Chapter 12 Planning

The streets in the center of Moon Gap City looked congested, but there were no traffic violations. They waited neatly at the edge of the sidewalk for the light to turn green. Archie Steaphan was busy with his cell phone in his hand.

The other two people who followed didn't seem to care about the people who looked at them strangely. It was a bright and busy morning that day. They have their own busy lives. Other people's concerns about them are very different.

Usually, when there is an important meeting or gathering, you will look for a closed place or a place that supports the atmosphere. Archie is a free person who takes the two people to a restaurant with a beautiful view of the ocean.

Are you looking for a romantic friend or a date?

Have a date under the beautiful moonlight. Three men have a date in a fancy restaurant.

No need to walk far. Beautiful Lady of The Sea is a restaurant with a beautiful ocean view, pleasant beach, fine sand and clear sea.

"This time I will treat you, Oakley, Barnes."

The two didn't talk much. The three of them took seats facing the ocean. The sea view is very beautiful, very pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the menu on the tablet screen. Choose dishes that are in fashion and at least dessert. Very convenient, no need to call for the restaurant waiter.

No need to wait long, two waitresses brought a cart full of dishes. But Archie couldn't take his eyes off the two beautiful waitresses. He is a normal man, looking at women who are beautiful and have a very nice body shape. Of course he was very tempted. But he had his limits, unlike the man named Oakley.

The man stared at the two female waiters with a look like a hungry wolf. Even though there were different kinds of dishes on the table, the man chose the soft dish in front of his eyes.

Archie didn't fail to utter soft and gentle words of praise, making the two women blush.

"If there's another chance, I'd like to get to know you better," he said with a small smile and a wink.

Women will easily blush and giggle. Little flirtations and compliments like that can easily make a woman feel like she likes a handsome man. What's more, Archie has a very high level of trust. Of the three men at the table, Archie had a handsome and charming face.

Someone grunted and brutally cut open a roast turkey and ate it in a way that looked inhumane. Fortunately, it wasn't a holiday, so there weren't many visitors, and no one saw Oakley eating very greedily. You can see two of his fangs sticking out.

"Can't you just eat casually? You look like a wild animal!"

Archie said it casually and kindly, but his words contained insults. Oakley thumped the table, drawing the attention of several people. "Must I eat elegantly?!"

"It's better than you being the center of attention," Archie said, still wearing a friendly smile.

"Oakley, eat in peace." Barnes also replied.

Bringing two strange people to a fancy restaurant was embarrassing, but Archie really needed them when he had a difficult mission.

Oakley gets angry easily, and when the moon is full, Archie has to be especially patient. Not with Barnes, who is the easiest to work with. Of course, if you invite them to eat in a comfortable place and treat them, it will be easier.

"Two weeks ago, didn't Master tell you to keep an eye on dark magic items? But why are you making trouble in front of non-wizard?"

Barnes pulled out the tablet and displayed a message, "The collapse of the Night Party Tower, the investigation is still ongoing and will probably involve an expert mage. There is no element of damage, the possibility of deliberate action by a mage, and the disappearance of half of the tower that collapsed has now been discovered. The half of the tower that collapsed was in Glorious Star City, in a village to be exact.

"Fortunately, it wasn't actually in Glorious Star City. It was very surprising and made me curious." Archie cut a beef steak, the piece of meat was very tender in his mouth. "Besides. Barnes, I'm not causing any trouble. I just found a very interesting toy."

"Archie always argues with Master, just like he does." Oakley was still vengeful, but he lowered his tone.

"It is not appropriate for us to talk about Master. He is a great man." Barnes didn't touch his food at all, but was interested in chatting with Archie. "Who's your new toy?"

"How long has it been since I saw him? Maybe ten thousand years? A wizard with moon-blue eyes who possesses a very rare and unique magic technique. A wizard who once defeated the Dark Wizard."

"You mean the Moon Wizard? He's alive again in this era?" Barnes' face stiffened and seemed interested in the story.

"It can't be proven at all. You can call it reincarnation, offspring, or a new generation. Historical records say that the Moon Wizard has no descendants at all. No one is saying that if the Moon Wizardhas descendants, his power will automatically be passed on to his descendants. Same with code genetics. That's what non-wizard study."

"It's true, the Moon Sorcerer had no offspring at all. His life ended when he sealed the Dark Wizard. There was something that wasn't written down in the historical records, or the Moon Wizard didn't tell anyone. With a reincarnation ritual."

His stomach began to growl. Barnes could no longer waste the delicious food in front of him, his ears and eyes focused on the interesting conversation.

"Reincarnation ritual? It's a dark curse spell. It's strictly forbidden and no one can use it, even if you're a Grandmaster wizard."

Archie snapped his fingers. "That is absolutely true. No one can use the Reincarnation Ritual. But I fought that moon-blue-eyed boy. He was only twelve years old, but his strength was developing quite well. Maybe this boy will shock the world in a few years. The Moon Wizard had no descendants at all. His life ended when he sealed the Dark Wizard. There was something that wasn't written down in the historical records, or the Moon Wizard didn't tell anyone.

***

The lessons taught by Professor Bathilda look simple, but in practice they are quite difficult. Using Magic Element techniques is not as easy as you think. Seeing that his classmates had Magic Element techniques and Lucas didn't have any Magic Element techniques at all, it was only now that he felt anger and lack of confidence.

Lucas had always thought of himself as a genius and great, the most outstanding talented student. It was only in the academic field that he was quite prominent, directly practicing martial arts techniques. But the mastery of magic element techniques and magic element manipulation. Lucas couldn't use any Magic Element techniques at all.

"Don't get discouraged. You are great, Lucas. Why did I recommend you to Academic Magic at the beginning of our meeting? Because I never failed to see a talented student in front of me," Professor Bathilda said. The woman smiled for the first time, unlike her usual stern and cold demeanor. Encouragement.

Since running away from home, Lucas has not contacted Karina or Edward. He deliberately deactivated his cell phone and kept it in his room.

What he wanted was to spend time at night practicing his magic. It wasn't just Lucas who had a little trouble. Peter had a more complicated problem. Among more than a hundred students, one of them, Peter, was still far behind.

Choose free time, like afternoons and evenings. Peter took the time to practice wind magic techniques. He practiced endlessly and failed many times. But he didn't give up.

Lucas and Peter decided to practice in the training room. A rather large room, the size of a football field, but indoors. They practiced into the night, in a soundproof room. No one would be disturbed.

On the other hand, Peter trained so hard that his body was covered with bruises all over. Lucas channeled small amounts of mana into his palm. The blow wasn't that big. Peter tried to block the blow with wind magic techniques. But his efforts still failed.

This was the twelfth time Peter had fallen to the ground. Lucas counted how many times Peter had failed to parry his blows.

Peter is a wizard with wind magic techniques, but his ability to manipulate wind magic is very poor.
