Kingsman Return

Kingsman Academy

'My darling boy, if you are reading this, it means that I and your father are no longer by your side. By the time you get this, we would already be very far away from you. We don't know when we would be back or when our task would be done, but we will assure you that we will do everything in our power to get back to you.'

'Your father and I have made some preparations for you in the event of our disappearance, but in the meantime, you should make the best of the situation that you find yourself in and don't ever forget all that we have taught you because it would be the capital that you will need to face the world by yourself. Take care of yourself and know that in the box is your greatest assurance and that only when you are strong enough, then will you have the right to know all the things you need to. In this world, strength is all you need. Love, mom.'

Arran finished reading the letter from his parents for the third time.

Immediately after the assembly, Arran was led to a ground carrier and was taken to a place where he received some papers of identification and some basic necessities before being taken to his current place of residence.

He would be taken to the Kingsman academy tomorrow where he would have to spend the next few years learning.

Arran did not know what to expect tomorrow from the academy, but with time to himself, he decided to go through the letter from his parents again.

He was able to confirm a few points from doing so.

First, he was able to confirm that his parents expected him to attract the attention of the Aeth. This further confirmed the fact that they were in fact not humans but Aeth.

Thinking back, it was pretty easy to believe.

He had never been to any medical institutes during his time on earth and all his health issues had been under the supervision of his parents only. At the time, he had thought that it was because of their occupation as international mercenaries, but with the current information, he knew that was most likely not the case.

The second point was that there was a very important secret that his parents and the upper echelon of the Aeth knew that he did not. This secret had to do with why he and his parents were on Earth in the first place and why they had in their possession the treasure of the Aeth race. Whatever this secret was, it was great enough for his parents to send their only child back to their people and go off on their own in a bid to complete some task.

This was the most important thing that he was able to confirm and he had a hunch that whatever it was, he had a vested personal interest in it

Finally, the last thing he understood was that he as he was had no business knowing what this secret was. According to his parents, strength was all one needed in this world, and he was not strong enough to know anything.

So his first mission right now was to become strong and powerful. So strong that his mere presence would entitle him to the knowledge of the various secrets of the universe and so powerful that he would be able to bear the storms that would blow his way.

Having confirmed his goal, Arran closed his eyes and slept soundly for the very first time since this entire thing started.

….

The Kingsman royal academy was the most elite academic institution of the entire Aeth race. It may have the name Kingsman academy, but it catered to the entire private force of the royal and noble families. Here they groomed and taught commanders and warriors that would have the responsibility of guarding and conquering new territories for the Aeth race.

From the research Arran had done, he knew that the universe was separated into lower, middle, great, high, and mystic realms respectively.

The Aeth race were natives of a high realm and after intense wars and battles, they were able to become the overlords of the entire high realm. That meant that the entire resources of a high realm were at their disposal.

This was not the end for they also had tight control over the resources of other great, middle, and lower realms. This did not count into consideration the resources that were gotten from expeditions into other upper realms.

All this served to show the immense power of the entire Aeth race. To be able to control so much territory, the Aeth set up various military academies to be used to provide talents for the race, and the chief of these academies was the Kingsman royal academy.

Around the prime Etherium world was a small cluster of natural satellites that revolved around the world. Each of these satellites was the size of planet earth and some of these were even larger. The Kingsman royal academy was located in one of these satellites. It shared a similar ecosystem with the main planet, with rolling purple clouds and intense magnetic storms.

As Arran made his way into the main grounds of the academy, Arran was filled with a sense of magnificence.

At the very front of the main gate was a wall that was so high that it seemed to reach into the clouds. The wall was also very long that Arran could not see the end of it anywhere on the horizon. Looking closely, there were also small scribbles that were made on the wall that Arran recognized to be a list of names.

By the side, Commander Margo who escorted him here said, "this is the wall of glory. The names that are inscribed onto the walls are the names of all the Aeth that have graduated and contributed to the development of the whole race."

"Since the inauguration of this academy tens of millennia ago, there have been countless talents that have been produced here and each one of them is considered one of the elites even in this vast universe. It is your honor that you have been given the opportunity to study here, so cherish it."

Arran nodded solemnly when he heard that and they started walking into the academy. They passed building after building and Arran saw a lot of people making their way through the school. The people were too many to count and they each gave Arran a different feeling. But amongst them all, the people all gave off a feeling of confidence.

As they made their way inside, Commander Margo said to him, "everything that you need has already been prepared for you and I'll just be handing you over to your instructor who will be in charge of your training."

"I'll not have the time to personally watch over you nor will I, but I'll be around if you have any special concerns since I won't be leaving for any task anytime soon, so if you have anything that does not need my attention, you can get help from the academy. Do you understand me?"

Arran nodded. Of course, he did not expect Margo who was usually busy to put everything aside to take care of him. It was already enough that he had someone to go to in time of need if he had a need for anything else.

Margo nodded and said, "you are one of us now, so rest assured that we will always take care of our own." After saying so, she led Arran to a building that gave off intense and powerful waves.
