Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits



"Aaagghh! Y-Young Master Vaan!"

"Ugghhh…"

"Guuuhhh..."

"Khawwk! Khawwwkk!!"

"S-Stop! Stop!!"

The three Young Mages groaned in pain and begged Vaan to stop as he jumped over them and started punching them without any mercy.

At first, the three mages were taken aback, none of them expected that Vaan would take such an action, before they could react, Vaan had already punched the one standing in the middle, in just a single punch, the mage could feel his world blurring.

Vaan, however, completely ignored him and turned towards the one standing on the right, this time, however, the other mage dodged the attack, and as if he was already ready for that, Vaan simply ran towards him, taking away any room for dodging the next attack, he aimed at his face, the mage covered his face with both his hands, limiting his own vision and Vaan used this opportunity to ruthlessly kick his abdomen with his knee.

The man coughed, feeling the intense wave of pain coming from his stomach, forcing him to kneel.

One had to know, Vaan was not the same as before, after training with Orion for a good while and doing the set of exercises taught by his father, his strength had increased to an absurd degree. Vaan's blows were much heavier than before.

These three mages were having it rougher than Aldric, Asher, and others.

By now, the third Mage had already came out of his reverie and while Vaan was attacking the second one, he rushed towards him from behind and pushed him.

Or at least that was what he planned to do, however, Vaan quickly sensed his presence, moved gracefully, and used his own momentum against him to throw him on the ground. Then, Vaan punched the first mage on the nose again before kicking his abdomen and smashing his face onto the ground.

Within a minute, the three Mages were lying on the floor, unable to grasp the situation and groaning in pain.

Of course, this didn't mean Vaan was done.

This was just the start.

With his opponents down, he ruthlessly started stomping them all, brutally attacking their faces, not giving them any chance to recover.

The Mages continued to groan in pain, trying to block Vaan's attack by covering their faces with their arms, Vaan however, completely ignored those arms, his blows were so strong that even their arms were hurting and couldn't last long.

"Y-Young Master V-Vaan! S-Stop! W-We admit defeat!"

They had no option but to give in and beg for mercy. Unfortunately, Vaan wasn't one of those forgiving types.

Not to mention that he was already in a bad mood to begin with. He continued to thrash the three mages, attacking them to the point where they could feel their arms burning and trembling in pain.

They were helpless, and in the end, their helplessness turned into anger.

"You fucking bastard! Make sure you kill me now because if you don't, you will pay for today!"

The mage who was attacked first shouted in anger and hearing what he said, Vaan paused.

"What did you say?"

He questioned as he crouched next to the Mage's head. The Mage, however, was not intimidated and,

"I said what I said you waste. You think you are some hot shot just because you attacked me by surprise, you are a stain on the Vesta name, no, you are a stain in the name of Mages!"

"Is that so…"

Vaan muttered.

Then, he grabbed the Mage's hair and,

"You are quite daring I must admit."

"What's daring in it? Do you think we actually fear you? You are nothing more than a waste luckily born as Family Head's only son." The second mage spoke up.

"To say that while lying on the ground with bruises all over you, that is quite amusing as well." Vaan chuckled.

The Mage's mouth twitched and,

"Isn't your face all bruised as well? What? Did they not even use heal on you? Is that the extent to which you have fallen?"

This time, Vaan was the one whose mouth twitched in annoyance as he recalled what happened before. His father ordered the healers to not use Heal on him because he wanted Vaan to keep feeling the pain as his punishment for missing his training session.

This was the reason why Vaan was going around with bruises all over his face and seeing this man laughing at him, a vein popped on his forehead and,

"The three of you are clearly looking down on me even though you are the one lying on the floor.

'This wouldn't have happened if he didn't take us by surprise.'

This is what you are thinking, aren't you?"

"Do you even need to ask, don't you already know that's a fact? You wouldn't have attacked us like this if you had the balls to face us directly."

Hearing that answer, Vaan's smile widened. "I am feeling quite generous today.

Why don't I give you a chance to prove yourself?" he questioned.

"Heh, that's not a bad way to feel superior, weaken your opponents by attacking them first, then challenge them 'fairly'. As expected of someone like you, no, just the fact that you came up with a strategy like that is already exceeding the expectation most people here had of you, congratulations." The mage laughed.

"Right, a 1v3 Magic Duel between me and you three is obviously unfair for you lot, I should have considered that, I apologize. Do you need any particular handicap?

Should I fight you with my eyes closed or something? Of course, it may not make it fair but at least you won't lose as embarrassingly as you normally would." Vaan replied but this time, rather than being angry, the three mages were all surprised,

"A Magic Duel…? And a 1v3 at that?"

"Heh, do you want to fight all 3 of us together in a Magic Duel?"

"Was I not clear enough already? Or maybe I hit your head too hard?" Vaan questioned.

"You sure got braver since I last saw you, Vaan."

"Heh,"

Vaan questioned, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden anymore.

"So? Would you like to prove your words in an official Magic Duel?"
