Chapter 194 Barrier Game (4)

"Gorgeous..." the grandma exclaimed while looking at this art and others nodded in absolute agreement.

Rein was the only one who had a somewhat normal expression, and she looked at me.

'You are amazing', she said with her eyes and I just smiled understanding.

Even I knew this, but now, 'my' every spell was flawless as well as gorgeous.

Maybe they couldn't see them before because of so many barriers but, right now they could and, all six spells I had cast were like a painting.

A gorgeous painting, art so beautiful they couldn't help but admire it.

It was a bit embarrassing, but it was just a habit now.

I was an admirer of true beauty, and I liked it that way.

The definition of beauty I had was also different from the norm, and my artistic thinking was one of the reasons my master loved my spells.

And even though they couldn't come close to hers, they were awesome from the normal human point of view.

The red, blue, and yellow magic circles had attractive designs made from different use of complex techniques. The two green ones joined with each other and rotated in the air at a slower pace.

And the brown one on the ground was the smallest of all, as well as most geometrical.

This was indeed amazing.

Although all of these complex spells were scripted already and I just used them on the spot, just creating one of them takes me hours on my own.

Good thing that I already had many smaller ones prepared and much more.

All the preparations I did for the so-called 'test' she was going to give went into the water and I couldn't even use 30% of what I had prepared.

And now that I had Lucy, a unique being with me, so I had just asked her to script these things.

She can do this one, and I was happy I had her.

Although she was slower than me, her efficiency was far better than mine.

And she could just keep the spells on herself. And transfer it to my mind whenever I needed it.

Although this process consumed a lot of energy, it was a good last-moment resort.

Well... it was what it was but, this admiration and awe had to end at some point.

All of them knew I had an amazing master who had taught me these things, and they never asked me anything about her.

But I knew they were smart enough to guess something closer to the truth.

I knew they wouldn't ever reach the conclusion that my master was a divine beast, but I believed these old grandpas and grandmas at least reach the conclusion my master was something close to a [Saint].

Well, I can't tell them that one, so it was all up to them to figure out everything.

But for now, I had to end this admiration.

-Snap!

I snapped and all the Mana spells… just vanished.

They all knew this would happen, so they just sighed at this and the grandma nodded at me.

"You win from just being able to create spells like these, young one.

I would have loved to meet the one who taught you but, that is impossible now, right?" she asked with a hopeless expression, and I just looked down at those words.

Yes, they can't meet her now. She was gone.

I just smiled with clear sorrow visible on my face and on this, Anna looked up at me.

I knew most of the people here might know what it feels like to lose someone close to you, so they all understood these emotions.

So they didn't ask anything about this one any further.

'Well... I can't change what has already happened. So, let's be in the present where I have everyone with me.'

Taking a deep breath, I just nodded, and the sudden silence vanished with my voice.

"Ok, so that is it. Now, grandma, there is another barrier. Amazing right?" I asked with a bright expression and the confusion returned to her sad face.

p "Where?" she asked with genuine curiosity, not finding anything even after searching with Mana.

She looked wide and deep, but nothing caught her attention in this normal room.

And when she didn't find anything, she just threw the fork she was holding at one of the walls… impatient grandmother.

And though the way she threw it was so gentle and normal, the moment it left her hand, the speed increased many folds and when it collided with the walls like some super fast projectile... it bounced and just fell down without any energy left.

And the way it absorbed all the power of the fork surprised everyone once again.

"Wow... but this isn't Mana. This... is some different energy, isn't it, Eon?" Grandma asked with a surprised face without needing to think too deeply about it.

I just nodded and took off the last of the barrier in the room.

"Something I can do with my Origin skill. Amazing isn't it?" I smirked the surprise in her eyes increased even more.

"Fascinating... I think, Eon, we will have to chat one of these days," she responded, and the dangerous fork flew back to her hand.

I knew she would also ask for a long chat, and even I wanted to talk with her but, thankfully she didn't say tonight.

This day had stretched quite a bit but, there were still many things left.

And the silent Carla was even more fried up than before now.

The fire to kill in her eyes was burning quite fiercely, and the match that would happen with her was going to be fun.

But for now...

"Ok, I lost. Eon is the winner today. And the dinner also seems to be done.

Lady Anna? Will you bestow the precious stone on your big brother?" She asked with proper respect and a cheerful smile and on those… Anna jumped from Zoe's lap.

"Yei~! Big brother is awesome~!" She cheerfully shouted and ran toward me across the giant table after giving Zoe a free kiss.

Running for a while and not wanting to cross this long table, she just went under the table and crossed to the other side.

My smart little angel.

And then, running towards me, she jumped towards me as I stood to catch her.

"Hehehe~!" I lifted her in the air with the same bright smile and circled while she was still midair as she giggled with her marvelous voice.

"Thank you for the great honor my little lady~!" I also giggled like her as I sat down with her on my lap.

Everyone smiled while looking at both of us, and the weird atmosphere from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

"Here. Your prize, big brother. Anna is proud of you~!" She complained as she patted my head with her little hands and I smiled helplessly at this.

Mom and everyone else shook her head while Rein looked at me enviously.

She also wanted to be patted by this angel, but alas, this was my gift greater than this shiny rock.

This was good, everything from my little sister on my lap, and everyone looking at us warmly.

And the dinner was also finished.

"Hmmm... it is time for dessert, right? How about I make something?" I asked… and as soon as those sudden words came out of my mouth, the greatest reaction at this dinner table exploded at once.
