Jason felt comfortable around the Fler's but in the end, he knew that remaining next to them for his whole life was not what he wanted.
It would hinder his own progress and in the end, it might even endanger them.
Since he heard the Shadow walker talking about him like he was a treasure, Jason felt that he couldn't remain with the Fler's and using the mysterious beast creator as his excuse was the best idea that jumped into his mind.
'Am I also using Shane and Dalia as an excuse for myself?' He wondered and thinking about it, Jason figured out that it was partially true.
Without knowing what dangers his presumed existence as a halfling could bring, Jason didn't want to drag the Fler's who were extremely weak compared to the foreign races into his business.
'I should also explain my situation to Dalia and Shane and let them decide if they want to face the possible dangers with me or if they want to search for someone else to help them to drag humanity out of their imprisonment on Canir... Lying to them, won't help any of us, even if I don't know how they might react...'
Sighing, Jason felt extremely uncomfortable about the possible outcome with his masters' talk he had to conduct, better sooner than later.
Spending time with the Fler's, the five of them quietly walked through the destroyed city towards their house, only to notice a large hole in their backyard.
The small house was still standing firmly, which caused everyone to be elevated, as they went inside to make something to eat as if nothing happened.
With the live news about Cyro-City opened on a holographic screen, everyone sat around the table, careful listening, while eating.

Gabriella picked out high-grade beast meat with much nutrition in it because she heard that Jason ate several dozen dishes during each break inside the four-star rift, which caused her to chuckle lightly, as she was reminded when Malia told her this.
Everyone of them had high nutrition demand, but she never thought that Jason wouldn't know about this somewhat unique feature from the Heaven's Hell technique's third level.
She was always astonished about his wide knowledge, however, this caused her to be even more astonished about him not knowing something so simple.
Furthermore, making such a trivial mistake like purchasing a huge bulk of low nutrition dishes, was something she expected from a fool and not from Jason.
'I always forget that he is only 14 years old, huh?' She thought inwardly and it was obvious that the black-haired youth in front of her didn't know everything, which would be extremely weird.
After eating the high-quality meat, Jason felt as if he ascended into heaven because he never ate something so delicious.
Savoring the taste, he already felt full after two servings, which caused him to grin widely.
'I definitely have to purchase high-nutrition meat...If I eat these low-nutrition dishes ever again, I'll have to vomit for several days if not worse…'
With a small smile blossoming, the Fler's also felt satisfied with what they saw.

However, everyone's smile froze, hearing about Cyro-City's damages, how many citizens were now homeless, and the predicted number of casualties from the life broadcast.
Around 20 million citizens turned homeless and the citizens were dissatisfied with how the government handled the situation, while they also lamented about the taxes they paid them for several years, without caring about the dangers they escaped, and Jason felt immediately angered.
"F*cking Idiot!" He mumbled, which caused Gabriella to look at him weirdly.
She was aware that most citizens over-exaggerated the situation, but they lost their home, which allowed them to be enraged, at least to a certain degree.
Mark also noticed Jason's quiet exclamation and said
"You have to consider that most citizens have been protected for their whole life, and for them, it looks like the government is at fault for the last two accidents, which includes the Goblin siege.
They don't care that the government couldn't act better and if the underground shelter didn't exist, these 20 million citizens would not only be homeless but also dead by now… They don't care how expensive the construction of such a shelter is because they only see their taxes being taken away.
In the end, they never faced any real threats head-on which is most likely the biggest issue humanity has to change somehow.
Without each and every human knowing how dangerous the Argos really is, there will always be some imperious ones, thinking that they can demand whatever they want.

