The only way to know is after I tell him the truth


    "I had stolen this bow in ''Artefacts Room'' When a fallen human attacked there, we were going to die if I could do nothing so I had no choice but to steal it and use it and it''s thanks to this bow that I''m alive right now."


    There you go, I told everything true and now let''s see his reaction.


    Yato''s expression remained unreadable as he absorbed my confession. His gaze seemed to prate through me, assessing the sincerity of my words.


    After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke, "I see."


    His responsecked judgment or condemnation. Instead, there was a calm eptance, as if he had expected such an answer.


    "Nightshadow''s Bow is a powerful artefact. It''s not surprising that someone would resort to extreme measures to obtain it, especially in a life-or-death situation."


    He acknowledged the weight of my decision. The repercussions were evident, and I had willingly plunged into aplex web of consequences.


    But even he acknowledged my decision I had to conform to something.


    I took a deep breath. "It wasn''t very right of me to do that, was it?"


    "What are you talking about?" Yato looked at me with a confused frown as if I had said somethingpletely ridiculous.


    "I mean, I''m a hero and I steal a Legendary rank artefact," I pointed out. "I shouldn''t have done that. Which isn''t right–"


    Yato of me off. "Lucas, right now, you are weak. And the weak have to do whatever takes to survive. You already told me that if you hadn''t used Nightshadow bow in the artifact room then you wouldn''t be alive and yourrade also most likely be dead."


    "As for your decision to take Night Shadow''s bow yourself, I say it''s a good decision because of that decision you are life and so is your friend."


    "..."


    Whoa! I don''t even know what to say! I''m lost for words. Now that I think about it what he had to say is true.


    At that time I became greedy so I stole a legendary rank artefact, I knew that it was going to help me in future but because of Nightshadow, I saved my life many times.


    "What''s your mana core rank, by the way?" Yato''s voice brought me back to reality.


    "Ahh," I shook my head to rearrange my thoughts before answering. "B rank. My potential is B rank."


    "Mhmm, a shame," Yatomented. "But I think you have a talent for martial arts."


    "...I guess?"


    I mean, I know I have a talent for martial arts. From what I know from Lucas''s memory, he always practised with his father in martial arts until Evelyn broke up with him.


    After his break up with her he stopped  his practice martial arts practice with his father, that''s where my memoryes to an end.


    "What is your current rank?"


    "It''s [E] rank."


    "I see, that''s very fast progress considering that your only potential is B rank."


    ''Is that apliment or an insult?'' I thought with a bitter smile but only I know the truth that after taking Luminar Crystal my potential became [limitless], So let''s go with apliment.


    "Today all of you going back to Academy City, so meet me in the training ground of Nova Academy at 5:30."


    My eyes widened as I heard those words. What does he mean by those words? Is alsoing to Nova Academy?


    "Sir Yato, are you alsoing to Nova Academy?"


    "I can go anywhere in this world and no one is capable of stopping me." He said with a smirk on his face.


    ''Cheeky Bastard.''


    "I see, then I will see you tomorrow I guess?"


    "Hmm, you can go now," Yato said to me.


    "But sir about that CCTV video," I said as I pointed toward the video that was still ying background.


    Yato''s gaze lingered on me for a moment before he shifted his attention to the holographic disy. The video continued to y, showcasing the intensity of the battle and the pivotal moment when Nightshadow''s Bow unleashed its power.


    "Ah! Don''t worry about this CCTV footage of your involvement in the recent events," Yato said, his tone measured, "I don''t intend to disclose this information to Miss Lillian or anyone else. I will delete this video."


    I nodded again, relieved by the leniency he showed.


    "Good. We will conclude our discussion here. Make sure you fulfil your promise, Lucas."


    With those final words, Yato stood up, leaving the holographic disy hanging in the air. I followed suit, grateful for the chance to exit the room and process the whirlwind of events.


    As I stepped out, I couldn''t shake the feeling that Yato held more knowledge and power than I couldprehend.


    The mysterious hero, Yato, seemed to operate on a different level, his actions and decisions guided by a depth of understanding that surpassed the ordinary. The journey ahead felt even more uncertain, with the enigma of Yato lingering in the background.


    As I left the conference room, the weight of the recent revtions pressed upon me.


    Exiting the room, I found myself in a corridor of the mansion. The atmosphere was subdued, and the air seemed to hold the gravity of the secrets concealed within the walls.


    I walked through the corridor, contemting the events that had unfolded. The encounter with Yato, the theft of Nightshadow''s Bow, the battles against the NewSun Organization and Tony – each piece of the puzzle addedplexity to the narrative.


    Reaching the exit, I stepped into the open air, the cool breeze carrying a sense of liberation.


    The journey back to Nova Academy loomed ahead. Yato''s unexpected presence at the academy added anotheryer of intrigue. The dynamics of power and knowledge in this world continued to elude my understanding.


    As I pondered these thoughts, a voice interrupted my contemtion. "Lucas!"


    Turning around, I saw Adrian approaching, a mix of concern and curiosity in his eyes.


    "Hey, how did it go with Yato?" Adrian asked, his gaze searching for any clues in my expression.


    "He''s an enigma," I replied, trying to convey theplexity of the situation. "But he agreed not to disclose certain information. I''m supposed  to meet him at the training ground in Nova Academy tomorrow."


    Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Yato at Nova Academy? That''s unexpected."


    "Tell me about it," I said, still processing the implications.


    Adrian nodded in understanding.


    With a shared sense of determination, we headed towards the transportation portal where the rest of the students where waiting to go back to Nova Academy.
