The gift
That liar! It's been two months and he hasn't tried to contact me at all. He was right, advancing to level 4 is definitely not something that'll be achieved in months. The good news are that I managed to get to level 3 a month ago so hurray to that.
Right now I'm practicing my attacks against 10 frogs who's speed has increased greatly and he wasn't alone, the navy balls were floating around firing energy beans non stop. I had to kill the frogs while I had to maintain my aqua shield to protect myself from the energy beans , it was a challenge cause even though my shield bounces beams back to the balls destroying them , one destroyed ball will make two more appear. Everytime I try to attack a frog the beams will intensify in protecting the frog which isn't fair but if this helps me break through to the next level I will gladly wish to be cheated on like I am now.
" You better break through quickly, I don't want that inferior boy to beat you in fact that trash boy beat you" said Calestia, ever since he and Eclipse had a staring contest he has become more serious with helping me train. I think it's because he doesn't want to have a contracted human inferior to Eclipse's contracted human. He had to spend two hours explaining how he is superior in appearance, Strength , size? and more nonsense that Eclipse will ever be. So that's why he is pushing me.
I have managed to teach myself how to create water blasts around me without having to create them from my hand, now I can create them without having to take out my hands from my pockets. I can imagine myself looking cool while defeating my enemies with ease. I created seven water blasts and controlled them to be on one frog's trail, I concentrated in controlling the water blasts to dodge the beams while chasing the frog. That action was very impossible and the proof was how the beams intensified and my water blasts were stopped. " How am I supposed to do this , this is impossible!" .
" If you can't figure out such a trivial thing then no human guild will accept you , what if there's a horde of monsters coming for you. What will you do then? To be honest there is no right or wrong way to overcome this training, there's only the 'you way' so better figure out your 'you way' quickly " said Calestia causing me to admit that he is very wise even though he is lazy and only cares about being superior he is very wise. I wonder how old he is?...
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" exclaimed Grandma, Arya and Zoe when I came back from training. I walked in to a house decorated in all kinds of colours , grandma was holding a cake that had 10 candles and they started singing a happy birthday song. I've never , no one has- no! my family has never done this for me. I blinked away my tears having been tired of crying , it's time for me to smile.
" Happy birthday dear "..
"Happy birthday Claudia"..
"Happy birthday Claudia"..
I blew the candles out and they cheered " welcome to the club " said Arya who had hers last month " aw man now it's only me who's still nine" complained Zoe. Arya and I shared a look then we both laughed at her, Zoe and I were both in level 3 sadly Arya is still in level 1. There might be something wrong with her body or how she is doing things, even though she is hiding it everyone can tell that she is not okay about it.
They gave me their gifts and they were all very lovely but there was a forth one and it came from Victor. I excused myself and went to my room, seeing his name brought me out of the happy mood. Why did he send me a gift, not even my mother bothered to send me one. it's probably poison.
I gave it to Calestia to open it, atleast he is powerful and will stop whatever danger that comes in his way. " You're pathetic" said Calestia while opening the gift. " Ah a gold piece of paper and a letter so scary! My beautiful useless sister how is life? Nevermind I don't care I'm sure the past few months have been torture to your pathetic self. I your brother who isn't useless and a disgrace to our family invite you to watch me perform real magic that actually works and isn't decoration. Im participating in our town's competition that'll start in one month so please prepare enough tears for me to see when you witness true power. A carriage will come and get you and if you refuse father will be very angry. ". I felt my blood boil and my body started to burn, he dares to take the time to write all that nonsense. I can imagine him smirking while writing it.
Oh don't worry brother I'll wait, I'll wait for that carriage and you'll see what I have been doing for the past three months. Even father will see.
While having those novel like thoughts Something vibrated in my pocket, it was the mirror that Zara gave me. His face appeared on the mirror making me almost drop it " Hey partner" said Zara with a smirk. " You idiot, it's been two months!" He scratched his head with a weird smile then explained" well a lot happened, lets just say I got grounded and placed in intense training but it's good cause I broke through to level 4" this caused Calestia to huff in annoyance and I fought the urge to laugh at him.
" Anyway there's a request for 20 level 3 bees and 10 level 3 flies " said Zara causing me to feel excited " that's great , when are going to get started?" , " I'm coming over in two days, this time you must buy a storage bag or a storage ring and also get a small weapon you'll use to carve out the mana stones, weapon Claudia! Not a kitchen knife" instructed Zara and I nodded with enthusiasm.
Speaking of storage bags I have a storage magic power and I think it's time I learn how to use it. It's definitely not as useless as Calestia think it is.
