Chapter 20: Seriously Considering Dying...Again

The food Isabella prepared for Isaac and Coralia last night was to fill an entire family of 5. Yet Isaac and Coralia ate like their life depended on it, quickly eating plate after plate of food. Isabella just stares at them with a deadpan look. She slightly whispers to herself, "My little mermaid and warrior need to be taught some table manners". She shakes her head after saying that, before continuing washing the dishes that were left by both Isaac and Coralia.

"Your cooking is the best mom". Isaac says with a satisfied smile on his face as he pats his belly, relaxing into the seat.

"So good". Coralia moans out, while holding her cheeks.

As Isabella looks at the two children, she can't but help smile at the sight of the both of them. "Alright you two, go ahead and wash up for bed, I'll be finishing up the dishes". Isabella says. Both Isaac and Coralia walk towards the bathroom before looking at each other.

"You can go first, I plan to think more about my magic anyway". Isaac says as he walks into bedroom and begins to meditate. While Coralia is freshening up, Isaac enters his magical tree. Isaac's magical tree is pretty big at this point, his foundation spell is still as bright and big as ever, while his ability to manipulate the form is also attached to it, following the three small purple orbs representing his throwable spear, his extend, and hunting dagger spells. The new addition to to the magical tree is a orb with the same volume and size as the orb that represents his ability to manipulate form. His ability to channel energy.

"With this, I'm a step closer to creating a range based energy attack. If Victor and Kanade can propel elemental magic from their hands in a single direction after charging their magic, then Isaac should be able to charge energy into his weapon and release it". Isaac thinks to himself as he ponders about how both VIctor and Kanade use their magic. Though not a long time passes, the formation of a small orb attached to the orb for his ability to channel energy begins to take shape, but isn't completely formed due to his lacking of understanding. Isaac meditates a while longer and hears the door to the bathroom open up. Taking it as his time to go take a bath, he goes into the bathroom to wash himself. What Isaac doesn't know is that, Isabella went in to only check on Coralia, and she left immediately after. Coralia had not left yet from the bathroom, and Isaac was about to learn that the hard way. Isaac walks into the bathroom while taking off all his clothing and begins to head towards the bathtub. There is fog covering Isaac's ability to see forward, but he isn't too worried, as Isaac goes to take a step in the bath water, two arms come out and latch out at him from within the water.

"Haha. Gotcha Big Sis Isabella"! Coralia shouts in excitement. Her small twin peaks presses up against Isaac's chest. And her dampened hair covers her eyes. Heat begins to rush up to Isaac's face. Even if Isaac was only 20 in his last life, and is much more mature, his mind couldn't stop the prevention of what his body instinctively did around girls. As Coralia moves her wet hair out of her face and sees Isaac, it feels like the entire world freezes. On this day, the entire town heard a scream that would confuse them to even this day. Coralia's scream is so loud, that Isaac begins to feel his head hurting badly. And then Coralia kicks Isaac sending him sprawling through the bathroom doorway. "PERVERT" she screams at him with a cherry red blush on her face, before slamming the door on him. Isaac just stares dumbfoundedly at the closed door.

"C..Can I at least have my clothes", Isaac asks weakly, feeling red hot from the fact that he had exposed all of himself in front of Coralia. The door opens up slightly before Isaac's clothing slams into his chest, then slams again. As Isaac is is sitting there with his clothes in hand. Isabella has finally rushed up to get to the bathroom. "Isaac, what happened up here!? Is everyone oka..". Before Isabella can even finish saying what she had to say, she looks over at Isaac who doesn't have any clothes on and has his clothes on his lap who is facing the door. She looks back and forth between the door three times before slamming her palm into her hand of understanding. She walks over and sits down next to Isaac. After hugging him, she says in a motherly tone, "I understand my little warrior, the first rejection always hurts, but you shouldn't be trying to advance so hard on any girl, okay, besides you really should be waiting until you are older to be doing anything so scandalous". After Isabella says that, Isaac feels like curling up in bed, and dying.

"It's a misunderstanding mother...I promise". Isaac says with a trace of sadness in his voice. Isabella puts her index finger on his lips and shushes him. "It's okay, I understand honey", Isabella says and returns back downstairs to finish doing the dishes.

"Scratch that, Im seriously considering dying...again", Isaac thinks as he begins to put back on his clothes and waits for Coralia to be finished with her bath. Coralia comes out 10 minute later while staring at Isaac with a angry face. Isaac just stares at the floor with a blush appearing on his face one more. Coralia lets out a breath and turns away before saying, "I'm not mad at you, I know you wouldn't do it on purpose". Isaac was about to explain the situation before a strong sense of malice washes over Isaac as his mana sense goes through the roof, the presence of mana is at the front of the house, and while the malice was new for ISaac to experience, he understood the feeling right away.

"Killing Intent".
