Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

"So? What was so important for you to leave the Academy and come here for?" Astra questioned, looking into Vaan's eyes and in an instant, all the playful mood in the room disappeared.

Vaan and Elara stood up as they sat on the sofa, Astra followed and sat in front of them. Even the Spirits and Furr sensed the change of mood and stopped playing around, Furr quickly jumping and sitting on Elara's lap while the Spirits sat on Vaan's shoulders and head.

Astra, on the other hand, waved her hand, with a single gesture, although Vaan and Elara couldn't sense any changes around them, they knew the woman had sealed the sound, making sure nothing discussed in this room escaped.

"Do you remember when I said that my little friends could absorb the Faith Energy?"

Vaan began with a question.

"I do."

Astra nodded, as absurd as it was to believe, she knew her son wouldn't joke around about such matters. She had even given him some instructions on how to proceed forward having such powers and had also placed many restrictions on her child, so he wouldn't end up putting a target on his back.

"I found out the reason why they could do it."

"What…?" Astra momentarily didn't know how to act, soon however, she regained her composure and,

"How did you find out? No, what did you find out?" The Vesta Leader knew better than anyone else to give importance to the more significant matter.

"Since the Faith Energy is an Energy we cannot even see or sense, there is only one logical conclusion that one can come up with,

Only Gods can absorb or use the Faith Energy."

Hearing those words, Astra narrowed her eyes.

"Vaan, what are you trying to say?" She questioned. She wasn't a fool, she very well understood what her son's words implied. She just… couldn't believe the conclusion her head had reached.

After all, it was an absurd conclusion that no sane mind could comprehend.

Vaan, however, was hell-bent on breaking all the commonsense boundaries Astra knew of.

"I am saying exactly what you are thinking, Mother.

Their Advanced Knowledge, the fact they could do things that even 7th Circle Mage like you cannot comprehend, the Advanced Circle, the improved Instant Spells, the ability to take control over my Mana and manage my spells in my stead,

We were given too many hints to come to this conclusion earlier, but we chose to ignore all those hints just because our minds couldn't even think to that extent.

Now, however, with things mentioned right on my face, I cannot ignore it anymore.

The Spirits that follow me, they are Gods, Mother.

And they are not just any Gods,"

Vaan looked into Astra's eyes, then, with a serious look on his face, he dropped the last bomb,

"They are the incarnation of the Magic God."

"What…?"

And… that was all it took for Astra to completely lose her mind.

The Head of the Vesta House simply stared at her son with her mouth wide agape, the shock she received was so strong that she didn't even raise her voice and screamed in shock. It was beyond all that, her brain directly skipped all these feelings and… blanked out.

For a good few minutes, Astra continued to stare at her son, her mind, which had earlier stopped working, was currently thinking about the implications of what her son said.

The Spirits being Gods, this, she could digest. There were many Gods, it wouldn't be shocking if suddenly, a new God or Gods, a God of Spirits or Spirit Gods appeared but…

The God of Magic…?

A God their family was deeply connected to? A God who once had influence comparable to the God of Light? A God who had millions of believers?

A God who suddenly… stopped blessing his believers?

The Incarnations of that God were the 'cute little beings' her son often talkedabout?The beings who helped her son in ways that completely changed his life?

All of this was… simply too much and only now did Astra understand why her son was so adamant about talking about this matter face to face.

This wasn't a matter that could be discussed by any other means. They couldn't risk it leaking outside.

Astra gulped once again, then, as she stared at her child, she, with a very careful look on her face, asked a question,

"Can your spirits… bless the mages like the God of Magic could…?"

Just this single question would change Agresia's future and Astra knew it.

"They say they can."

"They say they can…?"

Astra frowned, this wasn't the answer she was looking for.

A simple yes or no answer was required in this situation.

"They can bless me because of the connection I have with them, but for others…"

"They cannot bless other mages?"

"More like other Mages do not have any Faith left in the Magic God. The Mages do not generate the Faith Energy Flamey and the others need to bless them."

"So we just need to tell the mages to believe in the Magic God again?" Astra questioned, Vaan however, shook his head.

"It is not that simple."

Then, he proceeded to explain how he and Elara experimented together and the conclusions they came to after talking to Selene, the Student Council President.

"So we need to rebuild the connection with the Magic God…" Astra muttered.

"That is correct."

Vaan nodded.

"Once the connection is established, I believe the system similar to other Gods and churches will form automatically and we can start gathering even more believers just like other churches,

As to how to form the connection and generate the Pure Faith,

We still need to explore that."

Astra turned silent as she heard her son's words. Honestly, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the current Vaan. The words he said were… simply too heavy.

Create a system similar to other Gods and churches… gather more believers like other churches…

Her son… didn't his words mean that he was planning on possibly recreating a force similar to the Tower of Magic…?

Astra couldn't even fathom how the world would react if they somehow peeked into her son's mind. Heck, even the Leaders of the Top-Level Faction would die of fright if what her son was picturing came true!

"You… You little brat…"

Astra had no words.
