"So would you join us and help with that problem Roy?"
...
"Can I have some time to decide?" Let's not make a decision too fast here
"Okay take your time, so do you mind if we heal you now?"
"Wait I'm still injured?" Roy take a look at his body and it's still full of blood and wound "yes please heal me" I felt so used to it that I don't really feel the pain, what's happening?
"Aiden please" captain ask the mechanical leg guy to do it
"Stay still" Aiden cast a spell at Roy and the wound are closed "I'm only closing the wound, you're going to be fully recovered by yourself anyway"
"Fully recovered by myself, is that one of benefits of being inheritor? And is that why I suddenly used to pain and suddenly better at fighting?"
"Benefits huh? Yes that one way to put it and the other two is depend on the on who you're inherent, Lancelot is a knight, those two things is to be expected" Aiden answer him
"So about the price of the inherent" Roy speak as he looking at Aiden's leg
"Yes is it as you think this is one of Aiden's price to pay, but don't worry, it's depends on who you're inherent" captain answering
"So what's mine?"
"You got the curse of absolute loyalty, is it as the name said, I believe I don't need to explain it" then captain yawn
"How is this curse of loyalty work exactly? I can't just betraying?"
"Yeah, you body will stop if you're doing something not loyal"
"Okay I think I got it now, so what is it about Lancelot, why is he so significant here?"
"You'll get that answer after you explore our base, would you like to?"
"Of course! I like to" Roy looks around the room and it's pretty futuristic
"Okay then everyone disband, and Kai please guide our guest here" almost everyone slowly leaving the room except Kai and Emma
"Yes captain! Please follow me Roy, and Emma why are you still here?"
"I wanted to know more about Roy of course! I'll tag along" Emma smile cutely
"Then carry Sophia for Roy" Captain said before he go back to his seat and sleep
Oh right I'm still carrying her, it felt so natural
Then Emma carrying Sophia on her back
"Okay, Where do we go first Kai?" Roy ask
"Let's go to the dormitory and get Sophia to her room first"
Then they started walking to the dormitory
"So who do you three inherent"
"Only Emma already inherent, Me and Sophia still haven't inherent yet"
"Huh?"
"Every inheritor got chosen by the world tree but not every inheritor got chosen by the spirit, that's just how is it most of us die before even inherent in fact" Kai explain
"I see"
"Kai actually got the offer once but he rejected" Emma lightly punch Kai shoulder as she said
"You can rejected it? And why?"
"You got put into a weird place when a spirit chosen you right? To reject them you just have to wait and do nothing, in case you can't figure the identity of the one who offer they name or not sure what the price is and don't want to risk, but most of us just accept because there's probably won't be another chance"
"But Kai right here reject just because he want a specific one" Emma laughed "Oh right I'm inherent the little match girl"
"Little match girl? What benefits can you even get from that?"
"Just better compatibility with fire elements magic, and my price is my body is always deadly cold"
"Wait what? Is Sophia okay?"
"You're not even worried about me? I constantly use my magic to warm myself of course, everything is fine"
"We're here, Emma" Kai look at Emma who's carrying Sophia
"Oh right this is lady room"
Kai open the door for Emma to put Sophia in her bed
"So this is Dormitory? Everyone got one?"
"Yeah, if you join us captain will create one for you, it have everything you need"
Emma came out of Sophia room "So what's our destination?"
"I still didn't see anything related to Lancelot, can we go somewhere at least related to the matter?" Roy look around
"Okay then let's go to the movie room" Kai lead the way
At the movie room there's many tape
"Let's watch this one, this definitely teach you many things about us, this video is the most famous in the inherentor world, I'll explain as we watch" Kai pick one of the tape up and put them in to the player
The video starts playing and there's five man fighting a big tentacles monster, three of them are similar face, Aiden in the middle with a sword and armor, Zhou Cheng with a spear, beside him, and Captain Kaoru in the back in a priest outside
Then there's another two, a black hair guy with a staff standing beside Kaoru and another one seems to be hiding red hair guy with a bow and arrows
"This is ten years ago, five of them are the founder of Earth Watcher" Kai start explaining
Two of them aren't here... it's obvious why, and I shouldn't ask
"Wait I should tell you a context first, why this fighting video are so popular" Kai paused the video "there's well known prophecy that the party full of inheritor who not inherent will came and save the world, and this is when none of them are inherent yet"
Kai continue the video "and this monster is one of a kind called the Eater, this kind of monster is the one that already got the root of the world tree and also since they got power of the world tree they can also inherent, so they can be really strong"
The video show the team work in harmony as Aiden lead the team and they managed to defeat the monster
There's so many questions, Captain Kaoru seems like completely different person, he's not sleepy at all, or is it just how he is in a fight?, and why Aiden is the one in lead not Kaoru? but I think I shouldn't ask
"So because that prophecy they got a lot of attention and support, they growing the fastest in the history despite not inherent anyone name yet"
The video ended
"The other two members are Ludwig Langston" Kai pointing at the black hair one "and more importantly Brendan Adair" Kai pointing at the red hair archer
"More importantly?"
"He is the previous one who inherent the Lancelot name, that's why we attached to the name Lancelot so much"
"I see... so I just filled in the empty slot huh?" Roy staring at the floor
"No you'll never be him" Zhou Cheng standing at the door, with snacks tray
"Oh hello Zhou! When have you been here?" Emma speak
"For a while now, reminiscing the old memories after seeing that video you know? And I make this together with Aiden, hope you like it" Zhou place a snack tray on the table
"You'll never be him, you two are different people, don't let who you inherent define who you're, is it that simple" then he leaves the room
"Well I guess let's talk about how it went wrong now" Emma take over the conversation
Why do I felt like this is gossiping?
"Aiden got inherent and became completely different person, so the world find out that they aren't the one in the prophecy so all the support is gone, thankfully Kaoru also got inherited shortly after and he help us a ton"
So that's why Aiden wasn't the one leading anymore and Kaoru is the one leading now
"then Brendan got inherent too and all of the team structures is messed up, leading Brendan to his demise, and then Ludwig suddenly disappeared"
So Ludwig possibly still alive
"We're basically tell you our entire history now"
"Thank! So what do we go next?"
"We must finished these snack first or else Aiden will kill us" Kai said with really serious face
"Oh right! But will he really kill us though?"
"I just joking, let's go finish this at cafeteria, that where we're going next"
Then they go to cafeteria and there's a windows there and there's a view outside
"Is that.... the earth?"
