BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - Back Home II
As I walked in the house with my father to my side, I simply looked around as if this was the first time I had walked within this home. I looked at everything with a sign of longing and nostalgia as many good and bad memories flashed within my eyes.
Completely ignoring the annoyed shouts and complaints coming for outside, I walked into the living room where the women were having a discussion, while the twins sat the the side.
"yo" I said, breaking up their conversation and making them all looked at me with a weird look.
"Stop looking at me like that, it\'s creepy" I replied to their gazes with a small snarky comment that made Aroura chuckle and the other two smile. I still don\'t know what I had done wrong to Zarch and Zack, but from my 360 degree vision, I could see they were staring at me with very hateful eyes. It was a bit like how a mother wolf would look at someone who touched her cubs.
"Pany! It\'s been so long! I\'m so happy to see you!" Aroura screamed like a high school girl in happiness and excitement. She looked jubilant as she hugged me tight enough to pop the head of someone that was the same age as me.
I refrained from hugging my mother due to her slightly bloated belly what was due to her pregnancy.
I remember all the things my mother had done, and I was quite angry about half of the crao she did do, but honestly, I couldn\'t really stay mad at her. While some might call be stupid or easily manipulated, I don\'t think I can hate her for doing everything she did.
After the whole family taking part in a hug, some willingly while others forced, we sat down and started to talk about the time we were away from each other. Mid way through, my mother talked about telling Eliana to come to our home. When she mentioned the name of Elaina, I couldn\'t help but shudder a little at the fact that I had previously punched her unconscious, but then she couldn\'t really complain because we had something much more serious on our hands.
From the conversation with my grandma before, and my family now, I knew that both Rak and Gen did not say anything about my awakening, probably thinking it is for the best if I tell my family on my own. My grandma also did not say anything about my awakening from what I could tell, but the twins definitely did.
"Uhm, so Pany. I heard you awakened a few months ago when you were out with Argenta and your tutor. There is no change in your hair, and you are not showing us your eyes for some reason, so I can\'t really tell what you have.
Due to my amazing memory, I looked back at all the different spells I used, just to see that I used both fire, air and earth. I didn\'t actually use air directly, more as a fuel for my fire. In this world, even if you don\'t an affinity towards a certain element, it does not stop you from using it. The problem however comes when using anything above the simple magic or basic spells, because anything intermediate and onwards needs you to have an certain affinity of mana to use.
I did not really have this problem since I could directly communicate and control every elemental particle that was within my body at the time, and now that my mana is a form of pre-matured divine mana, I could transfer the mana through my body and change it to any affinity. I still did not have enough mana control to use Divine mana directly like I did during my awakening, or even use it outside my body other than my eyes . The only thing I could do was to make my divine mana into another affinity, which usually creates really dense mana with hints of divinity.
"Earth and Fire" I replied with a sigh.
Everyone but my grandma seemed kind of shocked. Most of my family were shocked because normally the affinity of a person is based on their family and what is passed down. Apparently my grandfather was also had a water affinity, which created a rare affinity of ice within my mother. Usually, people get affinities within the the four elements when they awaken, but sometimes when they have two affinities, they can merge together and create one affinity. My mom had awakened with the Ice affinity from the start, showing that her mana capacity and and control were going to be exceptional.
Even my father, who was probably at the peak of the Supreme Warrior stage, if he hasn\'t already become a knight.
"Earth and Fire?" Exclaimed Aroura with a confused face while looking at her mother. Seeing that, I couldn\'t help but smile.
My grandma looked at me weirdly when I didn\'t say light. She knew I had the light affinity, and she saw that my eyes were still golden not any other colour, but she did not say anything.
"Show us your eyes." snapped my father after thinking for a bit. He simply could not believe that his own daughter would have gotten another affinity other than the one his and his wife\'s. It\'s not like it was impossible for a child to have a different affinity to their parents, but it was very rare. From the look my father was giving my mother, I could already tell what he was thinking.
