Chapter 9
Whether selling goods: like flowers, weapons, foods, armors, accessories, clothes, and formal wears. They are happy to sell with pa.s.sion because they are striving for getting income for their families.
Stephen was enjoying his holiday vacation and was walking beside the stalls to shop for his new training shoes.
As he is choosing for brand new shoes (for his current one is worn out due to his training) he then heard a female vendor of fruits that shouted "thief!".
The old man stumbled and the fruits are thrown to the floor.
"Catch him!" she shouted angrily and they grabbed the man.
The female vendor grabbed his hands and wanted to slap him but Stephen stopped her.
"I will pay for him, he is my grandpa!", Stephen lied to cover up for the old man.
"You better feed him or we will beat him up if he will steal again!", The woman shouted to Stephen.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry, It will not happen again," Stephen said sorry to everyone and paid one silver and gave the fruits to the old man.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble but can the old man know your name?", asked the old man.
"I'm Stephen Burg", Stephen said cheerfully.
Stephen walked with him and the old man expressed his grat.i.tude to him unceasingly.
In return, the old man offered his knowledge in ancient arts as well as his guidance but he has to pay food.
"Well isn't it great! to be thought by a plague outbreak survivor and a grandmaster like me. You will be far stronger than your current status!", he said.
Stephen laughed and said "You're joking right? you're a plague survivor? like how old are you now?"
The old man laughed and said, "A hundred and fifty, I forgot and I lost count but I know it's not lower than that."
"Wow really? how did you survive?" Stephen asked.
"Well it's the secret of Holy Magic but it is not an information your young ones can have easily because it's ancient magic that has been forgotten for a long time."
"By the way, let's meet with my old team in the vacant lot near the junkyard."
"Can you imagine the old ones who are war veterans became a beggar asking for food to just eat?"
"We're old and we have no one to go to."
"If we ask for help we've driven away because no one knows who we are!"
"Like they're gonna help an old man who is on deaths bed, the one they don't know.", He said helplessly.
"It's okay Sir, I'm gonna help you in any way I can!", Stephen said vigorously.
"Hohoho! it's like this old man will happily receive your help!", he said while stroking his mane
"No problem!", Stephen replied
They walked to the dark alleys and walked pa.s.s the broken walls, there in the walls there was a wall covered with a cloth.
The old man opened it like a curtain wherein inside, there are eleven old aged persons happily sitting in the campfire.
"I'm here guys! let's have a feast!", the old man said to his teammates.
"Hohoho! well Frank's here!", said the other person with tattered clothes.
"Frank? so he has the same name as the hero Frank.", Stephen said in his mind.
"So guys this is the boy who saved me recently. He is Stephen Burg,", Frank said to them
After he said his name, everyone clapped their hands and said "congrats boy we owe you our meal thus let's have a cheer for Stephen!", said the wrinkled man
"For Stephen!", shouted the other one
"Cheers!", all shouted in unison while Frank holding a banana and the others the fruits they hold then they gave a toast to Stephen who is holding a mango.
"HaHaHaHaha!', Stephen blurted out laughing for he never experienced something so hilarious like this before in his life.
"We know now your name! well, it's our turn to introduce ourselves!", Frank said as they all looked to each other's faces seemingly hiding something.
"Well, we have no choice since we owe him! I'm Frank Williams, and I'm Snap, I'm Baggus, Saber here, call me Splinter, Branmoor, I'm Maldor, Deathbane, Arthras, and Mistiban, call me s.h.i.+npatsu senpai!"
As Stephen hears it while they are introducing one by one, his body trembled and after they finished he collapsed.
He waked up a bit and it was afternoon!
The sun is about to set.
Hey am I dreaming?", Stephen asked
"You're not!", said with a familiar voice.
"Oh it's you Sir Frank!", said Stephen
"Why did you collapsed? is there a problem with our names?", asked Baggus
"I didn't imagine that you're the heroes our kingdom has!", said Stephen to them
"Heroes? we are revered as heroes now?", Frank questioned him.
"Um yes, but it would be unwise of you if you will shout that you're the heroes or the guards will accuse you of being a fake or they will catch you, they will accuse you of being an old man who's crazy.", Stephen explained to them
"Yeah we tried it but we were imprisoned instead, so we switched to beg for food. We just recently arrived at the kingdom but it changed so much and the king who knows us has already perished.", said Frank.
"I'm sorry to hear it Sir Frank but I will surely help you."
"I know a friend who can help."
