"You wanted to unseal my mana vessel?" reacted Hannah to her daughter while the family was having breakfast.
Evelyn nodded confidently.
"Yes, mother. And with your permission, I would like to do it right away!"
"What do you mean by unsealing your mother's mana vessel, Evelyn?" asked Bryce.
"I'm planning to remove her vessel's limitation so it could reach its true potential." answered Evelyn.
Hannah was shocked to hear those words.
"Limitation? Why would there be a limitation on my mana vessel?"
"In the Leonardo's Oath, it was said that the Leonardo family will not garner the attention of the world in order to protect the Great Wisdom. This is referring to the true capability of the Leonardo blood." explained Evelyn.
She pointed to an old painting of the first family head hanged across the room.
"Elias Leonardo applied a great magic on his descendants to seal their mana vessel so they would not become great mages that could be recorded in history. That was why the best mage Leonardo family could ever produce was a C-rank mage."
"And is it okay for us to remove that seal now?" asked Bryce.
Evelyn proceeded to present the Leonardo Grimoire to her parents.
"Of course, father! The Great Wisdom has already been revealed. There was no need to keep the Leonardo family hidden anymore. And within the reformed Leonardo Grimoire, there is a spell that could undo the seal."
Hannah rose from her seat and walked to Evelyn.
"Darling, are you saying that this spell will make me stronger? Do you wish for me to be stronger?" asked Hannah.
Evelyn promptly nodded.
"Yes, mother! It will make you stronger and I DO wish to make you stronger. (Considering the actions I'll be taking in the future, your and father's life will be at risk. So I needed to make sure that the two of you will be able to protect each other.)"
"I'd say let her cast the spell on you, my love." said Bryce to his wife. "It will only benefit our family if you become an even stronger mage than you are right now."
"...You're all correct." said Hannah. She then took Evelyn's hands. "Let's do this right away!"
As soon as they were done with their meal, Evelyn, Hannah, and Bryce went to the training hall.
Evelyn instructed Hannah to sit on the ground while Evelyn cast the unsealing spell behind her.
"Judging from the size of your mana vessel and mana quantity, you're on the level of an E-rank mage according to the Magic Tower Classification." said Evelyn to her mother. "After we unseal your vessel, I projected it will improve to be as good as an A-rank mage."
Hannah and Bryce were surprised by this statement.
"A-rank? That's four classes above!" said Bryce.
"I believe that's the actual typical latent magic potential of the Leonardo blood." stated Evelyn.
"Usually a mage with E-rank mana vessel quality could still become a C-rank mage if they knew how to use their spells accordingly." said Hannah. "So if I have an A-rank vessel quality,"
"You could be on par with an S-rank mage if you improve your skills." added Evelyn. "Alright, let's begin! Remember what I told you to do once the unsealing process is initiated, mother."
"Of course!"
"I'm chanting the spell, be prepared!"
Evelyn extended her hands to initiate the spell.
Golden magic circles appeared around Hannah: one above Hanna's head, one on the ground beneath her, one on her stomach, and one on her heart.
Einsof's Chosen One then began casting the spell using God's forgotten language.
[The Promised Time has arrived, the Second Oath has been spoken, and the Great Wisdom hidden in the family grimoire has been revealed to the world. The Leonardo Pledge has been fulfilled.]
The golden magic circles on Hannah glowed even brighter.
[The Leonardo Descendants need not hide anymore. Instead, it is now time for our family to step into the world so we can help bring forth the great radiance of the Great Wisdom to all over.]
The magic circles started spinning. Hannah began to feel painful reaction all over her body.
"(It's the effect of the unsealing process. Like Evelyn said, I need to focus on circulating my mana so it doesn't turn erratic while my vessel is transforming. I have to keep my body stable during the transition phase.)"
[O Leonardo Descendant, hear this words of blessing from your ancestor, Elias Leonardo:]
The spinning on the magic circles accelerated. Hannah's breathing turned heavy.
[May your mind is full with resolution, for many challenges will hinder your quest in spreading the light of the Great Wisdom.]
The golden magic circle above Hannah's head cracked and shattered. Its fragments dissolved to thin air.
A thin layer of blue aura suddenly appeared along Hannah's surface.
[May your feet are strong with your faith in Einsof, for the journey to carry the light of the Great Wisdom to all over the world is treacherous.]
The magic circle below Hannah shattered like the first one. The blue aura on her grew larger.
"Ughh…" suffered the woman.
Bryce who was watching the scene unfold did not dare to intervene for Evelyn had already warned him of this occurrence.
He could only wish for his wife to pull through.
[May your heart is always pure, for the light of the Great Wisdom is pure and meant to wash away all evil in this world.]
The magic circle on Hannah's heart vanished. The blue aura grew even larger and moved around chaotically like an inferno.
"Agh!!!" suffered Hannah.
She almost collapsed to the ground but she managed to pull herself back together and assumed her initial form.
