Omega Summoner - #1755 - 1755 Cousin Talks

Adrian and the other were able to leave the room as the adults needed to talk now. All of them gathered at the room and started to discuss things that are common for them. The ones leading the conversation were none other than Mina and Clarissa as they were the oldest ones in the group.

Jamie was not from the main family but from the branch family as he is the grandson of Adrian’s grandfather’s brother. Clarissa was also from the branch family as well, but she was the oldest of the grandchildren which is why she was raised to be classier. Princess was the daughter of Mario, Maria’s twin brother, which means that she is from the main family as well.

“To think that Equinox was really a blood relative of mine. I am getting chills in my body because of excitement. Does that mean that you were in America back then due to the Pandelympics? I did see you guys with Creepysoo as he talked to you.” Jamie stated.

“Yup. We even got a tour of Atlas Inc. because I accepted the offer of being the last boss.” Adrian stated which he was a bit embarrassed.

“We did talk frequently in the guild house but talking in person has a really different feeling that I am still feeling a bit awkward.” Jamie stated as he often chatted with Adrian in the guild house, but it was mostly game stuff.

“So, you guys met inside the game that he is playing? Is it really that fun?” Clarissa asked as she was not a player in the game.

“Yeah! Although, we really first met during the Pandelympics as I faced them in a battle where I was the boss monster.” Adrian stated.

“He was really cool in that fight and also savage to the point that defeating him was a pipedream.” Jamie stated as he tried his best but still died.

“I remember that the government actually came to us for a representative to Pandemonium because they wanted a fairly high ranking in a world cup style game. Almost none of us played because we are more focused on fighting in the real world. We usually have offers to participate in the Olympics and such and not a virtual reality game.” Clarissa stated.

“Thankfully, I was playing the game since my parents were not that strict as long as I got my training done for the day. It was really difficult to convince them but fighting inside the game is much more fun that here in real life since I do not need to pull my punches.” Jamie stated.

“Big Brother Jamie is really strong which is why he does not have many trainees that can take him on that is the same age as him. He can even beat those that are older than him.” Princess stated as she praised Jamie.

“I can actually see that from the way he fights inside the game. I even bet that he might beat me if we had the same stats and race when it comes to pure combat.” Adrian stated which made Jamie a bit shy as he was praised by someone he looked up to as well.

“I am pretty sure that you might be able to beat me even in real life if you were not in your current state.” Jamie stated as he could feel that Adrian was at least his match when he observed him inside the game.

Adrian was already asked by his cousins about his current physical state. Princess was the one that brought it up as she noticed the exoskeleton that Adrian was wearing to aid him in walking. Adrian did not mind the question as a child has innocence in things that are unfamiliar with them which is why it is better to answer them truthfully.

Clarissa, Jamie, and Princess all felt a bit sad when Adrian was recalling what happened, but they cheered up due to Princess’ comment. Princess called Adriana hero because he was able to save someone which no one would usually do. In the age of advance medicine, some people no longer do heroic things that some people coin it back about half a century ago.

Injuries heal much quicker than before and even some life ending sicknesses were phased out due to vaccines. The only sickness that are not yet cured in this world are those that just pop out suddenly without a cause. Even then, it would just take about a year for the people to develop a cure and vaccine to stop it from spreading.

“We might not know for at least a year as my doctor said that I might be fully healed within a year if I am lucky.” Adrian stated.

“If that is the case then I want to have a sparring match with you when the time comes! We cannot do in inside the game because I know that you would pummel me to the ground.” Jamie stated as he knew that Adrian was stronger than him as they have battled each other for practice a couple of times in the guild house.

“They are battle junkies.” Clarissa and Mina stated which made them giggle as they have known the attitude of the two when it comes to fights.

“Princess wants to play the game as well! It sounds exciting and fun to play.” Princess suddenly declared as she found the world of Pandemonium fun and exciting.

“You cannot play alone though as you would need a guardian in order to play it at your age. I know because we also have a guild member that is about your age as well and she is very good at playing.” Adrian stated as he remembered Soleil.

“If that is the case then I want to play too! Clarissa can be my guardian since she does not do anything unless it is training.” Princess stated.

“I do lots of stuff you know! I… uh…Ack! To be called someone with no life by a child younger than me hurts a bit.” Clarissa stated with a feeling of defeat.

“Will Grandpa Jose agree though? I am pretty sure that it was very difficult to have my own game pod approved. Grandpa Juan had to have a heated debate with him in order for it to be approved. The reason I was approved is due to the fact that I am already winning against my peers and need another hobby.” Jamie stated.

“I am pretty sure that they approved it because you started mercilessly beating down the older trainees that they had problems with their confidence. They did that so that you would ease up on them.” Clarissa stated as she described Jamie as someone that releases frustration in fights.

“I guess it really does run in the blood.” Mina exclaimed as she also looked at Adrian.

“What are you looking at me for?” Adrian asked.

“For permission, I think we already have that in the bag because we have our lucky charms here.” Clarissa stated as she pointed towards Adrian and Mina.

“You mean us?” Adrian and Mina simultaneously stated.

“Yup! Grandpa Jose likes to spoil his grandchildren to the point that he did not even want Princess here to train. She is also showered with anything she wants but she is a good girl that knows her limits. Her father, Uncle Mario, is much worse when it comes to spoiling her.” Jamie stated.

“I think we should try. It is much more comfortable playing in a game pod than the headgear. We got nothing to lose as I would just need to go straight up and ask.” Adrian stated as he stood up.

“We will come with you as moral support.” Clarissa and the others stated as they also stood up as well.

Adrian and the others marched towards the living room area where the adults were talking, and it seems that they were done. All of them were already chatting and having some coffee in leisure as the serious matter seemed to have been closed. The first one to notice the cousins marching was none other than Grandpa Jose.

“Oh! It seems that all of you are already great friends since you lot have started to go around as a group.” Grandpa Jose stated.

“Did you guys need something?” Maria asked as she could feel that the kids were needing something.

“We were discussing some things and we talked about Pandemonium. You know… the game that I am playing, and it seems that Princess was also interested in playing. She cannot play the game without a guardian, but Clarissa volunteered so we are fine on that end. The only problem now is the fact that we do not have game pods which is why we cannot play the game together and bond. Is there any way for us to solve that issue, grandpa?” Adrian stated in a rather soft tone that was not begging but almost crying.

“Oh! He is good.” Clarissa and Jamie thought as they did not expect those lines from Adrian.
