30 Chapter 30- Cleansing (2/2)

”During the mission, we were attacked by thieves. Drodus cast a flame blanket spell, but it was only powerful enough to singe the toes of the enemies we were facing. I merely enhanced the spell with my own energy, and this put the credit of taking down the thieves onto Drodus.”

Dubs switched back with Alt, and Dubs also began to speak to Ivan.

”Ivan, I wish for you to keep the power I have a secret among the members of the resistance. If word gets out about me, things will surely become restless around here. I wish to at least take the time to train until that happens.”, Dubs asked.

Ivan smiled and replied. ”There is no need to worry. I've been monitoring your progress, and you have physical training down to a level that I can barely even comprehend. You most likely have already surpassed me, so I will give you one week before sending you away. Train your magical control, and increase your mana capacity. By the time you leave here, you should be able to at least cast some basic spells of each type.”, Ivan ordered.

”You will then leave to head to Reagan's home, and there you will begin your research to become a real mage. You have the control and ability to do so, but you will need to research each spell individually. Reagan has a variety of lab equipment and study material for you, so I would advise you to finish up here and leave as soon as possible. Do not worry about doing missions yet for the resistance, for now simply focus on your studies. I will come to you when something important comes up.”

Ivan finished his explanation, and Dubs agreed. ”I will do my best, captain.”, Dubs responded, before leaving back to the dining hall for dinner.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, Dubs face wrinkled once more and he began to giggle to himself.

”Killing those thieves back on that mission was... very enjoyable. I can't wait until I go to live on the outside where the enemies might be able to put up a fight... ehehe.... and as for the experiments... there are... many things I would like to try...”, Dubs snickered.

His face went back to normal, and this time he remembered what he had just been saying. Instead of being disturbed however, he felt indifferent to the blood lust that was subconsciously motivating him.

Sitting down to eat with his squad, Dubs and the party raised their glasses to toast for their first successful mission together. ”Cheers!”

The party talked and laughed for an hour or two, and even though Samuel and Dubs sat away from each other and didn't speak to each other, they silently accepted that they would not quarrel for the sake of their mutual party members.

Tirian told stories of back when he was a noble. ”And then, the Duke said to me, 'Good sir, if you didn't purchase 20 gaggles of geese, surely you didn't purchase 40!', and I replied to him, 'of course not good sir! I purchased 60!'”

The table bursted out in laughter, and Dubs started to feel some compassion for his squadmates. Despite the bloodlust and insanity that formed a large part of his personality between him and Alt, it was times like these that made him realize the value of the little things in life.

”I will become stronger, and enjoy when the time comes to crush my enemies, but I will also do so to protect my comrades.”, Dubs thought.

Dubs headed back to his room for the night to get a good rest before he would have to train up his magic. ”Perhaps when I have established myself as a scientist, I will invite those three to be lab assistants. It will always be useful to have more helping hands...”

Alt butted in. ”But Samuel will be long gone before that happens, am I wrong?”

Dubs sinisterly grinned. ”No, you are right. By the time I have established myself as a scientist, both Peter and Samuel will be long gone, as they do not seem to understand how to respect other people. I will cleanse this land of the people who do not respect those below them, and I will do it through science and magic.”

Alt began to snicker. ”Ehehe. I like the sound of that. We can kill two birds with one stone that way, eliminate enemies, and protect those who are righteous. One day we will be at the top of this world, and we will be able to define what is righteous.”

Dubs smiled and once more started to laugh maniacally with Alt.

After going to his room and sleeping, he woke the next day and jumped out of bed, ready to improve his magical abilities.

”The time to train ourselves is now. Lets go, Alt.”
