Chapter 4

"TWO COLOURS" Veronica screamed

Molly looked at her with a smug face but still asked her to calm down.

"calm down CALM DOWN! You want me to calm down after hearing your kid has a chance of being a dual caster, what magic is red and gold again" Veronica was searching the book with a speed that shocked even Arthur.

"Ok, it says here that gold means he has a high affiliation with..... Holy shit"

"language" molly moaned

"molly..... Your son has an affiliation with holy magic"

Molly's eyes winded with shock

"don't... Don't you need to live in one of the holy countries to get that... And even then... Holy shit" molly started to sware herself now

"I'm sorry Veronica I need to go talk to my husband"

"Don't you want to check the other.." but before she could even finish Molly and Arthur were already gone

"Well that's that Toby, why don't we go home"

"mum... What does Holy shit mean"

Back at the cabin molly was sitting at the dinner table waiting for Jack to come back home from work, putting Arthur in his crib which he's already trying to climb out of

When he finally returned home and heard what had happened his face suddenly became bright

"This is brilliant! why do you look so serious? Aren't you happy, I always knew our son was one in a million and here's the proof"

"But... But what if they take him away, you know how secretive and protective the Holy countries are... What if they take my baby boy"

Jack's face suddenly became serious, he picked up the book and started reading

"look here, it's only specks of gold, according to the book that means its an enhancement of the base magic and not the magic itself, like holy fire or holy water, also were nowhere near the holy countries and I vary much doubt thell Cross the whole continent for a child that might not even become a mage who has a speck of holy magic, it means as long as we don't tell anyone, no one has to know"

Molly sat there in silence and stared at Jack with a guilty look

"molly... Who else knows"

".... Veronica... And Toby"

"sighhhh, no use fussing over it now, what are we doing talking about the enhancement, what's his main magic," Jack asked with excitement.

Arthur long since stopped trying to climb out of the crib and was also playing attention and molly was flicking through the book looking for what red meant but a frown formed on her face.

"I can't find red!"

Arthur looked at the flask again

"Are we sure it's not a really odd shade of orange, you know, for fire"

Molly and Jack continued to discuss it with no success and eventually decided to leave it.

Months passed again and it was yet another special day for Arthur

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" His parents yelled

'how do they know? I swear I haven't seen a calendar here once' he thought to himself

Arthur stood up from his spot and made his way to his parents who were holding presents for him, Jack handed his first

"here you go Arthur, just like the one daddy used to have back in the day"

Arthur unwrapped the present and found a wooden short sword and a book titled

'introduction to the basics of sword play'

Arthur immediately got excited

'YES, finally something that's more entertaining than children's toys' and immediately reached down for the... Book.

Back in Arthurs past life he was a very curious person and doesn't like it when he doesn't understand something so that naturally led him to grow interested in books and such.

'you know, I didn't really like you at first, but you've really grown on me old man, at least you treat me better than my last father'

"Thank you da da"

"your welcome son!" his father beamed at him with a smile that can warm the room

Arthur opened the book and was quickly disappointed.

'of course, I can't read it I haven't learned this worlds alphabet yet, I can really be a dumbass sometimes'

Sadly for Arthur curiosity does not equal intelligence.

"how read?" Arthur said still struggling with the words of this world

Molly had the biggest smile on her face at the moment, she and Jack had an argument on what to get him, molly wanted to get him a children's book but Jack wanted to throw him straight into swordplay.

"He's far too young to be doing that Jack what don't you understand about this"

"He's far too young to be reading Molly, I don't expect him to learn anything just to have something to play with"

"you know he's way smarter than other kids his age, look at him, he's already speaking, what's wrong with me wanting him to be able to read"

And that's when they came to a compromise, he'll be given a wooden sword and a picture book on how to use it, so she was over the moon when he wants right for the book.

"of course Arthur darling, come here, mommy will teach you how to read," she said as she made direct eye contact with Jack.

Arthur soon found that this world's alphabet was a lot similar to his old one so he picked it up fairly quickly and by the end of the day he was already reading without much help.

'Hehe, who said I was a dumbass'

Arthur was surprised by how much he liked the book, something about it was screaming to him that he wanted to try it himself.

'there shouldn't be any harm in trying'

He picked up the wooden sword and did a few of the basic moves he saw in the book

'this feels... So right'
