Chapter 272: Blaze: The Sword Saint
"Blaze."
"Elio, my man~."
Tall, red head, purple eyes like Olive's, and a unique light skin tone. Olive's big brother and one of the high rankers of <NO>.
"How've you been man? How long has it been since I last saw you two?"
He was tall, muscular, he was wearing a blue suit, and he was standing before a private jet with his dad.
"We just met a few months ago, man. And didn't we call a few weeks ago as well… we also met yesterday so it hasn't been that long."
"No but yesterday doesn't count. None of us were really greeting each other or anything. It wasn't like any simple day."
The moment they all came out of the car on the runway, the man, Olive's big brother, Blaze greeted them all, and then he hugged Elio like a big brother as well.
"Haha, that's true as well. Though, I heard you were stuck in a forest or something? Tell me more about it, will you~?"
He was a cheerful one like her mom, but at the same time, despite his buffed body, he looked quite athletic. And, the glasses that he was wearing made him seem more of a nerd than a typical dude in his late twenties.
His clothing style was like Elio's while Alex was still wearing simple clothes even though they were going somewhere, same as Olive and her mom.
"Why don't I tell you about all that, Blazing? What do you say? Wanna spar and talk with swords?" Elio was quite formal with him but just like everyone else, Alex was being casual with this person as well.
And, when she said that, Blaze also ended up smiling.
"I'd love that, sister Alex. Oh, I had this new move to test as well."
"We have a deal then~."
She also laughed and hugged the tall man, and then, as if Blaze was younger than her, she also patted his head.
She liked those hair. They were nothing like either his dad or his mom. They were more like his grandma and it was a unique trait within their small family.
"Won't you greet your own sister, you brute bear?"
"You just got better. And why would I greet you anyway. We're going home, and you're coming with us. What's the point of greeting you when I'm going to see you for a few more weeks anyway."
"Baby~. Don't make it sound like we aren't going to see Oli later~."
Eth didn't like how he had said that so she scolded him, and then she scolded Olive as well for being rude to her big brother.
Alex and Elio laughed at this simple yet funny interaction of this not-so-simple family.
"Alright alright everyone."
A father that was a tech nerd like Alex and a mother that was a better developer than Alex. Olive who had her own passions, someone who now held a crucial role in this new, changing world.
A big brother that was ranked [8th] in all of the rankings of <NO>, the first <Foreigner Sword saint> as well as the <Master of one true sword>. Immortal name: Imbibition Blaze, he was also one of the first few people who owned a Divine being as his familiar.
He was the first person to get acknowledged by a holy sword, he was the first person to become a master among the Players, he was also the first person to hunt a (Level-250) field boss with the help of a few other people.
But he had the most contribution in that hunt… and yet, he was still ranked ninth, at almost the lowest of the high rankers.
The people who were above him, be it the second ranked person with the most luck, the third ranked person with the most intelligence, the fourth, fifth and sixth who were a savant by nature, or the seventh and eighth ranked ones that simply were stronger than him, had all their own abilities.
But, he was still a hero in the eyes of many Natives of that world. If one knew about the <Karmic Sword>, they would know about him.
And since almost all people who knew even a little about the weapons knew about one of the most famed weapons ever made, they would know about this sword saint who had achieved divinity with his own efforts.
He was a unique person, but also one of the most humble that Alex had met in her life in this physical world, as well as in the virtual world.
"Let's talk inside, okay? We have plenty of time to chat and play before we reach home."
There was something about this family that made them quite unique compared to many other Rich families that Alex had known until now.
She was a smart person so she had acquaintances all around the world, many in high society, even some in the royalties.
She was not anyone famous, but she still knew a few key individuals. And they knew her as a person, not as Alex but simply as a person.
The same wasn't true for these people.
They were her family, and, even though they were also rich and had a unique lifestyle, they were fun people that she loved to be around, talk with, and play with.
"Dad, Alex brought her chips for you-."
"Hey! You weren't supposed to tell him! And I didn't bring it for him-."
"You brought the chips here?! Hey! Let's see! Let's get in! Quick!"
The jet that they were going to use wasn't anything special, it was simply one of the private jets that they owned, and it was only big enough for a few of them.
It wasn't overly luxurious or anything, but it was still pretty and plain so as they all got in, none of them felt any particular comfort or discomfort.
The inside of the jet was spacious, it was going to be a 3 hour ride so they weren't going to be engaged for too long, but still, this jet was equipped with a room of ten Chariots that though weren't as high end as the ones that they were used to, they were good pieces of tech that Olive's dad had installed himself.
"Get the chips out, get them out~."
Alex was better when it came to technology, and in particular, her way of creating these tech and programming them as well as making them efficient was so good that even a tech genius like him couldn't match her ability to make these amazing things.
Every time he had tried to make something better than hers, she had ended up making something beyond his expectations.
And it was a recurring problem, something they had still going on even to this day.
After many trials, he was in the process of developing the fastest processors, the finest mental-virtual graphic generators, and even the most efficient power distribution units.
All of these were compat chips that ran on technology that was smaller than a thousandth of centimeter.
Creating these things took months, sometimes years. But, it was worth it… they were revolutionary in the industry, and even though Alex wasn't interested in giving the other people any access to her technologies, the things that Olive's dad created were open to the entire world.
Many of the things that they had created through this competition over the last few years was now being used in many of the commercial chariots, and even if the people that used these chariots did not know about him, they were playing their favorite virtual games as well as they were doing it thanks to him.
"Oh, about sparring."
"Yes, yes. How about we get to it after resting for a little longer. I heard you two have to go back inside the game for a little while as well?
We shouldn't waste too much time then."
"Can't we just start right now-."
"Oh, did you two see the kitchen? Let's go see what they have in the kitchen."
Blaze also wanted to spar with her as soon as possible, but they knew none of them had any actual food since the morning So, they were going to eat first.
They were looking forward to having Alex and Elio's mom's cooking as well, but that would only be possible after they get back.
Until then, they didn't mind having the food that their chefs had made for them…
"Olive, you're alright, right?"
A father was always going to be concerned about his little daughter. And a brother was always going to worry about her despite knowing how tough she was.
"You're too clumsy. How did you even exhaust yourself while playing a game in that kind of Chariot?"
"Go away you dumb bear!"
Olive had only told about her position in this new, changing world to Alex and Elio. She did not want to tell them about what she had been through, and she had made that one thing clear.
So, they did not know why she was hospitalized when she was perfectly fine, or what might have been her role in the first Myth that they had heard just like the rest of the people of this world.
They wanted to know how she was and confirm if she was fine or not, but she had made it clear that Alex and Elio knew what had happened to her and that she wasn't going to talk about all those things anymore.

She was fine, and they will have to accept that.
[We will take off in 3 minutes. Please be seated.]
She had told the same to Elio's family so, she wasn't going to repeat herself even if they asked her a hundred more times after they reach their home…
