11 Chapter 11: The System Is Here! Part 3

The smoke from the fire cleared, and Robert was able to see Ra's unscathed figure.

"I'm quite impressed with what you've showed so far, kiddo." Said Ra with a voice that contained a hint of happiness and amusement.

Robert furrowed his brows as his expression turned a bit ugly, but eventually returned to its normal state. Robert knew that hoping to cause even a burn mark using elementary level magic on a being who was able to cast saint level magic with ease was nothing but a pipe dream.

"Thank you for the compliment, but may I ask what happens now? Sir, you seem to have mentioned testing me quite awhile back. Did I pass that test?" Asked Robert.

"Hmmmmm, truth be told, I hadn't expected you to be this good. You showed exemplary hand-to-hand combat skills, and even though you seem to lack the experience and proper fighting sense, I can't ignore the potential I see in you. All in all, you showed promise so I would be happy to receive you in my school soon." Said Ra.

"School?Sir, could it be?" Said Robert with an expression of surprise as he seems to have thought of something regarding Ra.

"I am the Principal of the most prestigious academy on Arcusignis. From what I know, you will enter my school in the nearby future, but I had wanted to test whether or not you were good enough to be accepted especially since you're still too young to normally be accepted. Ah, let's not forget I wanted to annoy your narcissistic father which is why I kidnapped you." Said Ra with a smile

Robert felt a headache coming along. The fact that the Principal of the most prestigious academy in Arcusignis seemed to be quite eccentric to the point of kidnapping a four year old prince just to test him through combat.

I mean, Robert felt that it would have probably been better to test him in a more appropriate setting, and not in the middle of nowhere. Also, it seemed like this Principal didn't like the Demon king very much.

Suddenly, Ra turned around, and looked at the certain spot. Robert looked to where Ra looked at, and suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air.

The figure was the Ruler of Arcusignis, and the father of the kidnapped Robert. It was Demon King Vulcan.

"Here I was, wondering who had the gall to kidnap my son from the castle during his own damned birthday. I should have expected an old rooster like you to do it." Said Vulcan in a condescending tone.

[Ohhhhhh, is this a fight I'm sensing? How thrilling.] Megumin said excitedly.

'Oh, you're still here?' Thought Robert.

[Of course I am! I'm just watching the show.] Replied Megumin.

'I hope there won't be one though.' Robert announced in his mind.

[Hmph, boring. You need to learn how to have fun.] Said Megumin.

Robert felt another headache coming.....

Going back...

"Well, if it isn't the hot-headed brat. It's not my fault your castle lacked the proper security. Maybe if you paid more attention to your castle's security than to your own reflection on a mirror then this wouldn't have happened so easily." Said Ra with a smirk.

"Attention? I don't want to hear that from someone that didn't give enough attention to his girlfriend many years ago which led her leaving a blonde chicken alone with no hen to love him." Said Vulcan.

'OHHHHHH SH*T BURNNN!' Though both Robert and Megumin.

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" Ra exclaimed while materializing a white-gold fire that covered his right arm.

"MAKE ME!" Replied Vulcan while a blackish red fire started to wrap around his left arm which was different from the pure golden fire he used before against the intruders in the Grand hall.

Robert seemed to be getting multiple headaches today to the point that he might get himself checked. He didn't think that even his father would become so immature when faced with Ra.

Robert thought that they should have a good relationship, because his father was putting him in Ra's school. Robert was genuinely confused.

"Um, excuse me?" Robert suddenly spoke out with a calm voice.

Both Ra and Vulcan suddenly calmed themselves down when they heard Robert's voice.

"Tsk, how immature of the so called Principal of the most prestigious school in Arcusignis to act up like that." Said Vulcan.

"Please, maybe if a certain royal pain in the a** wasn't being so insensitive then this wouldn't have happened." Said Ra.

[These guys are fun] Said Megumin.

'You, shush. We still need to talk about the system, and what happened which led to it having technical difficulties like before. So far, I haven't been able to utilize you.' Thought Robert .

[Okie Okie.] Megumin responded.

"Father and Sir Ra, may I ask what happens next?" Said Robert.

"For now, we should go back to the castle. Your mother is worried. The blonde bird should come too" Said Vulcan while Ra just grunted in response.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the castle.....

Ra, Vulcan, and Robert could be seen teleporting back to Robert's room.

"Robert, go to your mother in the Grand hall. She's been worried about you, but I didn't let her come as she might go a bit overboard." Said Vulcan.

Robert nodded then proceeded to go out of the room to look for his mom.

"Now tell me, Ra. What is the "real" reason you came here. Surely, you don't have enough free time to do something like this just to annoy me or test the kid." Said Vulcan.

Ra sighed.

"Unfortunately, something or more like someone happened to my school a month ago." Ra said in a serious tone.

"Someone?" Asked Vulcan.

"A kid. Not any ordinary kid, but a monstrous one. The kid has a massive Mana pool along with his ability to cast advanced level spells without breaking a sweat, and there was a time when he casted an expert level fire type spell to show off his prowess against the older students. The kicker here is that the kid is only 6 years old." Said Ra.

"A 7 year old that can cast advanced and expert level spells. How terrifying. What's his background?" Asked Vulcan.

" From what we've gathered, he comes from one of the baron families in the region, but there is nothing else that is notable. We don't know how the hell he got this monstrous. There's not a trace of forbidden means used nor any blessings or special bloodlines. It seems to be pure talent. The kid sucks at hand-to-hand combat though." Said Ra.

"Hmmmmm, so what do you want to say?" Said Vulcan.

"I want to find someone that can the kid in his place. The kid has been too cocky to the point that he is challenging all the other geniuses in the academy, and he is destroying their confidence. So far, three geniuses have had their whole self-esteem ground to dust and traumatized. I can't allow more geniuses to fall. I need someone to help balance things out." Said Ra.

"So you hope my son is the one you are searching for." Vulcan said while raising an eyebrow.

"Indeed, he may only be four years old, but he has huge potential too. He may only know elementary magic, but we'll do our best to instill to him the best magic knowledge we can. I also like his attitude." Said Ra.

"I see. Don't worry, he'll be heading to your school soon. You might want to talk to my son about this though. He is smart enough to understand." Said Vulcan.

"Hmmmm, I will." Said Ra before standing up, and moving out of the room.

After Ra left, Vulcan raised his palm, and a small purple ring appeared in his hand.

"I should hurry. The appearance of such a monstrous boy was foretold by the prophecy." Said Vulcan before teleporting.
