Matthias withdrew the sword from the spirit's body and sealed its body using a stone that was randomly found somewhere.
At the side, the Light Spirit captive looked at him with gratitude, "Thank you, brave soul." It said thanks using human language.
"It is my pleasure." Matthias replied. He invited the spirit to come with him to Sitherio, the Capital of the Sylphine Kingdom. The spirit nodded. Matthias unfused Typhoon from him and rode him to the west, where the Spirit Kingdom is.
When they arrived, he was greeted warmly when they heard of his deeds of defeating a Dark Commander of the Empire.
He was called to the council with the presence of the ruler of the Kingdom.
In the Throne Hall..
On the side were seats with elf-like creatures but they exude light like the angelic elves in his domain. They each wore a white floral crown; they were the Sylphine Council.
In front was a seat that is situated higher than the ground. It exudes a refreshing and calming aura. In it was a majestic female spirit wearing a tall tiara on her head. She was sitting elegantly in her seat and looking at him with gentleness.
"Greetings, Tamer. I am Faranei, the Spirit Queen of Sylphine Kingdom. I extend my appreciation for the whole Kingdom for saving Prince Manus. What is it that you want?" She asked.
Matthias has achieved his goal, "I want nothing but to join the Order of Light." He answered.
"Do you want to join our Kingdom in protecting the rights of all races?" She asked.
"I do, Her Majesty The Spirit Queen." Matthias nodded and knelt like how a knight kneels when receiving the oath.
A White Knight stood up to complete the oath when..
The Spirit Queen stood up, baffling everyone. It is in their oath that the Spirit Queen should not receive the Tamers and personally complete the oath. It is the job of the Knights and Council to do so.
Faranei stood in front of him and said, "I sense great good and comfort in you. You are born to be magnificent and all will surely bow before you. I hereby grant you the special title of Knight of Barbaros and grant you my support."
Gasp.. the surroundings went silent. Then, the Council and the Knights bowed towards them and said, "Greetings, Knight of Barbaros!"
Matthias smiled. Being conferred a Knight is very promising and excellent. But being conferred as the Knight of his homeworld means that he will be the representative and spokesperson of the Order of Light on the world of Barbaros. That means he gets extra authority.
"I thank you, Her Majesty, for granting me this title." He bowed and cupped his fist on his chest.
The Queen smiled. She raised her hand and bestowed upon him the power of Light. The light also descended on Typhoon, strengthening all of their stats.
Matthias smiled and bowed. "Can I go back to my world now?"
"As you wish." The Queen smiled and waved her hand. Typhoon's form integrated to Matthias' soul and was transported alongside him to Barbaros.
In Barbaros, the school was currently surrounded by officers and soldiers of the country. The light was long gone but the officers are still guarding the premises.
Matthias' physical body was seated cross-legged on the platform, seemingly asleep.
Suddenly..
The bright light shone once more. This time, a huge pressure descended and carved an array on the platform.
Matthias' eyes flew wide open and he stood up with a powerful aura.
"This.." Commander Lukas stammered, "His power is on the Martial King Rank."
When human evolution and mutation was discovered, the governments of the world had agreed on the power ranks of the Awakened. They are namely Tamer Apprentice, Tamer Soldier, Tamer Knight, Tamer King, Tamer Emperor, and the highest known Tamer Ancestor. They are also called Martial Apprentice, Soldier, Knight, King, Emperor, and Ancestor if they are also individually powerful.
Being a Martial King on his first Awakening, it's unheard of.
"Once he contracts a Beast, he will be extremely powerful." Lukas wasn't even done complimenting when..
Beside Matthias, a rift appeared out of nowhere and a huge griffin came out. The rift was immediately closed.
"No!!" Commander Lukas grimaced. A talent was going to be gone like that?
Suddenly, the huge griffin nudged Matthias. Matthias patted it and the griffin cawed in delight.
Everyone had their mouths wide open.
Commander Lukas rushed to him and asked, "What is this, Mr. Alexander?" Lukas is a Martial Knight Expert. But in front of a Martial King, he is definitely nothing.
"This is my partner, Typhoon. A Light Draconic Griffin." He replied. The griffin was lighter than before, with its scales brighter than before.
"Where did you get him from? We have no mutated creatures like that in the four continents of Barbaros." He inquired.
"Beyond the space rift." Matthias answered. Then, Lukas gasped, "Beyond?! How?!"
Matthias explained everything. "By absorbing the Rift Energy and sending our mental energy or thoughts and consciousness to the energy, the rift summons our soul to the Spirit Realm, the world beyond the Rift. It is a world filled with beasts and is dominated by Two Spirit Factions of the Light and Dark."
Matthias taught them how to do so and how to return to the body after.
Lukas gasped with surprise and then laughed with pleasure, "This will strengthen our ranks a lot! Thank you for the information, Sir Alexander! I shall report this to the higher ups!"
Lukas took out his pager and contacted his superior.
Lukas gave Matthias his number and vice versa.
Matthias' friends walked to him, asking what happened and if he was okay. Matthias smiled and nodded. He looked at his friends and formulated a plan in his head.
When he got home, he was welcomed merrily by his parents with his older brother Cytus who is a Tamer Knight. They had a feast and told stories.
The next day, his phone rang. He picked it up and a deep voice came from the other side, "Is this Mr. Alexander?"
"Yes." He answered.
"I am General Smith of the Tamer Division. We want to discuss things with you in our head office." The man said.
"I'll be there in two minutes." He then ended the call, got outside and summoned Typhoon and flew towards the Tamer Division.
