The Magician Child

At that moment, the main door was pushed open, and King Agnarr rushed in with a group of guards.

To be honest, he had just been reminiscing with Queen Iduna about the old days, and he was so happy that he relaxed and ignored what was happening in the hall. 

He wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the loud noise.

"Quick, go upstairs and block them, protect His Highness!" 

At this time, Karon hadn't returned yet, but the guard team still had capable people. The vice-captain immediately began organizing the response.

"Raise the shields, two rows, block them quickly! His Highness might not make it!

The vice-captain, who was organizing the guards, saw El growing increasingly exhausted and silently cursed the situation. 

He hurriedly urged his subordinates to get in position.

Luckily, the guards were well-trained. In just a few seconds, they quickly formed the proper formation and moved forward to block.

Seeing this, El also withdrew his magic. 

To be honest, his magic was nearly drained, and he was feeling extremely weak, but he wasn't at the point of passing out just yet.

"Phew~ I'm glad you're alright! I'm so glad you're okay!" 

Queen Iduna walked in from the door. 

She saw that the guards had saved Elijah and quickly rushed over to check on him, worried that something might still be wrong.

"Mom, I'm really fine, see?" 

El said as he spun around. He felt the warmth of her care, and it made him feel really happy. To be honest, he was beginning to really like this family more and more.

"I'm relieved to hear that, as long as you're okay." 

Seeing that Elijah really didn't have any serious injuries, aside from looking a bit pale, Queen Iduna felt relieved and was about to go check on Elsa and Anna.

"Wait, leave Elsa to me!" 

El noticed Queen Iduna's intention and quickly spoke up.

"Oh~"

Queen Iduna looked at him, giving a knowing "oh" in response.

"Okay, go ahead." 

She said, not giving him a chance to say anything more before she directly went to check on Anna.

"What the heck!" 

He helplessly rubbed his forehead. He had only felt some magical fluctuations near Elsa and didn't want Queen Iduna to get hurt, but somehow she was thinking about other things.

By the way, it seemed like his adoptive mother really wanted him to marry her daughter.

He shook his head to stop thinking so much, then looked ahead. 

The guards finally blocked the magic, but all the shields were frozen, and the frost injured a few of the guards.

He squinted his eyes. 

'Is this the power of Elsa's magic? It's really strong!'

He then walked towards her. 

As soon as he got close, El noticed many snowflakes around the unconscious Elsa and could feel some magic energy too.

[Good evening, host!]

Then, a pleasant female voice echoed.

"Who?" 

Elijah, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard the voice.

[Right here!]

'You are...? You're... the system?'

El finally understood that the voice wasn't coming from beside him but from inside his mind.

'Finally...' 

El was almost moved to tears.

[Yes! Host, I have awoken.]

Then, the pleasant female voice echoed again.

'I've finally waited for you! But... your voice?'

He was a bit puzzled.

[That's right. After I fell into slumber seven years ago, I've been upgrading the system. Now that I'm fully upgraded and you've triggered the main plot, I've awakened!] 

The system replied inside his mind.

'Is that so? An upgrade? Or was it because I actively participated in the main plot?'

He nodded thoughtfully. 

As expected, it was the main plot that could awaken the system. Who knew when it would have happened if he had just waited around?

[Yes! I absorbed the violent ice magic from your body back then, which not only helped change your physical condition but also contributed to upgrading the system during my slumber.]

The system explained.

'Oh! So that's how it is. I just have one question—has it all been used up? Is there anything left that you could return to me?'

He nodded and asked what was on his mind. 

To be honest, whether from sensing Elsa's magical fluctuations or blocking Elsa's uncontrolled magic earlier, El really wanted to have that kind of power. 

However, he didn't have the chance, especially since the system was dormant.

But now things were different... The system had awakened, and El quickly asked.

[That's fine! But... you have to give me a name.]

'A name, huh?'

He immediately knew he couldn't just call it a system since it had consciousness.

'Then I'll call you Joi!'

He didn't think much about it and gave the system a name since he liked Ana de Armas in Blade Runner 2049.

[Alright! From now on, I'll be called Joi. I like that name!]

The system's female voice sounded a bit happy.

[Now, please, Host, go ahead and claim your beginner gift pack!]

'Beginner Gift Pack?! Where is it?'

He rubbed his hands in excitement. Finally, after all these years, he could finally enjoy the treatment of a protagonist in a story.

[Master, just close your eyes and feel for it.] 

Joi answered his question.

'Alright!'

He followed Joi's instructions.

Sure enough, El immediately felt something inside his body, as if something was guiding him.

To be honest, he had been eagerly waiting for the system to awaken, and now it had finally happened.

He eagerly began to feel the power within him, paying close attention, and saw the panel.

On the system panel, the following appeared:

[Name: Elijah William]

[Age: 7 years old]

[Congratulations, Host, You've successfully changed Aisha and Anna's tragic childhood.]

Quest: Save Anna (Completed)

Reward: One Beginner Gift Pack.]

Seeing the line of text in front of him, El couldn't help but twitch. 

The moment he had been waiting for had finally come for so many years, and it was finally happening. 

Seeing that the Beginner Gift Pack was the reward because he had changed Elsa and Anna's tragic childhoods only confirmed his previous suspicions.

'Alright, Joi, I'm going to claim the Beginner Gift Pack now!'

He decided to stop thinking about it and just claim it already.

[Okay!]
