A blinding flash swallowed Team Father ✨
When the light faded—
They stood once more inside the Academy stadium 🏟️
For half a second—
Silence.
Then—
The entire Academy rose.
Teachers.Students.Nobles.Staff.
All applauding.
The cheers crashed like a wave 🎉🔥
Team Father had returned.
Not as participants.
As legends.
They stood together:
Aren.Ben.King.And the small blue horse 🐎✨
They bowed once.
The stadium erupted.
🌱 Separate Paths
After the ceremony—
They parted.
Ben ran.
No hesitation.
At the gate—
His sister stood.
Standing.
Walking.
Running.
"Ben!!" 😭
He dropped to his knees.
Held her tightly.
Laughter filled their home for the first time in years 🏡🤍
King returned to his estate 🏰
His family froze—
Then broke into joy.
Berry stood beside him.
Quiet.
Holding his arm.
King bowed deeply.
"This is my love."
The halls filled with voices.
Blessings.
Warmth.
And Aren—
He walked to the library 📚
Sat.
Opened a book.
As if nothing had happened.
Students watched from a distance.
"That's him…""The one who cleared the trials…""The one who saved them…""…He doesn't even care."
Aren turned a page.
Outside—
The blue horse played with children 🐎✨
Peace.
A quiet one.
⏳ One Month Later — Phase Two Begins
Time passed.
Quick.
Almost unnoticed.
Stories of Phase One became legend.
Whispers in hallways.
Names written in awe.
Now—
Team Father stood again.
On a glowing circle.
Light swallowed them.
🌬️ The Cliff of Beginning
They appeared—
At the edge of a cliff.
Wind howled violently 🌬️
Clouds churned below ☁️
The world looked small.
Distant.
Ben whistled softly.
"…This place doesn't look friendly."
King tightened his gloves.
"As long as Aren is here…"
"…we adapt."
Ben nodded.
"Yeah."
"…We always do."
The horse stamped proudly.
"Ho!" 🐎
All eyes turned to Aren.
He crouched.
Touched the stone.
Felt the wind.
Then nodded.
"Phase Two has no fixed structure."
Ben blinked.
"…That sounds bad."
"Yes."
King frowned.
"How many teams reached this stage before us?"
"Three."
Ben went still.
"…So they faced the same trials?"
Aren shook his head.
"If they had succeeded…"
"…those souls would not still exist."
Silence.
Heavy.
Cold.
Aren stood.
"This phase isn't about repeating trials."
A step forward.
"It's about finishing what others failed."
King clenched his fist.
Ben swallowed.
Even the horse lowered its ears 🐎
King asked quietly—
"…Do you know what comes next?"
Aren answered simply:
"No."
That answer—
Was worse than anything else.
🏚️ The Old Guild
They moved.
Through fog 🌫️Through silenceThrough emptiness
Until—
A structure appeared.
Old.
Broken.
Heavy with time.
A sign hung above it:
GUILD
Ben blinked.
"…This feels wrong."
The door opened.
Inside—
A bear sat behind a desk 🐻✍️
Writing.
Working.
Tired beyond reason.
Ben whispered—
"…Is that normal?"
King replied—
"…Nothing here is normal."
The bear pointed lazily.
At a board.
Aren walked forward.
Pulled a quest.
[QUEST: Defeat the Giant Dragon 🐉]
The moment he touched it—
BOOM 💥
The ground shook.
The bear lifted the desk.
Walked outside.
Placed it down.
Sat again.
Ben stared.
"…Why did he move the office?"
Aren answered:
"The quest has begun."
⚠️ The Impossible Condition
The board revealed everything.
Fifty quests.
Each deadly.
Each unique.
Ben counted slowly.
"…Fifty?"
King went pale.
"…No."
Aren confirmed:
"All must be completed."
A pause.
"In five days."
The Academy exploded 📺🔥
"FIVE DAYS!?""NO ONE HAS EVER CLEARED THIS!""THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
Even teachers stood frozen.
"…Phase Two has begun," the Headmistress whispered.
🔥 Divide and Conquer
Ben lifted his weapon 💪King drew his blade ⚔️The horse stamped proudly 🐎
Aren nodded.
"Ben. King. Horse."
A pause.
"Clear the quests."
King blinked.
"…All of them?"
"Yes."
Aren turned.
Toward the cliff.
"I'll handle the dragon."
Ben smiled.
"We've got this."
King sighed.
"…We might die."
Ben cracked his knuckles.
"No."
"We're Team Father."
⏱️ Four Days Later
The screens showed chaos.
King dismantled a fortress alone ⚔️Ben crushed beasts like stone 💥The horse dragged treasure twice its size 🐎💰
In four days—
49 quests cleared.
The Academy roared.
"WHERE IS AREN!?""HOW ARE THEY STILL STANDING!?"
Far above—
Aren sat.
At the cliff's edge.
Reading.
Studying.
Like nothing mattered 📚
🌬️ The Final Moment
On the morning of Day Four—
He stood.
Behind him—
Ben.King.Horse.
"All quests completed," King said.
"…Forty-nine."
Aren nodded.
"Good."
Ben exhaled.
"…The last one."
Aren closed his book.
"The dragon."
The wind roared louder 🌬️
Clouds twisted below ☁️
The sky darkened.
Phase Two—
Had truly begun.
🐉🔥