I let go of the suppression I put on my mind acceleration so I could think more clearly. I contemplated what I should do for a few seconds that was actually a microsecond for the others. My divine calculation came useful in battles and situations like these, where I have to make the best decision about a certain things or calculate what the best decision is in a very short amount of time.
In the end, I decided it was it was for the best if I would just show him my eyes even though there were many risks.
I started to purposely show a face of contemplation. This made my father relax his gaze and tone a little and told me everything will be fine. My mother seemed to be offended at his gaze before he had asked me to show him my eyes, making him relax a little more. He may not be at home all the time, but he was sure that his wife wouldn\'t cheat on him. Probably...
My mother\'s only care was to make our family stronger and have higher prestige within society so her children and her grandchildren could have safe and comfortable lives where they do not have to think about money or if they will have food on the table the next day, which is one of the only reasons I do not get angry at my mother no matter how much she wrongs me, because in the end, I know she is doing what she thinks is best for me and the family as a whole.
After acting like I was contemplating for a little bit, which confused everyone a little, I opened my eyes which were flaring with a bright gold. My head was instantly assaulted with so much information that I could not keep my power face while wincing a little. A pained expression fell onto my face, as the information started to shake my mind a little. Gritting my teeth, I kept my eyes open a for a bit more before shutting them again when the barrage had become too much for me to handle.
What I didn\'t know was that the moment I made eye contact with my parents and Aroura in my shaky state of mind, an immense amount of pressure pressed down on their soul. It wasn\'t to the level they couldn\'t handle it, but it clearly was something that put a slight burden on them. Feeling the Divine hue emanating from my eyes, every single one of them felt a temptation to straighten their backs and sit up straight within my presence.
When I closed my eyes, they could not help but take a sincere sigh of relief unconsciously. Even someone like my mother who was much stronger than my grandma from what I could tell, felt burdened by the pressure given off from something as godly as divine mana.
"So, I\'m guessing leaving your eyes open hurt you, right?" Asked my father with a contemplating expression.
"yeah, a little" I replied with another sigh.
Suddenly, my mother started to tear up with an expression of... Happiness? \'What the hell?\' I thought while staring at her weirdly. This was not normal, and I\'m pretty sure what I had just showed them was more of a curse than something to be happy about.
"I can\'t believe my own daughter has an enhanced constitution" stated my father between breaths. He had the biggest smile I had ever seen in this life. I didn\'t know what an \'Enhanced constitution\' was but I did not ask, because Aroura beat me to the question.
With a curious glint in her eyes, she asked "What is an enhanced constitution, and why do both you look happier than you did when I graduated?" with a fake \'Humph\' as if she was angry.
This time even my grandma was shocked at the conclusion my parents made, as she stated "You have no way to make sure that she has an \'enhanced constitution\'. Don\'t get your hopes up too high, or you might end up disappointed." and to that, both of them nodded with a serious expression.
Before Aroura could complain about being ignored however, my father answered her questions while wiping his tears of joy from his eyes. My father was not one to tear up, which meant this must have been something very good to get this kind of reaction from him.
From behind me, the twins looked more pissed off then curious, almost felt like they were going to attack me any minute now.
\'Always so violent\' I snorted proudly. I was more than aware that I have killed more people and intelligent beings than they can dream of. It would take them a a few years before they could kill the same amount of humans as I did in the last 6 weeks than they could in the the next 5 years. I wont have to deal with them for quite a while due to the fact they are going to the academy in the next few months.
Aroura always came back every week when she went to the academy, but the academy they were going to was one that specialised in water and ice magic. They might not have an affinity towards ice magic, but their affinity to water is enough to get them into the academy.
"The enhanced constitution is something someone is born with, which is then activated when they awaken. These constitutions can go from the enhancing senses to giving a person a certain physique.. Examples are Supreme Vision, Smell, Hearing and even touch. Taste goes in with scent so there is not constitution for that" My father stated, breaking me out of my thoughts
