BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124: Finally Home 1
"I will continue to grow my strength, becoming stronger and faster in the shortest amount of time possible.
"Anyone who wants my life is free to come and take it!"
"I\'ll give them a battle that will shake their soul in horror at the slightest remembrance!" Nolan declared with a cold harrumph as he inhaled sharply, immediately calming his fiery rage.
Then, his dagger faded away from his grasp, and he moved on to his bed.
"I feel like I have greater problems than that!" he mused to himself.
He had undergone quite an extensive change, and he knew well that not everything was positive.
"Activate syst...." Nolan was saying when suddenly...
BAAAAANGGG!
An incredibly loud bang was heard as Nolan felt his bed suddenly shift over to the wall and then...
BOOM!
His back slammed onto the wall, leaving cracks on the wall\'s surface as the entire aircraft tumbled in its space.
Immediately, Nolan jumped to his feet once the aircraft stabilized a second later, and instantly hurtled out of his door, only to find the godly ten already running into the control room.
He quickly followed after them.
Arriving with the others in the control ship, they found Oliver standing before the control panel, his hands a blur due to how fast he was typing on the controls.
"FUCK!" He occasionally screamed out while rapidly clicking away, and Nolan didn\'t even need to be told before he looked at the side of the control room and found the beeping radar.
He could see a green dot, and behind the green dot, one could see strange dots that were the color of red.
They were incredibly vast, almost forming a small crowd.
"What are those..." the surprised voice of Celestine rang out as Gojo slowly turned his head behind them and stared at the door for a long while before an irritating smirk appeared on his face.
"Void bees!" he said.
"Void bees!?" Nolan wondered to himself.
He never knew there were bees that hung in the void.
"Those destructive bastards have only a single goal: to rip apart anything floating in the void that they pass."
"nd they do it all for damn fun."
"It must be a tribe beehive migrating, or there wouldn\'t be so many like this!"
"Talk about bad luck!" Oliver said.
The green light on the radar stepped toward them with horrific speed, and they all had to hold onto something to keep themselves stabilized.
For the next three hours straight, Oliver relentlessly pushed various buttons while forcefully steering the controls, causing the aircraft\'s speed to reach a whole new level, with every passing second unrelenting until eventually, Nolan felt the ground beneath his feet increase its temperature monumentally, until a burning sensation arose.
"It\'s okay, Oliver. The ground is heating up, and they\'re not on our trail anymore..." Ferris called out to Oliver as his hand moved an inch toward the button only to get it slapped away by Oliver.
"We can\'t risk it! Let\'s go like this for an hour more..." Oliver called out as they all remained in the pilot room until eventually, they sighted a strange cloud containing thousands of stars.
It seemed like some form of cosmic barrier, and Nolan\'s eyebrows narrowed at the sight. He had never seen such a thing before in his life.
"Well, thank you, Oliver!"
"You made us all stand up on our feet until we arrived back at the damn academy!" Vlad, one of the triplets, said to Oliver as they all headed back into the room.
But Nolan remained, watching as the aircraft tore through the cosmic barrier.
What came before his gaze was the sight of monumental structures...
He could already see they were now back in the academy.
\'Fiinally...\' he thought to himself.
He couldn\'t believe he had been away from this place for five days now, and he had to say it was no doubt worthy of it...
Immediately, they entered it, and the alarm blared forth as red lights flashed toward the Aethercraft from the distance.
Oliver finally reclined the seat, the pain to his hands diminished before rising to his feet and walking past Nolan while slapping his shoulder.
"We\'re back, homeboy!" he said, barely concealing his joy.
It was clear to see that even the godly ten themselves felt the academy was like home to them.
And arriving back home, of course, brought them intense joy.
It was something worth smiling and jubilating over.
Immediately, Nolan also left the pilot room, going to his room and grabbing his backpack.
He gave one last gaze at the room, making sure he had everything he needed back in his bag, and then he walked outside the shaft.
Once more, the sunlight and the sight of the staffs and Aethercraft entered into his gaze.
Quickly, they made thier way to the structure.
They were asked a couple of questions, and Oliver was also asked some questions.
After the woman completed the signing, they were all given permission to leave, and Nolan didn\'t need to worry much about the rewards of the mission.
He believed Sir Astaroth would always find a way to reach back to him, and he also didn\'t feel much when he parted with the godly ten.
They also knew where to find him. He was pretty \'popular\' after all.
Left alone, Nolan walked through the streets of the academy, his bags slung over his shoulder.
Thankfully, he had brought some clothes with him, or he would have ended up returning with only a pair of rags on him.
And he truly received quite a special gaze from the students, who were surprised at seeing him once more, knowing well it had taken them some time since they had seen him last.
Finally, he moved past the sea of gazes and eventually found himself standing before the gargantuan Greek building.
"Finally home!"
