142 Chapter 139 Caged Sun (2/2)

NO SMELL.

Maybe no one would notice now that the evidence was gone. Selena was girling out, swaying back and forth as she stared at the place the caged sun had been. Stella was holding her poker face very well. She had seen a lot during her time with him in the bubble. While impressive, she had complete confidence that she would see it again.

”See mom I worked hard.”

”Yes, Joseph,” she responded in a very small voice. If it wasn't for the fact everyone else was quiet, except for Selena's happy humming, he wouldn't have heard her.

Turning to the head mages, he gave them a big smile.

”We are going to go about training a little differently. I have learned how to place my skill directly into your heads, to allow you a chance to learn more efficiently. We will start tomorrow morning. I want beds prepared for you to lay in, during the process, as it will be mentally exhausting. Be sure to bring your top three students with you, as well.”

They all nodded, too afraid to ask questions, and hurried to leave.

Joseph turned to his father, ”I worked very hard for that spell.”

”Joseph, I didn't even know magic could do that. That seems like an incredibly powerful spell. No one would dare to attack us if they knew what you are capable of now.”

”Oh, that wasn't an attack spell, that was a spell that will provide us with mana and energy.”

”That may be so, but I can guarantee that any enemy that sees that, will believe otherwise.”

Joseph frowned as his father escorted his mother away. They were proud of his accomplishments, he knew, but he couldn't help but feel that he had lost something just then.

”Joseph,” said Stella, as they were left alone. ”Don't beat yourself up too much. We talked about how everyone would fear us.”

”I know, but I never wanted to see fear in my own parent's eyes.”

”As everyone gets used to magic, that fear will fade. They will get used to it. It's just so new to them. They need time to adjust. I had nine years, and I still need time to adjust.”

”Ha! That's the most I've heard you say since you told my mom off,” he said, laughing out loud.

”I understand the type of spirit she has. She feels a need for control where she has none. I merely made her aware that she has no control over me, and to not even try. I am sure a day will come when we will be good friends. After all, we both have a common goal.”

”And what's that?” he asked, suspiciously.

”A girl never gives away all her secrets,” she said with a smile.
