Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits



"Young Master isn't scared, is he?" 

Roland questioned with a slight smile on his face. 

For a moment, Vaan glanced at the plate that was placed on the table. Then, he shook his head and sighed, not now, he was calmer and more reasonable than that, wasn't he? 

"I mean, I do understand your situation, not being born with Magic Talent must be bad, especially when your mother is someone like Lady Astra, haahh… I feel so bad for he-" 

*Crack* 

Nope. 

Fuck it. 

Vaan realized it just now, 

He was not calm and reasonable at all. 

His mother told him to do something about his impulsive attitude… 

But… 

How in the hell is he supposed to let this silver-haired brat talk to him like that? 

Vaan liked to talk down to others, however, others weren't allowed to do that in front of him.

Therefore, before Roland could even complete his sentence, Vaan had already grabbed a plate and smashed it onto Roland's head. 

"Huh…?" 

Roland's eyes remained open as he felt a heavy impact on his head. He couldn't process what had happened, however, he could feel a liquid substance on his head and knew what it was. 

The red color on the broken pieces of the Plate that had fallen on his lap only confirmed his suspicions even further. 

Of course, Vaan wasn't done yet. 

He grabbed another plate, wanting to smash it on Ronald's head again, Roland, however, was different from all the opponents Vaan had faced before. 

He was the face of the Frostmoon Family, a noble family with a decent standing. He wasn't defenseless like other mages. 

Just as Vaan was about to smash Roland's head again, his eyes fell on a shiny object in Roland's hand, Vaan's eyes widened in horror, he reacted quickly and kicked Roland's hand, however, it was already too late. 

The Instant Spell was already activated. 

*Flicker* 

*Whoosh* 

A 30 cm big fireball was formed, Vaan's kick did manage to change its direction, however, his right leg that he kicked Roland with was caught up. 

*BOOOOOMM* 

A huge explosion was heard. 

"AaaaaAgggGGGhHHhhHHH!!" 

Vaan screamed in agony. 

His skin under his right knee was completely burned away, most of the blood had evaporated and his bones were barely hanging and were all visible. 

Not only that, the explosion was so strong that Vaan's entire body was thrown away and he clashed with a wall. 

"AAggGggHH!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!! YOU ARE DEAD!" 

Vaan screamed again. 

This time, not out of pain but out of sheer anger, his eyes were bloodshot. 

Roland, who finally realized what he had done widened his eyes in fear. He just attacked the Young Master of the Vesta Family…

Even though Vaan was the one who attacked him first, to use an instant spell against a physical assault… 

Not to mention using the spell he used...

Although it didn't connect properly because of quick Vaan's reaction at the last second, Ronald was sure that Vaan was in a critical condition right now…

The Vesta Family wasn't going to let it go…

What Ronald didn't know, however, was that the Vesta Family letting it go or coming after him was the last of his worries right now. 

'Heal!' 

Vaan used the instant spell he prepared to alleviate the pain, then, with Bloodshot eyes, he activated another spell, 

'Ignispike Pursuit!' 

The room was still covered in smoke, so Ronald had no clue what Vaan was doing, his mind was busy thinking about how to deal with this situation, but then, he felt the temperature in the room rising, 

Roland's eyes well on the Huge Flame Spike that had formed in front of him and his eyes widened in horror. 

Vaan was counterattacking! 

He finally realized it however, it was already too late. 

*Whoosh* 

The Spike moved at unreal speed and shot toward Ronald. 

*BOOOOOOMM* 

"AAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!" 

Another explosion was heard, this time, the spell was connected well. Ronald's agonizing scream could be heard. Just like Vaan's, his body clashed with a nearby wall as well. 

To Vaan, however, that scream was like a melody. 

Of course, he wasn't planning to end this so quickly either, by now, he had already circulated surrounding Mana throughout his body, 

"Flamey." He ordered. 

Flamey looked a little nervous, however, seeing Vaan's bloodshot eyes, she moved and appeared next to Vaan. Splashy did the same. 

2 Advanced Circles were activated, 

"Firespike!" 

Vaan cast his spell, this time, it wasn't just a simple 1st Circle Spell, this was his all-out 1st Circle Spell. 

Burst, Burn, Speed, Heat, Amplify, Enlarge, along with the basic Inner Circle Spells, Vaan used all the spells he had to increase the strength of his Firespike. 

His Firespike wasn't much weaker than the Ignispike Pursuit. 

*Whoosh* 

The spell was fired and, 

*BOOOOOM* 

Another explosion was heard. 

