Magic’s Return: I Can See The Spirits

”Vaan! Vaan! It is coming out!”

Elara exclaimed with an excited look on her face.

*Crack*

The cracks on the Magic Beast Egg in her hands widened even further, seeing that, both Octavius and Orion stepped back on their own, making sure that they weren’t marked as the Beast’s parents by mistake.

*Crack*

The crack in the Eggshell widened, a minute later, a small, white-colored paw pushed open the little shell. As if that was the start, it didn’t take long for the paw to continuously remove more and more pieces of eggshell, making enough space for it to be completely visible and once it had removed more than half of the Egg Shell, it stopped moving finally glanced at the two people looking at him with big smiles on their faces.

“Vaan!! It is so adorable!!’

Elara exclaimed, her heart fluttered the moment her eyes fell on the adorable creature in front of her.

The pup had pure white fur all over its skin, red colored ears, three horns, and an armor that was made out of a red material,

“Aauu…”

The little beast let out its voice for the first time, melting Elara’s heart in the process. Its eyes were stuck on Vaan and Elara as if he was marking them.

Elara couldn’t hold herself back any longer and finally picked the little guy up in her arms.

The little beast, despite being born just now, was already bigger than Flamey and was around 15 cm tall, its fur was extremely soft, and right now, he only had 2 teeth in his mouth, making him look quite adorable.

“A Rubyborn Infernal huh… it is not a bad choice for a Familiar…”

Octavius commented as he glanced at the beast.

“And it is a he.” He spoke. Then, turning towards Vaan, who seemed to be lost in his thoughts, he questioned,

“Have you thought a name for him yet?”

Vaan shook his head, “I will let her decide.”

“…”

Octavius didn’t say anything.

He just couldn’t help but notice how similar the father and son pair was, it was an answer he was sure Orion would give if he and Astra had bought a Magic Beast together.

Elara smiled when she heard Vaan’s words. After all, the woman had already come up with a name the moment she attended her first Familiar Taming Class and realized that they would eventually need to buy a Magic Beast.

She had a total of 8 names in her mind, each for a beast of a different gender depending on what major attribute they were born with,

In the case of this one,

“Since Rubyborn Infernals are flame-related Beasts, I was thinking of the name Inferno, while we, as his parents would call him Furr.”

Elara spoke as she glanced at Vaan with a big smile on her face, waiting for his opinion.

Vaan, on the other hand, blinked in surprise, he couldn’t believe that the woman had come up with a name so quickly, also, what was she doing looking at him for opinions?

The names he came up with were Flamey, Splashy, and Breazy. No names could be worse than these, let alone Inferno which inherently sounds badass, not to mention the woman had also come up with a nickname that matches the name.

However, seeing as how the woman was still looking at him with those red eyes shining intensely, Vaan knew she would only calm down if he gave his opinion.

Vaan sighed but just as he was about to nod,

“Auu!”

The Beast, as if understanding what was happening, started licking Elara’s cheeks with a cheerful look on his face.

“Well, I guess no further opinions are needed, the little guy likes the name.”

Orion commented with a smile.

He spoke as he stared at the beast, now known as Furr, without any particular change in his expression.

Just like Flamey said, Furr was cute, Vaan however, wasn’t much of a pet guy from the beginning, he simply bought it because he was required to, not to mention Elara seemed to be looking forward to it.

“Vaan! Look at how cute he is!”

Elara spoke as she pushed Furr towards Vaan.

Vaan smiled, holding the Beast in his arms. Despite its size, the Beast was lightweight, his fur was indeed soft and Vaan felt good when he held it.

Holding him felt quite different compared to when he first felt Flamey and the other Spirits, the Spirits were much smaller and delicate looking compared to him, therefore, Vaan always held them with care, making sure to keep a loose grip and let them hold him tightly instead.

The fact that all his first meetings with Spirits have always been with the spirits being wary of him, he was even more careful when he dealt with them.

Right now, however, things are different.

The Rubyborn Infernals were gentle and human-friendly beasts to begin with. Not to mention, Furr had already marked the two of them as his parents, so unlike the wary look the Spirits usually had when they first met Vaan, Furr was already looking at Vaan with shiny eyes and the moment he got the opportunity, he started licking Vaan’s cheeks, begging for more love and care.

Even Vaan, who wasn’t very interested in pets and stuff couldn’t help but give into the cute gaze and started gently kneading the pup’s belly.

*purr*

The little beast started purring as he closed his eyes.

The scenery was so cute that Vaan couldn’t help but blink in surprise. It was a novel experience for him.

“See!? I said it is cute!!”

The little Flamey who had been silent this entire time exclaimed as well. She, along with her two sisters had already surrounded Furr, however, just like any other living being, the Furr couldn’t sense their presence.

The little Spirits pouted, even though they had already expected it, the fact that they couldn’t interact with such an adorable beast still made their heart ache.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Elara couldn’t help but smile wryly, she wanted to cheer the little girls up, however, since Octavius and Orion were with them, she couldn’t acknowledge the spirits’ presence.

She could only postpone the cheering up.

Vaan had the same thoughts in his mind as well. He just smiled at the three Spirits before he passed Furr back to Elara.

“He must be exhausted after coming out of its Shell, let him rest,” Vaan spoke.

Elara nodded in understanding.

She had already done her fair bit of study the moment she bought the Rubyborn Infernal. She couldn’t say that she knew everything there was to know about them, however, in just one day that she received, she had already learned every basic thing there was to learn about a baby Rubyborn Infernal and how to take care of it in the best way possible.

Of course, the best resting space for the little guy, combined with the best food with the most nutritional value, and the best grooming tools were bought and stored inside the Mansion they lived in. Heck, Elara even made sure to research the best set of exercises to keep the little guy healthy.

The woman had already created a perfect timetable that would allow her to spend the most amount of time with her little guy.

Yes, Elara indeed had the making of a great mother.

The girl was already ready to shower all her love on the little guy she had just met, Furr was going to be the luckiest Magic Beast alive, Elara was going to make sure of that.

“Alright, since we are done with what we came here for, we should take our leave now.” Suddenly, Orion spoke up.

He then glanced at his son and,

“Is your talk with the Headmaster complete or is there something else you need to ask?”

“No, we are done.” Vaan nodded as he glanced at Octavius.

The old man had already clarified that other than getting all students on his side and permitting his leave, the only way to leave the Academy was to get expelled, which, was not an option.

So the only thing he could now do was to talk with his… friend…

As for how that talk would go…

Well, Vaan had no other option but to make sure it goes well, otherwise, things would get troublesome and he would lose more precious time.

“Hmm? It looks like the headmaster gave you an interesting option…”

Seeing the troubled look on his son’s face, Orion couldn’t help but smile. Vaan just stared at his father with a tired look on his face and,

“Let’s just leave.”

He sighed as he then walked forward, leaving the Headmaster’s office. Elara followed her fiancé, and Orion and Octavius, who were the only two left, glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

Something interesting was going to happen very soon.
