Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 43: Socialize

( Hours Later. )

The First Class that only gives the student a brief orientation about the academy has ended and it is time for the students to go home for the academy has no other schedule for the new entry students at that time.

As the bell rings, Donovan prepares himself for he still thinks about what happened earlier including his mother that suddenly thinks again after focusing himself on the 'test' which turns out to not be as difficult as he thought it was.

"( Thank goodness the test wasn't that hard!!! )" Donovan says while he is grateful to now enter the Special Class or the S-Class which is a good thing as it means that Donovan now is enrolled in an elite class.

While being grateful to himself, Carlos suddenly approached him as he wants Donovan to join him in the canteen which Donovan then agreed for he also believes that he needs to socialize in his academy.

"( I need to be more sociable in this academy... )"

"( After all, even though I am a strong boy and had the ability to control the Black Shadows, I still need the help of others to increase my power growth.... )" Donovan thinks to himself while following Carlos to the Canteen.

There, Donovan and Carlos decide to meet with some other kids there, especially the ones in the S-Class as he hoped to know more about them. As they went to meet some of the S-Class students, Donovan then decide to converse with two of them whom he found to be reminiscent of his parents named Goriath Rockborn and Aero Skyscream.

Goriath Rockborn, is a Rock Magic user which means his basic element is Earth just like Ground Magic that Donovan's Mother Irina has. The difference between them is Irina's Ground Magic is a Tier V magic whilst Goriath's Rock magic only gets him at Tier III. Despite the gaps and differences even though their magic comes from the same elemental source, Goriath's Rock Magic is quietly useful especially since he shows Donovan (during their conversation) that he is already able to bend any available rock in the area, even the tiniest rock which he can gather and craft into a bigger and better one.

As Goriath shows Donovan his ability, on the other hand, Aero laughs for Goriath's magic use is too basic and raw as he teases him for having low creativity over its use which of course made Goriath angry.

" Of course, I can only do my magic like that, you fool!!!!! "

" Earth Magic is meant to be strong and stable, uneasy to break and persistent!!!!! "

" So don't expect it to be had many variations, you Sky Magic cunt!!!!! " Goriath says to Aero which made him angry.

" What did you say Rockhead!!!!? " Aero says while increasing the volume of his voice which makes Donovan feel uneasy as Aero's voice felt different.

"( His voice...., during his shout, I can feel the sound is different.... )" Donovan says to himself which he immediately understands why since the System shows him.

< Impaired Effect Afflicted >

< Cause: User is being afflicted with magic that can make the User's ear go impaired. >

"( I see...., so his Sky Magic's branch is Sound Magic huh!!!? )"

"( No wonder his voice is so loud!!!! )" Donovan shouts in his mind which he can't take it anymore as he tells Aero to lower his voice and deactivates his magic so he can hear freely again.

After Donovan shouted at him, Aero then says that he is sorry not because of Donovan's shout but because all of the people present there are looking at him menacingly for he had disturbed everyone there with his goddamn loud voice.

As he says sorry, Donovan then thinks to himself as the System shows that Aero is a Tier IV Magic User with his Sound Magic which is a great feat and kinda explains why his magic-imbued voice can have so much effect, especially to a high-level person like Donovan.

"( The last time I checked my level is at Level 50 and this Level 41 guy's magic had already made my ear impaired. )" Donovan says as he recognizes Aero's capabilities which is a special one, considering his magic branch is a rare magic branch for Sky Magic.

"( Maybe I should ask dad more about this since he's an Air Magic user. )" Donovan says while suddenly thinking about his mother's condition as he wonders if she had succeeded in giving birth to his sister.

"( For weeks they have been so separated from me as if they want me to seclude myself from their concerns regarding my sister's birth. )"

"( I know for sure they didn't want to make me worried but seeing them so busy and constantly trying to make me just focus on my academy life but.... )" Donovan thinks to himself, ignoring the two of his newly introduced friends who were busy debating of their magic and their mastery over it while Donovan looks below him to see his own shadow, waiting for Tania to give him the result.

"( How could I socialize and have fun in the academy while my mind is constantly worried about mom...? )" Donovan says to himself.

"( Tania, I hope you bring me the results soon.... )"

"( And I hope it is a good one... )" Donovan says while still looking at his shadow.

As he looks at his Shadow, Donovan begins to space out while his 'friends' that he converses with are busy showing their prowess one to another, for what he cares about now is the 'good' results that he hoped Tania will bring.

"( O my ... what makes her so long to report? )" Donovan asks as minutes later the System informs him that Tania has returned to his shadow and gives the news, the 'good' news about his mother Irina that has successfully given birth to his sister.

"( So where is my mother now? )" Donovan asks Tania saying that she is already been taken care of inside a Healing Tank in order to heal her body after her difficult giving birth operation process.

"( Thank goodness... )" Donovan thinks and smirks which gets the glance from Aero who sees him smiling as he asks what is going on which made Donovan feel awkward as he tells them that everything is alright.

As Donovan says that, he doesn't know that he was being watched by someone far away as the watcher then looks at him.

" There he is brother... "

" The boy that wounds me... " the watcher says in the aisle as she talks to her brother as he came behind the watcher.
