CHAPTER II: The Birth of a Prodigy
Umm…. Why is mom here? And why's there so many people in the door?....
[
[SKILL TREE: LIGHT – LVL 1]
All of the housekeepers that were suppose to follow my mom to bring food for us was filled with awe. A 2-year-old kid who can barely walk yet cast a spell without muttering word. Casting a light that can almost damage the eye without protection.
There's one thing that Yui didn't told Lars about. It's that it takes a lot of stamina to cast a spell without muttering a single world, hence a voiceless cast.
Miss Yui, give me the full explanation on what happen before I saw Lars casting a light spell.
Well Mrs. Floir, I was teaching him how to cast a magic spell. I showed him how to properly cast a [Aquatic Orb], then I showed him how to cast it without using your voice, then I explained to him how to cast without using your voice by imagining what you truly want to cast, and then that's it.
Lars, was it that all of your doing?
Crap, did I do something wrong? The looks on my mom is somewhat scary! Will I be punished if I said yes? There's no other choice…
Hmm… (nodded)
I KNEW IT! MY SON IS A GENIUS WHEN HE WAS BORN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, AT THE AGE OF 2, YOU CAN ALREADY CAST A SPELL WITHOUT A VOICE, AND IT WAS SUPER BRIGHT TOO!
Eh?... Was the light that I cast was really that strong? I didn't expect such reaction when it comes to casting a light spell.
Everyone we're having a feast tonight! We will celebrate his achievements! And, his dad is also coming home!
EHHH?!!... My dad? Is? Coming? Home?...
Few hours have gone by. Lars and his mother are preparing to be dressed up for the party they had prepared.
It was a fine evening. We don't have any visitors from another noble but at least we can celebrate the party with our butlers, knights, and maids. I was nervous meeting my father. I don't know his personality is. He maybe a cold-blooded heart father, or a deadbeat father. But I doubt that he's a deadbeat, I mean just look at my mom. Still looking young, fresh looking, beautiful, anything that you could name of. I hope that he's a sweet father.
Here he comes son, make sure to greet your father properly.
Welcome home Mr. Floir.
Hello everyone! It's nice seeing all of you guys again. I'll announce the result of the war we had to the neighbouring country. As you may all know that they tried to invade our territory because we were looked down. However, we remained victorious! They underestimated our power. I swear upon my people that I will keep all of you protected under my watch!
Everyone is clapping, cheering for my father victorious win at war. I never thought we were at war considering how peaceful the area was, and how my mother is so calm. Or is she? Now that I think about it, I might have probably caused her to be panicked when I left by her side. She must think that I got kidnapped right by her side. I'm really sorry mom for making you worry that much.
Huh? My father is coming right straight to me and mom. Does he want to see me?
Hi there honey.
Hello honey, have you heard the news about our son?
No, what about it? (Hi there son)
He can cast a light spell.
LIGHT SPELL?!?!
Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him casting it…. Without a voice….
VOICELESS CHANT??!!
YES! Isn't it amazing? Our son is a prodigy!
I can't believe my son can use light spell!
Eh? Was light spell really that rare? I really need to gather some books to learn about some spells. I'll try to sneak out of here to get into the library while everyone is distracted.
Everyone was celebrating the party. No one noticed me, I successfully sneaked out of the party area where I headed to the library to investigate how magic really works in here.
Few minutes go by, I was inside of the library trying to find a book where it could explain to me how magic really works in here.
[Earth Magic for Beginners: A Guide to Terra Spells]
Huh, a beginners book for earth spell. This could be interesting.
Let see, the first step is to aim where you want to aim. Let's aim for that glass.
Second is to repeat what it says. 『 O Earths ground, Lend me thy strength. Stone blast! 』
A loud crack of the glass was heard at the library. Everyone is on alert that someone might have broken in. They noticed that Lars weren't around. They quickly try to find him, hoping that he wasn't kidnapped. They checked everywhere, except for the library. The sound of glass cracking continues. They hurried to go to the library hoping that Lars is okay and isn't kidnapped. They hurriedly open the window just to find Lars trying to learn earth magic.
Dear god, you scared us Lars, this is where have you been in for the last hour? And no one even noticed you sneaking out of the party just to go to the library?!
I shook my head. I was nervous because of what I did to the glasses. I'm sure that I'm going to be punished.
Lars, come with me.
I crawled to get to my dad. As he picked me up, we walked around the house while lecturing me. But I guess this bring me comfort too. Unlike what I experienced during on the older world. I experienced beating by just doing a simple mistake. I would get slapped by the belt, a wooden board, etc… I almost killed myself back then, but as I grew older. It died down, the beating rarely happened. Even though it rarely happened, I wanted that revenge, how they abused me to the point that I struggled to crawl. It was a dark time of my life back then.
Lars, can you close your eyes?
Huh? What for? Oh well, I guess I can obey this.
Now open your eyes.
Happy birthday Lars!
Everyone said happy birthday to me, it was my first time having this, even in my past life. I didn't get to experience this. It truly makes me want to appreciate how I live right now. After all that pain and suffering I endured. I can at least spend time with this family, and they even cherished me, I want this kind of life forever, I want this kind of peacefulness even if we're at war. I truly adore this family. They love for me the most, they are caring, gentle with me, gives me the attention that I want. I hope I'm not dreaming right now. I just wished this to happen to me on my past life. But now, it really is happening to me. If god really truly exist. I thank you for it. For accepting my wishes.
Aww, Lars is crying, he must have really liked it.
Mom, dad, thank you for being my parents, I hope that you will all live long enough to see me grow.
He-he talked?...
