Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 271 You brat, why is nothing around you normal?

Chapter 271 You brat, why is nothing around you normal?

"What… just happened…?"

Seeing that everything had calmed down, Orion couldn't help but question with a ridiculous look on his face. He looked around and?seeing?the big mess the room had turned into, he couldn't help but blink a few times to show his disbelief.

The man stared at his son, waiting for answers, however, Vaan himself seemed lost. He was looking at his little friend, who had currently passed out. Everything that happened was probably a little too much for a newborn beast to take, his body's defence mechanism must have kicked in.

"T-The bond was… formed…?"

Elara muttered out loud, feeling 'connected' to the little beast sleeping on the floor. She went through different magic theories in her mind, trying to understand the situation, however, no matter how much she tried to think, she couldn't come up with anything.

After all, something like this never happened in the past, at the very least, it wasn't mentioned in the records she read.

"You brat, why is nothing around you normal?"

Orion spoke,?from?how his eyebrows were twitching nonstop, one could tell that the man was annoyed.

Vaan glanced at his father, this time, however, he had no answer to his question. Heck, even he wanted to know the answer to this question.

He simply wanted to form a Bond with his Little Furr, he did everything correctly, he bought the highest quality Instant Spells that had been used countless times in the past and had never failed,?he?followed every single step accurately, following the ritual that has been practised for thousands of years to the dot, yet…

Something still happened!

Why!?

How was every strange thing happening to him and the people around him!? What is with his luck!? Can he not live a normal life at all!?

Vaan couldn't understand.

"Vaan…"

Sensing his emotions, the three Spirits moved towards him, trying to show their support. Looking at their worried expressions, Vaan closed his eyes as he sighed.

Then, a smile appeared on his face as he shrugged and,

'I have freaking Magic Gods around me, of course, nothing around me is normal…'

In the end, it was a fate he had to accept.

Then, Vaan glanced at his father,

"That is the sign of greatness, old man. You wouldn't understand."

Orion's mouth twitched when he heard those words.

"I wouldn't understand the sign of greatness huh…?" He spoke with a 'gentle' smile on his face.

"Vaan, it has been a while since we trained together properly, no? You have been busy with Furr. Now that you have finally formed the Bond, how about we continue your training starting today?"

"We will be leaving tomorrow. I do not wish to meet my mother in pieces."

"Don't worry, I won't cut you into pieces... probably."

This time, Vaan was the one who felt his mouth twitching. He couldn't believe that his?own?father was threatening him.

"Tsk."

In the end, he just snorted and turned in to other direction. Then, as if trying to get out of this situation, he picked the sleeping Furr in his arm and,

"He must be tired, I will take him to rest."

"I-I will come with you as well." Elara, who was worried about Furr followed Vaan as well.

The two left the room, leaving Orion alone.

Orion glanced at the mess around him and a solemn look appeared on his face.

'This must have alerted a few people…'

He could already sense a few 'gazes' looking in this direction, the only reason they didn't make a move was that he was here but… Orion didn't know for how long will his presence be enough to keep them in check.

After all, the things happening around his son were simply too bizarre and if there was one thing those old geezers hated the most, it was the unknown.

Orion could bet that the number of people who wanted to get hold of Vaan and cut open his mind to satiate their curiosity was in millions and… the worst part was that a few of themhad the capability todo it.

The target on his son's back was quite huge.

Honestly, Orion wouldn't be surprised if there was already a bounty on his head. An absurd bounty that would be enough to sustain a being's entire future generation.

Of course, none of that mattered.

'I would love to see who has the balls to come after my son.'

A dangerous, distorted smile appeared on Orion's face as he glanced at the 'gazes' looking at him, a smile that sent shivers down those beings' spines, in an instant, those gazes were retracted.

Orion snorted inwardly, then, he turned around, completely ignoring the mess around him.

It was not his problem. After all, it was not his mansion, it was his son's, as long as hisownroom was fine, he wouldn't even lift a finger.

'I'll make that brat clean up later.'

Thinking about it, Orion returned to his room. He had hisownshare of preparations to make before they leave the Academy.

…

On the other side, after leaving the room, Vaan was quick to rush into hisownroom, his father was ruthless, but at the very least, the man respected his privacy enough to not barge into hisownroom.

The room was like a safe zone.

Anyways, shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, Vaan placed Furr on his bed, Elara, who was following him still had a worried look on her face,

"He will be fine, don't worry," Vaan reassured.

"…I know." Elara nodded.

"Do you wish to stay together with him?" Vaan questioned.

Elara glanced at Vaan and,

"Are you not going to?"

"I wish to spend some time alone."

"…"

Elara stared at Vaan in silence. Vaan just smiled.

"Don't think too much, it is nothing."

He patted Elara's head, the girl lowered her head as she accepted the pats,then, she simply nodded.

"Take care of him," Vaan spoke.

Elara nodded again and Vaan left the room.
