Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

"Try not to cause too big of a scene."

Gabel spoke.

"Don't worry, I am a peace-loving man."

Vaan replied as he grabbed the plate, then, he turned around and walked into his room as well.

Inside the room, Aldric was sitting on the sofa with his legs on the table, reading the notes Vaan had prepared while reading all the Magic Theories with a casual look on his face.

A very disrespectful act. Some mages with bad tempers might even kill in anger if someone read their notes without their permission. Of course, Aldric never thought Vaan would dare to do that.

The Little Fairy flew around the notes with a worried look on her face, however, Aldric couldn't see her, and neither could she do anything to Aldric.

Seeing that Vaan had walked into the room, Aldric threw the notes on the table and spoke,

"What's with these notes? You even prepared another Magic Circle. What? Are you actually getting serious about learning magic? Pfftt! Hahaha!! What a joke!"

He started laughing out loud.

"And what's with this plate? Did you bring it here to serve me some snacks since I have returned? Heh, that's good. It seems you are finally learning things."

Aldric continued to laugh.

Vaan continued to observe Aldric.

Aldric was a person who had spent a decent amount of time with previous Vaan, therefore, currently, Vaan was experiencing a new influx of memories related to Aldric rushing into his mind.

From the time he was introduced, to how he hired him as his personnel butler, all the way to when Christopher had taken over this body.

Aldric wasn't always this rude, he was subservient when he first came here, however, soon, he realized what kind of person Vaan was.

He was madly in love with Seraphina.

However, that was not it, along with that, he was easy to fool.

He may look like a typical Young Master who was rude, obnoxious, and someone who takes out his frustration on others, however, in truth, handling him was not that difficult.

Deep down, Vaan was a pushover.

'I was sent by Lady Seraphina.'

'Lady Seraphina tressures me quite a lot, that is why she sent me here instead of someone else.'

'Lady Seraphina values my opinions while making a decision. She even told her friend to not marry the person she likes because I didn't get a good vibe from him, that is how much she trusts me.'

Slowly and steadily, Aldric started feeding these words into Vaan's head. The more he did it, the more intimidated Vaan felt.

She felt like Aldric was sent here as a 'test' for him.

A test to check if he was worthy of her.

Therefore, he needed to treat Aldric well.

With these thoughts, Vaan's attitude in front of Aldric changed.

From declining to do certain jobs, to outright disrespecting him, Aldric's attitude started changing.

And now, he had turned into a servant who was confident enough to comfortably sit on the sofa with his legs on the table when his master was standing right in front of him.

"Heh."

Vaan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Honestly, Aldric was quite intelligent, he was someone who could have been useful for Vaan in the future, however,

What Vaan hated the most was being disrespected.

However, right now, Aldric was exactly the type of person Vaan wanted to see the most.

He had holed himself inside a single room, reading and more reading, for 12 whole days!

As mentioned before, he wasn't much of a reader in his previous life,

Vaan's hands were itching.

And now that a punching bag was right in front of him, how could he not be happy?

With a big smile on his face, Vaan rubbed the back of his neck,

"Aldric, my good friend."

Then, he walked towards Aldric and sat right next to him.

"Do you really not remember anything when you see this plate in my hand?" He questioned as he brought the plate right in front of him.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Aldric frowned.

For some reason, he felt like something was wrong. Especially the way Vaan was acting...

He was definitely different from before.

"To think you won't remember anything, magic sure is wonderful." Vaan chuckled.

"What are you talking abo-"

*Bam*

*Crack*

Before Aldric could complete his sentence, Vaan smashed the plate on his head.

Aldric's eyes widened in surprise as he slowly felt the pain sinking in.

"AAagggghhh!!"

He shouted.

The wounds that had barely healed opened up again.

Vaan, however, wasn't done, with a wide smile on his face, he grabbed Aldric's hair and smashed it on the table.

Then, he pushed the table away and smashed his head on his knee,

*Bam*

"Ugghhh!!"

Then again,

One more time,

And another one,

*Bam*

"Guuuhhh!!"

Aldric groaned in pain as he fell on the floor.

Vaan unleashed a series of punches, hitting Aldric's face.

It felt wonderful.

This man had the makings of a great punching bag.

Once Vaan was Satisfied, he finally stopped beating him.

This time, things were different than before, there were still some things he needed to know, things only Aldric should know.

Yes, an interrogation round was in due.

Aldric felt his vision blurring.

The pain was too much for him to handle, however, other than pain, the shock he felt was even greater.

Why was Vaan hitting like him? No, was he even capable of hitting people like this?

Was he really the same Vaan who got nervous every time he is around him?

"W-What are you doing?"

With a bloodied face, Aldric questioned.

"What am I doing? I am disciplining you."

Vaan replied.

"Y-You think Lady Seraphina would forgive you!?"

Aldric decides to use his trump card.

However,

"Not listening to the orders given by the family head.

Let's not even talk about disrespecting, you even dare to order around and threaten the Young Master of the Vesta Family,

All these actions of not putting the Vesta Family in your eyes,

Do you think a mere Lady Seraphina or her Stormweaver family would try to protect you against these charges?"

"!!!"

Aldric's eyes widened in surprise.

"You must really trust your Lady Seraphina, don't you?

Call her then.

I would like to see if she comes and saves her 'most treasured subordinate',

Or just sacrifices him like a no longer useful chess pawn."