Somehow, it seems as if the government is too generous in this aspect, while it neglects other important ones, which is definitely stupid!"
Hearing what Mark said, Jason didn't know how to feel.
From the experience, he gained over the last few months, which started with his journeys through the wild zones, the two beast tides, his adventurous expedition through the four-star rift, and the foreign race arrival a few hours ago, Jason matured a lot.
At least that was what he thought.
This also allowed Jason to think much clearer about the current situation. On one side, the weak humans, were not only selfish but also weak, even though their physique and mana core rank was much higher than most youths, which would prevent many perilous situations if they started to practice combat techniques.
Jiro-City's accident for example wouldn't have killed more than one million citizens, but definitely less than 100.000 if every citizen had been proficient in fighting against beasts.
Sighing deeply, Mark's last sentence, created a mark in Jason's heard
"Too generous and neglecting...huh?" Jason said while thinking about his late mother.
'Why did you leave me here alone? This whole sh*t that currently happens to me is too much for me to comprehend!.... Not only am I presumed to be a halfling, but humanity is also full of shitty individuals...Is the Celestia race's personality better or even worse? Is worse even possible?' He wondered frustrated.

After everyone finished their meal, he fed Artemis a high liquefied magical ranked mana core, she jumped up in joy, before vanishing in the pure-white magic circle that brought her into the soul world.
Scorpio ate almost everything and Jason took out poisoned meat, which Scorpio seemed to love eating in order to comprehend more about the composition of all kinds of poison.
The poisoned meat was not only full of poison but also high in nutrition and mana, which was everything Scorpio needed to increase his strength.
In the end, his expenses were extremely high, but it was more than fine to Jason, who also earned a lot by feeding his soul bonds with expensive food.
It strengthened them and accelerate their maturity process, which would in return amplify his strength even further, due to his high soul world amplification.
Furthermore, there was the fortified soul conjunction that saved his life multiple times.
Furthermore, he wanted his soulbonds to feel good and if better food could bring them happiness, why not?
It was already afternoon and Jason finished his Heaven's Hell practice to calm himself down.
He decided to go to his masters' hideout in order to figure out how Shane felt and when exactly they wanted to leave.

Jason couldn't call any shuttles right now, and sighing deeply, he ordered Artemis to enter his mana core to amplify his strength to his current limit which was the peak of the 1st Expert rank, as he exerted the weightless steps technique to charge towards the school.
Taking a few shortcuts, Jason appeared in front of the school gates slightly more than 90 minutes later, and taking a deep breath, he continued his short trip towards the lake within the forest.
Upon arriving, Jason wondered how he should enter it, as his mana eyes perceived a thick hole within the dome's protection rune, damaging it, while water streamed into his masters' hideous.
Enveloping himself with a mana membrane, he jumped into the lake, and diving down, he squeezed himself through the hole that was most likely created by the Shadow walker's shadow spears.
Entering the dome, he noticed that the water within the dome was flushed out after some time, which made him slightly curious about the runes or technology used to do something like that, as he perceived Shane's weak mana fluctuations.
Rushing into the small hut, he pushed open the wooden door, only to see Dalia taking care of Shane's arm that was previously severed.
His eyes widened and Jason noticed that Shane's arm was already reattached to him.
Staring at him with a weak and almost lifeless gaze, Shane said.
"Jason, is that you? Sorry...I can't really see anything right now, I--"

"Shane!! You are not allowed to talk! Let me!"
Dalia interrupted Shane mercilessly, before she turned to Jason with a weak smile, clearly showing her exhaustion.
"Hello Jason, you're earlier than I thought...I hope the Fler's are fine, but I guess they are, right? As for Shane, his senses are suppressed in order to let his body recuperate the severed bones, flesh, veins, and arteries...He probably won't be able to stay awake for long."
Staring straight into Jason's eyes, she continued
"It's good that you're already here, otherwise, Shane wouldn't be able to see you for some time...Because you're already here, we should talk about our future steps, don't you think so?
I think you already heard us talking about leaving Astrix before the envoys arrived, am I right?"
Nodding his head, Jason returned her gaze, as he gathered all his courage to hesitantly say
"Yes I heard about all of that, but I also have to say something important to both of you"
Jason felt comfortable around the Fler's but in the end, he knew that remaining next to them for his whole life was not what he wanted.
It would hinder his own progress and in the end, it might even endanger them.
