While he sat inside, he did some research on how to use magic. Most of them said that without the language of origins, magic wasn't possible and many claimed to teach this language.
Lucio shook his head at the amateur attempt to scam people and kept scrolling for different ideas.
Some said magic could be done by using specific items in a certain way to achieve a desired effect but when he saw the "Magic items" it confused Lucio so much that he started losing braincells.
"What do you mean by a shining carrot!?"
He too a deep breath and checked a different website. This group mainly believed in the will of a person. "People's thoughts have a huge impact on surroundings. Watch this video to know more."
Lucio simply clicked on the link as he was desperate for answers. A skinny woman stood in the middle of a room as she explained the experiment she was going to do.
Two men sat in different rooms which took up half of the screen each. A microscope which looked a bit big, zoomed in on the glass of water in front of them and the particles were almost identical.
A woman's voice was heard in the background "We will be using magnetic resonance analysis technology and high speed photographs to observe the changes."
"The man on the left side of the screen is a serial killer and the one in the right side is a monk known for his various acts of kindness. Let's come back after an hour and see the changes in the water."
The time in the video flowed fast and the camera zoomed in on the glass of water in front of the two people. The particles in the left one looked unsymmetrical and "Ugly" but the particles in the right one were very symmetrical and pleasing to watch. They looked like ice flakes.
"Hmm…interesting…" Lucio muttered as the theory was fascinating. But Lucio noted it down in his head and searched for more options. By the time Lucio reached his hotel, he had a small list of methods written down in a notes app.
Magic due to Thoughts and Will
Magic using various "ingredients"
Magic using a "Conductor" as a magical power enhancer.
Magic circles
Black magic (very harmful to the user if used incorrectly)
Black magic was a type of magic that involved the devils. It was a contract where the "summoner" asked the devils he summoned to complete a task for him and in return he had to do something for them.
Lucio made up his mind that black magic would be his last option and walked to his room. He entered the room to see the two kids waiting for him near the door and when he entered, they asked with teary eyes "Brother, food…"
Lucio felt guilty and ordered two large pizzas with some sides. He asked them what they did and Emilia showed him her tablet while Emiliano simply jumped onto the couch and continued watching whatever he was watching.
Jetflix was open on Emilia's tablet and a movie title was seen "Devil's whispers". It was a horror movie where a man abandons his nephews in a empty hotel which was said to be haunted.
"You saw this?" Lucio asked and Emilia answered, almost crying "Yes…"
Lucio sighed as patted Emilia "I'll never leave you, okay?"
Hearing that, Emilia broke down in tears and hugged Lucio tightly and she cried loudly, as if all her emotions were flowing out.
Emiliano looked at his sister and for some reason, seeing her cry brought tears to his eyes and he ran to Lucio and punched him once before hugging him. 'what was that for…' Lucio thought but didn't say anything.
It took a while for Emilia to calm down but Emiliano was back to his "annoy-my-brother" mode as he started throwing pillows on Lucio.
Of course, it changed when one of them hit Emilia at the back of her head. He expected her to hit him but she stayed in Lucio's arms. He wanted to continue but stopped, lest he hit her again and she gave him back twofold. He didn't want to try his luck again.
The food arrived and they ate as Lucio tried to keep them entertained with his "I was a gangster and a chick magnet in middle school" which was completely made up.
Emiliano was easy to fool and Emilia didn't believe Lucio but still listened to him as the story was entertaining.
After their lunch, Lucio decided to take them out when his phone rang. He looked at the screen to see "Alex calling…."
He picked it up "Hello, what's up?"
"Hola Lucio, I just talked to my gramps and he said okay to the 3.5k rent. I called you because I forgot to tell you about the offer my gramps has and it's for students."
"Tell me about it." Lucio said as he looked out the window.
"We rent our place to students for three thousand dollars, so if you plan on going to a university, you will get this price instead."
"Hmm… Yeah, I'll be going to the Dango University. I should still get an admission though."
"Oh Dango…. I guess we could will be seeing each other more often. Alright then, I'll talk to gramps and you can move to the house tomorrow. The documents are ready and you can sign it when you arrive."
"Thanks a lot, Alex." Lucio said, thankfully.
Lucio then looked at his siblings and said "We will move to our new home tomorrow."
Unfortunately, the response he received was lacklustre as they simply watched their shows in silence. Lucio shook his head and said "Get ready, I'll take you out for a walk."
The two of them turned off their tablets and followed Lucio out. The hotel had a huge swimming pool, a casino, a restaurant and a massage room which technically was more than one room.
Lucio took them to the swimming pool and had a good swim session for an hour or so before putting on the robes that were provided to them. Emilia and Emiliano still had a lot of energy and continued splashing around until Lucio forced them out.
Lucio then took them to the massage room that was pretty empty. It had five compartments which could be covered with a curtain. A pretty lady welcomed them and assigned a masseur for each of the customers.
It was almost seven when Lucio and the two came back to their room with a few burgers and some cans of coke. They ate their meal and the two went to sleep as Lucio didn't let them use their tablets.
Lucio was a bit late when he logged in as getting the two to sleep was pretty hard.

Lucio ran to the bakery, only to see the fires already lit. He went in but the women inside didn't let him work.
"Go and rest. You are taking part in the warrior's trial right?"
Lucio sighed as he walked out with a smile, muttering "two more points…."
He had no other choice but to run and so some physical exercises. The sun rose and Lucio stood and stretched before walking towards the bakery for his lovely breakfast as he opened up the system and allotted all the experience points to strength.

Lucio felt the changes as this was a huge increase for his current stats. If a person had high stats like 80, a small increase like 0.2 wouldn't make them feel a huge difference.
He walked back to Han's house with enough bread for both. Amelia stood in the courtyard, making some soup which he could smell from ten meters away.
"Are you ready for the Trial, Samael?" She asked as she looked at him.
"Yes…. But I'm not too confident in beating Mark." He said as he shook his head and took a bite of the bread before heading inside.
