Nobunaga did as asked, taking a sit in front of the general.

  “Are you the only one?” Nobunaga didn’t reply to the question, general Altan noticed his green pupils were unfocused. So, he looked to Sid for answers.

  “No, he did not come alone, there is a sage with him, a professor Yoshiaki but he went off world.”

  General Altan nodded “I thought so” and vanished in the next moment, Sid sighed.

  The general still sat in his office, at least it looked like he still did but the walls and funitures of the office were bare and the whole room had a golden highlight to it, he could still see his sergeant major and the vice chancellor Nobunaga, if he willed. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands and looked up, polar lights and stars twinkled in this part of the void.

  “Come in, sage Yoshiaki Lee.”

  "Storm Commander" professor Yoshiaki replied as he floated into the room.

  "How is the chancellor?”

  “He is well, he sends his regards. You should talk to him about the matters, I am not up to speed on the exact situation” he continued pointing at Nobunaga as came to a stop behind him.

  “I would like us to catch up a little before business, it has been too long wouldn’t you agree?”

  “Fine” he said with a nod “why not”

  “I see, The university of Aniu-lang has succeeded in retaining another talent?” he praised, nodding at Nobunaga.

  Professor Yoshiaki shrugged and the general continued “Good for you guys. It seems your interest in things not aether related is still abysmal.”

  “I couldn’t be bothered. And you, how is your brat?”

  “Niraj, He is doing quite well. Come now, he is hardly a brat anymore, you know.”

  “What tier?”

  “According to what I hear, he has crossed into the 5th tier”

  “At his third decade?” General Altan nodded “Quite the talented brat, old Zhao’s brats were at the 5th tier was in their fourth decade” the smile on general Altan’s face grew “military?” General Altan nodded “Yes, he is following in his father’s foot step, the pressure must be motivating. Be sure to monitor his condition, I don’t need to remind you what pressure has done to many a men.”

  “I will. Enough about me, what about you? Any brat in your future?”

  Confusion overtook professor Yoshiaki’s features “What are you talking about, I couldn’t be bothered to care for a brat, I would just end up killing it.”

  General Altan laughed “Too true, what about Zhao’s brat?”