Vaan then barely stood up, his right leg was a mess, although he did use 'Heal', but in the end, it was only an Instant Spell, it wasn't strong enough to cure a half-destroyed leg, Vaan's bones were still visible and he was in terrible agony. 

His face, however, was red in rage. 

"You bitch! Don't even think about getting out of here alive." 

Vaan threatened, his voice almost sounding like a demon. Seeing his expression, Flamey and Splashy were trembling in fear. Vaan, however, didn't care. 

He just activated his spell again. 

He didn't know whether Roland was alive or not, he could only see his silhouette through the smoke and he was planning to empty all his bullets to make sure that man is dead. 

Or in this world, he wanted to fire as many spells as required to ensure Roland's death and he wanted to do it before he is interrupted by someone.

*Flicked* 

Another Fire Spike was formed. 

The spell was the same, the destructive power was the same, 

"N-NO! Y-YYOUNG MASTER VAAN!! PLEASE SPARE ME!!" 

Vaan then heard Ronald's scream. 

Ronald was in a completely helpless state, he tried to block the Ignispike Pursuit with his two arms, it was an involuntary reaction, common for people who had never been in a serious battle before. 

The spell, of course, obliterated his two arms, leaving them him a state that let alone trying to get back into the battle with stronger spells, Ronald couldn't even cast a spell anymore. 

And seeing Vaan mercilessly following through with another spell that very well mean the end of him, Ronald had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Vaan, however, didn't care. 

If he hadn't reacted in time, the one in Roland's condition would have been him. 

There is no way he was going to let it go.

"If you dared to use a life-threatening attack, then you should be prepared to lose your life as well." 

*Whoosh* 

The Fire spike he formed moved, Roland, feeling the heat from the spell widened his eyes in horror, 

"YOUNG MASTER VAAN, PLEASE HAVE MERCY!!" He screamed again as he closed his eyes, preparing for impact and imminent death. 

However, 

'Huh…?' 

That never happened. 

Roland was confused, he slowly opened his right eye, fearing that the spell would attack him any moment now, however, his expression changed when he noticed Vaan's Fire Spike that was stopped midair and was slowly getting smaller and smaller before finally disappearing. 

"What is happening here?" 

A strict voice was heard. 

Vaan narrowed his eyes, he didn't like that someone had interrupted his battle. He wanted to argue, however, now that his adrenaline rush had finally calmed down, his brain finally registered the loss of blood that was all burned due to Ronald's attack and, 

*Thud* 

Without even seeing who stopped his battle, Vaan passed out. 

The smoke in the room was cleared up using Magic and both Vaan and Roland were now visible to the guards who had just entered the room, just like Vaan, Roland had passed out as well, however, none of the people here cared about him. 

"Young Master Vaan!" Gable shouted in horror as he saw Vaan's condition and rushed towards him. "Medics!" he shouted. 

Soon, a team of medics rushed in and picked Vaan up, he had lost his limb and urgent treatment was required. 

Then suddenly, one of the medics whose eyes fell on Roland's condition froze. 

Roland's arms were obliterated, the flesh around his chest had burned up and his ribs were visible, honestly, his condition was so horrifying that even someone like him, who was a  medic and have seen countless gut-wrenching things couldn't help but feel miserable. 

"W-What should we do about him?" The medic turned towards the man who stopped Vaan's spell, Valhal, and questioned. 

"He is not what we should be worrying about right now…" 

Valhal replied with a solemn look on his face. His eyes were fixed on Vaan who was being taken away by the Medic Team. 

"W-What?" The Medic was surprised. 

Soon, however, he realized what Valhal was talking about. 

"F-Family H-H-Head, please c-calm down…" 

A servant's weak voice was heard. 

The Medic turned around and his body trembled in fear when he saw who was standing at the door. 

Astra Elysia Vesta was here. 

And she… 

She was extremely pissed. 

She glanced at Valhal and with a cold look on her face, "How did this happen?" She questioned, her tone so cold that people in the room could feel their hearts being frozen by some outer force. 

"Instant Spells were used…" Valhal replied. 

"And you think I can't tell that?" Astra raised her eyebrow as she looked into Valhal's eyes. 

Valhal gulped in fear, then, however, his entire body shuddered when he glanced at the person standing behind the Family Head. 

This was not good… 

This could very well lead to a catastrophe… 

Draven Elysia Vesta was here as well… 

And from his expression… he didn't look like he came here with good intentions…
