Chapter 5 Night Party Part 2
Something like that never happened, or maybe there were several occasions when Lucas felt his vision expanding, but he didn't realize it.
That is really great and very unique. He had something that could not be explained, a vision that was depicted.
From outside the building, Lucas could see the people inside the building. His eyes kept wandering back and forth until he caught sight of a man in a black robe. The man's figure was in the middle of the crowd.
He didn't know what the man was doing, but he stretched his arms out in front of him. A pink mist hung in the air. The people in the courtyard outside either didn't notice that there was a light red mist above their heads, or they simply didn't see it.
Lucas continued to watch the pink mist move toward the tower, and suddenly it disappeared. Nothing strange or odd. However, his wide-eyed eyes saw a small crack that then widened.
Everyone in the courtyard outside seemed to be having fun and not bothered by anything. However, the tower seemed to be slowly rocking back and forth.
"Hey, what's that?"
A woman begins to notice that something strange is happening to the tower above their heads. Several pairs of eyes turn their heads toward the tower. At first, the event was lively and joyful, but now it has changed to fear and screams. People scattered here and there to save themselves.
The tall tower was tilted extremely. If it falls, there will be many casualties, even the people inside the building will be hit by the falling tower.
The black-robed man was still in his original place, undisturbed by the crowd of people running for their lives. Lucas was very sure that the black-robed man had used magic to cause the tower to collapse. Causing a very deadly accident.
Lucas saw Edward and Karina desperately searching for the whereabouts of their only son who had just disappeared during a tense situation.
The tower was about to collapse. Sirius just grabbed his hand and tried to clear a path for them. But Lucas couldn't just walk away, there was an eight-year-old child who had fallen in the middle of the crowd.
For no reason he took his hand off Sirius and Karina saw him just walk away. Lucas knew his mother was panicking and tried to ask his father to follow him, who had returned to the previous spot.
Lucas spontaneously hugged the frightened little girl, protecting her with his body. The tall tower came closer, and without realizing it, Lucas stretched out his arms and said the word "Disappear.
The 240-meter tower seemed to slow down, and slowly half of the tower's body disappeared, and the tower disappeared completely. Only a cloud of dust remained. Some people who had not yet saved themselves were curled up on the ground.
Everything is safe again. But no one knows why the 240-meter tower suddenly disappeared. Lucas didn't want to think about the confusion surrounding the disappearance of the tower.
The man in the black robe used magic, and the tall tower almost collapsed on the people in the courtyard. Lucas didn't remain silent as the man in the black robe just walked away. This person must be responsible.
"Wait! Don't run!"
A twelve-year-old boy chased after an adult man in a black robe, and the man covered his head with a hood, making it difficult for Lucas to see his face.
The man leaped over the high iron fence with ease, as if he were flying or his body was as light as a feather. Lucas didn't have much trouble climbing the iron fence either, and he ran very fast to catch up with the black-robed man.
His hands clenched into fists, channeling mana into them. But the man easily blocked the blow with one hand, the other reaching forward. Pink mist enveloped Lucas' body.
The pink mist was very thick and Lucas' vision was limited, even though he could see clearly, his vision was suddenly limited. Lucas could not see the presence of the man in the black robe. The man simply disappeared.
A very strong kick, a very strong blow, out of nowhere. Lucas' body hit the ground and he was completely unconscious. The blow that just happened made him unconscious.
***
Lucas thought back to his childhood. Strange things kept happening when Lucas was nine years old. For the first time, Lucas experienced an extraordinary, miraculous event. A life full of fun unknowingly put him in great danger.
Lucas didn't know anything at the time. He was just a nine-year-old kid who had escaped the supervision of Sirius and his parents. A little boy who was very fond of a white cat with black spots that happened to be walking along the side of a busy road. Lucas didn't know that his actions in chasing a white cat with black spots almost cost him his life. The first time Lucas experienced an extraordinary event.
A boxcar hit his little body. There was a chain reaction in his body. Lucas closed his eyes and his tiny hands reached for the boxcar. He didn't want to imagine that something terrible would happen to his life.
But nothing happened, just the sound of screeching tires and people screaming. Lucas opened his eyes, and what he saw was that the boxcar was no longer in front of him. Disappearing for no reason and due to excessive shock, little Lucas fell onto the metal asphalt of the road and became unconscious.
***
Lucas began to wake up, the first thing he saw was a room and himself lying on a hospital bed. There were only white walls and lamplight, but someone was already sitting at the side. The woman had been talking to Karina during the event, before the disaster.
A woman with shoulder-length curly hair and glasses. There are no Karina or Edward here. Where are his parents? Why are they not here?
Thoughts swirled through his head, big question marks.
"I have contacted your parents. They will be here soon. You should rest."
Even though the woman's words seemed gentle, Lucas couldn't rest at all. His eyes were fully awake, and the earlier memories were still vivid in his mind.

"That man in the black robe, he used magic and brought the tower down," Lucas said. Even though he was still in the hospital bed, Lucas could still remember the man clearly. Especially when the man blocked Lucas with pink mist. Lucas was very sure that the pink mist was magic.
"We're investigating. Besides, you were really great when you fought a wizard. The strength in your martial arts is not only the body energy, but also the distribution of mana. Am I right in assuming that you are a wizard?"
What the curly-haired woman said was almost true. Lucas only realized that he was a wizard in the past few years. Besides, he can learn magic and mana energy.
Lucas didn't say anything, but the curly haired woman already had the answer. "Do you want to study at the Illois Magic Academy? You will get what you want, including the opportunity to study and become the strongest wizard."
"I can't just decide like that. I need to talk to my parents about it."
"Do they not know that you are a wizard? You were born a wizard in a non-magical family. That is a very rare miracle." The curly-haired woman was still polite and calm.
"No. They don't know at all, and even if they did, they wouldn't let me into the Magic Academy."
Karina and Edward came after hearing the news that their son had survived and was currently being treated in the hospital. The woman with the curly hair and the glasses was called Bathilda, she introduced herself as a teacher from the Illois Magic Academy and was interested in Lucas becoming a student at the Magic Academy.
