BXBX NOVEL Chapter 17 Part1: Surprising Brother
(From MC Perspective)
I received immediate response mail from Yellow River Academy welcoming my decision to join them. They also stated that they will send details a few days later regarding the Special Class. I sighed in relief reading that, "It\'s not even five minutes since I sent the confirmation message. But I didn\'t expect to get such an immediate response." I mumbled under my breath.
Then I said to my parents, "Mom, Dad. They just sent me a confirmation mail now" I showed the mail to my parents.
On the other hand, Brad and Lila. Both of them read the mail nervously. But after seeing there is no extra clause and conditions. A bright smile blossomed on their faces.
"Ha…Ha…Ha…" Father, Brad let out a chuckle.
"Vincent, now you can rest assured. Your career has been set. Just focus on increasing your knowledge about our Mage world before you graduate from the school" Father, Brad Carey said with a smile.
At this time Mom, Lila Carey shouted, "Alright, Everyone. The Discussion time is over. Now, let\'s continue our work. "Then she added, looking at her son, "Vincent, I\'m going to make your favorite dish for dinner." After saying that she went to the kitchen to prepare ingredients.
I smiled hearing my parent\'s words. Everything is good as long as they are happy. Then after saying something to my dad, I went to my room.
My room is a medium size one, I love being minimalist. I don\'t buy unnecessary things to decorate my room. I have one king size bed, a television with an inbuilt virtual system and other necessary gadgets, a small couch, cupboards, tables and chairs.
I\'m going to spend the rest of my time surfing the net until dinner, after making up my mind I lay down on my bed comfortably.
Time progressed,
At dinner time, Vincent\'s brother Brian already returned from college some time ago. Both of the parent\'s didn\'t disclose about Vincent\'s awakening when asked by Brian. While seeing his parent\'s silence Brian thought Vincent didn\'t awaken his talent and became regular. He completely misunderstood. But, Brad and Lila want to disclose news at the dining table.
On the other hand, when dinner time came I didn\'t wait for my mom to call me. Since I\'m completely famished, I decided to go by myself.
I walk downstairs to reach the dining room. As my eyes fall on the dining table. I spotted my cheap elder brother Brian. "Brian, how was your first day at college?" I enquired about his college in curiosity. I want to know whether Violet Heart College gave him any mental method.
On the other hand, Brian Carey was completely stupefied by hearing brother\'s question. "What happened to him? I thought he must have been sulking due to his failed awakening." He thought to himself.
"Brian?" I called out his name again as I sat in my chair.
Hearing his name once again. Brian answered, "Oh, My day has been good. But I hadn\'t expected there to be a lot of mages in my class."
Listening to my brother\'s words my curiosity further increased. I asked, "Hey! Can you tell me more?" And at this point of time, my father also joined us. It\'s been a long time since we had family dinner together. Usually, one of them is absent.
On the other hand, Father Brad Carey gestures to his son to continue this topic. He is also interested in hearing about his college.
Seeing his father also wanting to hear about his college, Brad smiled and continued, "Since, I have awakened Earth Elemental Power. I was placed in our class called Earth Hall. There were a total of 250 students in our class, consisting of various talent levels."
"Goodness" I was taken back. How is he going to get resources in that environment? Looks like there is going to be a dog fight. It is just one branch of mage. I can\'t imagine competition in other halls.
Then I asked, "Are the rest of the mages freshmen?"
Brian nodded his head hearing that. "Yup, we were placed in a freshman block. We will graduate after six long years of training and studies. There were also senior students in our campus and they had their own block for their training and studies." He explained with a smile.
Hearing that I couldn\'t help but nod my head in approval. On the other hand, my father didn\'t make any comments he has been hearing in silence since the beginning of the topic.
Brian confused seeing Vincent\'s reaction, "Why is he so eager to hear about my college?" He thought to himself.
At this time, Mom Lila brought the dinner to the table. Then the family of four began to eat dinner.
…
While Vincent and his family are having a peaceful dinner together. On the other hand, a sinister plan is being hatched by the Headmaster of the Little Star Gate High School, Collins Sanders. On records, he hasn\'t joined any factions officially. But behind the scenes he is one of the henchmen of the Dark League Faction.
The Dark League Faction that he has been part of is the only branch office operating in the country. He is also the one who sent Intel to his organization about Vincent\'s awakening. The reason for his action is that Vincent joins Dark League. He will get a good share of the commission.
But all of this good happening was related to Vincent. If he didn\'t join. Then it will cost him a good deal of opportunity. So, Collins Sanders has been hatching a backup plan to brainwash him. He knew about Vincent\'s activities in school before awakening.
His belief of Vincent was naive, humble and cowardly kid. So he thought if Vincent selects another organization. He can brainwash him during his remaining time in school. After all Dark League is an underworld organization. They don\'t have shackles such as policy and conditions. Majority of the Mages from Dark League were evicted from their original organization.