"It was our friend who owns our current headquarters, but we haven't seen it yet so wait here for tomorrow and I will notify you.", he suggested to sir Frank.
"Hahaha! maybe you need to know [teleport] first! so that you will be here instantly", Baggus said to Stephen.
"Wow really! how do I do it?", he asked excitedly
"First I'm gonna teach you the basics.", Baggus said to him
Baggus and Stephen discussed spatial magic and Stephen successfully made a teleportation rune. He was learning at an extremely fast rate that it shocked everyone.
"Now go home and don't forget to teleport here with your friends.", Baggus said while he said goodbye to Stephen.
Stephen hurriedly went home and he arrived at night.
"Where have you been Stephen? did you enjoyed too much that you forget the time?", asked Isabella.
"Mom actually it's", Stephen whispered all that happened
"Oh! so you collapsed after meeting them", said her mother.
"Well I believe you son but I don't know if the heroes still exist because it's been a hundred years now."
"But I want to meet them sooner If they're real."
"Now son let's eat, for now, your father is currently at Navasca Fortress and he is a.s.signed to training the recruits."
"Your father is busy and can't come home this weekend.", said her mother.
"It's okay mom! I am still enjoying even without him I have friends!", he said
Isabella patted his head and said, "my son is a Good boy now let's eat".
Stephen Changed his clothes and ate dinner with her mother.
He made a teleportation rune outside their house and tried to teleport to Frank's hideout then he appeared to them.
"Oh, so you're successful in making runes now! You're a fast learner!", Baggus was surprised.
"My mom wants to meet you guys, is it okay to disturb you for a minute?", requested Stephen
"Of course! let's teleport mates and greet the mother of our savior.", said Frank to the heroes
They teleported to Stephen's house and they met her mother Isabella.
"h.e.l.lo come into our house! let's talk inside.", she said courteously.
They came inside and Frank introduced himself as well as his companions.
"I'm Frank Williams and this is Snap, Baggus, Saber, he is Splinter, Branmoor, Maldor, Deathbane, Arthras, Mistiban, and s.h.i.+npatsu."
"If you noticed something maybe it's just a coincidence.", said Frank humbly
Isabella laughed and said, "Don't be so humble sir Frank, I know you're the real deal."
"Make yourselves at home, sit first at the bench and wait a minute for I'm gonna prepare a snack.", she said to them
"No it's okay we were fine", said Frank but suddenly
"Blurrrrp"
Frank's stomach made a sound.
Isabella giggled and went hurriedly to the kitchen.
"We olds sure gets hungry easily huh", said Frank
"Heheheheh", s.h.i.+npatsu laughed.
Isabella carried cookies and Stephen helped her mother carry the orange juice.
They drank and is merrily talking to each other and Frank told his story when they met with Stephen.
According to Frank, they visited their relatives just recently but they were cast out for their sons and daughters were already dead. While their Granddaughters didn't even recognize them.
So they ended up with these current situations.
Isabella said to them to stay here for the night while they are finding a place to rest.
"Hey let's take a bath first! I'm so smelly!", Saber protested to Frank.
"Okay everyone let's take a bath! a.s.semble at the well!", Frank commanded them.
They hurriedly went outside and made a platoon.
Frank stood at the front while his hands are in his back then he made a simple speech.
"Our trials for the past years are not so simple but we succeed in sealing the Tirad Pa.s.s, but as we returned home one hundred years has already pa.s.sed and all our relatives didn't recognize us, even our sons and daughters have pa.s.sed away."
"We may be forgotten but we will continue to protect the kingdom."
"Now that we are old, the seal will gradually weaken and it will come to pa.s.s that it will be breached."
"I have a proposition, We will revert to our younger selves with our memories intact by sacrificing our Peak stage universe realm Mana well and our body, as well as our power."
"We will become like thirteen years old with our memories intact."
"So how about it? Frank said.
"So you will have to cast Rebirth to us?", Baggus questioned.
"Well like we have a choice", Splinter added.
"So now we will create a rune", said Frank
Baggus stomped his feat then the ground glowed with runes, he then said: "Done!"
"Okay next is to burn your Mana as I cast it to the runes", said Boggus.
They all encircled the rune and Frank cast [Rebirth].
Their body and the rune glow as they all shouted, their Mana well decreases and their body is gradually getting younger.
It took an hour and they were successful.
"This is the most sacred spell a Holy Priest has", Stephen said while he holds her mother's hands.
