Magic’s Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 254 Does it even matter?



”Vaan?” Flamey called again as she flew towards Vaan with a frown on her face, not liking the way he was looking at her.

Vaan looked at the spirit with a strange look on his face, he was having a hard time thinking about how to treat her, before, he saw her as his daughter and a close friend, someone he could shower all his love on, now however, the fact that the girl was incarnation of the God of Magic and is destined to be in a world completely different than his…

Vaan was now confused.

Of course, he wasn’t underestimating himself, someone with his level of arrogance couldn’t possibly do that, however, no matter what, in the end, he was only a human, there was a limit to what he could do and how long he could live for,

He couldn’t possibly rival a God, that too, one of the Strongest Gods in the history of Agresia. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

“Vaan?”

Flamey tilted her head in confusion as she placed her little hands on Vaan’s nose. Sensing that something was wrong, Splashy and Breazy left Elara’s shoulders and flew towards Vaan as well.

“Vaan…”

Breazy called out.

Out of instinct, Vaan’s hand moved towards the wind spirit, just like she always does, Breazy sat on his hand and looked at him with a worried look on her face.

“Vaan…”

Suddenly, Flamey called out again, this time, tears had welled into the corners of her eyes.

“Have we done something wrong…?

Should we not have met the Queen…?

We never meet her again…”

The more she spoke, the more her voice cracked, and seeing that expression Vaan’s heartfelt pain like never before.

“Never meet…” Breazy spoke as well.

“I stay… with Vaan…”

Splashy flew and sat on Vaan’s head, trying to ruffle his hair with her small hands but failing miserably.

“Vaan…”

Seeing the three Spirits acting like it, a strange emotion rose up in Elara’s heart. She glanced at Vaan and,

“Does it even matter?” She questioned with a strange look on her face.

“Nothing changed, did it?

The three of them were Incarnations of the God of Magic from the very beginning. Learning about it now doesn’t change anything.

They are still your Flamey, Splashy, and Breazy.

Though I highly doubt the girls like those names.”

Elara chuckled lightly, adding a small joke at the end.

“We like!”

“Like!”

“Breazy~”

The three Spirits, however, were quick to retort, taking Vaan’s side, seeing the girls fighting for him, Vaan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“See? They take your side in an instant, how could we possibly act distant just because we now know that they are the Magic God? This information shouldn’t change anything.”

Elara chuckled.

Vaan smiled as he nodded as well.

He had no clue what he was thinking. He glanced at Flamey and moved his hand towards her, wanting her to sit on his hand like Breazy, Flamey however, rejected his offer and after giving a small peck on his forehead, she sat on top of his nose.

“Hehehe~”

The little girl laughed out loud.

Following her, the rest of the people in the room laughed as well.

Not wanting to feel left out, Elara went ahead and hugged Vaan as well, placing her head on his chest. Breazy flew and sat on Elara’s head, Vaan’s hands then moved to Elara’s back as he tightened his hug.

“Love!!”

Flamey shouted again as she raised her hand.

Knowing what she wanted her to do, Elara couldn’t help but chuckle and,

“I love you, Vaan.”

“I love you too.”

Vaan chuckled.

*Knock* *Knock*

Suddenly, while the couple were hugging each other, they heard a knock. In an instant, Elara was jolted awake and moved away from Vaan before turning towards the doors.

“You have just returned after weeks of being next to each other alone, why the hell are you talking like you haven’t seen each other for years?”

Orion’s voice was heard.

“Why the hell are you eavesdropping on your son’s conversation? Do you not have any shame?” Vaan questioned back.

“Haah? Have you gotten bolder after returning from the ruins?”

Orion questioned back, “Also, I don’t have any interest in eavesdropping on your conversation, I only came here because your mother wishes to talk to you.”

“What?”

Vaan frowned.

“She wanted to ask a few things about the Demon you saw in the Past Era.”

“How does she know…?” Vaan questioned as soon as he did, he realized the answer.

