Chapter 167 The Party is postponed
With Flamey and Splashy literally forcing him to form his 3rd Circle, Vaan had no choice but to give in.
"Do you need to use the Magic Training Room?" Astra questioned.
Vaan glanced at Flamey, the little Spirit shook her head, with her presence, it was almost impossible for Vaan to fail, especially considering he had already done this before. The only new thing here was to draw the required Magic Patterns in 2 Circles rather than one.
"I'll do it here. I believe doing it in my mother's presence will have a much better effect." Vaan replied and hearing those words, Astra simply shook her head, "Don't bother, this won't give you any brownie points."
Vaan sighed in defeat.
Then, he cleared his mind, closed his head, and started absorbing the surrounding Mana. Elara, who was sitting in front of him glanced at him with a concerned look on her face, the intensity of her glare surprised Astra, she didn't know her pupil could make that expression but seeing her do that, Astra could sense a light smile appearing on her face.
'That boy is blessed to have an angel like her.'
She thought inwardly as she also thanked her past self for fixing Elara's engagement with Vaan when they were children.
Before Vaan changed, she often regretted her decision of tying this girl to an idiot like her son who couldn't seem to value her, she had even reached a stage where she wanted to cancel the engagement but it was difficult to convince a mother's heart. Now, however, everything fit together perfectly and Astra was glad to see that.
While Astra was thinking all this, 2 Circles appeared in front of Vaan, Astra was surprised to see him use normal circles instead of the advanced ones, however, not wanting to interrupt him in this crucial moment, she stayed silent and continued to watch it play out.
Vaan then started drawing his Magic Patterns into the 2 Circles, his speed was fast, Flamey and Splashy had already drawn the Patterns beforehand, he only needed to trace them.
Of course, Vaan didn't actually need their help, if there was one thing he had worked hardest on, it was drawing patterns quickly and correctly, this was also the reason Vaan practiced shooting spells every single day even if he wasn't learning any new spells.
The Two Spirits also knew that the chances of Vaan making a mistake were extremely low, right now, however, the two spirits were thinking about a completely different thing and didn't want a single mistake throughout the process.
After all, it was the time they welcomed their Third Sister.
Having a slight idea as to why the two spirits seemed so excited, Vaan let them do whatever they wanted and drew the pattern by tracing theirs.
Perfect Magic Patterns were formed, the two Circles started shining brightly, Astra raised her eyebrows, seemingly impressed by how quickly her son drew the Magic Patterns, Vaan, on the other hand, focused on the future steps.
Soon, another, dimly lit Circle formed in the air. Vaan could feel his Mana being sucked out, the more Mana he lost, the brighter the 3rd Circle got and the next minute, it was shining as brightly as the first two Circles.
A white colored chain then formed between the first two Circles, then, two more chains shot from the previous two circles and shot towards the 3rd Circle. The 'connection' was formed as the three Circles started spinning at a fast pace.
If Vaan was a normal Mage, this would mark him successfully becoming a 3rd Circle Mage, but a normal Mage he was not.
"Krii."
"Gurru."
Two excited voices were heard, Vaan quickly turned towards the directions the spirits had flown into, and then, his eyes fell on a creature so adorable that he couldn't help but blink a few times just to take in the cuteness.
Compared to Flamey and Splashy, the 3rd Spirit was a little shorter, only being 8cm tall, that however, combined with her long white hair, silvery large eyes, a face that had baby fat, making her look like an 8-year girl that adorable white dress she wore gave her a majestic look.
The Spirit had a confused look on her face, it felt like she couldn't understand what she was doing here.
Her eyes then fell on Flamey and Splashy and this time, even Vaan could tell how shocked Flamey and Splashy were.
The two spirits were blushing.
Even they didn't think the 3rd Spirit would be this adorable. Their 'Big Sister Instincts' became stronger than ever and soon, the two of them surrounded the little creature and started talking with cheerful looks on their faces.
"Skii…?"
The Little Spirit still looked confused, however, as the two older spirits talked, she seemed to understand what they were saying and then turned towards Vaan.
As Vaan saw her looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and Astra, who saw him smiling in a random direction narrowed her eyes in doubt.
She was considering the possibility of her son being a fool.
Vaan was, of course, ignorant of what her mother was thinking, his focus was on the 3rd Spirit who was flying towards him with Flamey and Splashy following her.
The Third Spirit then flew behind the Third Circle Vaan had summoned, Flamey and Splashy flew behind two other Circles as well, then,
"Krii."
"Guru."
"Skii."
The Three Spirits spoke at the same time and Three Advanced Magic Circles formed behind the Normal Circles, surprising both Astra and Elara.
Vaan could feel his Mana being run out at a scary pace, white chains were formed as another connection was established, the 6 Circles continued to shine brightly, it was a beautiful sight that couldn't be seen in normal cases.
Both Astra and Elara seemed like they wanted to study whatever that was happening in front of them, however, before they could do it, everything disappeared.
Vaan had run out of Mana.
"Ski…"
The Third Spirit seemed tired as well.
This time, Vaan didn't need Flamey or Splashy's help to know what to do, he absorbed the surrounding Mana again, before moving his finger towards the third spirit, the tired spirit glanced at his finger, then, like a clueless and defenseless child, she flew towards Vaan finger and placing her little forehead on the entire thing, she started 'eating.'
Even though the little spirit was smaller than Splashy and Flamey, her appetite was much larger than Flamey or Splashy, while the two spirits only ate for 7-8 rounds, the new spirit was already on her 10th round and she was still going strong.
"What the hell are you doing…?"
Astra, who only saw Vaan absorbing surrounding Mana before releasing it somewhere and absorbing it again questioned with a frown on her face.
"I am feeding a child," Vaan replied.
"Huh?"
Both Elara and Astra frowned.
Vaan, however, just shook his head and continued to feed the little spirit, after the 12th round, the spirit finally seemed full, then, she finally glanced at the one who was feeding her and as if she was acknowledging his existence, she flew up and sat on his shoulder.
"Are you a Wind Spirit?" Vaan questioned even though he had a rough idea that what he said was correct. The little Spirit nodded in agreement as well, confirming his conjecture.
"It is a good thing that I have already thought of a name for you," Vaan spoke,
"I will call you Breezy from now on."
"Skii." Breezy simply nodded acknowledgment, not knowing what had happened to her.
Astra and Elara, however, weren't planning on staying silent,
"I don't know who you named that, but that is a terrible name," Astra spoke and Elara nodded from behind, agreeing with her future mother-in-law.
"What are you talking about, Mother? A Wind Spirit that brings fresh breeze whenever she is around, Breezy is such a perfect name for it."
"I can't see these Spirits you talk about, but I am absolutely sure they don't like you," Astra replied, Vaan however, just smiled confidently.
"Oh you have no clue, Mother."
The three spirits were currently sitting on his shoulders and even though right now they were busy talking to each other, well, mostly Flamey and Splashy talking to Breezy and the little wind spirit nodding while feeling intimidated by their excitement, Vaan knew that the Spirits loved him.
After all, they weren't this comfortable with just anyone.
Seeing her son act like that, Astra just shook her head, Elara, on the other hand, had another question,
"Are you saying you can see another Spirit now, a Wind Spirit…?"
"That is correct." Vaan nodded.
"Does that mean that now you can control the Wind Element as well?"
It was an innocent question, Astra however, paused the moment she heard that question, waiting for her son's answer.
"That is correct. I should have an affinity with the Wind Element now and my affinity should be as strong as what I have with Fire and Water."
Vaan spoke and the moment he did,
Astra stood up from her chair,
"The Party is postponed,
We are going to the Affinity Stone first."
