Chapter 270 Weren’t you two going to form a Bond!? What the hell is this!? What did you two do!?
"..."
Octavius stared at Vaan in silence, not knowing what to say.
"What now?"
Vaan questioned with a frown on his face. Octavius, however, simply stared at the boy, his brows slowly furrowing,
"I didn't think you would actually be able to pull it off."
Octavius spoke as he glanced at the Voting Poll, he had given Vaan a month to gather the votes, so the voting was still active, however, there was no meaning to watch it any further.
Vaan already had 93% of Votes on his side.
4% were against him while the 3% didn't vote.
In conclusion, Vaan already won, and only a week had passed since the Poll was launched.
"I can understand Selene, that girl would go out of bounds to help others if she can, you must have exploited that, but...
How did you manage to get the Dawncrests on your side?"
Octavius questioned directly.
"I know you went to the Dawncrests, what did you do? What deal did you make with them?"
"I don't think you need to know that, Headmaster," Vaan replied with a smile on his face.
"..."
Octavius turned silent, then, he glanced at Vaan with a grave look on his face and,
"Are you sure you didn't do anything that you would regret in the future?"
"I did not.
Now can I leave the Academy?"
Vaan questioned, his impatience clear on his face, and seeing that, Octavius couldn't help but snort inwardly, 'He is much better to talk to when that girl is with him.'
Octavius was missing Elara's presence.
Right now, however, Elara was busy taking care of Furr and decided not to leave the house. Heck, she had been skipping classes for the past week, just so she could spend time with little Furr.
And of course, since Elara wasn't going, Vaan didn't bother going as well. He simply focused on gathering more votes and spending time with Elara and Furr.
After this, he and Elara were also going to formally create a bond with Furr, turning him into their familiar.
This was also the reason Vaan was in a hurry. He just wanted to get his leave approved and return to his mansion.
Octavius, however, still had questions.
"Are you sure you wish to leave the Academy when the Tournaments Season is about to begin?"
"Why do you think I have been running around the Academy asking for Votes? Of course, I am sure."
Vaan replied as he glanced at Octavius with a deadpan look on his face.
"..."
Octavius's mouth twitched.
In the end, he just sighed and,
"When do you want to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Octavius raised his eyebrow.
"That is correct."
"And who will be leaving with you?"
"Me, Elara, Father, Furr, and Seraphina."
"Seraphina?"
Octavius tilted his head.
"She can be useful sometimes."
Vaan spoke and Octavius nodded.
Seraphina wasn't a student who had any big impact in the Academy, her presence didn't change anything.
He was confused, but then,
"It is Mana."
Flamey, who understood that Vaan had confused the Mana whirlpool with Faith Energy's whirlpool answered.
"Mana...?"
*Whoosh* *Whoosh*
Flamey then pointed her finger at the curtains that were billowing nonstop and,
"Faith Energy doesn't interact with real objects. Its whirlpool shouldn't make the wind flow so unevenly, it is not Faith Energy...
It is... Physical form... of Mana..."
Flamey clarified and Vaan couldn't help but blink in surprise.
According to the Magic theory and principles he has read so far, Magic was like Aura, it couldn't be seen and could only be felt.
Something like the Physical form of Mana doesn't exist...
Then what was Flamey talking about?
Of course, this time, Vaan couldn't doubt the little spirit either, if before, she was just a child, then now, she was the incarnation of the Magic God.
She was the last person who would be wrong about something related to Magic.
"What is happening here!?"
Suddenly, Orion, who noticed the commotion quickly barged into the room, however, seeing how everything was a mess with strong wind currents flowing in the room, papers flying all over the place, curtains billowing, and how in the middle of the chaos, Vaan, Elara, Furr and the big Magic circle were present, Orion couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Fa-"
Vaan wanted to talk to Orion, however, his attention was quickly grabbed by Breezy, who pointed in another direction.
He turned around and noticed another whirlpool of Mana forming.
*Flicker* *Flicker*
The Magic Circle started flickering even more, it was as if it was losing its energy, however, an unknown force was keeping it active.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh*
The second whirlpool was formed successfully, resisting the wind currents of the first whirlpool and creating an ever bigger mess of the room.
"Weren't you two going to form a Bond!? What the hell is this!? What did you two do!?" Orion shouted, the wind currents were so strong that even he had to cover his eyes as he walked in.
"As if I know!" Vaan shouted back, even he couldn't understand what was happening.
This, however, wasn't the end of the situation,
One by one, more and more Mana Whirlpools were formed, the wind currents became even stronger, and now, even the small objects had started flying around the room.
It was as if someone had summoned a Tornedo right inside the room.
*Bam* *Bam*
The objects started to clash with each other, the door and windows banged continuously,
"Vaan!"
Elara panicked, hugging Vaan as tightly as she could.
"Aaauuu..."
Fur had a nervous look on his face as well.
This time, even Orion was helpless. If it was a normal Magic Spell, he could have sliced away the Mana source, ending the spell, these whirlpools however... didn't seem to have a source.
"Flamey, what is happening...?"
In defeat, Vaan turned towards the only person who could come up with an answer.
This time, however, even Flamey was helpless and shook her head.
"Don't know..."
Vaan narrowed his eyes, but then suddenly,
Another surprising thing happened,
The whirlpools of Mana that had formed inside the room all rushed towards Furr and entered his body, the Magic Circle under Furr shined brightly before it finally disappeared and suddenly, Vaan and Elara could feel a certain connection with Furr.
The Bond... was successfully formed.
