Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Chapter 263 Just say that you are weak in front of your future daughter-in-law.

"Make sure that more than 90% of the student body agrees to let you leave, And this includes the Swords Division as well." Octavius spoke and Vaan turned silent. The rest of the Students in the Academy weren't a problem, he could deal with them in some way or another. He also had the Student Council President, he believed that he would be able to convince the woman if he talked to her. At the very least, the woman seemed reasonable enough. The problem, however… was the Swords Division.

The Sword Division was under Declan Dawncrest and with how he was ashamed after they came out of the Ancient Ruins and how even Vaan released a few articles throwing some jabs at the man, Even if it wasn't for the 'not so good' relationship between the two families, if it was something Vaan wanted, Declan would take a step further to make sure Vaan didn't get what he wanted. Vaan was absolutely sure that with Declan's presence, there was no way he would get the approval of more than 90% of the student body. "Is there really no other way…?" Vaan couldn't help but question. "Well, the only other way is to be expelled from the Academy," Octavius shrugged, in this situation, he couldn't help his grandson even if he wanted to. There were simply too many factors for him to consider. "…" Vaan turned silent. Being expelled wasn't an option. The heir of the Vesta Family being expelled from the Academy would ruin the reputation of the Vesta Family, if it was Vaan before, he couldn't have cared less about the reputation. After all, he was a gangster in his previous life, reputation was the last thing he considered. He could get whatever he wanted even without having a reputation, the only difference was that rather than other people doing him favors because of his reputation, they did it out of fear. Honestly, Vaan actually liked this, at the very least, he wasn't required to play any sort of games with the people around him and the dynamics of their relationship were crystal clear. Or at least that was how the previous Vaan views things, Now, however, after staying in the Vesta Family and watching the world from a different perspective, things have changed. Slowly but steadily, Vaan could understand the importance of reputation, he could understand why different families would go so far just to preserve their reputation. He understood the advantages of having people under his beck and call, not because of fear, but because of his reputation. Creating connections was much simpler, he considered these connections weak, however, that was only when you yourself were weak, If you are strong, the connections you create will be strong as well since other people will want to stick to you. Not to mention the connections formed due to fear would be the first to break the moment something happened. The two couldn't be compared. Not to mention they would soon be taking the roles of the messengers of the God of Magic, the Vesta Family couldn't possibly have a bad reputation if Vaan wanted them to walk on the path he was imagining them to. So in the end, Vaan started thinking about different ways to convince Declan. But suddenly, "Sir! You two can't go in without an invitation! These are the rul-" "What gave you the impression that I care about rules?" While Vaan was thinking about a solution, he heard a commotion outside, he turned around, and before he could even think about what was happening, BOOM The doors of the room were burst opened and a familiar figure walked in. Behind him, came a red-haired girl with a timid look on her face, and soon, a few security guards walked in and seeing Octavius, they all paused and lowered their heads with scared looks on their faces, "H-Headmaster! We apologize, we tried stopping him but he just barged in!" The head of the security spoke as he pointed at Orion who stood in the middle of the Office with an unbothered look on his face. Octavius, who observed all the commotion simply sighed, he then glanced at the security guards and, "Don't worry, you all can leave. I was the one who invited him but forgot to send an official invite, it was my mistake." "O-Oh…" The head of security nodded with a stutter, then, he quickly took the rest of his men together with him and the door was reattached using Magic. "They reacted faster than I expected."

Orion commented with an impressed look on his face. Vaan on the other hand, stared at his father with a dumbfounded look on his face. Octavius was the Headmaster of the Agresia Academy, an important figure well-known throughout the world. No matter what, his security couldn't be compromised in any way and it wasn't. The Security team that was responsible for his security was no simple team, it consisted of 10 advanced-level beings. Even a world-class level expert would have a hard time breaking through them and reaching Octavius. Yet here he was… standing in the middle of the headmaster's office with an unbothered look on his face as if he had done nothing big. Vaan knew his father was strong but…

Just how monstrous does one have to be to break through a team of 10 Advanced-level beings!? Also, wasn't his father an advanced level being as well, isn't it the same as defeating 10 beings of his level!? And that too with such… ease…? What…? That was possible…?

"What's with that look on your face? Your father was a Black Card Holder in the Academy, you think just anyone can reach that level?" Noticing the expression on Vaan's face, Octavius spoke up. "Even the current head of the Dawncrest Family didn't receive the Black Card during his time, your father is not weak, boy. Rather, he is stronger than your mother in most cases. Though it is a different thing that right now, he is no different than that woman's guard, tsk." Octavius snorted. Still upset about the fact that Orion was wasting his potential. Orion, on the other hand, ignored his father's words and simply smiled as he glanced at his son, "What? Are you looking down on your father, you brat?" "…you don't look particularly strong. The only thing you do is bully me in the name of training." Vaan snorted. "Is that so…" Orion narrowed his eyes. He wanted to teach the little brat a lesson, right now, however, it wasn't the time for that. "Why are you here?" Octavius questioned. "Well, the little guy is about to hatch." Orion scratched the back of his head and pointed at the Egg Elara was carrying. Noticing the Egg, Octavius narrowed his eyes, "You came here just for that…?" "He was planning to raise a pet, so I thought that the pet recognizing him as a parent would help." Orion replied. Octavius however, narrowed his eyes. How could he not know his own son's personality? freew(e)bnovel.com

There was no way he would make a move in such a situation. Something like this could simply be solved by buying another beast. Since this one would be marked by the girl, the boy can mark the other one, having two pets instead of one. It was no big deal. Well, it would have been a much more expensive option, but Octavius knew that Orion wasn't the one who cared about such things, heck, considering his personality, he would want his son to have more troubles in his life, after all, that way he would only grow to be an even more of a brilliant man who knows how to face troubles.

Someone like Orion making a move himself on something so insignificant…

Octavius couldn't understand the reasoning behind it… until…

His eyes fell on the girl carrying the Egg and her moist eyes. "…" In an instant, Octavius realized it. "You gave into the little girl huh." "What are you talking about?" Orion questioned back, feigning ignorance. Octavius just chuckled, "Don't try to fool me, you may act strict in front of your own son, but you adore that girl who did so much for your foolish son when he wasn't in his right mind." Hearing Octavius's words, Orion glanced at Elara, who had rushed towards Vaan and the two were currently waiting for the Egg to hatch with excited looks on their faces. "That girl has suffered a lot because of that fool, She shouldn't suffer more." "She won't be 'suffering' just because she didn't get to raise a beast together with her fiancé. It is not that big of a deal." Octavius tried to reason. "Oh yeah? Try saying that in front of that girl when she looks at you with her eyes that could tear up any instant." Orion snorted. Octavius on the other hand, just chuckled, "Just say that you are weak in front of your future daughter-in-law." "…" Orion didn't say anything. Crack "Vaan! Vaan! It is coming out!" Suddenly, Elara exclaimed with an excited look on her face and Orion, who was looking at his daughter-in-law from afar couldn't help but smile when she saw the big smile on her face. Octavius just shook his head when he saw his son's side. Perhaps this 'weak' side of his perfect son made him so strong…fre ewebno vel.com
