Chapter 409 Reuniting With The Gang.
Once Sebastian got permission from Clan Head Tungsten which still felt awkward in his mouth, he finally could leave to reunite with his friends.
Though he had access to know the truth previously through Eliana, he refused to know it ahead of time since the guilt would be stronger then. He didn't want to know how many of his close acquaintances died in the volcanic eruption.
His close acquaintances in this term were not just the sharks of the old clan, but the Great White Sharks of the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team.
As Sebastian swam out of Tungsten's chambers, a wide predatory smile was already planted on his face as he reminisced the good old days together.
A foolish smile planted his shark face when he remembered the first official hunting campaign that he went with the clan where they encountered the Basking Shark, other powerful predators, and most especially the Jellyfish.
The trolololo sounds of that jellyfish still left him amazed even as much as she also left him admiring her strength. He wondered if any of these purple tier predators survived the ocean volcanic eruption.
All that didn't matter at this moment though because after traveling a short distance, he finally arrived at the army barracks of the Firelight Shark Clan's army.
Sebastian tried to refrain from using his powerful sensing skills, but in the end, impatience and curiosity got the better of him.
[You have activated skill: Mega Electroreceptors!]
Instantly, Sebastian got a wide overview of the army barracks.
In the short period of 2 months since the Firelight Shark Clan was founded, a few new sharks face that Sebastian didn't know already joined the army, Sebastian guessed that some of these were still baby sharks in the old clan.
To his surprise though, he saw one of these new faces familiar. "Isn't that the harem baby shark?"
The young female shark fidgeted, puffing frantically with her tail fin suddenly swishing left and right much faster as soon as she discovered the hero's attention being focused on her.
She didn't know what to do or how to respond and it was killing her.
Seeing her reaction, Sebastian was amused. "Little Coco?"
"Huh..? Lord Seb.., King.., Elder Sebastian?"
".." Black lines filled Sebastian's face. "What type of naming sense is that? Lord or King is even better, why elder, am I that old?"
Sebastian only got to know this baby shark through one of his shark bros, he wasn't too acquainted with her.
He remembered though that back then Coco was still that small baby shark, not only was she bigger now, she was a white tier predator already which made her qualified to join the army.
"So, she left her harem dream and became a soldier, fascinating!"
As Sebastian proceeded to swim in another direction of the army barracks, he remembered something as he decided to try it out.
He suddenly blurted. "What are we supposed to do daily?"
"Bite, eat, play, and sleep!" Coco replied instinctively.
".."
".."
"...."
It took a few seconds for the realization to settle on Coco's head, her face turned potato red on seeing the attention that she just attracted.
Sebastian chuckled. "Still the same old Coco".
..
After Coco, Sebastian swam straight to a corner of the army barracks.
After his sweep with his electroreceptors, he already got everything that he needed. What he discovered did leave him depressed a bit, but he was still grateful that he at least had something to see.
3 sharks from his old Ultimate Dissectors hunting team survived the disaster and they were all familiar faces, Verni, Tosh, and Shanks.
Of course, Sebastian felt bad that the others had to die but he felt even more grateful that it was these 3 that survived.
After his sudden show-up in the previous battle, enabling them to emerge victoriously, the 3 sharks were so stoked that they gathered together immediately after getting back to the army barracks to engage in reminiscing talk.
[You have activated skill: Sound Control.]
[You have created a sound construct: Eavesdropping earpads.]
All other sounds faded from Sebastian's hearing, only concentrating on one as it became more prominent the next moment.
"..freak, I still can't believe that he came back!" Tosh exclaimed.
"I always said he would". Veni added but Tosh was not having it as his big mouth kept on rambling on like the exhaust of a powerful plant generator.
"I know you said so, but that's still awesome right?"
"Do you know how awesome he looked when he arrived to save us? I bet he came at that exact moment to impress the ladies". His voice suddenly lowered to a whisper. "I can bet a tooth that Seba bro is back to start his harem".
".."
"Huh? Why are you giving me that look? Am I wrong?"
Getting no response, Tosh continued. "Well, I don't care about your opinion, what I know is that I'm right. I mean, cut him some slack, he's a purple tier predator enough".
"Seba bro has worked hard enough, now its time to enjoy dem ladies".
"Ahem!"
"Huh, what's that sound?" Tosh was confused. "Is the cabinet.."
"Tosh, behind you". Shanks suddenly whispered to him.
Without even thinking, Tosh turned around immediately to look at what was so important to have such a reaction and he was stunned. His eyes kept on staring without focus, then he laughed.
"I'm dreaming right?"
"Yes, you are motherf*cker!"
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Spanking/Bonking Rod!] historical
Bonk!
"Ouch!!!" Tosh yelled. "Seba bro.., I'm sorry, I have sinned!"
..
The reunion of the 3 sharks and their leader was so-so awkward. Verni and Shanks were lost for words seeing Sebastian so close, they never expected something like this once he became a purple tier predator.
At this moment, they already saw Sebastian in the same heights as they previously saw the 3 Elders, Sebastian was an elder to them now.
Only Tosh never gave a damn, he expressed his all like the usual crazy him.
In the end, Tosh's ramblings that originally sounded annoying were what made the atmosphere lively again as the remaining 2 sharks could finally speak.
For the next few minutes, they engaged in a long conversation, speaking about only the good things while leaving the bad to rot in obscurity.
They spoke of their hunts, the silly encounters, and how they survived by the skin of the teeth. The one Tosh emphasized was when Shanks almost died when he was power-leveled only to be saved by Seba bro.
Once Shanks recalled that encounter, thinking of how pitiful he was, he was left blushing furiously while Sebastian, Tosh, and Verni roared in laughter.
Of course, in conversations like this, if Tosh didn't speak of the Jellyfish encounter, then he wouldn't be Tosh.
This time, he emphasized how the broken Jellyfish trashed Sebastian and the other purple tier predators, leaving them quaking in their boots.
This time, it was Sebastian's turn to be laughed at. Sebastian's escape there was iconic, but his initial reaction was too funny to forget, Verni and Tosh roared in laughter this time while Shanks could only chuckle at the jokes.
Once Tosh started it, there was no stopping it. Seeing that Seba bro was still the Seba bro that he knew, he went full throttle.
He kept on blasting out words at the pace of a machine gun.
He talked so much about his Seba bro's encounters and how he reacted that for the first time, Sebastian felt that he would die if he did not stop.
"Haha, do you remember when Seba bro just came to the clan.."
"Tosh!"
"I'm not fabricating things up, it's real, I mean when you just came, you.."
"Tosh!!!"
"I'm not lying, you were so awkward and weird, and cringe.., and so shy.., and.."
"TOSH!!!"
".."
