Chapter 5 - Birthday

A rough laughter was heard breaking the silence in the room "come on kiddo relax." He said 'Pheww! For a moment there I thought I was a goner.' Victor said to himself .

"do you think I would have hurt you? Come on am not that crazy. Do I look crazy to you." He said with sudden seriousness and everyone held there breath.

"Answer me!" He shouted startling everyone

"no… no not at all… maybe a little bit" Victor stammered.

"Good, I can live with that." He said nodding his head then he walked towards Victor. 'gods! Why couldn't you just close your stupid mouth, at this rate you will die Young.' Victor thought to himself.

He was so scared that he took a step back when the blonde man walked towards him. "Don't move." The man said getting impatient.

"Am sorry… I can't." Victor replied feeling very scared as they continued walking in circles.

"I said do not move."

"am trying to… but I can't, you can't just expect me to willingly stand there and get killed". Victor was terrified.

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died without knowing what killed you." The man said "take one more step and I might consider that option" he added in a menacing tune. Victor's body froze after hearing that.

The man came to him. with his hands being occupied by the Trey he was carrying Victor gulped hard and closed his eyes in reflex, after some seconds he opened them only to see the mans back as he was disappearing into the dance floor.

Apparently the man just dropped a bundle of money on the Trey Victor was carrying and left. The money he dropped was enough to cover the whole damages he may or may not have a hand in causing.

"Eey! Dude you could've just told me you wanted to pay!" Victor shouted after the disappearing figure. "Damnit he's really is crazy!" Victor cursed.

"What just happened?" A man asked still in shock.

"Didn't you see anything, that man just kicked Elijah's ass."

"What was that power, it definitely wasn't a spell."

"Are you dum or just stupid, can't you tell that he's an ability user a strong one at that."

"What's the difference?"

"Are you really an adventurer of the Smurfs family? I doubt that." The man was surprised with the other man's rate of obliviousness

"Magic is magic what's the need of classifying them?"

"You really are a dumhead, ability users are mages who don't follow the direct order of spell casting to use their magic. They are just natural with their abilities.

I mean, like instead of channeling their magic like normal Mages do before casting spells, they just … do it you know."

"Seriously?"

" Yes!Their powers can be dangerous due to how fast they can use their powers without the need to channel it to a spell."

"Wow so cool."

"Yeah, and again they have abilities that are not even elemental, hmm long story short don't mess with them!

"Tihee! Elijah really messed with the wrong guy this time."

Hearing all the people gossiping about one little show of power Victor was awed. "Why didn't I turn out an ability user" Victor said to himself with his eyes still filled with admiration.

"What happened here" a voice said turning around Victor could see Dee coming through. After hearing the story from the customers who witnessed everything from the start, he turned towards Victor.

"And you what are still doing, I give you thirty minutes to clean up this mess." He said and left the bar.

"That asshole, he was well aware about the fight that was happening down here but he decided to come when everything is a mess." Victor said looking at the man who happens to own the place in disgust.

Elijah was barned from the club house for because of the infighting. With everything that happened it wasn't a surprise as to why Victor needed to catch some sleep to cool off.

Later in the night Victor got off work and was heading home he bought some fruits at some stalls down the road. It was close to midnight night but due to the light orbs flying around, the city was beautifully lit up he bought some other groceries they needed at home.

When he got home he found a woman with her body hunched over the dining table, it seemed as if she was fast asleep. "Fuck! Don't tell me that she waited up for me again." Victor cursed heavily.

Looking at the table he could see some covered plates "and she didn't even eat, again" dropping the plastic bag he had in his hand in the kitchen he came back to the dining.

Tap! Tap!

"Mom wake up, have something to eat" Victor said as he tried to wake the woman up. Raising her head up the face of a beautiful young woman in her early twenties could be seen.

"Hey…when did you get home?" She asked him.

"just a few minutes ago." Victor replied "I thought I told you not to wait for me anymore, just eat your dinner and leave mine on the table" Victor said with concern.

"I know but you see the thing is that, your birthday is coming up next week and there is a chance that you might get admitted to the ALL ACADEMY after you awaken, since you will turn sixteen by then. So I have to spend as much time as possible with you before you go." She said.

"But we're always together" Victor said.

"V, you and I know that's not true. We barely see each other, the only time I get to spend time with you is in the morning before you go to school that's all, even during weekends. It's always from school to work and from work to bed.

I want to spend some time with you that's why even if it's just only eating dinner with you am okay with it" Amanda said "as it is am so ashamed of myself that you have to work as well to support the family" Amanda added sobbing.
