“I hope that kid is still alive” Rain muttered as she and her sister entered the gates of their Rising Sage Academy


    The Academy itself although not humongouslyrge is still quite big


    In terms of wealth, a 6th and 5th fusion rank mages have more than enough if they only want to buy a property


    Land that would require millions or tens of millions of credits will only require tens of thousands of mana stones


    Considering the wealth of high-level mages, tens of thousands are nothing to them


    Many 6th fusion rank mages have millions of mana stones


    “The chances of that are low. Tattoo Warriors are almost extinct now. The mage path is the mainstream path and the others are almost nowhere to be seen anymore”


    “There’s a high chance that those Tattoo Warriors came from a Blessed Land with a dead master and they are often violent and hostile to human mages of today. I feel bad for Rezen”


    Florine replied with a sigh. In her eyes, Rezen is a person that would have a bright future but it was cut off after the abduction. The chances of him surviving are almost zero and in case he did, he might have turned into a ything of those Tattoo Warriors


    “Ugh… why did they even have arge-scale war before? Because of it, even if we were lucky to find a Blessed Land’s entrance without a master, as long as it was from the previous era, obtaining the treasures inside was more dangerous thanks to the other path’s hostility toward us!” Rainined


    For mages at the 6th fusion rank and below, no, even mages above 6th fusion rank are also interested in a Blessed Land without a Master because of the resources and possible treasure that it contains


    Too bad that if the Blessed Land came from the previous era, the intelligent living creatures in there would often be hostile


    “Let’s just hope for the best” Florine replied


    “What best? Those Blessed Lands are in the same ce as our home but are in a separate and hidden space! They can even move their location constantly and it’s hard to find them using normal means. As long as there is no one with a special identity that was abducted, there is almost no hope that the abducted people would be saved!”


    Even mages at 7th fusion rank wouldn’t easily discover other people’s blessednd, what more for those that are below that rank?


    They wanted to help but first, they can’t, and second, Rezen is really not someone close to them


    Sooner orter, if they don’t receive any news, they would forget all about him


    The pair of sisters talked while returning to their rooms inside the Academy when they raised their heads


    A crack in space, the same as the one they had seen in the mall earlier this day can be seen and from it, someone came falling down


    “A-ahh! Those bastards! At least let me return safely!” Rezenined. He was about to use a [Water Stream] spell to lower the impact of his fall when a vine caught him


    “Eh?” Rezen stared at the vine before looking at the two people staring at him with disbelief


    “Oh… hi…” Rezen greeted and the cheeks of the sisters blushed a bit


    Before Rezen can receive a response, a towel was also thrown toward him which made him feel relieved


    Finally! He can finally cover himself again!


    His body figure might not look bad but it was still embarrassing to be almost fully naked!


    His tattered pants and underwear were only covering the most important part!


    The vine ced Rezen on the ground while he used the towel to cover his body


    “Hello again, what a surprise” Rezen greeted for the second time to mask his embarrassment


    Fortunately, there are only two people in the ce where he was sent into. If not, it would be even more embarrassing!


    Those kidnappers are really tactless! They should have given him a new pair of clothes before sending him off!


    Wouldn’t they cry tears of blood if Rezen died from the embarrassment of being exposed?


    “Little brother, how did you return?” Rain asks after Rezen covered himself. The things that must not be seen cannot be seen anymore


    “Sister, it’s a long story but right now, all I want is to rest. Can I please have a change of clothes?”


    Today was the craziest day of Rezen’s life. The pill is not as omnipotent as it imed as it failed to bring Rezen’s mental state to its peak


    His body and soul don’t feel tired but mentally and emotionally, he is terribly exhausted


    “Why in a rush? Why don’t you tell us what happened first? How did you escape? Did you obtain treasures? Little brother, seeing that younded in our Academy, I believed that you are really fated to join us” Rain said with a hint of excitement


    ‘Is it just me or has her talking skills improved a lot?’ Rezen wondered. If he was not exhausted and is in dire need of rest, he might really believe that he is fated to be their disciple


    “Let’s talk about this at another time, sister, I really need to return to my house and rest” Rezen replied in almost a pleading tone


    “Rain, that’s enough. Let the man rest. He clearly had a stressful day” Florine said causing her younger sister to pout


    Rezen was given a simple shirt and shorts and he hailed a taxi


    His car was still in the mall but he don’t have the energy to take it with him


    ———


    The next day


    Rezen was woken up by the loud banging sounds on his door and he almost smashed his bed in annoyance


    With a groan, Rezen dragged his body to see a crying Neil outside


    “Rezen, you bastard! Where are the spirit nts? Our shop’s door was broken down by those crazy customers!” Neil cried out and Rezen angrily kicked him in his stomach


    “You are the bastard! Didn’t you know that I was kidnapped yesterday in that Blessed Land or whatever? What kind of friend are you to care more about the spirit nts than your friend?!” Rezen said coldly, his heart breaking as he felt that he just got betrayed


    “Huh? What kidnapping are you talking about? Who would even kidnap you?” Neil replied with question marks on his face


    “The news… haven’t you seen the news? Don’t tell me that they didn’t report anything about it?”


    “I don’t know! Do you think I have time? I told you, I have developed PTSD! I can’t even use my phone! I don’t know how those crazy customers got my number but I have to turn my phone off if I don’t want to receive calls every second!”


    Rezen remembered the bloodshot eyes of Neil’s customers, they all looked like zombies


    Rezen shuddered at the memory and although he was still bitter about not receiving care from his friend after being kidnapped, he can’t find himself to me Neil


    This guy is really traumatized and it was all because of him


    “Whatever. I don’t have spirit nts today. I just got kidnapped, okay? At least let me rest!”


    “Bah! If you are going to lie then make it believable! Who would kidnap you? Are you a rich second-generation Heir or something?”


    Rezen raised his foot again and Neil raised his hands to block


    “I was really kidnapped! Why won’t you believe me?!”


    “Look at you, your skin was practically glowing! How can you be kidnapped with a face like that?!” Neil retorted coldly, not believing Rezen’s apparent kidnapping case at all


    ‘Damn recovery pills… they also have cosmetic effects?! Do they bring my skin back to the peak and most handsome state? If those old richdies were to learn about them… just how much could I sell them for?’


    “Is it my fault that I am handsome at all times?!”


    “Blegh!”


    “This jerk!”


    “Fine, fine, you are handsome now but I still need the spirit nts!”


    “I don’t have them”


    “What do you mean you don’t have them?!”


    “Exactly as what my words meant!”


    “Brother… no… is this because I didn’t believe you? Yes, yes, you were really kidnapped but I need the spirit nts!”


    Rezen was speechless as he watched Neil kneeling to him. He was even crying pitifully while hugging his legs


    Just how much trauma this guy had…


    Rezen felt guilty and he can only sigh


    “Come back in six hours”


    “Thre—”


    “Don’t even try to negotiate or I won’t give them”


    With that, Neil threw the thought of negotiating for the time being and he left reluctantly


    Rezen shook his head before he went to his farm and in his hand, the Life Seed appeared


    Since he is already awake then he might as well just nt this thing


    At first, Rezen felt that the seed was quite amazing but on the second look, it was actually creepy


    Inside this small seed after all was an artificial human embryo. It felt like he was holding a human fetus in his hand