"Huh huh huh", Frank panted and now is a young boy. They are drenched in sweat that has mixed with impurities in their bodies.
His clothes are now bigger than him and he is shorter than Stephen's.
"Noooo! I became short again! my Mana well is like a first stage earth realm now and my Mana regeneration is now of a beginner.", said Frank in dismay
"Hey Frank my Mana has decreased drastically, every single one of us is a one-man army now look at us, we're like a bunch of cry babies."
"We don't have our power anymore so how are we gonna protect our kingdom", Mistiban questioned him.
"HaHaHaHaha! didn't you forget that we still have a century of experiences and memories! all we have to do is to train ourselves again!", Frank said to Mistiban.
"Hahahahaha! I didn't think of it, you're a genius! and about our clothes.", Mistiban pondered.
"Oh, I Have tons of clothes!" Stephen said.
"Stephen lend them your clothes!", Isabella commanded him.
Stephen then takes all his clothes from his big wardrobe and carried it outside.
"Here mom!", he said while carrying the clothes he had and gave it to each one of them.
They all washed at the well and they haven't feel refreshed because they haven't washed for months.
Stephen and his mother prepared for their supper and the Grandmasters didn't waste their time to cultivate their Mana well and practicing their basic skills.
"Hey, Frank let's play outside for now" Saber suggested.
"Huh? so you wanna challenge me at playing Dodge ball?", asked Frank
"Yep!", Saber replied.
"Attention everyone let's play dodge ball!", he announced to everyone
"Okay! alright! we haven't experienced fun for some time", said Saber.
"Let's all go out!", he added
They hurriedly went outside and played.
They displayed their experience in the field even they're in their kid's form.
"Hit me, Saber!", Maldor challenged him.
"Here dodge this!", he replied
Stephen watched it for some time and he enjoyed watching it.
"Hey, Stephen come play with us!", Frank said to him.
"Heheheheh okay let's go!", he replied to their request
Stephen then played with them and he never felt honored to play with the heroes.
"Okay let's play!", he said
They played outside and he gave his best to evade the incoming b.a.l.l.s that are thrown at him.
After they played Isabella called them to eat.
"Wow, this is like a feast! look at the grilled chicken, the beefsteak, chopped grilled pork, and pork soup mixed with tamarind.",
"Hoooo! I'm drooling to the foods!", Stephen said to them
Stephen was looking at the foods her mother prepared and the other kids can't wait to eat.
They sat at the seats and they all made a prayer before the meal.
"Now before we eat I would like to talk for a bit. Would you like to be my adopted sons and go to school tomorrow?", asked Isabella
Everyone was shocked and was speechless.
"Well at your age you have to go to school!', she added.
Frank was astonished by her proposal.
"Well we don't have a choice, either way, it's like we have a home to sleep into anyway", said Frank.
"Yes, school!", s.h.i.+npatsu shouted with joy and they all laughed.
s.h.i.+npatsu, as well as Deathbane, didn't experience this in their life so they are excited.
"So that means we will call ourselves brothers!", Arthras exclaimed.
"And Stephen is our younger brother!" Snap and Saber said in chorus.
"So that means we're together in this family?" Stephen asked.
"So that means we're gonna enroll at the academy using your family's name!" Frank said to Stephen.
"Uhm our family name is Burg", Stephen said to them.
"Hmmm, Frank Burg, not a bad name! hehe! I'm excited", said Frank.
"Yes, we're brothers! thank you Mom", Stephen leaped in joy.
"Before we eat, today is your rebirth day so that means today we're all your birthdays too!", Isabella said to them with joy.
"Yes happy birthday!", everyone chorused then Baggus cast small fireworks and sparkling fountain and congratulate everyone including himself.
"They have their memories of their olds but they are behaving like kids now. I think their minds became like kids too after their rebirth", Stephen said to himself.
"Okay let's eat!" Stephen said and they ate like never before for they didn't eat these kinds of foods for decades.
The merry mood continued until they finished their foods.
They helped each other in was.h.i.+ng the dishes and they went to sleep at Stephen's room.
Isabella gave them bed sheets, blankets, and pillows after they cleaned the floor.
They slept earlier today because they felt tired for the day.
Isabella was happy that her home now is full of joy and she notified her husband earlier via crow who happened to reply here with a "yes" next morning.
The next morning....
After Stephen waked up they are all up and they finished folding their blankets.
He went downstairs and her mom is preparing for their breakfast, deep inside she was happy to serve them with gladness.
She was slicing vegetables and spices for the meantime and is smiling.
