🕑 Added 2025-01-02 02:00:03 +0000 UTCAnton flew towards the pink dolphin, which was following the blue whales, but he looked back on the deck and saw someone wearing mage’s robes, together with Torun and the others looking at him sternly. He had an inkling that the mage was someone’s higher-up who was called regarding his flying off the deck.
He briefly wondered what kind of scolding or even punishment he would receive since this was the second time he had done something like this but Anton had no choice since the Pearl of The Ocean was truly valuable.
Anton prepared himself to let go of one or more of his enchanted items as a bribe or fine for what he did.
When he reached the dolphins and the whales, it seemed like they were the group that he encountered before since their behavior indicated that they recognized him. All of them joyfully swam around him and Anton joined them in the ocean. The whales bellowed at him while the dolphins were squeaking.
Anton knew what they wanted so he immediately cast Frozen Orb but controlled the mana structure enough to turn the spell into water. He knew that what the animals truly liked was the mana in the water that came from his spells and since the spell, Frozen Orb was one of the highest spells of the Sorcerer, the mana contained in the water from the said spell was plentiful.
He prepared himself to spend several hours with them but truthfully, Anton enjoyed playing with the sea animals. He felt like he had become a creature of the ocean and was glad that his Telekinesis spell allowed him to move freely in the ocean easily. When he returned to the ship Anton would search for a water-breathing spell that he could memorize so he could breathe underwater.
While playing with the dolphins and the whales, Anton made sure that the Amelia was always in his sight. It wouldn’t be funny if he suddenly got lost in the middle of the ocean.
Anton thought that more than likely, what the dolphins and the whales truly liked about him was the mana water that he was giving them was inexhaustible. After an hour of playing, it seemed like all of the animals were satisfied with the amount of mana water he gave them.
He then hugged the dolphins and the whales and said his goodbyes to them individually since he truly liked them and even if they didn’t give them anything, Anton enjoyed playing with them. It was one of the joyful moments in his life that showed that this world was truly a magical one.
Anton was about to fly off back to the ship when one of the dolphins approached with his expected gift in its mouth. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a shell, meaning it wasn’t the pearl of the ocean but it looked like some sort of pink coral shaped like a comb. It was very pretty so he hugged and kissed the dolphin who gave him the gift and put the coral comb in his inventory.
The pink dolphins and the blue whales said their goodbye to him when he was high up in the sky by them jumping from the ocean causing huge splashes and he laughed joyfully.
The sun was about to set and the ocean looked like it was on fire when Anton reached the deck where he flew off. Torun, Blake, and Andrea were still there together with the four young men who were talking to them earlier as well as the mage who was still looking sternly at him.
“Anton, you’re so powerful! You just flew off to the dolphins and whales just to play with them!” Andrea exclaimed when the three reached him.
All of the boys were looking at him in awe then the mage approached Anton.
“Sir Sunder, I would like to speak to you in my office please.”
Anton followed the mage while looking at his new friends wryly and them looking back at him smilingly. Everyone knew that the worst thing that he would receive was probably just scolding.
They arrived at an office and the mage invited Anton to take a seat. Then the mage who looked like a middle-aged man in his forties proceeded to tell him the consequences of his actions and that he damaged the rune that protected the passengers from falling off the ocean when Anton forcefully pushed through the magic that was supposed to hold a jumper from the deck, bringing them back to the ship.
Anton apologized profusely and the mage only relented when he gave two enchanted items as compensation. One was the one that produced water and the other was the enchanted stove. Based on the middle-aged mage's expression while looking at the two items when he demonstrated how one could use them and how to recharge them, there was a good chance that the items would be dismantled and studied the moment he left. He had expected something like that if the recipient of his enchanted items were mages.
As far as he knew, no one had been able to copy his enchanted items but even if somebody did, they would hardly report it to him. Besides, Frederick mentioned that his items could be imitated using the standard enchantment process of this world but since Anton focused on lifestyle enchantments, item enchanters tend to focus more on offensive and defensive magic, a high-level enchanters would hardly focus on his kind of items.
When Anton left the official mage’s office, he decided to return to the suite since when he checked the time, it was already seven in the evening. When he arrived there, everyone was still inside but was about to go to the dining hall to eat so he joined everyone.
The dinner menu was delicious and the entertainment was one of the singers from the Patron Bar according to Lucia so their dinner that night was both satisfying and relaxing due to the music.
After dinner, everyone returned to the suite including his four rich friends from New Drennor.
“We worked the whole day for the Cosplay Event and it garnered a lot of interest from the very rich on the ship. The elitist among them did complain when they heard that the event was open to anyone who would purchase the ticket but the fact that it was affordable meant that a lot of people would attend, took away the exclusivity of the party,” Antonia said.
“I had to explain to some of my snob friends that they would enjoy the party more if there were more people since everyone would be in costume that came from the movies anyway and the fact that we will offer a high price on the winners of the costume contest meant that people would probably try hard to make sure that their costumes would be the best,” Lucia added.
“Not only that, we copied the video that you’ve shown us about the Cosplay Event and created different categories for the prices like best female costume, best male costume, best children costume, best hero costume, best villain costume, and best overall costume. We might add some more categories to make sure that a lot of people will receive prices. We’re still in the process of choosing the rules for the costumes and one of them was to make sure that those who already one in one category will not be qualified to win in others except the overall costume category, but we’re still not done in setting the rules of the competition,” Nemina said.
It looked to Anton that everyone was enjoying the process of holding the event, which was the most important thing. To have fun since there were very few moments that everyone had fun nowadays.
