Chapter 214 Magic Wand
============
[Bliss of four seasons]
—> A special magic wand created by an exceptional craftsman by harmonizing four different strong elemental essences.
—> The crafter’s ability to harmonize all the elements is unreal in itself, but the wand resulting from this has special characteristics.
—> All four basic elements: fire, water, earth, and wind are enhanced by a small degree just by using this wand in spell casting but, the result changes by the one who wields it.
—> As you just gave it to one who has an elemental affinity with all four such elements, the harmony of the wand will remain even stable, and the magic while using the wand would be enhanced further.
—>This marvelous wand has all four main seasonal [Extreme Lilies] as their core that are practically extinct.
—> Consumes a high concentration while using but increases the spell strength by 12%.
—> The wand can store [120 Units] of Mana, but the recovery of the used energy would take a longer time.
—> You did better not giving him anything stronger than this one. The boy is still young.
—> You sure are giving away a lot of things the day you meet them.

‘Of course. What are these things worth if no one uses them? Might as well give them to the young ones so that they can work harder.
Well, you are a young one, too. You will understand with time.’
Sighing at my skill’s rare weirdness, I looked at everyone.
I knew they can’t actually see as much information as me with their appraisal skills but at the very least they would know about the four elemental harmonies.
That was almost an impossible thing but, for my master, not even six or even something that can go well with all elements was anything difficult.
I had my own bows like that, so I had no worry or anything. I even had some she made especially for me.
And although those were nothing compared to Ronna, they were far above something like this wand.
But being able to harmonize all the elements meant the maker themselves had a very high affinity with all these four elements to be able to pull off something like this.
And, it surprised the mages even more that they can store that large amount of Mana in that wand.
This was quite amazing, enough to make them speechless and even envy the little boy.
But, well, that was that.
Alf recovered from that shock quickly and just stored the wand inside his storage space to hide it from their greedy looks.
He was a pure mage… hmm, was she talking about this pure? Or the one I was thinking of?
The pure mages used a magic wand, and I had seen the one dad uses a few times. And that one was specially made.
I wanted to have a closer look to know more about that one but, well, we can do that later.
After Alf stored the things away, we went back to the crestfallen family members.
…my family was weird now that I looked at all this behavior.
And her family wasn’t much different, either.
Her dad was looking at ‘us’ talking with ‘eye contact’ with delight all this time while her mother had become best friends with my aunts.
Her grandma was interested in me more than anything right now, while her grandfather was reminiscing about the past with my grandpa.
Well, we were now back and as soon as I reached them, Anna came running toward me and I caught her with the happiest smile.
“Hehehe. Big brothers are awesome~!” The forever best smile… haaa. Heavenly.
Lifting her in the air like in the dining hall, this time, I did something even more fun. 𝚍o𝚟𝚕.org
(: Float)
With a warm wind covering her body, she started floating in the air and a surprised expression covered her cute face.
“Wooooow~! Anna is flying~! Hehehe, just like uncle~!” She giggled as I moved her in the air for a while as she played and, as always, seeing her face made my soul calmer.
She was amazing, more than Alf, Carla even… maybe Rein or me.
And after seeing us fight like this and all, I knew she would want to do something like that too but, she would do it at the normal phase.
She definitely had the potential for being a ‘sorceress’ as well as a weapon wilder like us but, she will need a longer time, which would be normal from a general perspective to reach that stage.
And after she hones her mental fortitude to something similar to mine, which was phenomenal in the first place, she will be able to exert the full potential of her third innate skill.
And that skill was something really amazing, even for me.
One of those cheat skills of this world.
The ability to just understand everything passively was more than what one might think, and its use would be more than just understanding emotions and situations.
She can use this skill to understand practically anything but, for that, she needed to get strong enough to handle the mental burden of those things.
But, well, that was if she wanted to do something like that.
She was still just a little baby… for us, she definitely was just that.
I was around her age when I was thrown into that forest and things were rough at that time.
Thankfully… I survived those horrible things and now I was here with them, and I wanted to just stay like this, with no more plot twists and such things.
But… well… … was it even possible?
Life was uncertain and aside from hoping for a better tomorrow, we can’t do anything.
So, living in the moment was the best choice.
Canceling the spell after Anna was in my hands, I kissed her cute cheeks and she kissed back mine.
And this special kiss of hers…
“My amazing little sister.” I couldn’t stop myself from showering her with genuine praise, and… she was adorable.
“Good work, you two. Both of you are exceptional magicians. Even I am impressed. And you, little Alfred.
Though I am the third to borrow the notes, make sure to send your own notes too.
I might reward you with a little Mana crystal if I like that.”
Rein’s grandma was quite happy but, her words just fell deaf on my ears.
There was another conversation going on between the one beside her and my perfectly fine self.
‘You do look fine but, are you?’ She asked, without making a worried expression.
But that didn’t mean she can hide her feeling from Anna, Zoe, or me.
Funny enough, she was worried about me for no reason.
‘You know this was nothing for me, right? Why worry? You even won the right to have the diary before anyone.’
This was our first day together… and this was barely midnight.
Was it because we were mentally far older and comparatively mature or… was this just that much special?
We were talking like real talking without any form of words or anything, and this was special for both of us.
‘Yes, I did win. But, that’s my win, you cheater. What about compensation for worrying me for no reason?’
‘Rein, oh dear Reinelle. Well, this is getting out of hand for some reason. Ok, I promise I will make it up to you.
But no special ice cream.’
Her sad look vanished as soon as the ploy was caught, and she clicked her tongue.
She will have to do better if she wanted that ice cream again, not that I was falling for her tricks anytime soon… maybe.
Shaking my head at her, I nodded at her grandma.
“It is our honor to receive such warm praise, grandmother.”
I just called her grandmother, as we were talking as a family right now and not with the status.
And she nodded with a pleased smile on that pretty face.
“You are indeed well taught, young boy.”
I smiled at her and she nodded happily, but another something was happening at the back.
Behind her, my grandmother smiled with a pleasant smile and nodded at grandpa.
And he smiled at her, saying something I could not understand.
And that was something funny, and she just laughed at it and gently smacked his strong arms.
They were quite a lovely couple in this family, and maybe they were the reason there was such love between all of us.
It was good…
Shaking my head, I looked into everyone’s eyes one by one, and they all understood… it was time.
I nodded at mom and grandfather and then dad and my grandmother.
Then Rein… and everyone else.
The time has arrived, for me to tell them what had happened and for them to tell me what happened after I was gone.
‘It’s here… the moment I had waited for this long. Maybe now I can cry the tears that never came out of these stoic eyes…’
