Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

As the conversation wound down, Yuki stood and gave a polite bow. "Thank you for the tea and the conversation. It was nice seeing you all again, but I have to go now."

The twins and Sani rose to their feet. Alexa smiled and waved. "Take care, Yuki. Don't forget to visit again!"

Alex nodded. "Yeah, and next time, stay longer."

Sani offered her serene smile. "Safe travels, Yuki. May peace guide your way."

After saying her goodbyes, Yuki left, and shortly after, the twins also bid farewell to Sani, heading back to the Awakeners Association.

Inside the car. "I'll check the records again when we get back. I don't want to miss anything that could give us a clue." Alexa muttered.

Alex focused to the roam, "It's not Seojun. Stop stressing about it."

Alexa glanced at him briefly. "How can you be so sure? Even if we know him But Nah, his in the academy anyway. He might be strong, but using a divine weapon? That's not his style. He's more... subtle."

When they finally arrived at the Awakeners Association building, they barely had time to relax before Alex's phone buzzed. It was a call from their grandfather.

"Hello, Grandpa," Alex answered. Alexa leaned closer to listen.

"Ah, good timing," their grandfather said, his tone casual yet amused. "Your friend is waiting for you in my office."

Alex frowned. "Our friend? Who—?"

"You'll see," their grandfather said cryptically before hanging up.

The twins exchanged confused glances. "Friend? Who could it be?" Alexa muttered.

They hurried to the office, and as soon as they entered, they froze, dumbfounded by the sight before them. Sitting casually on the sofa, wearing a calm and relaxed expression, was none other than Seojun.

"Seojun?!" Alex exclaimed, blinking in disbelief.

Alexa, recovering from the shock, ran over to him and pointed an accusing finger. "What are you doing here?! Wait, don't tell me!" Her eyes widened in realization. "It's you! You're the one who—!"

Alexa stared at him, her jaw dropping. "You've got to be kidding me!"

Seojun casually took a cookie from the table and bit into it, his calm demeanor infuriating Alexa further. He stared at her with an innocent expression, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

Alexa started pacing back and forth, mumbling to herself. "We assured them we weren't involved. I was so sure it couldn't be you! But now—!" She stopped and glared at Seojun, her irritation clear.

Alex stepped forward, placing a hand on Alexa's shoulder to calm her down. "It's fine. It's not like they'll find out anyway."

Alexa pointed an accusing finger at Seojun, her tone sharp. "The matter of someone using a divine weapon on another country's property without permission is no joke! If they find out, do you even realize what could happen?!"

Alex scratched the back of his neck, uneasy. He knew she was right. "Yeah, if they find out, it's going to be a problem," he muttered.

Alexa turned her fiery glare back to Seojun. "And you! What are you doing here?! Isn't it forbidden to leave the Beast Doctor Academy before the first day?!"

Seojun stood up, seemingly unfazed, and walked over to the coffee machine. As he began making coffee, he casually tossed something toward Alex. Instinctively, Alex caught it, only to realize it was a Beast Doctor license. His eyes widened in shock, and Alexa leaned over to look at it, her expression matching her brother's disbelief.

"How did you get this?" Alex asked, holding the license up.

"Hey!" Alexa said, her tone accusatory. "Did you steal this license?!"

Seojun, now holding three cups of coffee, leaned against the counter and took a sip, his relaxed demeanor never wavering. "Nope. I earned it," he said simply, setting two cups on the table for the twins. "By now, they should be calling."

"Who?" Alex asked, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.

Right on cue, Alex's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and saw the name Mr. Gideon. Confused, he answered the call.

"Alex, this is Gideon," the voice on the other end said. "I'm calling on behalf of Seojun. He contacted me earlier to inform you of his exemption from completing the academy program. He's already earned his license through a private qualification process approved by the council. It's all legitimate, and there's no need for him to finish the academy coursework."

Alex slowly lowered the phone from his ear, exchanging a wide-eyed look with Alexa, who appeared equally stunned.

Seojun, meanwhile, sipped his coffee, smirking slightly. "Told you," he said,

"You..." Alexa started, pointing at him, her words failing her momentarily. "You're unbelievable!"

A few minutes later, Alexa stood at a distance from Alex and Seojun, who were seated casually on the couch in their office. Alexa's expression was a mix of irritation and focus as she scrolled through her hologram screen with one hand, the other resting firmly on her waist.

Alex chuckled lightly, breaking the silence. "You really don't fail to stress Alexa, Seojun."

Seojun glanced at Alexa, who was clearly frowning. Alex then turned to Seojun, "Is it really you, Seojun? You used a divine weapon and destroyed an island?"

Seojun sighed and leaned back on the couch. "So it's classified as a divine weapon? I wasn't being careful since it was an abandoned island used for weapon testing. I thought it was okay. Sorry for the trouble."

Alex smiled and slung an arm over Seojun's shoulder. "It's okay. If it's you, then it's a relief. It would've been a big problem if we couldn't find who did it. But, you see, Seojun, divine weapons are top-grade artifacts. There aren't many of them in this world, so they attract attention easily. Besides, when one is used, all the high rankers can feel it—especially the deities."

Seojun nodded, his expression turning serious. "No wonder they almost tracked me."

Alex's tone grew more serious as he continued. "All divine artifacts are supposed to go through the church, to Sani, and also to the Awakeners Association. You can't just use a divine weapon whenever you feel like it. They're too powerful for this world. So, Seojun, I hope you don't use it again."

Seojun leaned forward, staring at the floor in thought. Inwardly, he spoke to himself, 'I'm fully aware of the power of my Astral. If I try to use it again, not only will people get hurt, but the Earth might get destroyed.'

His system's voice chimed in, [The Earth is indeed a weak planet, Host. It's nothing like the Abyss. It's unfortunate we wouldn't be able to witness Astral's full power.]

Seojun sighed, nodding internally. True, he replied to the system.

Alexa finally approached them, her expression softening slightly as she exhaled a sigh of relief. "I just checked YouTube and GoTube. You're freaking lucky that no one caught you on camera. So, the only thing we have to do is keep quiet and hope they don't dig too deeply into this."

"That's a relief," Alex said with a small smile. "For now, we lay low and hope this doesn't come back to bite us."

Seojun sipped his coffee, "So Did Auntie Seoyang knew this? that you don't need to continue in the beast doctor academy anymore?" Alexa asked.