Frank and his brothers helped her in preparing and the room is quite lively.
"Stephen good morning!", Isabella said to him.

"Morning mom! everyone is quite busy you need help?" Stephen asked.
"Uhm we don't, just look at us twelve we don't have any task for you. Just wash first and do your exercises", Isabella suggested.
Stephen then went to the well and he takes off his upper clothes.
He gets a bucket of water then he poured some to his back.
He still can't believe that he has now brothers helping her mother.
He himself is excited to train with them after they finished cooking.
He is contemplating what will he train after he washed his body.
He takes the towel and went inside the house.
"Okay everyone I will do the rest and you all wash", Isabella said to them.
"Okay, mom!" Frank said to her and then Stephen laughed.
"Can I call you old brother now?", Stephen asked.
"Yes of course! Right guys!", Frank said.
"Yes, of course, we're brothers now", Branmoor replied to him.
"Everyone let's go to the well! attack!" they went gleefully.
Stephen went upstairs and changed his clothes.
He puts the weights in his arms and legs then he stretched himself for several minutes.
He exercised his fighting techniques and his sword skills.
He then lifted and swing the heavy hammer then thumping the anvil again.
He rested and expanded his Mana well again and then improved his conjuration.
As he was resting his brothers are outside jogging around the house improving their stamina first, which is currently led by Frank.
They executed push-ups, sit-ups, and curl-ups, then they cultivated their Mana well.
After their cultivation, they practiced their basics and their hidden skills.
They managed to went to the bottleneck of the first stage of Mana in a short time.
They rested and then Isabella called them for breakfast.
They went inside and left their slippers outside.
They sat at the chairs and waited for Isabella to sit.
Isabella sits and then Frank said to her "Uhm Isabella we have a favor to ask you, can we all call you Mom if it happens we're at school and when someone is watching. So that they will not doubt us", Frank asked her
"Yes of course, even at home! Is that all?", she said.
"Well that settles it for now", Frank said as he sighed.
"Let's eat!" Isabella said and then they all ate and changed their clothes to Stephen's uniforms.
Stephen has many uniforms but Isabella will buy another set of clothes and uniforms.
"We will go to school together so that you will be enrolled today with a parent", she said to them.
They walked together to the school and s.h.i.+npatsu is singing while others are excited to arrive at the school.
They arrived without a problem In the way and s.h.i.+npatsu said: "whoa it's so big!".
"Of course it's big!", Stephen replied.
"Look at yourself you're smaller than before", Mistiban said to him.
"Let's enroll you all to be freshmen students to the office and Stephen you go to your cla.s.s", Isabella instructed him.
Stephen waved to them and he went to his cla.s.s.
He walks to the hallway and then found Patrick outside the room.
"Hey, Patrick how are you?", He waved his hands and replied to him with "I'm fine!".
"So what's the news?", he asked.
"Don't be surprised but I have brothers now!", said Stephen
"Huh! when?", he asked
"Just yesterday bro!", Stephen replied
"huh! how?", he asked
"Uhm I found them being beggars so I helped them but don't be surprised, they have the same names as the heroes", Stephen said to him
"Oh! so your mother has named them after the heroes when she adopted them", Patrick concluded.
"Yeah right! ahahahahaha", Stephen scratches his head as he laughed low.
"Okay let's get inside! our teacher's coming!', Stephen said to Patrick
Stephen walked inside and there he was waiting for Stella to arrive.
He sits while waiting for her then he scanned his books about the introduction of magic that his teacher gave.
He was scanning and then Stella surprised him.
Stephen closed his books and then he looked at her.
"Hey did you hear the news? we have a new student in the section next to us, they are in section B, in Hanna's room! they have names like the heroes."
"I thought they are the descendants of the heroes itself!" She said as she smiled at him.
"Oh really? they're at the next room?", Stephen said in astonishment.
"Yeah! so how about we meet them later!", she requested.
"Yeah let's meet them later", Stephen said with a.s.surance.
When Stephen and Stella were talking, their teacher arrived and started the cla.s.s.
It was Sir Maldous who will teach them swordsmans.h.i.+p.
They went outside for they will practice with swords then some sparring sessions with each other.
Stephen fell in line as they were arranged by Sir Ernstine.
They formed like a platoon while holding swords.
Sir Maldous was holding a claymore in his hands and is making instructions.
"Hey buddy what do you think will sir make us do?" asked someone beside him.
