1st PoV
Iris said, "You have woken up". Then she hugged me and said, "I am glad".
Then she stopped hugging me and lightly punched me and said "You should stop making us all worry, you know. They were both so worried that they didn't sleep for a day. I told them to sleep but they didn't. I guess their bodies just gave out."
I said, "Iris, did you sle…."
Noah suddenly woke up and interrupted me. He said "You woke up Mr Adair. You shouldn't make others worry, you know. Be more careful next time."
Hearing Noah's voice Lily woke up and said "Why did you do these dangerous things? You could have died. Stop worrying people to death."
Seeing their reactions made me have a fuzzy feeling in my chest. After 4 years I have someone who cares for me like a family. I then said while scratching the back of my head with my left hand " I am sorry. I did my mission perfectly but when I was about to call to pick me up. There was a boy about to get hit by a truck. I used my magic to save the boy. That's when I lost control of magic and got hit by a curse".
Then my face turned dark and said "It was an inheritance-type cursed object."
Hearing that Iris's face turned dark. Noah and Lily were confused.
Iris then said "Inheritance-type cursed object is called when wizards or witches who were afraid of death cursed an object to take over the body of the people who touched it. Which means you..."
Hearing this Noah and Lily had a mixed expression. They were angry and scared.
I then said "Don't worry. I killed her and escaped. She didn't know what kind of magic she had and she was too overconfident. And I got kind of pissed at some of the things she said so I kind of killed her a bit brutally."
Iris then asked, "Are you okay?"
I said "Yeah, I am fine. I also got something. I will tell you about it later. But first, you all should sleep. Mind Magic Sleep."
Before they could retort they already fell asleep. It was kind of easy to make them sleep as they were already so tired. They all kind of worried too much but thinking about it made me have a faint smile on my face.
I asked the doctor if he could do spatial magic to transport them to my house and he agreed. So currently I have Noah sleeping in my room. Iris and Lily in the other.
I made some breakfast and checked the date. It looks like I slept a day and a half. So much time was wasted on that witch. I sighed. I then ate my breakfast.
After 7 long hours of doing nothing but checking upon them, they woke up. They were kind of mad at me for making them asleep but they understood why I did, at least I think.
I made all of them a butter-basted steak with mashed potatoes on the side. I also bought chocomarsh for dessert.
When we were eating the food Noah started the conversation by saying "Mr Adair, you said you gained something when you fought that witch, What did you get?".
I said, "The witch I was fighting had Matter Magic. With that she made some kind of matter which disobeys the laws of nature".
Iris then stopped eating and started at m. She then said, "So you are telling me you fought the banshee witch and survived".
I looked confused and asked "The banshee witch?".
Iris then palmed her head and muttered something. I could hear some words like of course, he, something stupid. Iris then said "The banshee witch is a very old witch. She was born in the 11th century. From the old stories, I have heard. She used some kind of Black gooey substance and killed people brutally using it. She is also very overconfident and likes to laugh while she is killing. The laughs were like screams of banshees for people as they heard it while dying. I just thought it was an old story to make children get scared."
I thought for a second and said "Yeah, that matched her personality. But you forgot sadism. She is very sadistic. She likes to make people suffer. Anyway, she was easy to defeat because she severely underestimated me. Forget about that. I kind of got that black gooey stuff. I remember her calling it the dark matter, the one which disobeys the laws of nature."
Noah then said "Can you use them? It's going to be hard training a second affinity for it."
I then said, "No problem, I have Manipulation Magic which means I can use it."
Noah then had a small smile on his face and joked "I kind of envy you, you know."
I then continued his joke and said while patting his back "Don't worry you will get my level one day."
We all then laughed as we forgot about this. After eating the food, all of them went to their respective homes.
It… it felt kind of lonely without them. To distract myself, I looked through my phone, I saw old photos of my parents. Then I saw the picture when I graduated from the school. I had a smile on my face as I remembered those events.
I eventually slept. The next day I woke up and did the morning routine had breakfast and I went to the bakery to buy some chocomarsh as I am craving some.
I then sat at home and watched 2 movies as I was kind of tired of doing missions. I decided to take a break and took an evening stroll. I forgot how beautiful this place is. How the cities were built and how they still kept the vegetation. As I was walking I looked at the river and sat there looking at the sunset. I watched the sun go down as I remembered that I do not want to burn down and that I should take a break like this once in a while. I returned to my house, made dinner and slept.
