Chapter 38 Amanda’s Reaction
?The tigers that had followed started running around as they got there, occasionally glancing at the pair of harpies in the sky as if to lower them down.
Whoosh!
Arthur threw the iron stick in his hand up and it fell in the middle of the meadow, slightly stuck into the ground so that it stood on the ground.
Even though Amanda had seen Arthur's martial skills, she still opened her mouth at the power of his throws. She tried to calculate the distance between Arthur's position and where the iron stick was now.
'80 meters.' Her eyes opened wide. Her gaze on Arthur became strange, she seemed to be starting to doubt Arthur's strength.
Then, the tigers and eagles moved closer to the iron stick, gathering around it.
At the same time, Arthur walked towards them, stopping fifteen meters from them. He didn't do anything right away, but looked at Amanda who was beside him.
"What?" She asked doubtfully because Arthur's expression looked very serious.
"What I'm about to do might break your mentality or something, so you can just close your eyes," Arthur told her. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Why should I close my eyes?" The woman forced a slight smile, something that shouldn't happen unless she was feeling tense.
And she didn't know why she could feel tense in front of a student the same age as her little sister.
It wasn't actually because she had some sort of problem, but the influence of Arthur's currently active Spiritual Core was high, something that was new today as he had never activated it to its full potential. When he used his magic in front of his aunt and Carla or when he fought Rock and the others, his Spiritual Core only activated slightly. It didn't reach the point of emitting special radiation that if exposed to an ordinary human, they would feel tense or have their heart flutter.
Arthur didn't give Amanda an answer, he asked only for formality. With her personality, it was impossible for her to turn a blind eye. He himself didn't mind her seeing him, which was why he didn't forbid her from following him.
At first, he had planned to show magic to her in hopes that she would cooperate with him. It's just that, due to various reasons, they became friends without him showing any magic, something he thought was better because it could be said to be purer.
But, of course, he didn't mind if she found out that he was a magus, just like her sister, Bella. This is their right because they will be the ones who will help him.
While Amanda was silent, he knelt down. His right palm touched the ground while his eyes were closed.
Amanda who was still wondering what he wanted to do suddenly took a step back, almost jumping when she saw a faint white light emitting from his body.
"A-Arth…" She wanted to call out but stopped. Her clever brain made her quickly jump to conclusions so she knew calling out to him might annoy him.
Right after that, the iron stick stuck in front suddenly shook. Light gathered above it, similar to the light on Arthur's body but mixed with streaks of brown and green, similar to the colors of earth and grass.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The light suddenly split into four, each of which then flew to each of the tigers, entering their foreheads.
They sat down afterward, closing their eyes and looking to concentrate, something that should not happen to a tiger.
Arthur still didn't move. After the first light disappeared, a new light appeared. This time, it simply split into two, each of which entered the heads of the harpies.
Only after that did Arthur open his eyes.
Phew! 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
He took a deep breath, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
What he was doing was nothing more than sending information containing some spells to the animals.
They couldn't read, so he could only send those spells to their heads directly.
This could be easy and could be difficult for a magus at his level, depending on the situation.
The main difficulty is to avoid damaging the brain that is receiving the information. Therefore, the more intelligent the living being, the more difficult it would be due to their complicated brains. Even for those animals, he had to expend a lot of strength plus mix his strength with the stored energy in the soil and the roots of the grass. They were pure, plus healthful, containing various things that could repair damage to the body's cells, so mixing his own energy with theirs would increase the chances of success.
So far, nothing seemed wrong, but he knew he wasn't strong enough yet to send information directly into a human brain.
The large beasts didn't close their eyes for too long, they opened them, shaking their heads with slightly confused expressions.
It wouldn't be easy for them to understand either, but the spells for them had something special, like being able to lead them to understand those spells.
"Arthur..." Just a moment later, Amanda suddenly called out to him.
Staring at her, Arthur saw that she had calmed down quite a bit, looking like she had just taken a deep breath.
As their gazes met, she said, "I didn't expect you to be a cultivator."
"Cultivator?" Arthur was stunned at her words, rolling his eyes with a strange expression.
"Where did you get the merit law for cultivating, did you accidentally get an ancient ring like in those novels?" Amanda asked while Arthur was still stunned.
It just so happened that cultivation was a popular genre now, causing people to think more often than not that spiritual things were powers generated by cultivators.
And does it exist?
Possible! However, Arthur believed that it was just another designation, the method was still the same. He thought it was just a result because some people wanted to use a different term.
"Ehmm..." Arthur finally cleared his throat, he didn't like this kind of misunderstanding. He replied, "Firstly, I'm not a cultivator, but a magus. Second, I didn't gain anything to become a magus. Third, my knowledge of magic is greater than all knowledge on earth."
