"Is this really something that should be displayed here?? Damn all this is just....just ....sigh don't even know the words..." Ryan stared at his own status card without saying a word. When his family watched him like this they had bad feeling about the situation, before this, they saw Ryan this quiet only few times. They had never seen Ryan serious, like this before. As they for the most part, were having wild thoughts, the status card shined brightly and flew towards Ryan, then disappeared in his body.

"What is the problem Ryan? Don't scare us like that, if there is something wrong you don't have to worry, we will find a solution to your sort out the problem." Jenny couldn't take it any more. She broke the silence in the room, came to Ryan and hugged him while reassuring him.. she thought that, Ryan saw something that has problem in it or his expectations may have broke, so he can't take the setback. Hearing Jenny, Ryan snapped out of his own thoughts.

"Mom, my problem is too big that no one can solve anymore. Sigh, you won't understand..just see for yourself." Ryan replied to her and than took out his status card and presented it in front of everyone.

Now this was there turn to stare at the status card blankly. They all had their mouths closed while Jenny covered it with her hands.

They have seen uncountable status cards due to their rank in the kingdom, but such things were first time for them to experience.

"Is that card broken??" Andrew was the first to say this. He had the expression of disbelief on his face.

"Impossible, their was actually never ever any case, in which status card is broken or anyone ever heard about such thing." Hearing Andrew's murmure, Leon disregarded it as quickly.

"But have you ever seen question mark on magic value before?" Although Lamina perfectly understand that status card is not broken but she can't believe that someone can have question mark on magic value.

"Mom is right and see it says all magic in magic types. Doesn't it mean that Ryan can use any magic?, Have anyone ever heard of someone who can use all magic?" Jenny and all others turned towards Leon at this point. It's true that some times he is unreliable but still he was the most experienced in the family, naturally they will ask him.

"Umm..that..that, this is also first time for me, what? Don't stare at me like that. How would I know about such thing?? Hey what's the look in your eyes?" At his answer everyone in the room just stared at him for sometime, before all shook their heads..

"As always.."

"Yeah. No difference."

"That's true..."

"Totally unreliable.."

"Ryan don't be so direct.. don't point out, he might feel depressed." Hearing Ryan say unreliable, Andrew couldn't help but remind him.

"Aye Andrew..you doesn't have to worry. Leon never pays attention to such thing. These has no effect on him." Lamina turned to Andrew as he was explaining Ryan.

"Hey.. what's all this. Do you really think if you all got together, I can't do anything about you??"

"Oh. So is there anything you can do?" Lamina asked back, to which, Leon chose to ignore. He knew that if said anything anymore than, he might be the one who becomes homeless even after being at the rank of Duke.

"Let's just forget this matter.. it doesn't matter what the status shows us. After all good things always belong to family, is our motto. Since Ryan has such good status then where is the problem? Whatever he does we just support him and protect him from the schemes of some people so that, they do not forget that it's not easy to mess with our sigal family." Leon proudly patted his chest as he reminded everyone of their family motto.

"Yeah. What does this change?? Ryan you do what you want just keep a low profile untill you fully grow up and even if you want to do something big just do it. Till then we will protect you. We know that you love learning magic so don't hold back. We are strong enough that no one dares to mess with us no matter the situation. We sigal family came here because we don't want to envolve ourselves with the fights of noble families but if anyone wants to get ruined, then they are welcome, we have never been soft to enemy. Even if emperor himself comes, we have nothing to fear.." listening to Leon who was talking about motto, Andrew felt his blood boil.

"Oh really? You seem to have some thoughts about my brother. I also wants to know how we will deal with him??" At this time, Jenny came behind Andrew and spoke in plan voice, after hearing Jenny everyone else backed away from her but it seems that Andrew was still in the mood and didn't notice..

"Of course we will beat him up like a punching bag...I mean explain him and reason with him with all seriousness. He is your brother after all, it means my brother in-law. Can't fight him right? We should avoid family Fighting in themselves right. How much I respect him, you should know that." 'almost slipped my tongue and got caught by death herself, Andrew control your words..' Andrew sigh inwardly as he felt thankful that he controlled himself from saying something that can take him to his grave today...

"Really??"

"That's for sure... Have I ever lied to you?" Seeing that Jenny had plane face without much changes in the expression, Andrew was panicking inwardly while cold sweat covered his back at this point, but he also kept his face straight and said with serious expression..

"Hump... I will talk to you later." Kicking his toes, Jenny got near Ryan...

"Why are you quiet? What's the problem?" Placing her hand on Ryan's head, she asked with worried tone..

"Oh nothing.. I was just thinking.. why is my acquired skill are this few??" At his answer, they almost slipped and hit the floor.

"You are worried about that??"

"Of course. Otherwise what should I be worried about?? Since I have unknown magic value, means my magic value can't be calculated. As for all magic in magic types, isn't it a good thing? I will have option to learn any kind of magic, really cool right. When I can do different types of magic, that would look so cool right.. hehehe when I am proficient to some extent using my S-rank magic talent and with my unknown magic value I will be invincible right??" Others sighed that Ryan wasn't having any problem. But still thought that Ryan will be careless just because of these.

"Okay.. don't go that high just because you have high status, first learn how to use magic and become proficient in magic and close combat. As for what to show everyone outside, you only use fire magic and space- dimension magic to show people what type of magic you have awakened. Fire magic is what your mother is proficient in and your grandmother is famous for space-dimension magic, so there will be not much suspicion, even if you use these rare magics." Leon started his calculation when he saw that others have calmed down after the initial shock.

"Yeah... I will order some people to make a training ground below our mansion like a secret room for you to practice. Can't let you practice in the garden now can I?" Andrew laughed heartly at the moment.

"Don't doubt why we only told you to use two types of magic outside. It's not that we are afraid of any people troubling us by targeting you or attacking you. But if words really got out that you can use many types of magic, we won't be able to continue to live here peaceful. Because of the strength we four have, people with ambition and schemes against us run even from our shadows. With it you still have to go and see outside world right? You are next generation Duke, many people already have their eyes on you and if they comes to know that you have rare talent with huge potential in magic, you can imagine what might happen to you. Keeping secrets and not showing your all cards to other is best from strategic point of view." Ryan listened carefully to everything his family said to him and decided it would be best to not catch too much attention, so not to cause trouble to himself and also his family.

"Learning magic is not easy and you have this many options, it will take you a long to practice all them. The magic you expose outside is what you can practice outside but we can't provide any teacher for you to help you understand other magic and you have to learn from yourself."
