After talking in the dining room, Seojun and Seoyang joined the others in the living room.
Nathan and Elshienne, however, were roaming around the house, looking at everything with mild interest.
"How do you like this house?" Seoyang asked them.
Elshienne glanced at her and shrugged. "It's fine… but it feels a bit too old-fashioned. Mom, don't you want to remodel this?"
Seoyang shook her head. "No, I like it this way."
Nathan didn't comnt, but he didn't seem impressed either.
Seoyang then decided to show them around. As she guided them through the house, Alexa and Alex were in the living room, a holographic screen floating in front of them.
Seojun sat down on the couch and glanced at them. "How are things going?"
Alex stretched and leaned back. "The aftermath of the wave has been mostly handled. The cleanup is done, and No monsters attack have happened so far."
Alexa added, "The Awakeners' Association is still monitoring for any hidden threats, but everything's stable. A month has passed, so most cities have recovered well."
Seojun nodded. "That's good."
Alex smirked. "Oh, and guess what? They believe that you defeated the Wave Final Boss so your heroic act especially in Soando Island is still a hot topic among rankers. But thanks to the Association, your identity remains protected."
Alexa grinned. "Though… so people are still curious about you."
Seojun sighed. "Let them be. As long as they don't bother , I don't care."
Nathan and Elshienne, who had returned from roaming the house, rolled their eyes at the conversation.
"Tsk, being mysterious must be fun, huh?" Nathan muttered under his breath.
Ji-hye then ca running out of Seojun's room, carrying a small lion cub in her arms. "Brother, they were so curious about a white-haired boy who appeared at the dungeon boss gate. They said you're so handso! Hehehe!"
Seojun chuckled, but the others in the room attention i in the cub.
"Wait, hold on." Alexa's eyes widened as she stared at the cub. "Whoa… is that a lion cub?"
Ji-hye nodded excitedly as she walked over and sat beside them. "Isn't it cute?! Brother, is this guy also a large beast like Huno and Nymira?!"
Seojun smiled calmly. "Nope, it's just a normal cub."
anwhile, inside Nean's mind, he was panicking.
'Why am I in this situation?! I tried so hard to hide, but this kid pulled out from under that so-called bed!'
John, who had been watching quietly, reached out and picked up the cub, carefully examining him.
"Hmm…" he humd, rubbing his chin.
Alex, however, beca serious. He turned his head toward Seojun, his expression sharp.
"If it weren't for your disguise, we would have had a hard ti protecting your identity. But, Seojun…" he paused for a mont. "You need to re-evaluate your rank, I'm sorry but since you've been discover this is a must do."
Seojun didn't respond right away, just sipping his coffee calmly.
Alexa added, "Don't worry, we'll make sure you can live normally even if people recognize you."
The whole day was busy as everyone was fixing their things, preparing to stay in the house. Boxes were being unpacked, and the once-quiet house beca lively with movent and conversation.
anwhile, Alex and Alexa had things to do and were preparing to leave.
"We have a sudden things to do, so we'll be going," Alex sighed, adjusting his jacket.
Alexa stretched her arms and grinned. "Yeah, but don't miss too much, okay?"
Seoyang sighed but didn't stop them. "Alright, just be careful."
Before leaving, Alex turned to Seojun.
"Also, your beasts need to be added to your identification after your re-evaluation, Seojun. We'll contact you when it's ti."
He gave a reassuring smile and added, "Don't worry, only the Association will know the results."
Seojun nodded, not particularly worried.
"Got it."
As Alex and Alexa left, Ji-hye happily played with Huno and Nymira, while John and Seoyang continued setting things up and nean hide sowhere so Ji-hye can't found him.
After everyone finished setting up, they all gathered on the sofa, relaxing after a long day.
Seojun then introduced Silla, who suddenly appeared in his silver-scaled snake form, his body coiling lightly around Seojun's arm before slithering onto the table.
Nathan picked him up, examining him.
"This guy is the third one? What is his true nature?" he asked curiously.
Ji-hye's eyes sparkled with excitent as she hugged Nymira tightly.
"You're amazing, brother! How are you able to ta so many beasts?! And they're all powerful! Unlike Uncle Thomas—he's the first Beastmaster, but he only has a wolf! Like Nymira! Hehehe!"
Seojun chuckled, shaking his head.
"Nymira isn't a wolf. She's a nine-tailed fox… half-Fenrir."
That made everyone freeze in confusion.
"Fox… half-Fenrir? How does that even happen?" Elshienne asked, frowning.
Seojun didn't want to tell them that Nymira was originally a fox who had been experinted on and transford into a half-Fenrir. He simply let the question hang in the air.
Seoyang then petted Huno, who wagged his tail happily.
"And Huno? What is he? He looks like a big dog."
Seojun smirked slightly. "Huno is a three-headed dog, Mom."
Everyone froze.
"Three-headed?! Wait… a Cerberus?! How did you ta him?! Isn't Cerberus supposed to live in the Underworld?" Elshienne grabbed Huno's face, inspecting him as if checking for extra heads.
Seojun leaned back, arms crossed.
"It's too complicated to explain."
A silence fell over the group as they turned their attention to Huno and Nymira, trying to process the information.
'Just what kind of place did he get summoned to?!' they all thought at the sa ti.
Suddenly, Ji-hye interrupted their thoughts.
"How about Silla, brother?! Is he a large anaconda?!" she asked excitedly.
Seojun shook his head. "Silla is a nine-headed hydra."
"Say WHAT?!"
Their jaws dropped, and their eyes darted back to the silver snake, now resting lazily on the table while Ji-hye took out a book and look for a hydra and jaw drop when she saw how it look 'Waahh, So big!'
Elshienne muttered under her breath, "Wow… just how much mana do you have to be able to ta these high-ranking beasts?"
The room fell silent again, everyone still in shock.
