Chapter 334
🕑 Added 2025-01-01 02:00:07 +0000 UTCAnton went outside his room and saw that Anna, Lunelle, Belinda, Ramona, and Frederick were still busy with their magic which was a simple process. They just memorized spells and then cast them onto the mana power bank to expel them from their spell slots in their mind so they could memorize them again, then rinse and repeat.
Doing so many times meant that a mage was exercising their mind allowing it to expand so it could hold more spells. Then when they reached the required number of spells they could memorize within their level, they would somehow instinctively know that they should be able to start memorizing a spell that was categorized as the next rank and once they were successful, that meant that their mage level increased as well.
According to Frederick, practicing magic like memorizing spells and expelling them was limited because of the length of time a low-level mage could memorize a spell. One advantage of a truly talented wizard was that he or she would be able to memorize spells in a shorter amount of time.
That meant that because of Anton’s Meditation Aura or possibly the combination of the Prayer, Meditation, and Vigor Auras, the mages in his party system affected by the aura were able to memorize spells at an astonishingly amount of time even beyond what a talented mage could do.
That was the main reason that everyone was focused on practicing their magic since they could truly feel their mind expanding because of the magely exercise they were doing. It’s as if they were leveling up easily and faster and any gamer knew that if something like that happened, they would be motivated to continue playing, at least at the start.
The mages in the family were highly motivated because they had all experienced the horror of the Undead Coalition and no one wanted to feel powerless while being chased by monsters. At least if they had wizardly power, they could fight back.
When everyone saw Anton exit his room, the mages stopped.
“Where are Father and the others? And Antonia and the others?” Anton asked.
“They were still meeting regarding your Cosplay Convention event. Apparently, there are so many details that need to be handled like the venue, the pricing, the decorations, and the activities once the convention started and they are now hiring people to do most of the required jobs. They are also busy creating a paper advertisement for the event,” Frederick answered.
“We girls are also planning to create our costume after our practice today which was now. First, we will look around at the shops so we can browse for the things that we might need to create our costumes,” Lunelle said.
“I want to be Arwen!” Anna exclaimed.
“Since you’ve seen all three movies, you know the characters already but I recommend that you choose someone else since Arwen would probably be chosen by a lot of girls because of her grace and beauty. Galdariel’s the same,” Anton said to his sister.
“Arwen is so pretty! I want to copy the way she moves! It was slow and elegant like a true princess. I also want to copy the way she speaks. It was low, soft and the pace is slow as well but one can’t help but wait for all the things she wants to say,” Anna commented.
“As long as you’re happy since the main purpose of the event was to have fun.”
Since everyone was busy, Anton decided to go outside to roam around. The first place that he went to was the deck where he met Torun, Blake, and Andrea. He preferred that location compared to the deck exclusive to the passengers that rented the suites since he felt that most people there were snobs.
When he arrived at the said deck, he saw his three new friends from Ruandelle there but they were talking to a group of four men. It appeared that some conflicts were happening and the other people surrounding them looked equally annoyed but at least there wasn’t any fear but mostly amused.
Anton went near them to listen to their quarrel but then after a few minutes, he discovered that they were not really enemies but just loudly quarreling about some instances from the movie. When Andrea noticed him, she informed her brother and Torun about his presence.
“Anton is here and he is the son of the owner of the cinema. He can solve our dispute!” Torun said.
“Soren’s group said that the king in the Return of the King will be Legolas but we argued that it’s going to be Aragorn since the movie hinted that he was the king,” Blake told Anton.
“I’m sorry guys, I told you I’m not allowed to say any spoilers,” Anton apologized.
“What is a spoiler?” The young man who was pointed at by Torun as someone named Soren said.
It was Andrea who explained what a spoiler was based on Anton’s explanation the day before.
“Is your family really the ones who owned the cinema?” Soren said.
“Well, not the cinema since it's owned by the ship but the magic item that shows the movies,” Anton answered.
Anton saw that Soren was about to introduce himself and his group of friends but he noticed a movement in the ocean. When he took a closer look it was a group of pink dolphins following a group of gigantic blue whales.
He wondered if they were the ones he met before, the ones who gifted him the pearl of the ocean. That magic item was highly useful since it allowed him to have a truly restful sleep and he felt that it helped him a lot in relaxing his mind making sure that he was full of energy to tackle the activities that he was doing the next day. As a matter of fact, it was so useful that everyone who tried it, mainly Anna and Lunelle since they were in the same room, his father and Frederick since they were also in the same room before and Frederick wanted to check the effect of the item, coveted the pearl since according to Frederick, the pearl’s effect on mages was huge as well.
Anton asked Frederick if there was a spell that had the same effect as the pearl and the mage admitted that he didn’t know any spell that had the same benefit one could get from the pearl but then again, he was a low-level mage and only knew a limited number of spells.
He wanted to provide the dolphins and whales more mana water and maybe they would gift him another pearl.
Anton used his Telekinesis spell and flew outside the deck but to others in the deck, it might seem like he suddenly jumped off. The people who saw him screamed but he ignored them but he knew that there would be trouble later once he was done with his business with the pink dolphins and the blue whales.
He briefly looked at Torun and the others and they looked frightened and worried so he gestured at them to say that he was alright. Anton then felt some sort of magic trying to hold him and it was likely the work of a mage who was guarding the deck, the one Torun said was assigned to the place to catch anyone who jumped off.
He did feel that the magic felt impersonal, like there was no mind behind so more than likely it was the work of some sort of magic item or runes.
