Chapter 85 Brian’s Stupidity
(From MC Perspective)
Carey's Residence,
"Phew!"
I slowly opened my eyes. While glancing at the ceiling, I couldn't help but sigh in relief. It's been two hours since I got back to my room. I fell asleep due to tiredness. But I still don't plan on getting up. The old rogue mage really scared me today.
But thanks to Mr. John Meyers, it really gave me some confidence. Though he didn't explicitly say about the rogue mages. But I believe someone will notice from Yellow River Academy.
Even if Captain Tyler fails to suppress the Poison Dagger Organization, I believe Wizards from Yellow River Academy will take care of it.
Also Mr. John Meyers had promised to solve my trouble at School. It also full fills my promise to Ms. Rivers. I can't wait to look at the Headmaster's face tomorrow. "Ha...Ha...Ha.." I laughed out myself by thinking about it.
If everything came as I imagined, then in a few days both me and fatty Lucas will transfer to Class A1. Thereafter half the trouble of resources will be solved. I grinned thinking about it.
Talking about the resources, I retrieved some stuff from an old rogue. I don't know what kind of relics he had collected in his storage bracelet. It must be worth looking at.
Next moment, I took out his storage bracelet and placed it in my palm. This storage bracelet is bronze in color with intrinsic designs. I need to use my mind power to check it.
Next moment, I probe it using my mind power. But just as my mind power went near it, I felt sudden heart palpitations. Next second, immediately cancelled out the mind power. "It's really bad!" I mumbled under my breath.
There must be some kind of runic restrictions placed in it. I feel uneasy about it, who knows if there are any runic restrictions placed inside. So it's stupid to access the storage bracelet without knowing anything about it.
I should have waited for Captain Tyler's mission to complete. And in time, I should also learn to crack runic restrictions. At this point of time, I can't ask anyone's help.
I lied to my dad. I don't know what he will do, if he learns the truth about the incident. My heart skips a beat while thinking about it. I can only hope the news sites won't pick up this matter again.
Shaking my head, I put behind those unnecessary thoughts. I can take only one step at a time. Then suddenly an idea came to mind.
The only person I can ask right now is Ms. Rivers. It's a good opportunity, after revealing the happy news regarding Mr. John Meyers help. I may ask her help about runic restrictions.
After carefully sorting out my thoughts, I begin to meditate.
...
The following day,
Next morning, I woke up earlier. I feel good by recovering from yesterday's gloomy atmosphere. With this refreshing energy, I begin to do my morning routine.
A few minutes later, after walking out of the bath. I begin to get ready for school. In meantime, I couldn't help but think about Captain Tyler's mission.
He didn't call me yesterday. Earlier, he had told me that he will call me after the mission. Which means their mission is not over yet. "What is going on really?"" I muttered to myself.
Then shaking my head, I plan to call him after getting out of home.
Soon, After getting ready I came downstairs to have breakfast.
I saw mum is arranging plates on dining table.
Seeing her I smiled and walked towards the dining table.
Upon noticing Vincent's presence, Mother Lila exclaimed in surprise, "I heard you are in the news yesterday." She said with a smile looking at her son she added, "You did good by saving that old man."
When she was in hospital, she coincidentally saw the news. At first she didn't even believe the silhouette in the news to be her son.
Later, she was surprised when it was confirmed by her husband Brad Carey. But due to the night shift she wasn't able to contact Vincent. Only after coming this morning, she decided to prepare his favourite food for breakfast.
As a healing mage she felt good that her son is the same as them, he helped the needy people.
Listening to mom's appreciation, I smiled wryly in heart. If she knows the truth, I don't dare to imagine how she will react. Slightly, shaking my head I sat in my seat.
Instead of replying, Vincent just smiled. Seeing that mother Lila didn't ask back again. Then she gently placed healthy vegetables on her son's plate.
5 minutes later,
Brian Carey also came to have morning breakfast before heading back to his academy.
Seeing Vincent, he couldn't help but think about yesterday's event. He recalled how both himself and father forgot about asking about his recent activities.
Yesterday was not a good time for that conversation. So he plans to ask about it now. Otherwise, who knows what changes will come next.
Next moment, He reaches the spot and sat opposite his brother Vincent. The other hand, Mom Lila also notices her elder son. She again gently served the food on the plate.
By looking at Brian she asked, "Brian, Your father told me that you want to discuss something. What is it?" Mother Lila Carey sounded calm.
"Hmmm" I was taken back a little. Looking at my brother, I couldn't help but think whether my brother is going to stage any new drama here.
But I didn't show any expression. I glanced at Brian for his answer.
The other hand Brian stunned by his mom's words. He was planning to just talk about it now. But who would have thought his mom would ask him first.
Next second, he takes a glance at his brother Vincent who is silently eating food without minding it.
This conversation is exactly about Vincent's recent activities. Seeing that his mother is bringing this topic to the table now, he wonders whether it's intentional or not.
Yet by looking at his mother's expression he feels it's not she is just asking casually. So he commented, "It's nothing Mom, Since Vincent is not home. I just want to ask about his magic path progression to both of you."
When he said that I puked some food pieces suddenly. "Nice brother!" I uttered. Why is he worrying about my magic path progression? I couldn't help but look at my brother amusingly.
He really thinks I'm just a couch potato and helpless bookworm who is used to spending most of his time in his room. I sneered in my heart.
My good brother really doesn't know about my recent developments. If he visits my school, he will know eventually. Shaking my head, I'm eager to listen to what he is going to talk about me.
The other hand, Mom Lila Carey reveals a look of understanding. It's nothing but the same old topic. Debate about pocket money between her two sons.
She heard about it from their father Brad, but in her point of view it's nothing serious. But she wondered why her old son worries so much about it.
Next moment, she looks at her son and asked back, "What about it?" This time she changed her tone. It was very stern. If it is really about pocket money, then her old son Brian is making too much fuss about it.
Past fews weeks were one of the happiest weeks in their life. Her young son Vincent successfully broke through the cocoon and awakened sub taboo power.
From that day onwards their family is complete, a perfect wizard family. Both parents don't need to worry about Vincent anymore.
Because of it, they have been saying yes to his every wish for the past few weeks. If it was old him, then it's rare to see him open his mouth.
But everything changed after his awakening, Vincent has been socializing and going out weekly which is a very good thing. Yet Brian's sudden questioning is really disappointing.
Brian stunned by his mum's harsh words.
"Mom?" He uttered hesitantly.
Brian really stupified by his mother's sudden change. "What is going on?" He thought to himself.
Then he hurriedly commented, "I'm just curious, Vincent is visiting Claudia Gym very frequently. So I'm wondering about his progression. That's all" Brian explained in one breath.
Then he turned towards his mother to look at his reaction.
"This!" I thought it's something else. But it's about Claudia Gym. Why is he so obsessed with Claudia Gym? My eyes gleamed with curiosity.
And Brian wants to know about my progression. is he stupid or what? It's been only a few weeks since I have awakened. It's impossible to have heaven defying progression with my current background.
"So it's something else?" I muttered while looking at him.
Mom Lila Carey too feels something off about it. "Why is he asking about Vincent's progression?" She thought to herself. Then she couldn't help but look at her son again.
