Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Chapter 49 Do You Reeeaaally Want To Know?
"Woah, what is this place?"
Vaan exclaimed in amazement as he looked around. He was inside a large ethereal room, with a white floor, walls, and ceiling. At first glance, this place looked bland, however, as one carefully looked around and observed the patterns engraved on the walls, they would feel a mysteriously calming vibe.
"It's my personal Magic Training Room. The Room used by the Head of the Vesta Family. It has stronger walls and a better regeneration system. It also has Engravings that calm a Mage's mind and allow them to concentrate."
Astra answered with a slight smile on her face.
"Having an amazing mother really is a blessing, isn't it? You get to see so many wonderful things." Vaan chuckled. Astra shook her head as she smiled.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Then, to test his mother's words, he quickly formed his Magic Circle, Flamey appeared next to him to stabilize the circle,
*Flicker*
Firespike was summoned, with [Speed] and [Burst] added to it, Vaan shot the Spike towards the wall and,
*BOOM*
A huge explosion was heard.
"[Burst] really does increase the firepower of the spell, doesn't it?" Vaan commented.
He was impressed and satisfied by the firepower, however, as soon as the smoke cleared up, Vaan froze.
The Wall was completely fine.
"That didn't do any damage…?" Vaan was taken aback.
"No, there is a half-a-centimeter deep hole if you look closely."
Astra pointed out. There wasn't much change in her expression, however, she was proud of her son who had started taking magic seriously. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶
"Aren't these walls too strong? What's the point of testing the magic if you can't even tell how strong your magic is?" Vaan questioned with a frown on his face.
Hearing his question, Astra just smiled, then, she flicked her finger towards the wall and,
*Flicker*
Without any formation of Magic Circle, a Firespike shot toward the wall and,
*BOOOOM*
A louder explosion was heard. The smoke cleared up and,
"What in the..."
Vaan's mouth remained open in shock.
There was a 10 cm deep hole in the wall.
Yes, just this seemingly casual spell from Astra broke the wall that he thought was too strong.
"I am a 7th Circle Mage, Vaan. If the walls aren't durable, I would destroy the room even with my weakest smell.
Don't underestimate your mother, okay? I am quite strong."
Astra chuckled as she jokingly patted her bicep.
"…"
Vaan was still too shocked to say anything.
He knew his mother was strong, but…
What in the hell?
That was just a flick on her finger!
She didn't even create a Magic Circle!
Where are all those Magic Theories now!?
"I-If you had shot that spell outside… how much damage would that have done…?" Suddenly, Vaan questioned.
He was curious.
"Hmm, it is just a casual spell, so it should only destroy a 2-meter big boulder," Astra replied.
"A casual spell huh…
Mother… what if you use your strongest spell…?
How strong would that be?"
Vaan couldn't contain his curiosity and questioning. Hearing that question, a big smile appeared on Astra's face and,
"Hmmmm, do you reeeaaally want to know?" She questioned back.
"I do." Vaan nodded.
*Flick*
Then suddenly, Astra flicked on Vaan's forehead and,
"Stop wasting time on these useless questions and do what we are here for."
"That's cheating! You should answer my question, I am curious!" Vaan retaliated.
"Why should I answer you? Become a 7th Circle Mage and find the answer yourself. You just need to know that your mother is strong."
"I wouldn't know how strong you are if you don't tell me…" Vaan muttered in an extremely low voice.
Of course, Astra still heard him, "I am strong enough to beat you again and again young man. Now better get to what you came here for or I will prove it to you myself."
"Petty…" Vaan muttered. Then, he took out his two Elemental Stones, then, he injected Mana into the Stones and,
*Flicker*
A huge, 3-meter Fire Spike was formed.
*Whoosh*
The Spike rushed towards the wall and,
*BOOOOM*
Another explosion was heard.
This time, a 3 cm deep hole had appeared.
"It has the same strength as the normal Ignispike Pursuit."
Astra commented.
Her tone may have sounded calm, however, her expression wasn't. She glanced at Vaan with her eyes shining, "How did you come up with it?" She questioned.
"I just… got it…" Vaan didn't know how to answer.
"Are you trying to get back at me for earlier?" Astra narrowed her eyes.
"Of course not! I am not like that, Mother. I really don't know how to explain it to you. It is the same as the Magic Circle, I just… got a feeling that it would work and it did...
B-But isn't it a good thing for us?
Ignispike Pursuit is not a weak spell, if we use these patterns rather than the ones used in the books, the Vaan Family's strength would improve to another level!
You can also take the credit for this spell, it would solidify your position as the Family Head even further!"
Vaan spoke, his golden eyes shining brightly.
He could finally help his mother in some way, there is no way he would back away from doing that.
"Are you trying to assist your mother?" Astra questioned with a curious smile on her face.
"Of course! I can only live an easy life if my mother's position as the head is unparalleled." Vaan replied with a proud smile on his face.
"How greedy." Astra chuckled.
Vaan continued to smile.
"But you don't have to worry, Vaan.
Your mother is already unparalleled."
Astra replied.
Vaan didn't know. He was just confused because he saw other family members trying to use him to target Astra, however,
Astra Elysia Vesta was not a normal woman. She was much much stronger than Vaan's wildest imaginations.
Solidifying her position? If truth be told, then Astra's position couldn't be strengthened any further.
In Vesta City, she was an absolute being.
