Supreme Magus novel Chapter 1264

Chapter 1264 - Family Business (Part 2)

’Laugh all you want, but I don’t remember children their age having a bright yellow mana core. I’d better teach them some magic before someone gets hurt.’

The only sour note was Zinya acting distant and awkward with him as if she was depressed about something.

Kamila had spent the morning in the Trawn woods with Selia, hunting. Even though she had no previous experience, all the magical training with Jirni allowed her to move even more stealthily than the huntress, who promised herself for the umpteenth time to learn magic.

"Thanks a lot. I’m a bit disappointed we didn’t get to talk much, but hunting helped me vent a lot of stress."

"Don’t be silly, I should be the one to thank you. I finally got some me time, great company, and all the prey we got. On the other hand, I’m going to kill Ryman for not crafting me any of your trinkets."

The fact that a complete beginner had caught more game than her thanks to the gap in their equipment mildly pissed Selia off. The silver lining was that Kamila already had a day job and had gifted Selia everything she had shot down with her wands.

Before lunch, while the kids were taking a bath to get rid of the mud and sweat acc.u.mulated during their games, Lith showed the rest of the family the images of his latest world tribulation, glossing over the conversation with Mogar entirely.

He needed to tell them something to explain why he had been so dejected the previous day, but he decided to follow Protector’s advice and take his time instead of ruining their happiness and his own.

"I understand that sharing the pain of those wretched souls must have been hard on you, but this is actually good news." Raaz said. "If you are right, then you’re just one tribulation away from becoming a Guardian.

"Cracked life force or not, you won’t have to die unless you decide otherwise."

"First, there’s no telling when or if a tribulation will take place. I didn’t have one in years and wouldn’t have undergone this tribulation either if not for Leegaain’s setting me up." Lith said.

"Farming lizard. Should’ve minded his own farming business." Elina swore in a family-friendly language because of the kids.

"Second, the idea of outliving everyone, Tista included, is depressing." Lith said.

"Nonsense. Becoming a Guardian seems like a job like any other. When you get tired of it, you can always quit, but I forbid you to die before I do." Elina sniffled.

"Okay, that’s enough." Lith said at his family’s odd reaction to the retelling of the tribulation.

’Without the part about Solus, Carl, and Mogar, my story is more epic than sad. On top of that, neither Mom nor Dad ever wanted me to become a Guardian. They should be worried as always, not relieved.’ He thought.

"First, Zinya gave me the cold shoulder this morning, and now Mom cries for a mission that’s comical if compared to Kulah or Balkor. What’s going on here?" Lith looked around the room, noticing embarrassed gazes.

Tista and Solus didn’t miss how no one dared meet the eyes of the just returned siblings.

"Either you tell him or I will." Kamila’s voice, while she talked to Elina, sounded livid like Lith had never heard her before. "You wanted time and I gave you time, but I’m not going to keep this any longer."

’It would explain why Kamila is so angry and why Zinya is so embarrassed, but not why Mom acts so weird.’ He thought.

’What the heck are they talking about?’ Tista had never heard anything about Kamila’s parents so the matter confused her quite a bit.
