Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 255: Robert (3)

"Dad!!! Look at this!!"

"Hmm?"

"I can use magic!!!"

"You can?"

Years passed like that.

Richard grew up fast, and he was already over 10 years old.

"Look! Fireball!"

Then, flames appeared in Richard's hand.

Robert's eyes widened.

It was rare for a 10-year-old to use magic.

Moreover, Robert had never taught Richard any magic.

"How did you learn magic?"

"I learned from a book on Dad's desk!"

"Desk?"

Magic learned on his own.

Robert remembered his own childhood.

He too had learned magic on his own.

Seeing that Robert didn't say anything, Richard's expression soured.

He had touched Dad's desk without permission.

"That... touching Dad's desk was..."

Just as Richard was about to apologize to Robert,

"Richard, you're a genius!"

Robert smiled brightly and ruffled Richard's hair.

Richard beamed at Robert's praise.

"Yeah! I'm a genius!"

"But still, you shouldn't touch Dad's desk carelessly. There are many dangerous things."

"Okay! I understand!"

With that, Robert stood up.

It was time for Richard to go to bed.

Richard lay in bed, covered himself with a blanket, and spoke.

"Dad, when I grow up, I want to be your apprentice."

"Apprentice?"

"Yeah! I want to be a wizard like you."

"I don't think that's a very good idea..."

The magic Robert used was dark magic.

The perception of dark magic wasn't very good among the public.

Even though Levian did a lot to change that perception, it couldn't change overnight.

"I'm going to be a wizard like Dad!"

"......Let's talk about that later."

For now, Robert dodged the topic.

'He's still young. Hopefully, he'll change his mind later.'

"Now go to sleep."

"Okay, Dad, sleep well too."

Robert then put Richard to sleep and walked down to the basement of the mansion.

"It's almost finished."

Research on resurrection magic.

The research was nearing completion.

In fact, the research on the magic itself was finished, but there was a lack of mana to be infused.

"How much mana stone is needed..."

No matter how expensive the mana stone inserted, the magic did not activate.

The magic just greedily consumed the mana stones without any change.
