(From MC’s POV)
Wilderness,
I am taken aback by the mana power value. It’s now 700; earlier it was 400. With each increase in talent, the mana power rises by 100. This orange talent is truly horrifying, with such mana capacity. I can fight for a long time.
Then I observed the other attributes; they also showed huge improvement. Next, I looked at the time. I need to get home before sunrise.
I stood up from the ground and thought about the next plan. First, I need to figure out what to do with Jake’s storage bracelet. There are still a lot of items placed inside his storage bracelet.
I pondered for a moment, then I decided to dump his artifacts also. Apart from a few precious herbs, the rest were just artifacts. When I observed the herbs, some of them were new to me.
I decided to learn about them after getting home. Next, I put his storage bracelet on my mind and exited the cave space.
Without thinking further, I dashed towards the city wall. On the way, I came across the wolf monster.
I’m not very knowledgeable about it.
Seeing the wolf monster turning its head against me, I became alert.
Its sharp fangs and claws can tear through a wizard’s physique without much effort.
The wolf howled for a moment, then in the next moment it was dashing towards us.
“Fast”, I muttered to myself.
I can see this wolf monster is wind-attributed. The monster’s speed is extremely fast with the added advantage of a wind element.
It’s impossible to locate the monster without good concentration.
Then I waited for a good opportunity. Once the monster inches closer towards me, I plan to use a gravity spell.
The world’s monster only thought about its prey. It is thought that the prey is standing like a statue due to fear.
The monster wanted to taste the blood of the human. It hadn’t seen any humans for a while near this gorge.
When the monster went quite close towards its prey,
“Gravity Field” I quickly cast a spell.
The next moment, tremendous pressure is applied from above. The monster freezes on the spot all of a sudden. It’s pupils construct feelings of extreme danger.
I really want to test my new strength for a moment. But it will waste my time here. Shaking my head, I planned to head home. There is no need to rush; I can slowly explore the limits later.
I dispel the gravity field after gaining some clarity. The wolf monster was totally exhausted; it couldn’t even move its body. Using that opportunity, I slip away from this place.
Sometimes later,
I spotted the city wall from the distance. Fortunately, while on the way, I didn’t come across any other monsters. It saved a lot of time for me. Then I realised there were only two hours until the sun rose.
Without thinking further, I dashed towards the gate. There were two guards in front of the gate. Seeing me coming, they became alert.
But when I came to the gate, they didn’t inquire about me. It surprised me greatly. Maybe they misunderstood something.
I didn’t want to clarify either. So I entered the City of Venen. Soon, I found an air cab after telling them my destination. The air cab rose from the ground and flew towards the destination.
A few hours later,
The air cab landed at the cab platform, which is quite close to my home. After paying the money, I exited the cab and walked towards my home.
I wonder what is going on inside the home. I’m quite nervous about it. I wasn’t flustered facing Jake House. But thinking about the family gives me chills.
I don’t know how to explain it to them. I shake my head. I dispel these thoughts. Soon, I arrived at home. After stepping inside the home, I walked forward and opened the door.
“Creak,” the door opens.
I walked inside slowly. But my expression quickly turned solemn. My dad, mum, and brother were waiting for me. Three of them were sitting on the sofa, seriously discussing something. 𝐞𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Upon hearing the door sound, everyone turned towards me.
What exactly is this? How to handle the situation? I let out a wry smile. Then, without confronting them, I decided to walk upstairs.
But just as I turned towards the upstairs, I heard a roaring sound from behind. “Vincent, where have you been?” Brad Carey shouted in anger.
I touched my ears and turned towards my family. “What? I went to find a good mana gathering area. My gravity magic is rare, I need a good place to improve. It’s really difficult for me to meditate at home. ”
“My progress is slower than a snail. If it were a good spot, my practice speed might have increased further.” I said with some distress.
My answer dumbfounded them. I couldn’t believe I came up with such a lie at this moment. But this concern was always on my mind. I didn’t think much about it. Yet now it automatically comes from my mouth.
On the other hand, Brad Carey doesn’t know what to say for a moment. because he couldn’t find any fault in his son’s answer. Their home is not a good place for magic practise.
Even he and his wife used to meditate in the hospital. There is actually a mana gathering room built for staff in their green leaf hospital.
Brad Carey looked at his wife. Mother Lila ponders for a moment, she currently believes her son.
Since her second son’s awakening of the magical talent, He has been constantly looking for ways to improve himself. Starting from Claudia’s gym to now this situation,
She doesn’t know whether to worry about her son or be proud of him. She is happy that Vincent is entirely focused on the Wizard path. But at the same time, she feels Vincent is hurrying through his practise. which is also not good for him.
While Brad Carey and Lila had the same concern in their hearts. The only person who has a different opinion is Brian Carey. Brian Carey looked at his brother and asked, “I tried to call you. But there is no response whatsoever. ”
I laughed in my heart, because I was expecting this question. I turned off my communication watch because of my brother. I knew he would try something like this.
Then I simply answered, “I don’t want to get annoyed by your calls. So I turned off my communication watch. ”
Then I added, “By the way, Brian. You are already quite upset about my visit to Claudia gym. So why should I tell you? ”
At this point, even Brian was stunned. He couldn’t even refute his brother’s words. Brian recalled his complaint about Vincent’s actions to his father.
Now, Brian thinks that his brother is doing this because of him. So he didn’t want to ask about his whereabouts anymore. He walked back to his room.
Mother Lila begins to worry. She feels the relationship between them is restrained. Both of them are getting further away from each other.
Not only Lila Carey has these thoughts. Even Brad pondered it, he let out a deep sigh. “So, Vincent didn’t forget the event. He is doing it because of Brian. ” Brad Carey said in his heart.
He strongly advised his son Brian about this. He didn’t want Brian to interfere in Vincent’s affairs. It’s also the same for Vincent. But, last time, Brian reacted too hard. The Claudia Gym episode is an unwarranted one.
He just gave a little bit of money to Vincent in order to motivate him. But Brad never expected this to arouse jealousy from Brian. What exactly is this? He didn’t know how to solve it.
Brad Carey then looked at his son and said, “Vincent, you can go and take some rest.”
Hearing my father’s words, I nodded at both my mother and dad and walked upstairs back to my room.
“Creak,” I sighed relievedly after closing the door.
“Phew!” That was close. I never thought this simple answer would solve everything. Both my mum and dad didn’t question me anything further.
It looks like I need to express my thanks to my brother. Last time, Brian felt dissatisfied. He too wanted to practise in Claudia’s Gym. But he didn’t get any money from his dad. So he directed his anger at me.
But poor him, he must have believed I did this in retaliation. “Ha… Ha… Ha…” I laughed out loud. Then, without thinking further, I lay in bed to sleep.
My mind has been under constant pressure since yesterday morning. Now that I had gotten some rest, I let down my guard and fell asleep.
Downstairs,
Mother Lila looked at her husband and commented, “The distance between them is getting further away.” Brian is completely changed, especially after Vincent’s magic talent awakening.
Brad Carey nodded at her, but he didn’t want to talk about this now. If it were to be heard by Brian, he might cause some other trouble. Brad already guessed something. Two years ago, the bond between brothers was quite strong.
Brad realised it must be for various reasons. Vincent failed to awaken his magic talent during the first ceremony. So Brian didn’t face any threat from Vincent.
Now everything has changed. Resources need to be shared between the two of them.
