NOVEL WEB Chapter 19: Taking On A Master
When we stepped out of the clothing store the wanna be Gandalf stopped us once again. It seemed he was waiting for us to come out of the store. But as soon as he opened his mouth I felt a rather large headache coming on. "My little disciple, how about your master brings you to have some food?"
"Umm, Great Magus something or another, I already rejected you because you are the master of that thing over there who uses her status to cause other people problems." I guess Alissa and Able found my words to be funny since the both of them broke out into a laugh once they exited my mouth.
"Rei, it's Great Magus Felix." Able kindly reminded me as he tried to stifle his laughter.
"Ahh, yeah, that's it. Umm Great Magus Felix." My gaze wandered over to Angelina who was staring daggers at me but it seemed she did not dare say a word to me with Felix standing there. A thought came to my mind. I gave Angelina a sly smile as I turned to Felix and said: "I can be your disciple, but… You have to dump that over there first."
"Pfft!" Alissa lost it again. I was really starting to wonder if she was truly the female lead of Magical Love or not. Maybe she was the twin sister of the female lead and the real female lead caught a cold?
To be honest this was a bitch move but it was more of a way to punish Angelina for being so arrogant about her status. Also was a way to test Felix to see if he was truly worth being a master of anyone.
"This…." Felix seemed a little troubled by my words but finally, he shook his head as he said: "Although she is arrogant and out of control sometimes, she is still my disciple no matter what. I guess our paths were not meant to be crossed in such a way. I do apologize for what happened today."
Seeing Felix give me a bow I nodded my head in approval. "Great Magus Felix gives up too easily. But your loyalty to your disciple is real. I apologize for my suggestion just now. If you do not mind me becoming a magic knight in the future I do not mind becoming your disciple." I decided this for a reason. He was the best Magician in all of Selinicia, he was the best teacher one could have when it came to magic.
Felix looked at me in a daze before a big smile formed on his old face. He let out a shout and clapped his hands together. "Haha! My disciple is good! I would never have thought that you have tested me like this. Look, even your junior sister is in shock from what happened just now."
Angelina was puzzled by Felix's words. "Master why am I the junior? Shouldn't I be the senior?"
"Hmmm? You're just a disciple while she is my personal disciple. She has a higher status thank you." Felix answered causing Angelina to be even more confused.
"Personal disciple? What is that?" But her question fell on deaf ears because it seemed Felix was too busy asking me questions to care about what Angelina was saying.
Seeing as the old man was going to be bothersome I had no choice but to politely decline his invitation to go out to eat. "Master, right now I am in the middle of getting things needed to settle in at the Ronstine Estate, so I will need to reschedule our meal for another time. If you wish to find me you can go to the Ronstine Estate. "
"Ronstine? Hmmm, why would you go there?" Felix asked.
A light blush came to my cheeks as I said: "Able is my fiance and I will be living at his house from now on." I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Able's face lit up when I said I was his fiancee. Although I know this might end tragically with me being hurt I decided to see things through and hope that just maybe, things would work out. I mean I couldn't deny the fact that I have liked Able since playing Magical Love. Now that I am his fiancee I can at least act like it for as long as it lasts, right? It may just be my wishful thinking but I hopped to maybe experience what love was like with the one person I like, now that he was real and in front of me and not on some game screen.
"I see… Able Ronstine… Ahh, yes, you're the young man who was praised by the magic knight's golden wings squad leader for having high aptitude." Felix walked right over to Able and put his hands on his shoulders looking deeply into Able's eyes. Before smiling brightly. "A fine youngman! But if you hurt my dear disciple, I will blow a new hole in your bottom do you understand?"
I could tell Able did not know how to answer that comment at all. Be he did answer in a serious tone. "Great Magus Felix, do not worry. I will make sure Rei has a life full of happiness and is able to achieve all her dreams. I will make sure to take very good care of her."
Hearing Able's words made my heart skip a beat. I could only hope his words would stay true even in the future. "Great Magus Felix if Able can't make Rei happy I will! Because the first sign of weakness I will snatch her away!" And there goes the female lead saying weird things again. She even patted her chest as if it was a sure thing. I will just pretend I didn't hear or see anything.
