Long story short, Alex's activities that day were still not finished, in the afternoon, Alex and Ryuji were at Doctor Otto's clinic, or rather in the treatment room where Billy currently is, although he still lying on the patient's bed with several limbs still bandaged, but Billy's condition seems will be fine. This afternoon, shortly after he woke up, Billy called Alex and Ryuji to Meet him, but Doctor Otto had not allowed Billy to get out of bed, so now he had to chat while sitting on the patient's bed, while Alex and Ryuji were standing nearby.
Their conversation began with an apology made by Billy to Alex, but Alex even apologized back, because he still felt guilty for the awakening of the Demon King's power that Jefirros had now obtained. So with a feeling of nervousness, Alex could only look down and feel sad to see the state of his friends, especially when he saw Billy's condition.
But Billy immediately calmed Alex's heart by saying. "It's okay Alex, don't blame yourself too much. The point is that we all failed to prevent the Demon King's power from rising, but don't be lose hope. We can still continue fight together to defeat Jefirros and annihilate the Demon King's power… Besides that, although we also lost Ren in the battle, but don't let Ren's struggle and sacrifice be in vain. So cheer up, and Keep fighting with us." Billy said.
Then after hearing those words, Alex nodded while smiling slightly at Billy. While Ryuji immediately said.
"Oh yeah, looks like this is Alex's first time coming to this place huh?"
"Y-yes... I didn't expect the Wind Faction's group to have a special treatment place like this." Alex said in awe.
"Hmm, this place belongs to Doctor Otto ... He is one of the senior members just like me." Billy said.
"Oh yeah Billy, didn't you say there was something you wanted to talk about with Alex?" Ryuji asked.
"Yeah, I almost forgot ... The reason why I called you guys here was to let Alex ask me."
"Ask what?" Alex and Ryuji were confused.
Then Billy replied, "Yes, after all, he had been in the same place with Jefirros, and there must have been one thing that Jefirros had told to him, while from the Wind Faction's side, it was still kept secret from him ... Namely, about the government."
"Hmm, that's right." Ryuji said.
"Ummm." Alex felt confused where to start asking.
Then Billy continued. "Listen Alex, I don't want any misunderstanding between us... I want you to know about this straight from me, and the reason why we've kept this secret to you, is on purpose, is because we feel that you're not ready to know about this yet."
Alex suddenly said. "I'm ready... Please tell me about everything."
"Alright... So did you know that actually our government is 80% controlled by the shield race?"
"Yeah, I just found out about it from Jefirros... Does that mean all the shield races are part of the government?"
"No, of course not all of them... The Examples are myself, Miran and Max, we are indeed a race of shields, but we weren't born from a family of rulers, but rather were born from an ordinary family and have nothing to do with them."
"I see... Then was the power of government possessed by the shield race Is the thing that triggered the creation of the Sword Freedom group and their acts of terror?"
"No... It's a lot more complicated than you can imagine."
"Hmm. Please tell me."
"But to make you understand, then I will tell you the history from the beginning , of the feud between the sword race and the shield race."
"Really?" said Alex.
Then Ryuji took a chair for himself and Alex. So they both could sit down, then Alex was ready to hear Billy's story.
So after taking a deep breath, Billy started the story, which is a story about the origin of the sword race and the shield race.
