her face filed with a sly grin .
"Just wanted to make sure you're of age . " He retracted his hand in defeat .
"Ohh . . Umm . . 16 . " She confessed looking slightly guilty .
"Ohh boy . " Jun face palmed himself .
"That funnily explains quite a lot . " Jay chuckled .
