"Jonathan! What did I tell you about using that dangerous magic outside controlled environments?!"
The boy froze at the sound of the authoritarian voice. A wry smile appeared on his lips as he turned to face Mr. Boudreau.
"I'm sorry Grandpa. I just got so excited to meet Player Astaroth and I got carried away."
While saying that, he dispersed the mana around his hand, scratching the back of his head with an apologetic smile.
Jack turned his head to look at Alex, whose hair was still white.
"I see you met our other resident, Mr. Leduc. Would you mind changing back? I know you mean no harm, but that form is quite… dangerous."
Alexander smiled. He then closed his eyes, imagining himself letting go of the little flame next to his soul.
As soon as he did, he felt the surge of power slowly recede. Fatigue also slowly crept up on him.
'My mana capacity is still so low here.'
"Good. Is it too late to join you for lunch?"
