Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

”…”

Octavius stared at Vaan in silence, not knowing what to say.

“What now?”

Vaan questioned with a frown on his face. Octavius, however, simply stared at the boy, his brows slowly furrowing,

“I didn’t think you would actually be able to pull it off.”

Octavius spoke as he glanced at the Voting Poll, he had given Vaan a month to gather the votes, so the voting was still active, however, there was no meaning to watch it any further.

Vaan already had 93% of Votes on his side.

4% were against him while the 3% didn’t vote.

In conclusion, Vaan already won, and only a week had passed since the Poll was launched.

“I can understand Selene, that girl would go out of bounds to help others if she can, you must have exploited that, but…

How did you manage to get the Dawncrests on your side?”

Octavius questioned directly.

“I know you went to the Dawncrests, what did you do? What deal did you make with them?”

“I don’t think you need to know that, Headmaster,” Vaan replied with a smile on his face.

“…”

Octavius turned silent, then, he glanced at Vaan with a grave look on his face and,

“Are you sure you didn’t do anything that you would regret in the future?”

“I did not.

Now can I leave the Academy?”

Vaan questioned, his impatience clear on his face, and seeing that, Octavius couldn’t help but snort inwardly, ‘He is much better to talk to when that girl is with him.’

Octavius was missing Elara’s presence.

Right now, however, Elara was busy taking care of Furr and decided not to leave the house. Heck, she had been skipping classes for the past week, just so she could spend time with little Furr.

And of course, since Elara wasn’t going, Vaan didn’t bother going as well. He simply focused on gathering more votes and spending time with Elara and Furr.

After this, he and Elara were also going to formally create a bond with Furr, turning him into their familiar.

This was also the reason Vaan was in a hurry. He just wanted to get his leave approved and return to his mansion.

Octavius, however, still had questions.

“Are you sure you wish to leave the Academy when the Tournaments Season is about to begin?”

“Why do you think I have been running around the Academy asking for Votes? Of course, I am sure.”

Vaan replied as he glanced at Octavius with a deadpan look on his face.

“…”

Octavius’s mouth twitched.

In the end, he just sighed and,

“When do you want to leave?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” Octavius raised his eyebrow.

“And who will be leaving with you?”

“Me, Elara, Father, Furr, and Seraphina.”

“Seraphina?”

Octavius tilted his head.

“She can be useful sometimes.”

Vaan spoke and Octavius nodded.

Seraphina wasn’t a student who had any big impact in the Academy, her presence didn’t change anything.

As for Orion… well, Octavius already knew that man was only here to protect Vaan, if Vaan was leaving, he wouldn’t spend even a second away from that woman.

“Alright, you all can leave tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Headmaster.”

Vaan nodded with a smile as he then stood up.

Octavius didn’t react, Vaan shrugged as he nodded once again before leaving the Headmaster’s Office.

…

“Is it done?”

As Vaan returned to the Mansion, Elara questioned with a gentle smile on her face.

“Aauuu!!”

Furr, on the other hand, had already rushed towards Vaan, jumped into his arms, and started licking his face.

Vaan found this act like annoying at first, however, the last time he grabbed Furr by his neck and placed him away, Elara started glaring at him, so in the end, he decided to accept and now, he had gotten used to it.

Ruffling Furr’s back, he turned towards Elara and nodded.

Elara’s expression brightened,

“Then should we form the Bond?”

Before Vaan could even reply, the girl already brought out the Instant Spells required to form a Bond with a familiar.

Vaan simply walked towards her with Furr in his hands.

Elara, who had already researched the entire thing quickly activated the Instant Spell, a big Magic Circle was then formed on the ground. Vaan gently placed Furr on top of the shining Magic Circle, Furr looked around with a curious but excited look on his face.

From his expression, it felt like the little guy knew what was going on.

Vaan and Elara, on the other hand, quickly knelt on the ground near Furr.

“We now need to mix our Blood before dropping it on the Magic Circle.”

Vaan nodded in understanding, he glanced at the knife Elara had prepared and quickly made a small cut on his palm, his blood came out, gathering on top of his palm, then, he glanced at Elara and,

“Only cut your finger.”

Elara nodded as she lightly sliced her finger, since Vaan was staring at her intently, she made sure not to make a cut too deep else she knew she was in for a big lecture and the Bond would need to be postponed.