"I don't know what, but I think we will practice swings and trusts using these sticks.", Stephen answered.
"Oh really! so we will be practicing the basics huh, by the way, I'm Gerson Baltros, an earth element nice to meet you", he said while he offered his hands.
"Well I'm Stephen a Holy elemental cla.s.s.", replied Stephen
They shake hands and chatted about their backgrounds.
Well, Gerson's father is a businessman and her mother is an officer at the army.
He is trained by her mother who casually insists him to train hard while she's gone to work.
They laughed about how his mother and father met and how they ended up together.
While they were talking Sir Maldous gave them a scold because they are not attentive.
"I'm making instructions here and you're not listening, as a punishment you do a thousand swings at the back!", he said
"Yes sir!" they replied.
"Now for the rest, you copy my swings as I make an example of my moves", he said while he gave instructions to the students.
They started their practice with a left to right swings then right to left accompanied with trusts and vertical swings.
Gerson and Stephen started their thousand swings but he enjoyed it instead with a companion.
"One hundred one"
"one hundred two"
They swing until they arrived at five hundred.
"Hooah! I'm getting weary my friend but we're still halfway there", he said to Stephen while he's still swinging.
Stephen cast [Minor heal] to him and he was amazed.
"I didn't know that holy magic is this useful"
"My fatigue has gone! you've gained my respect friend!", he said then they continued on until they finished a thousand.
"Hey Stephen and Gerson come here", sir Maldous called upon them to join them at their practice.
Sir Maldous lead the swings and they followed his movements.
They followed him for two hours and next is to do sparring by pairs, so they need to find their partner.
"Hey let's pair together Stephen", Gerson asked him.
"Okay!", He replied.
They arranged themselves and Stephen found a good spot to do sparring with him at the side of the training ground.
"Okay let me draw a circle and the one who steps outside will lose", said Gerson.
He made a circle with a ten-meter radius while Stephen helped him.
After they finished, he stands facing Gerson then he swings his wooden sword left and right with his right hand.
"Hey Gerson, don't hold back fighting me okay!", Stephen said to him.
"Okay don't blame me with the outcome", he replied.
He wields the sword and then he cast earth magic [weight gain] on the sword, making it heavier and harder to the enemy who will receive but is light as a feather to the user.
He also trusted it to the ground and then said: "come!"
Stephen approached him hastily making the ground caved in because of his force and then he swings his sword to him.
But he evaded Stephen's swing then he lifted his sword from the ground and then tried to hit him, but Stephen blocked it with his sword and he was blown away.
"Gerson is a [heavy hitter]!", Stephen exclaimed.
His weapon is packed with a hundred kilograms of weight.
Stephen attacked again but he was blown away, he was still inside the line and he trusted his sword to the ground when he was blown.
Gerson again trusted his sword to the ground.
"Hehehe you're strong friend, it's like my mistake for not being serious in this match", Stephen said to him while he removed his weights.
Clang!
The weights made a sound that even Gerson heard from where he stands.
"You're using weights!", Gerson was dumbstruck to Stephen.
Stephen then sprinted to him and makes a vertical slash then Gerson responded with a horizontal slash, but Stephen made a feint and ducks, evading his strike and turned while he landed a strike.
Stephen was faster now and he can land a strike.
He clashed his sword with him several times but can only parry it in the last seconds.
They clashed several times and the ones who are around them stopped their fight and watched them.
Stephen slashed him with all his power but he suddenly felt extreme pain that made him stop his attack halfway through, this is because of the strain of the impact of the sword on Stephen's body resulting in Gerson's fatal strike making him blown out the line.
"Are you okay?", he asked while he offered his hand and then cleaned Stephen's clothes full of dirt.
"Woah, men! I didn't think that you have a secret ability hiding in your sleeves!", Stephen said in shock.
"Nah it's just the weight of the Sword", Gerson said to him.
They gathered after their practice and sir Maldous made an announcement.
"Everyone remembers this practice and seal it to your mind for it will help you defend yourself in the future! now cla.s.s dismissed!", he ended his speech while hurrying to leave.
They finished their cla.s.s and returned to their room.
Stephen gained a new friend and eventually have a great experience that his acquaintance shared with him.
He walked to his cla.s.sroom and there Stella was waiting for him.
"You're late!" she said to him.
"Didn't I said that we will visit them later!" she said while pouting her mouth.
"Okay I'm here now so let's go!", said Stephen
Many students are walking in the hallway and are bringing their snacks with them after they bought it to the canteen.
