Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 36 Someone With Astra In His Name Cannot Be Disrespected.



"Are you sure are okay with your slot being taken away? You can speak your mind carefreely, the Vesta Family is fair."

A man spoke up with a threatening look on his face.

His intentions were clear.

He wanted Dilian to back off and take back his statement.

Anyone could understand it if they saw the intimidating gaze he was watching Dilian with. It was clearly an open threat, something that shouldn't be allowed in the Vesta Hall, however, none dared to voice out anything against the man.

That was because this man was Draven Vesta.

Astra's older brother, a 7th Circle Mage.

The man who holds the highest power in the family after Astra.

In front of someone like Draven, someone like Dilian could only give up.

Under normal conditions that is.

Dilian simply glanced at Astra, there was no particular change on her face, however,

"Yes, Lord Draven. I am grateful that you are looking out for me, but as I said, if it means that Young Master Vaan can improve, then I am perfectly fine with my slot being taken away."

In Vesta Family, Astra's influence was absolute.

Draven may be her older brother, however, in front of Astra, Draven's influence was nothing.

After all, Astra alone could fight everyone in this room together.

She was that strong.

This was also the reason why everyone targeted Vaan.

They wanted to weaken Astra's position.

Vaan's own presence was something these people never considered; he was merely a 'medium'.

A medium to attack Astra.

And since he had gotten a chance to attack Astra again, Draven was not planning to leave it so easily.

"Alright then, you can leave now, Dilian."

Draven ordered.

Dilian glanced at Astra.

Astra nodded, Dilian then turned around and left.

Draven glanced at Rylan and nodded.

Rylan, however, hesitated.

Astra was coming out stronger than she normally does...

'Do not worry, you stand in an advantageous position here. Don't let all your efforts up until now be ruined.'

Suddenly, Rylan heard Draven's voice in his head.

Sound Magic.

Rylan glanced at Draven, he regained some of his confidence and nodded.

Then,

"Family Head, I would like to call Medic Alaric," Rylan spoke up.

Astra nodded.

Soon, Medic Alaric was brought in.

"Medic Alaric, can you tell us about Kael Vesta's condition?"

Rylan spoke up.

"Sir Kael Vesta is currently in the infirmary, his tongue was cut off so he is having a hard time eating and drinking, I have dealt with the wounds but since the tongue is a sensitive organ, the wounds often open up which leads to constant bleeding inside the mouth.

It can be extremely risky if the patient is unconscious, in some cases, one can even choke to death.

Not only that, there are bruises all over his face, his nose is broken, the injuries on his head are not ordinary either, there are many blood vessels clogged around at one place, some of these vessels have significantly weakened, it is to the point where they burst apart by even slightest of movements.

There are also signs of his brain being affected, his condition may be stable right now, however, if high-leveled Heal is not used, then Sir Kael would need at least 2 years to completely recover."

The Medic reported.

When Vaan heard these words,

He nodded in satisfaction.

'Hm Hm, as I thought, my expertise in hospitalizing someone for more than a year is still there.'

A proud look appeared on his face.

Elara, on the other hand, was horrified.

She knew where this was going.

Lord Rylan was going to use this to try and punish Vaan!

And this time, since the condition the Medic described was so critical, the punishment wouldn't be simple locking in the library either.

Elara panicked, soon, however, a determined expression appeared on her face.

She had decided,

She would take the blame on herself.

The punishment might be a little harsh, however, if she could save Vaan, it would be worth it!

With that thought in her mind, Elara stepped forward,

"It was me wh-"

"Family Head, Kael Vesta, whose condition the Medic just described comes from a subordinate family. He is a talented child who has inherited our Family name through his own efforts.

Kael didn't know that it was Lady Astra who had given Young Master Vaan the permission to enter the Magic Training Room, in his ignorance, he asked Young Master Vaan why he was there and told him that it was against the rules,

However, Young Master Vaan used cowardly ways to attack him and put him in critical condition. 14 Mages witnessed this scene, I have all 14 of them on standby, if the Family Head allows, I can call them here."

Before Elara could say anything, Rylan spoke up.

Astra narrowed her eyes.

If Vaan really did do this, then saving him would be difficult.

No, if Vaan did this, then Astra decided that it was better to severely punish him and teach him a lesson.

With a cold look on her face, Astra ordered. "Call the witnesses."

Rylan's smile widened, and soon, the 14 mages present in the Magic Training Hall that day were called. They quickly agreed with Rylan's words, Astra's gaze turned cold, she glanced at Vaan and while holding her anger, she questioned.

"Is there anything you would like to say?"

"Teache-" Elara wanted to jump in, however, her body moved on its own and her mouth was shut close.

Astra had used Magic.

"I only permitted Vaan to speak," Astra spoke as she glared at Vaan.

"He disrespected me."

"An-"

"Are you saying you would hit people if they disrespect you!?" Rylan shouted, interrupting Astra's sentence.

"My honor is connected to my mother's honor, I cannot allow someone to trample over me, that would harm my mother's image.

He called me a Waste in front of everybody and acted like he was in charge inside the Magic Training Hall, trying to order me around.

He may have Vesta in his name and he may be a 3rd Circle Mage, however, that doesn't mean he can order me around.

I had to teach it to him.

Someone with Astra in his name cannot be disrespected."

Vaan replied with a calm look on his face.

"Was he even wrong though? You are 20 and you are merely a 1st Circle Mage, from Vesta Family's perspective, calling you a waste wasn't wrong, was it?" Rylan spoke as he glanced at Vaan.

Pushing Vaan into a corner as he trembled in fear, it was one of his favorite activities, especially when he does it right in front of Astra's eyes.

However,

"Then isn't he even more of a waste if he got beaten up by a waste?

Why are we even discussing this any further when only a trash was shown his place?"

The current Vaan was different.