Elara’s blood then dropped onto Vaan’s, Vaan then dropped the mixed blood on top of the Magic Circle and the Circle started shining even more brightly.

“Aaauuu!!”

Furr howled, a strange energy was released from his body. The Magic Circle that was created shined even more brightly. Elara glanced at the entire process with an excited look on her face, as someone who had been studying the entire process for an entire week, she knew everything was going exactly as it should.

However,

“Vaan…”

Flamey, who was sitting on Vaan’s shoulder called out.

“What is it?” Vaan questioned as he turned towards Flamey.

The Fire Spirit, however, frowned in confusion and,

“Something’s wrong…”

“What do you mea-“

Before Vaan could ask,

*Flicker* *Flicker*

Something strange happened.

The Magic Circle started flickering.

Flamey and the other Spirits then glanced in a particular direction and suddenly, a whirlpool of Mana formed in that place.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

“W-What is happening…?”

Elara questioned in panic as she glanced at the whirlpool.

“You can see that?” Vaan questioned with a confused look on his face.

“Of course I can!” Elara answered, her voice slightly high because of her worry. Vaan’s frown deepened even further.

‘She can see Faith energy now…?’

He was confused, but then,

“It is Mana.”

Flamey, who understood that Vaan had confused the Mana whirlpool with Faith Energy’s whirlpool answered.

“Mana…?”

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Flamey then pointed her finger at the curtains that were billowing nonstop and,

“Faith Energy doesn’t interact with real objects. Its whirlpool shouldn’t make the wind flow so unevenly, it is not Faith Energy…

It is… Physical form… of Mana…”

Flamey clarified and Vaan couldn’t help but blink in surprise.

According to the Magic theory and principles he has read so far, Magic was like Aura, it couldn’t be seen and could only be felt.

Something like the Physical form of Mana doesn’t exist…

Then what was Flamey talking about?

Of course, this time, Vaan couldn’t doubt the little spirit either, if before, she was just a child, then now, she was the incarnation of the Magic God.

She was the last person who would be wrong about something related to Magic.

“What is happening here!?”

Suddenly, Orion, who noticed the commotion quickly barged into the room, however, seeing how everything was a mess with strong wind currents flowing in the room, papers flying all over the place, curtains billowing, and how in the middle of the chaos, Vaan, Elara, Furr and the big Magic circle were present, Orion couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

“Fa-“

Vaan wanted to talk to Orion, however, his attention was quickly grabbed by Breezy, who pointed in another direction.

He turned around and noticed another whirlpool of Mana forming.

*Flicker* *Flicker*

The Magic Circle started flickering even more, it was as if it was losing its energy, however, an unknown force was keeping it active.

*Whoosh* *Whoosh*

The second whirlpool was formed successfully, resisting the wind currents of the first whirlpool and creating an ever bigger mess of the room.

“Weren’t you two going to form a Bond!? What the hell is this!? What did you two do!?” Orion shouted, the wind currents were so strong that even he had to cover his eyes as he walked in.

“As if I know!” Vaan shouted back, even he couldn’t understand what was happening.

This, however, wasn’t the end of the situation,

One by one, more and more Mana Whirlpools were formed, the wind currents became even stronger, and now, even the small objects had started flying around the room.

It was as if someone had summoned a Tornedo right inside the room.

*Bam* *Bam*

The objects started to clash with each other, the door and windows banged continuously,

“Vaan!”

Elara panicked, hugging Vaan as tightly as she could.

“Aaauuu…”

Fur had a nervous look on his face as well.

This time, even Orion was helpless. If it was a normal Magic Spell, he could have sliced away the Mana source, ending the spell, these whirlpools however… didn’t seem to have a source.

“Flamey, what is happening…?”

In defeat, Vaan turned towards the only person who could come up with an answer.

This time, however, even Flamey was helpless and shook her head.

“Don’t know…”

Vaan narrowed his eyes, but then suddenly,

Another surprising thing happened,

The whirlpools of Mana that had formed inside the room all rushed towards Furr and entered his body, the Magic Circle under Furr shined brightly before it finally disappeared and suddenly, Vaan and Elara could feel a certain connection with Furr.

The Bond… was successfully formed.