Outside the cla.s.sroom door, they are chatting nonchalantly with their friends about their new cla.s.smates.
The Heroes are gathering in the back and are talking to other cla.s.smates.
Hanna was one of them who are observing carefully sitting on the desk of the chair and her legs to the other.
"Hey Stephen come and join us, this is Frank and the others are Maldor, Branmoor, Snap, Arthras, Baggus, Mistiban, s.h.i.+npatsu, Deathbane, Saber, and Splinter. They have the same name as the Heroes! and they have the same family name with you!?", Hanna said to Stephen while wondering.
"Ah it's because", Stephen whispered to her and she shouted.
Stephen told her to shut her mouth and that it's a secret.
She nodded at him but Stella was furious.
"Hey what's the secret Huh? you're telling her but not me? hump!", she snubbed him and never said a word again.
"Hey Stephen let's all go home together", Mistiban said to him.
"Sure!", Stella replied to him.
In the afternoon cla.s.s, they meditate to expand their mana until the time.
Stephen broke through the third stage of mana well as well as Patrick, and Stella, well she's in the bottleneck of the second stage.
Stephen and Stella, as well as Patrick, went to the other room to where Hanna is and they gathered together.
"Hey Patrick this is the new students of room B they're acquaintances of mine", Stephen introduced them.
They are so popular on the first day of their cla.s.s and the school is starting to have rumors.
"So they're the rumored grandsons of the Heroes and they are from Burg family", he said while offering his hands.
"I'm Patrick nice to meet you", he said while they shake hands.
"Um we will be going in separate ways this time, we're going home and I will have to send Hanna home", he said to them.
Hanna and Patrick said goodbye to their new friends and the Heroes, as well as Stephen and Stella.
"These kids have talents, I hope they will be someone big in the future", Deathbane said to them.
"Patrick and Hanna walked outside the gates, so we're going home together huh," Said Stella.
They walk to their home and Stella is questioning them one by one that shows her curiosity about them.
While they are talking, Baggus shared his experiences about today's lessons and said that the magic he has been thought is ancient.
The lessons are newly developed magic made for the convenience of the caster.
He was excited to learn all these techniques for the first time in this life.
Then suddenly the sky went dark and there the clouds began to whirl from the direction of the North where the seal is located.
The seal has been destroyed and extreme sadness strikes the heroes' hearts.
The Heroes knew that the seal won't last long after the pa.s.sing of their friend who is maintaining the seal.
She sacrificed herself for too long and she was the sole reason why the Heroes didn't come back for almost hundreds of years.
She is Naphtalie Selfyed, a Grand seal caster of the wizard realm.
She was taken care of the Heroes while she maintains the barrier.
In her last moments she sacrifices her remaining soul to make the barrier last longer, she said to Frank while lying on his feet "Go to the kingdom and warn the people, enjoy the rest of your lives and unite the people to arms when the time comes".
This is the last words she said to the team and then her soul fused with the seal.
She can't partake in the [rebirth] because her mana well has been already sacrificed for the seal.
For them the real hero was Naphtalie and because of her, the kingdom has a peaceful time.
The Heroes cried and Stella didn't know why they're crying.
The mood is somewhat different from before when they are happily talking with each other.
They arrived home somewhat sad and while Stephen opened the gate, Stella was shocked that they live in the same house!.
"Sorry because I didn't tell you, but we're the Burg Brothers", Stephen explained to her.
Stella was shocked that they're brothers!
"Surprise! you didn't expect it don't you", Stephen said.
"You cheater! so I know now why you whispered it to Hanna.", she said while punching him at his shoulders.
"Hey, I'm sorry! I surprised you didn't I", Stephen said to her.
"How did you became brothers?", She asked.
Stephen then explained everything to her but didn't tell her that they are the real Heroes.
"Oh, so that explains it! You found them being beggars and you make them stay at your house, then your mother adopted them."
"So you have brothers now! whoa, what a great story! it's like the story of the good Samaritan."
"Stella it's not like that, it's just a win-win process, they help mom and mom help them.", Stephen explained further.
"Oh! okay let's meet again tomorrow, I have something to do, I need to go home first.", Stella said as she waved to the heroes and the heroes said goodbye.
At the entrance, their mother is standing and Frank said out loud.
"Men line up!', he shouted and they lined up and blessed one by one, Stephen included and after that, they changed clothes.
They helped clean the house, others are sweeping the floors while others are cleaning the backyard.
After that, they prepared for dinner and practiced again until night.
