Yes.
Desmond was startled when his guess was correct before returning to his sense; he answered this calmly while continuing with his breakfast.
[Beginning Terminating process ...]
Right after he answered, he felt something was pinching him from the inside. Apart from that, he felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter.
Desmond tries to be as calm as possible so that his parents don't notice this. After a few seconds, this feeling disappeared, and he felt like something was missing inside him.
[Wild Energy Terminated!]
[Gathering Information ....]
[Information Collected!]
[
Name: Wild Energy
Info: This energy is a natural energy that is not processed by the body. Besides, this energy has also been contaminated with the previous energy explosion.
Conclusion: The energy enters when the Host is shocked and unconsciously absorbs the energy through the mouth until it finally settles in the Host's brain. This energy slightly affects Host suggestions and emotions.
]
Desmond took a deep breath at this information.
This ... also can happen .... thought Desmond. He never thought that the energy roamed around him was so dangerous if it weren't for his body processing the energy.
So this energy isn't like oxygen that can be inhaled without needing to be filtered? While in thought, Desmond didn't realize that from the outside, he seemed to be daydreaming. Even his movements stopped, which made his parents finally notice.
"Son," Leona called, but she did not get the reaction from her son.
"Let me." When Leona wanted to chant a spell, her husband stopped her.
Bastian then muttered while chanting a spell. "Lifestyle Spell: Object Control"
He saw the fork he was holding slowly drifting. It is neither the influence of dimensions nor gravity. But if it looks closely, there is a wind that supports the fork; strangely, the wind has a weight that can even lift objects as heavy as a fork.
With his control, the fork descended under the table and slowly advanced towards his son's feet.
Bastian showed a mischievous smile; he was also very enthusiastic in controlling the fork.
"Gotcha!"
When the fork that Bastian was controlling was close to his son's crotch, he accelerated the fork's speed and aimed straight!
* clang *
But instead of hearing a scream of pain, it was the sound of the fork that had been controlled now falling on the floor.
Bastian raised his head and saw that his son was now awake, smiling at him with another floating fork beside him.
"Hehe, have you awake ?" Bastian returned to his seat and looked at his son defiantly.
"Thank you for your help, father." Desmond controlled his fork and put it back on the table.
After the family finished eating, Bastian and Desmond wanted to get out and continue to the backyard to practice.
"Wait a minute." Leona opened her mouth after finishing cleaning using a handkerchief elegantly. "We postpone today's practice and focus on preparing for Desmond's departure."
Desmond and Bastian returned to their seats while the maids in the dining room walked out of the room.
"First, I got word from Clementine that Diana was coming in two days." When Leona said this, she looked at her son full of hope. I hope you treat a girl very gently.
"Mother, actually, I just won the bet and was forced to approach her." Desmond explained, he didn't want this misunderstanding to get any more serious relationship.
"No matter what the reason, later she will come and you must behave what mother had taught. Didn't we teach you how to be polite?" Leona ignored her son's excuses and snapped.
Leona's eyes shone as she stared at her son. While corners of her mouth curled upwards, giving the impression that she is smiling.
If it was only polite, I could, but that look said the opposite! Desmond argued in his mind. He wanted so badly to say that, but he knew that it would prolong this trivial matter. "With pleasure, mother."
Well, at least on the way to the academy, I just need to be 'polite' to her but at the level of 'guest.' Thought Desmond.
"And at the same time, the royal troops sent by Weston came as they promised in the same day." This time Leona looked at her husband.
Bastian understood what his wife meant was that this reminded them of their contract. "Grandmaster Weston is indeed a person who keeps his promises." Bastian and Leona then look at their son.
"Take it, easy, son, this will be the main bodyguard who will escort you to the academy," Bastian explained.
I see; maybe the royal troops they mean are the same mercenaries when they escorted Alice to the academy. "Yes, father," Desmond responded.
"Alright, now let's discuss the bodyguard you have hired." Their eyes narrowed, asking Desmond for a full explanation.
Desmond smiled confidently. "Rest assured, because the day of departure has been determined, I will notify my bodyguard." Desmond clapped his hands three times and told the maid to get the parchment and pen.
After the maid came with the equipment, Desmond then wrote very quickly and gave the parchment letter to the maid. "Deliver this to the guild and give this letter to the guild staff."
"Yes, young master." The maid replied; she then muttered and chanted a spell. "Basic Spell: Bird Communication" is a bird formed from a collection of winds.
The little bird then flew towards the guild controlled by the maid. All of the Desmond family members watched this intensely.
After a few minutes, the little bird came back with a different parchment note. The maid handed the letter to Desmond, and Desmond then read it.
"It will arrive on the same day as the royal guards and the arrival of Diana." Desmond raised his head only to see his parents curiously peek at him from a distance.
They then returned to their seats when their child saw. "Um ... you have been grown, my boy," Bastian stated while gulping his wine.
"Yes, honey, our son is getting weirder every day," Leona added. She also sipped his wine while closing his eyes.
Desmond became confused when he saw this. He didn't understand what was wrong with his actions earlier?
"We never taught you to write or read," Bastian replied awkwardly; he also smiled wryly at his son.
"We only teach you about currency and how to communicate," Leona added. She felt ashamed of herself as a parent who had failed to educate her child.
"Ah." Desmond understands that they feel guilty seeing him now. "It's no big deal; I learned it from the maids." Desmond glanced at the maid, who was still standing beside him with a wink.
The maid understood her young master's meaning, she added. "That's right, my lord and my lady. You commissioned us to tutor the young master, and we have succeeded in educating him even so that he can negotiate."
Desmond looked at the maid doubtfully and saw her give him a thumbs up. This time he became dumbfounded by the maid's lies.
With no shame, Bastian stared at his son while puffing out his chest. "That's right, my son, even though we can't teach you, at least we have assigned the maids instead."
Bastian didn't give Desmond a chance to argue, he added. "Since it's already noon and we can't practice, you can now rest in your room. Father and mother are going shopping at the market. " Bastian also grabbed Leona's hand and rushed out of the room.
What the fuck? Are they too embarrassed to admit their own mistakes and make a lame excuse to run away? Desmond was shocked by his father's behavior, which was getting ridiculous over time.
As for her mother, for the first time, he saw her shy like a girl who has just fallen in love. He then glanced at the maid and found she was covering her face. "Why did you cover your face?"
"N ... othing, young master." The maid also hurriedly left the room.
Desmond became astonished, at first he thought that his parents ran away in shame but seeing the reaction of the previous maid...
* swoosh *
Suddenly a gust of wind entered the room, making his body shiver.
Wait ... Desmond then touched his chest and found that his hand was touching his skin directly.
This ... In disbelief, Desmond touched his body with both hands. He also glanced at his body and found that.
"I forgot to wear my clothes." Remembering that he was acting cool in front of his parents made him cover himself in shame. "Then why didn't mother and father tell me beforehand ?!"
Desmond added, "And also why are the maids acting as if all of this is normal !?" Desmond then used his custom spell, which made his body shrouded in sunlight and slowly disappeared.
Desmond quickly arrived at his room and closed the door. "Father must be thinking strange things about me earlier." He then walked to the mirror, showing his six-pack body and his darkened expression.
"But this is a good time to experiment." After picking up and putting on his clothes, Desmond looked for more new items for his experiment.
