Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 275 That’s what you sent me there for in the first place, did you not?

"You… You little brat…"

Astra had no words and seeing her acting like that, a big, cheeky smile appeared on Vaan's face as he tilted his head and stared at his mother.

"What? Speechless at how amazing your son is?"

"You are one lucky brat, that's for sure." Astra nodded. Not giving him all the credit to make sure everything doesn't get into her son's head.

"I won't deny that." Vaan nodded.

He could be considered lucky. After all, he got everything he needed just as he came to this world, he had Flamey to guide him with matters related to magic, he also had a gem like Elara as his fiancée, a mother like Astra and a father like Orion, he practically had everything a man would want and he was grateful for that.

However, because he had everything he wanted, he also knew just how important it was to make sure to quickly get stronger and raise his influence to protect what he had.

After all, this world was different from his previous world. His previous world was brutal, sure, the people at the lower end of the ladder suffered a lot, however, when compared to Agresia, Earth felt like a child's playground.

Sure, all the dark things were done behind the doors, that part would never change no matter the world, at the very least, the people sitting at the upper side of the ladder had to maintain their 'reputation'.

Agresia, on the other hand, was a much more dangerous world in comparison.

Here, there were no such considerations, as long as you had the reason and power, you could pretty much do whatever you wanted without worrying about the consequences.

The weak had no right here.

And Vaan was no fool, he knew that the road he was walking in was a road to no return, to be thinking about reviving a force that once rivalled the Church of Light, he was sure to face strong resistance from the rest of the forces.

One wrong move and not just him, but the entire family would be feeling the brunt of his actions.

"Have you thought about your future moves yet?"

And of course, as the head of the Vesta Family, Astra understood it as well. Not that she was worried, the moment she heard that the Spirits around Vaan were able to absorb this Faith Energy, she had already started her preparations. Also, it is not like this would be the first time the Vestas would be facing the entire world, they have done it in the past, doing it again wouldn't be a problem.

Astra was already mentally prepared. The only thing that changed was the scope of the battle, now, things have gotten much bigger and more interesting.

"For now, I only wish to recreate the system and make it possible for little Spirits to bless their Believers.

The advantage I gain when the Spirits absorb the Faith Energy is quite high and currently, I am only a Basic Mage.

Once I advance and as my Spirits grow, I believe the advantage I will have would be much higher than what I could even expect, so having an unlimited amount of Faith Energy at our disposal isn't a bad option."

"So you are planning to go through with it huh…" Astra muttered. Everyone in the room understood what the woman was implying.

As for the answer to her words…

Vaan just smiled,

"I am sure you would have been disappointed in me if I wasn't, no? After all, your tyrant-like nature isn't exactly a secret."

"How rude, calling me a tyrant." Astra pouted.

"Are you not?"

"Of course not. Just look at me, do I look like a tyrant to you?" Astra questioned, looking into Vaan's eyes and in that instant, Vaan could feel it.

One wrong answer and he would regret it, therefore,

"Now that I think about it. I believe they are only false rumours spread to defame you. I mean, no matter how I see it, you only look like a beautiful, magnanimous and compassionate leader who cares about her people."

"Exactly." Astra nodded, patting Vaan's head.

"I am glad that you are not a blind fool who follows baseless rumours."

"Mhm, of course not. I may not have inherited all your intelligence, but I am still your son." Vaan nodded continuously.

Astra smiled even more.

'The Mother of Tower of Magic's Head huh… that's not a bad position.'

She muttered, her eyes shined with a dangerous glint and the instant Vaan noticed this change in his mother's eyes,

'Magnanimous and compassionate my ass. She'sclearlya tyrant.'

Just that glint alone was enough to send shivers down his spine.

"Pure Faith huh…" Suddenly, Astra muttered out loud.

Since she liked the idea so much, she decided to actively think this through,

"Pure Faith comes from the heart." She repeated Selene's words out loud. Then, she glanced at Vaan,

"You do not believe in Magic God, correct?"

"I already have a 'link' Flamey and other spirits, I do not need to produce Faith energy, they can bless me using any form of energy."

"So we do not have an example we can follow…"

"We do not." Vaan shook his head. "We are walking blindly here."

Astra nodded in understanding.

"I guess we need to get in contact with a church or a similar power, they are the only ones who can guide us here."

"We need to be extremely subtle and careful about it, Elara and I talking to Selene was much different than you contacting the members of the church, your position puts you in a difficult situation here."

Vaan spoke.

Astra didn't say anything and just nodded, she knew this was true as well. Her mind, however, was occupied by another thought right now,

"Anyways, how long do you two plan on staying here?"

Vaan frowned, confused as to where this question came from, soon however, he stopped thinking and replied,

"The Tournaments start after the new year, so we have a month."

"You plan to take part in the tournaments huh," Astra commented with a knowing smile on her faceandhearing those words, a big, demonic smile appeared on Vaan's face,

"Is that not obvious?

That's what you sent me there for in the first place, did you not?"
