The worst thing that could happen to Lucifer at the moment was having to fight General Rasin. However, the second worst situation was being assigned a babysitter in the form of a General. The latter was what actually happened, making him very disappointed.
He had been waiting to gather all the stone fragments for a long time and wanted to use them as soon as possible. However, now that he had the stone fragments, he couldn't even use them directly. He first had to find a safe space where he could use the stone safely without being detected by the Star Alliance, and that seemed impossible now!
He couldn't even say that he didn't want that. If he said that, it meant that he didn't want to learn their skills and didn't think they were worthy of him. With one rejection, he could offend almost every General here. He really was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
"Do you have any objections?" The Queen asked Lucifer. Lucifer could only agree with the Queen.
"No objections. It would be my honor to learn from Senior."
'Since it'll take a month to train my own people as the Ship Crew, I should have one month. I should be able to learn the ice skills from the old man in the meantime. After that, I can probably leave my clone here with him to learn more as I sneak out.'
Even though the situation was a headache and trying to fool a General wasn't easy, he still tried to look at the positive side. At the moment, he wanted to gather as much strength as he could.
"Good. Then it's decided. You can all leave now," the Queen commanded. All the Generals stood up and started leaving.
Even as he left, the old man of Rasin Clan still glared at Lucifer.
"Lucifer, you stay behind for a moment. I have something to talk to you about." As Lucifer was about to leave, the Queen stopped him
The Generals who still hadn't left were slightly surprised. Just what could the Queen need him for? Unfortunately, they couldn't stay behind to listen. Even the old Administrator left the room to wait for Lucifer outside after he was done talking with the Queen.
Lucifer stayed behind, all alone in the room with the Queen. The doors behind him were closed to ensure that no one outside could hear what they were talking about.

An hour has passed. The old Administrator was still waiting for Lucifer outside the royal room, but he wasn't alone. Raayi and Ron were also waiting for him, along with their grandfathers.
"Old Ostrin, why don't you leave? Why are you waiting for my disciple?" Raayi's grandfather asked Ron's grandfather in a taunting tone.
"Screw you! Who is your disciple? It's a rotating position. Just because you're teaching him, he doesn't become your disciple. I'll be teaching him too!" Ron's grandfather scoffed.
"It doesn't change the fact that I'm his teacher for now," General Nimel smirked.
"You're just assigned to teach him as you stay with him. He isn't assigned to you. You are assigned to him. So you need to be where he is. Since Lucifer has promised my Grandson to accompany him to our clan, that's what I'm waiting for."
"Since you're his teacher for now, you can come as well. Don't worry; I'll feed you plenty of delicacies in my home. You don't have to worry." General Ostrin laughed.
A General never went to another General's home. But since Nimel was assigned to Lucifer, he had to be where Lucifer was! That meant General Ostrin could bring him home and increase his reputation.
"You wouldn't want Lucifer to break his promise by stopping him, will you? You know how impossible a promise is to the Star Alliance?" General Ostrin laughed. He had General Nimel exactly where he wanted.
General Nimel who was smug until now went silent suddenly. His face started twitching.
"You-"
Before he could speak anything, the door opened.
"Finally, he comes out," Ron sighed. It's been an hour. He couldn't help but wonder just what it was that Lucifer and the Queen discussed, which took such a long time.
Unfortunately, he also knew like everyone else that he couldn't ask. Since the Queen only asked him to stay behind, it was a privileged conversation that couldn't be shared.
"Lucifer?" As Lucifer stepped out, the others were slightly surprised. He appeared a bit different. He looked grim and slightly angered.
"Are you alright?" Ron's grandfather asked, placing his hand on the young man's shoulder. "Did something happen?"
Lucifer shook his head. "Nothing happened. I'm fine."
Lucifer didn't say much. Even though his words said that he was fine, but his face was telling an entirely different story. Something definitely happened inside the chamber, but they didn't know what.
Since Lucifer wasn't willing to answer, they couldn't force him either. They could only hope that it was something he could deal with alone.

In the next few days, Lucifer was assigned his ship and the temporary crew until he selected ones for himself. The temporary crew was responsible for helping Lucifer.
At the same time, Lucifer had also sent some people from the Star Alliance to earth with his message. He gave them a list of names from Earth about the people that he wanted on his crew.
Now it was Star Alliance's responsibility to bring them here and train them. He was sure that the Star Alliance could at least handle that much. If he weren't busy, he would've gone himself.
However, he had promised Ron that he was going to go to his world to learn the mysteries of the Dark Lightning. After his decay, his dark Lightning was his most explosive skill and also his original skill. He wanted to make it stronger no matter what.
For some reason, he was even more eager to get stronger ever since he came out of the Royal Chamber after the discussion with the Queen. n)-O1n
Raayi's grandfather didn't want to go to the World controlled by the Clan of Ron's family, but he didn't have the choice. He had to accompany Lucifer, so he had to tag along.
Surprisingly, even Raayi joined on the trip with her grandfather, giving him the excuse that she wanted a small vacation. However, it didn't take her grandfather long to realize the true reasoning behind her.
It was clear to him that his granddaughter just wanted to be closer to Lucifer. He didn't have any objections either. If that's what she wanted, he was fine with it since Lucifer was certainly someone who had the potential to stand above everyone else in the future!
With the kind of potential he had, he was certainly special.
It was the first time Two Generals were right in a place that wasn't the Star Alliance headquarters, and it wasn't for a fight!
The Ostrin Clan prepared extensively to welcome General Nimel. No matter what, he was still the ancestor of the Nimel Clan, which was a clan that was on the same level as the Ostrin Clan! Just like the Nimel Clan, the Ostrin Clan also controlled the world!
Moreover, the journey was done through the ship of Lucifer that was just assigned to him.
A Captain Rank ship moved in the back, surrounded by Two General ranked ships which were there to protect them! The entire fleet contained a total of twenty ships which was a power that could destroy quite a few worlds at once!
The Captain Rank ship of Lucifer was the one ship other than the two General Rank ships that were allowed to pass through the protective shield of the Ostrin Clan's territory. These three were also the only ships that landed on the surface right outside the city where Ostrin Clan stayed.
All the Ostrin Clan members were here to welcome their Ancestor who rarely came back home. General Ostrin mostly stayed in the Star Alliance headquarters. The last time he was back was around ten years ago.
His sudden return and that too with the General of Nimel Clan was something that stunned everyone.
Almost all the members of the Ostrin Clan who were here to welcome the guests looked at the General Rank ships, expecting the two Generals to come out from them.
Surprisingly, it was the door of the Captain Rank ship that opened.
A young man stepped out of the ship, but people didn't pay much attention to him. However, not too far from him, General Nimel and General Ostrin came out, which shocked them the most!
"Who is this kid? The two Generals are walking behind him? They came from the Captain Rank Ship? What is happening?"
"What's the identity of that kid?"
Quite a few Ostrin Clan members started talking among themselves. Even Ron's Father was surprised.
Lucifer walked in the lead, the two Generals behind him, and his own grandson after them with the granddaughter of the Raayi Clan?