“The Headmaster informed all the major problems, you might have people visiting you soon. Be prepared, you are about to get busy.”

Orion spoke with a big smile on his face.

“Also, how long before you open the door? What the hell are the two of you even doing in there? Do you have your clothes on at least?”

“Paa!!”

Vaan shouted as Elara’s face turned red in embarrassment.

“Hehehe~” As if she could understand everything, the little Flamey laughed out loud.

“Can he see you?” Vaan questioned as he glanced at Flamey, the spirit shook her head.

Elara on the other hand, was already on the door, preparing to open the door. Seeing Vaan nod, she opened the door.

Orion then walked in and looked at the two with a suspicious look on his face, in the end however, he simply shrugged, not wanting to be involved with his son’s love life.

Then, he passed the Call Artifact to Vaan, Vaan took the Artifact and,

“Hello?”

[Vaan.]

Astra called out.

“It has been a while, Mother.” Vaan greeted with a smile.

[We just met a few weeks ago.]

“Well, it was a long while for me because of how much I missed you.” Vaan chuckled.

[…]

Astra turned silent, not knowing what to say.

She could sense that Vaan was acting strangely and suddenly,

“Mother.” He called out.

[What is it?]

“You need to come back here, I need to talk to you and I cannot do it through the Artifact.”

[It doesn’t matter, Demons aren’t something we will be hiding from the rest anyway-]

“Mother, I know that.

But you still need to come here.”

Vaan cut Astra off and once again,

Astra turned silent.

A minute passed by, none of the parties spoke, even Orion was looking at Vaan with a solemn look on his face, then finally,

[How important is it?] Astra questioned.

“Very. Much more important than the previous one.” Vaan answered and in an instant, Orion’s face turned grave.

[The Academy will not allow me to return because other powers might try to take advantage of it.]

Astra explained the problem.

In the end, the Agresia Academy was a neutral power, a power that nurtured future powerhouses of Agresia, the fact that the head of one of the Strongest Families in the world was making an appearance in this neutral power wouldn’t be taken positively.

Some families would even think that the Academy has tilted towards the side of the Vestas because of their personal relationships and are now trying to discretely manipulate the younger generation to have a favorable impression of the Vesta Family.

Of course, families like the Dawncrest wouldn’t possibly take it lying down. They would definitely try to get something out of the situation, something that the Academy couldn’t possibly allow.

Vaan understood the crux of the problem as well and turned silent.

“Take a leave from the Academy.”

Suddenly, Orion spoke up.

“What…?” Vaan tilted his head in confusion.

The Agresia Academy was trying to show the students how the real world worked, the challenges students face inside, the factions they make, and the politics they play are done so that the students are prepared to meet the real world once they graduate from the Academy.

Just like one couldn’t just ‘leave’ the real world when he felt like it, the academy students weren’t allowed to take ‘leave’ from the Academy either.

They could either leave the Academy in the two months’ holidays that are given, or when they graduate or… when they decide to leave the Academy altogether.

There was no fourth option. Even medical conditions couldn’t be used as an excuse since the Academy had few of the world’s best healers living inside. Not to mention that there was also a branch of the Church of Light inside.

“Go to your grandfather and tell him you have something important to discuss with your mother, I am sure he will provide you with a solution.”

“Is that even possible?” Vaan questioned.

Orion however, just chuckled,

“He is the Headmaster of the Academy, inside these walls, he could do whatever he wants, so providing a solution shouldn’t be difficult.

Although considering his personality, he will make you put a lot at stake.”

A playful smile appeared on Orion’s face as he glanced at Vaan.

Vaan didn’t even think about it and nodded. The information he had was simply too important for him to think about these simple matters.

Heck, even leaving the Academy permanently wouldn’t be a problem in a situation like this.

After all, they needed a set plan of action about how to deal with the entire situation.

The revival of the God of Magic couldn’t possibly be a small thing. Astra’s expertise was absolutely needed in the matter.

“Alright then Mother, just wait for me, I will be there soon.”

Vaan spoke with a confident smile on his face.
