Soon enough my mom called us for dinner. We headed down the stairs and made our way to the dining room. Once we arrived, we saw an elongated table about 5 meters long. Along that table were a variety of different dishes ranging from turkey and pig to vegetable platters and salad. All the meat dishes were however beast meat, being more nutritional than regular food.
At the table me and Blake saw my mom and dad sitting at the table and joined them. As we began to eat the conversation started.
"So how was your two's awakening?" asked mom.
"It went good." I replied. "Both of us had a successful awakening."
Hearing our response, she was extremely happy, giving a bright smile. "Thats great to hear." she said.
Soon my dad also proposed a question. "What was your awakening?" he asked. "Both of you."
'Should I reveal my race.' I thought. 'I mean the void part. Revealing I'm a kitsune should be fine but revealing I'm a void kitsune might not be the smartest idea. The Sullivan family has a lot of information about everything known to the public and even hidden information, so there's a good chance they even know about the void.'
Soon I remembered something that slipped my mind. 'Wait! Didn't dad mention he could see through lies before. That means there's no point in attempting to hide it from him.'
After remembering this fact, I answered him. "I awakened as a void kitsune."
Hearing that a hint of surprise flashed across both of mom's and dad's face before disappearing.
"Explain!" Exclaimed dad, but soon mom gave him a glare causing him to soften his tone. "Lucious, can you talk about your race?"
At first, I was surprised by his authoritative tone but after it softened, I decided to talk. "There are a few things to note about my new race. The signature thing to note would be possessing the void attribute, but something that may even be more noteworthy is I have the unique existence trait. This trait says it's only given to those who are the only of their race through all worlds."
Dad listened patiently, but after I finished, he gave me a look as if saying "Is that all? Don't you have anything which isn't obvious."
Under his gaze I decided to reveal some more important information, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be vague and use incomplete information.
"*Sigh* Among my skills three parts are powerful but not in the typical sense of the word. The first doubles my stat growth. The second allows me to gain skill depending on the situation. The third allows me to travel through the void and worlds."
Upon reveal my {void traversal} skill all of them seemed shocked. Even Blake who was only half paying attention seemed surprised by it. I guess his confidence in his own race, and the {prideful} trait led him to disregard my race at first.
Based on the look on his face I could guess the thought running through his head. At first, he only saw me as a treasured friend who he would help and protect but now that changed. Based on how his eyes are staring at me, he now considers me a person of great potential whose safety must be secured at all cost.
'I hate to do it, but I have to break their bubble on my skills.' I thought sarcastically.
"Even though it sounds amazing the distance between worlds are too large to use it. With my level I might reach another world in a few thousand years If I'm lucky."
"You're right." Muttered my dad. "Your lifespan is too short."
'Lifespan?' I thought. 'Doesn't he mean time?'
He looked up and as if sensing my confusion he decided to explain. "Little is known about the void, and the little that is known isn't public. Based on what we do know about it is time in the void is distorted. 10 years might be 1 second, or 1 second might be 10 years. The distance doesn't matter because the time it takes wouldn't matter anyway."
Once he was done explaining another question seemed to come across his face. "The principle told us that you awakened a legendary bloodline, but your race is too powerful to just be legendary. Is your race truly legendary?"
Hearing his question I decided to tell a half truth. "Officially my bloodline is legendary, but I felt like the void energy messed with the awakening causing it show a lower result."
He nodded to my response as if expecting that answer. After hearing what he wanted he turned to Blake. "Sorry Blake, we got a bit carried away with my son's race." Suddenly his expression turned serious emitting a pressure. "I was fine with you knowing as you are my son's friend but remember what you heard in this house stays in this house. Is that understood?"
Blake started to sweat, and he looked like 10 tons were pressing down on him. He tried to compose himself but failed and I could even see a hint of fear on his face.
*Smack*
Before I could even see what happened my dad was holding the back of his head, and my mom was scolding him.
"Control yourself, you're scaring the boy!"
She then turned to look at Blake and began to speak. "Your fine sweetie, just make sure not to tell anyone. Sorry for ignoring you during the conversation, would you like to talk about your awakening?"
Blake seemed surprised with the change in the atmosphere, but after regaining his exposure he began to speak.
"Oh, my awakening was pretty ordinary and was announced as a common bloodline. The only unique thing was it has a draconic nature."
Hearing this my mom was surprised. "Thats weird." she said. "Even the weakest of draconic bloodline are usually at least rare."
"Haha, I guess that is weird." Blake said awkwardly. "Oh right, we got so wrapped up in talking that we barely touched the food. We should eat before it gets cold."
'Oh right, I nearly forgot about the food.'
Other than myself it seemed my parents also forgot about dinner. After all of us realized this, we began to eat.
As we ate dinner, we talked more casually and avoided most of the serious topics, mostly talking about our future plans. Soon enough, dinner ended, and Blake decided to leave after we agreed to go gear shopping tomorrow.
After all of that I decided to go to bed. Hopefully nothing bad happens tomorrow.
