It could be seen that the whales were possibly providing protection but Anton didn’t know what the dolphins could be providing the whales.
The gentle giants color was a vibrant blue and the dolphins were a breathtaking pink. He knew that there were also pink dolphins on Earth but looking at them live made one want to go near them and touch them and based on the animal’s behavior with each other and with species outside of theirs, they should be truly gentle.
Anton did ask one of the sailors loitering around the deck the man said that the whales were gentle and known as an omen of good weather for the next few days. The pink dolphins always accompanied those specific whales for protection according to the sailor, which was what he was thinking of.
He asked the sailors what the dolphins were doing for the whales and the sailor said nothing. The only thing the dolphins did was to make the whales amused so basically, they were some sort of entertainers for the whales. According to the sailor, if one observes the whales for a time, one could see that the whales would look at the dolphins once in a while with glittering eyes as if the giant creatures were looking at their pets playing.
That speculation amused Anton so much that he laughed. Anton had an urge to play with the dolphins and the whales and since he remembered that he was a powerful wizard, he did just that. He flew outside the ship’s deck using his Telekinesis and went to the whales and the dolphins.
His departure alarmed the people on the deck especially the sailors who were acting as guards and protectors for those passengers that were on that specific deck since that deck was reserved for rich passengers.
Anton could hear the noise that the people on the deck made regarding him but he didn’t care. He knew that he was behaving childishly and it confirmed his theory that his body, which was the body of a young man, was affecting his behavior. Although, his original body on Earth was not too old as well.
When he reached the whales and dolphins location, the animals were alarmed at first but when they saw that Anton was not doing anything but was just observing them, the animals calmed down. When he went near one of the whales and touched it, the huge animals didn’t react too much and just looked at him curiously with their huge eyes.
The dolphins then made some noises at him so he joined them and apparently, his joining the dolphins playing amused the whales as well and they blew water in the air. Anton played with the dolphins and he also used his Telekinesis spell and some of his Ice spells that he manipulated the mana so they would turn into water to add to their playtime. The dolphins loved the water that came from his ice spells since when they tasted it, they clamored for some more.
Anton cast several Frozen Orbs that he turned into Water Orbs in the air and the dolphins did their best to jump and catch the water balls to drink them. When the whales saw what the dolphins and Anton were doing, they tried to catch one of the water balls and taste it and when one of them tasted it, Anton was astonished to see that the whale who tasted the water orb looked like it talked to the others then the whales looked at him expectantly.
He then cast several Frozen Orbs converted into Water Orbs and to the disgruntlement of the dolphins, the whales joined in on the fun of jumping in the air to catch the Water Orbs.
Anton tried his best to make the orbs as big as he could so the gentle huge whales would be satisfied with the size. When Anton produced a very large Water Orb, he could see the whales' delight. It only cost him some mana potions and he had a tremendous amount of them stored in his inventory.
Soon the location where the dolphins and the whales were was filled with waves caused by the whales splashing when they returned from jumping in the air. Anton had to fly up from swimming to avoid drowning in the waves caused by the whales. At least the whales were far enough from him and the dolphins that there was no danger of them crushing him and the dolphins.
The whales were also very wise and did not jump on the Water Orbs that were near him and the dolphins. During that playtime, Anton made sure to take note of the location of the ship. He didn’t want the ship to be so far away that it would take an effort for him to return.
Anton spent two hours playing with the whales and the dolphins and he made sure that they drank enough mana water that all of them were satisfied. The sun was setting when he decided to say goodbye to his ocean friends and it seemed like they understood that he was leaving, before he left, one of the dolphins approached him and gave him a huge clam that the dolphin was carrying in its mouth. He kissed and hugged the pink dolphin after he took the calm then he flew back to the ship.
When he reached the deck, Anton saw that it was full of people and his father and a couple of old wizards were there with him.
“Baron Sunders, can we talk to you?” One of the old wizards asked him looking very stern.
“Sure, but can I dry myself and change my clothes first?” Anton replied.
The old wizard nodded and they all returned to Anton’s suite. Anders was expressionless and Anton knew that his father wasn’t angry. When they reached the suite, no one talked to him since everyone saw that two old wizards were waiting for Anton.
After he changed his clothes, Anton went outside his room and he and his father followed the two wizards somewhere. They arrived at some sort of office and then the two wizards asked Anton and his father to sit.
“Mr. Sunders, this is the second time you caused some disturbance in the ship. What have you to say for yourself,” One of the old wizards said.
“I’m Baron Sunders of Zalnothel. An archmage and a paying customer of the Amelia. Who are you to question my business on this ship?” Anton replied assuming a lofty tone and turned on the special effects of his three auras.
He was a powerful archmage and based on the auras that he felt from the two old wizards, they were not possibly only High Wizards and that meant that they had no authority over him.
The two wizards' appearances deflated and they knew that they couldn’t assume the high position they were sporting earlier. They thought that due to his young age, they could bully Anton.
“We apologized Sir Anton. We didn’t know that you’re an archmage. Somebody just reported that a mage was causing trouble in the deck and had heard some talk about you.”
“So you invited me here to reprimand me? I did nothing that would cause trouble with the ship. I’m a wizard who conducted research on some of the animals in the ocean. Who is your manager? I want to speak with him. I will also go to Captain Robertson to complain?!” Anton said sternly assuming a full Karen mode behavior since it amused him to do so.