[Now go! Use the power our Great Einsof has blessed you with and bring forth His light to all of His creations!]
The final magic circle on Hannah's stomach shattered.
Instead of growing even more larger, the blue aura retreated back into Hannah in an instant.
There was a brief moment of silence.
Evelyn and Bryce did not dare to say anything. It was because the unsealing process was not finished yet.
Suddenly Hannah floated to the air. Her eyes were closed and her face was so peaceful as if she was sleeping.
A quiet buzzing sound came from Hannah's stomach followed by a tiny blue light.
The buzzing sound turned louder and louder it made the dust around Hannah vibrated.
The tiny blue light on Hannah's stomach spread all over her body.
The air around the woman turned dense that Bryce, the spectator, was having trouble just being there.
The buzz turned louder and even more louder. The blue light enveloping Hannah turned even brighter it almost filled the entire hall with blue radiance.
Evelyn smiled at this sight.
Hannah suddenly opened her eyes and shouted.
"Glory to God Einsof and may His Kingdom last for all eternity!"
The buzzing sound immediately stopped and the light enveloping Hannah instantly spread out like a shockwave. Its impact rattled the door and cracked the windows.
Hannah landed back down gently and collapsed to the floor.
She was able to stay conscious.
Bryce quickly ran to his wife.
"Are you alright, my love?"
Hannah nodded, "Exhausted. Otherwise, I'm fine."
Evelyn went to her mother and placed her hand on Hannah's back. The lady smiled once more from what she sensed.
"Congratulations, mother! Even though it's just your vessel expanding and not your mana supply itself, at least now you can aspire to be an A-rank mage."
Hannah smiled and hugged Evelyn.
"Oh thank you, darling! I could not have done it without you!"
"Nonsense, mother! I only casted the spell. It was you who worked very hard and pulled through during the unsealing process."
"Our daughter's right, my love! You did very well to endure all those pain." comforted Bryce.
Hannah shook her head, rejecting their praises.
"No! As you can see, Evelyn was able to unseal her mana vessel by herself. While I needed to be assisted."
Evelyn frowned upon her mother's comment.
"What do you mean I was able to unseal my vessel by myself?"
"Well, while I was hugging you I could feel your mana vessel is already as vast as my unsealed vessel. So I thought you already done the unsealing process. Is it not the case?"
Bryce raised his eyebrows.
"Now that you mention it. I now feel the same amount of mana density between your mother and you, Evelyn. Your vessel is already of an A-rank quality, no?"
Evelyn walked away from them and grabbed a little book she previously laid near them.
"While it's true the unsealing process can be done alone unlike what we just did with mother. But I actually haven't unsealed my vessel yet."
Bryce and Hannah were shocked by this reveal.
"What?! Your vessel is already of an A-rank quality before you even unsealed it?" asked Bryce.
"But how? When you were still cursed and I was taking care of you, I remember clearly that your vessel wasn't this strong and vast. In fact, it was in a poorer quality than mine before we unsealed it." said Hannah.
"That's exactly it, mother. The curse!" replied Evelyn. "The Lich's Curse prevented my vessel from developing. Once the curse was lifted, my vessel started growing like it was supposed to and it eventually turned into this state."
Bryce and Hannah stared their daughter in awe.
"Praise Einsof… To think that you were born with this much potential…" said Bryce.
"Glory to His name… If our daughter's vessel is already this strong, how strong it will become once it's unsealed?" wondered Hannah.
Evelyn could only feel glad of their admiration to their daughter's talent. She then went to Hannah to hand her the little book.
"What is this, darling?"
"It's the Leonardo's Mana Vessel Unsealing spell. It's my full analysis after studying the spell directly from the Leonardo Grimoire." said Evelyn. "Mother, I would like you to study it so you can perform the unsealing process on me."
Hannah frowned with surprise at this request. She scanned the book.
"Darling, this spell is really complex! I'm not sure I'll be able to learn it. Can't you perform it yourself?"
"You can do it, mother! And unfortunately I can't unseal my vessel by myself. You've seen how torturing the process is. And in my current state, I needed to use every focus I have to keep my body stable during the unsealing. Especially since it's my vessel."
"Ah, you're right! It might be even more dangerous for you." responded Hannah. "If my E-rank vessel already caused that much impact to be unsealed, how big of an impact unsealing an A-rank vessel will cause?"
"MISTRESS! SIRE!"
Suddenly the estate's butler rushed into the training hall. He looked very distressed.
"What's the matter?" asked Bryce.
The butler produced two envelopes from his blazer and presented them to the Leonardo family.
"Pardon my intrusion. But two emergency letters just arrived."
"EMERGENCY LETTERS?!" shouted Hannah.
"From whom?" asked Evelyn
Bryce looked on the envelopes and showed them to Hannah and Evelyn.
"From Duke Shaughnessy and town chief of Stonewall."
