Chapter 845: Back To Work
—
Nina sighed in defeat while Tori just rubbed her hand on her face. Kyle bit his lips but couldn\'t really say anything, he just hope that these two will let this slide for now.
Well, what can he do? Lie? Raven was scary and it\'s not like people can lie on his face. He\'s going to know the truth anyway so why not tell him right away?
Raven sighed, he looked at his sisters and asked: "I just want to make sure…he didn\'t force the two of you, right?"
"No, Big Brother." The twins answered right away. Nina then said: "The two of us realized it first, then we talked about it since there\'s quite literally nothing that remains a secret between us. We decided to share instead of fighting over him."
"We were the ones who jumped on him, not the other way around." Tori interjected, earning a glare from both Nina and Raven.
Kyle remained silent on the side. Feeling a bit better and quite touched, hearing his girlfriends telling the truth and not being ashamed of what they have. That said, it doesn\'t mean that the jitters went away though.
Raven stared at his own disciple once more. He noticed that Kyle still shivered under his strict gaze but managed to hold the contact.
\'Good, at least he\'s a man enough to take responsibility of his actions.\' Raven nodded to himself.
Well, it\'s not like Raven didn\'t know about this before. It is his duty to know everything so how can he not know what\'s happening between them?
All of this was just an act and a test. He doesn\'t really plan on taking it that far since he didn\'t want to antagonize too much.
Although it\'s a bit weird for his own disciple to take his sisters as his wife, at least he knows that Kyle is strong enough to protect them. He\'s the one who witnessed Kyle\'s growth and understands what kind if person he is.
The thought had cross his mind before but he didn\'t expect it to turn into reality.
Well, he also is to blame for this. After all, he was the one who told Kyle to look after his sisters. They\'ve been together through thick and thin, to be honest, it would be more surprising if nothing blooms after that.
"Boy."
"Yes, Sir!"
"Hurt them and I will personally end you. Understood!"
"Understood, Sir! I\'ll never hurt them intentionally!" Kyle answered.
"Our parents are still here, go find them and ask them to bless your relationship." Raven nodded, "You better hold on to your promise, boy. I will not hesitate."
"Yes, Master!" Kyle nodded profusely.
"Go on, the three of you."
After he said that, the three of them left the grand hall leaving Raven alone in his thoughts.
Shortly after they left, Raven rested his back on his chair and sighed. A silhouette emerged behind him. It was Luna.
Raven patted his thighs and Luna didn\'t hesitate to sit on them. Draping her arm loosely on his neck, she asked:
"The poor boy was so frightened. Did you really have to do that?"
"Not really." Raven shrugged, "I just feel like it. I mean, I could only do this once…I hope I\'ll only do this once. I don\'t want to kill my own disciple after all."
"Oh, it wouldn\'t go that far. He\'s a nice kid. Sensible and responsible too. I\'m sure they\'ll be fine." Luna stated.
"I know. I practically raised him." Raven nodded, "I just acted that way to let him know that I really won\'t hesitate if he messes-up so he better not."
"Whatever you say." Luna chuckled, "Come, Vanessa wants us to have a meal with her."
Raven nodded and the two of them disappeared from the grand hall.

It took the Dawn Council around a week before they returned to their usual routine.
The sparks that was left by the Grand Youth Meet still lingers around the Divine Realm, even now it\'s still a hot topic amongst the citizens.
Currently, the Dawn Council resumed it\'s monthly meetings. Raven, Luna, Anne, Mark, Ellen, Paul and Laughing Dragon are currently inside their meeting hall.
Laughing Dragon was currently stating recent reports they have received.
According to him, the rate of mission clearance as well as the success rate boosted by a large amount just these past week alone. The event really did wonders for the reputation of the council itself and in conjunction, it also affected the overall well being of the Divine Realm itself.
"…the Dawn Council\'s Elite Group has also been established. Currently, they are all receiving guidance from our academy and some are already showing results. Your children also got admitted to the Genius List. They are admittedly a bit behind compared to the rest but they\'re working hard to close the gap."
"Additionally, those who were qualified to enter the Divine Land already got their reward. Right now, everybody is busy training and fixing their glaring flaws. We estimate that in no less than three years, they will be done and the quality of our geniuses will rise exponentially once more."
Laughing Dragon gave them a curt bow. Raven smiled and nodded his head: "Thank you for your hard work Laughing Dragon, you may go back to your seat."
And that\'s precisely what Laughing Dragon did.
"So, long story short. The Grand Youth Meet was a success." Raven summarized, "If anything, it even exceeded our initial expectations judging by the results Laughing Dragon showed us. We\'re om the right track at this point we can start expecting things to be more relaxed as time goes on."
"Is this the part where we can finally sit back and relax?" Paul asked.
"No." Raven countered, "Not yet at least. It will still take sometime before that happens. It will happen when it happens. Don\'t be anxious."
"Right."
"While we are on the topic of things to do, I\'d remind all of you to pay closer attention to our operations. The sudden influx of activities might be hectic, if you guys don\'t focus, it\'s possible that some rats could slip away. Don\'t slack off."
"Right."
"Oh, right. I\'m planning on stepping out again. We\'ve talked about this before but I\'ll say this again, I\'ll go out to set-up the outposts while also taking that chance to search for my Master\'s whereabouts. I don\'t know how long I\'ll be gone so I\'ll leave everything up to you guys."
"Be at ease. We\'ll be fine here." Anne replied.
"Thanks, I know I could count on you all." Raven nodded, he then looked at Luna and said: "Let Vanessa stay with you for a bit, I\'ll go on seclusion for quite sometime."
"Seclusion…oh! Yes, of course. She\'ll stay with me for a bit then." Luna nodded.
"Wait, you plan on breaking through already?" Ellen asked.
"I don\'t see any reason to delay it anymore." Raven shrugged, "I\'ll be in the Outer World after this, I have to make sure I\'ll be as strong as I could get so that I can search for my Master and return here in one piece."
"Will your Avatars be inactive?" Mark asked.
"No, they shouldn\'t be." Raven shook his head, "They\'ll remain here to do their work. But, at the smallest chance that they do become inactive, I\'m sure you guys can cover up for them for a bit. They won\'t be gone for too long anyway."
"Yeah. That\'s fine. Leave the council to us and focus on your breakthrough." Luna smiled and offered her outmost support to her husband.
Raven smiled at them and said: "Alright, meeting adjourned. Thank you for your hard work people."
Once he said that, the rest of the dispersed, leaving towards their own office. Raven was left alone to marinate on his own thoughts without anyone disturbing him.
He checked his schedule and his activities. He made sure that everything has been taken care off before he starts his seclusion. His schedule has been freed for the most part anyways so there isn\'t much for him left to do.
It took him an hour to finish everything he needed. He double checked to see if he missed anything but didn\'t find any so he stood up from his seat and stretched a bit.
He walked on his room, sealed it and took a warm bath to relax. He went through several relaxing routines in order to completely get rid of his exhaustion. Right after doing that, he disappeared from his room and appeared on the Throne Room.
This is where he planned on making his breakthrough.
He secured the area, making sure that nobody will be able to go inside in the mean time so that he won\'t be disturbed.
After securing the area. He released a long sigh and officially began his seclusion.
He sat on his throne, slowly but surely getting rid of unnecessary thoughts on his mind. He lit up several incense sticks and relaxed his body. This ritual was completely unnecessary but Raven still did it since it attuned his mind.
Once he felt that he was ready, Raven took a deep breath and started his breakthrough.
