After Rhea's performance at the academy, we were heading home. Everything seemed normal, but I noticed the presence of that strange person—the one who had been talking to me endlessly before. He was following us, keeping his distance, but as we neared our home, he abruptly stopped. It could have been my grandfather Odin’s order that restrained him, or perhaps he decided on his own to halt the chase. Either way, it was of no concern to me.
I pretended not to notice him. Engaging in a fight would be meaningless, as the outcome was already certain. He was strong, but I was stronger. There was no logical reason to act. The best course of action was silence. Informing my mother would serve no purpose.
When we finally reached home, I escorted Rhea to her room. She seemed to hesitate before speaking.
“Rhea, is there any problem? Are you hurt anywhere? Or are you just exhausted? If something hurts, I’ll call Mom.”
She shook her head. “------” I who the only one who can understand her words understood what she said.
She said “yes I'm okay. No need to worry about me. And I'm sorry I wanted to show you how far I've come but instead I was a troublesome person for that girl”.
“No, you did what you could. Don't be discouraged about it and don't think much about it. You did well for your first fight. Even I was not that much good in my first fight, I made unbelievable mistakes than anyone could have done. So cheer up. Do you want to go to selene sister’s house? I think you will feel good after meeting her”.
She nodded her head and said she wants to go there.
“Ok,then let's go after your small break. And by the way about ‘that thor’ did he say something to you? Like threatening you, or something else?”
She became quiet after I asked that question. I think he did say something like “ I will kill your fake brother by my hands or something like that. There is only one thor in this universe and that is me. How dare he keep my name as his own? And he doesn't even have his lightning powers and that doesn't make sense. A fake thor, who is trying to replace me. I won't ever forget him. I will kill your brother no matter what happens to me”. Something like this.
For now I will let her rest. Because she's tired right now.That was expected. Her opponent had been this universe’s Thor. The moment he saw me, he directed all his rage toward her, unable to act against me in public. He exhausted her, but she remained uninjured. If she had been in danger, I would have stepped in. However, Hephaestus’s daughter prevented that from becoming necessary. She understood the exam well and proved to be a capable ally. If Rhea aligned herself with her, it would be beneficial.

At first glance, she seemed irritated by my presence, but she was efficient. Forming an alliance with her might be useful. In this universe, I had no allies, though in others, I had many.
My thoughts returned to that strange man. His attack was inevitable. For a brief moment, he had exuded murderous intent before concealing it. He was strong and, by extension, a potential threat. My master had prohibited me from revealing my identity, which meant a direct confrontation would be problematic. If he was connected to either my grandfather Odin or this universe’s Thor, his actions would be predictable. Whether he was ordered to kill me or acted on his own was irrelevant.
If he targeted my family, I would eliminate him.
A confrontation needed to occur in an isolated location. Public exposure was not an option. My grandfather might have surveillance measures in place, though that was only a possibility. My master had made me promise not to engage with other gods, regardless of their hostility toward me.
But if they became a direct threat, logical constraints would no longer apply. There would be only one course of action.
If that strange person comes at me at night,it will be troublesome because I can't see anything at night because of my "fear" I received from my training. It's not like I can't fight at night, it's because I might reveal my weakness to my grandfather odin. If he found out about it, he might even order that person to attack me at tonight. I wonder how much strong of a person he has sent to kill me. Well, whatever it doesn't matter because I'll just fight him except he didn't sent any God, because if he has sent a god to kill me it might be troublesome.
Selene, Thor's older sister, is not biologically related to him or Rhea but comes from another godly lineage. Despite her kind and selfless nature, she carries a hidden burden—she cannot walk and is always in a wheelchair. Thor has cherished her since childhood, often taking her to different places. However, there is a mysterious secret about Selene and her father that Thor is desperately trying to keep hidden. If Odin were to discover this secret, it could endanger both of Thor’s families.
Thor considers himself part of two families: one with Rhea and her mother, Elysia, and another with Selene and her father. He frequently visits Selene, always bringing Rhea along. Rhea, in turn, deeply admires Selene, who played a crucial role in helping her control her powers. Despite the looming threat of a mysterious person sent by Odin, Thor is relieved that this planet’s strict security prevents any unknown individuals from entering. Upon arriving, Rhea is overjoyed to reunite with Selene, sharing her progress and achievements. Thor reflects on how Selene's kindness rivals even that of their mother, making her one of the purest souls he has ever known.
Thor deeply admires his sister Selene, seeing her as one of the most intelligent beings in the universe. Despite being bound to her wheelchair, she constantly seeks knowledge, reading countless books and demonstrating an unparalleled understanding of the world. Thor believes that if not for her disability, she could have surpassed even Rhea, who was born with immense innate talent—and possibly even himself.
Selene possesses gravity-based powers, which she selflessly uses to help others. However, despite her abilities, she cannot use them on herself to stand or walk. Thor finds this mysterious and wonders if she, like him, is also burdened by a curse. Born emotionless himself, he speculates that Selene’s inability to use her own powers for personal healing might be the result of a similar affliction.
Knowing that she often feels lonely in her wheelchair, Thor frequently takes her to different worlds so she can experience life beyond her home. Their mother also visits Selene, treating her as if she were her own daughter. This deep bond between them all emphasizes how much Thor cherishes Selene, not just as a sister but as someone whose kindness and intelligence inspire him, despite the challenges she faces.
