Taking in the sight in front of him, Blunt felt a sense of warmth and safety that he had never felt before from his own apartment. The house that his parents bought when he was about three years old is still the same as it ever did.
Two floors, four bedrooms, and a garage. A house that he once felt was a prison, now it looked more like a paradise for the high heaven according to him. It is but a very ordinary house.
“Blunt, while we are at the hospital why were you so hostile towards the doctors and nurses?” Papa Key is not a fan of ungrateful people, especially if that person is his own son.
Even though he was raised in a poor family, Papa Key is brought up with virtues and discipline that made him sees things in black and white. If someone help me repaid that ten times over, if that person harm me repaid that person ten times over using legal means.
“Yea Blunt did we raise you as the kind of person that is ungrateful towards their helper!?” Mama Key added when she got out of the car. Then she briskly walked up to the front door and unlock it. His mother is no different, she was also raised in a very disciplined environment.
“Sigh, mom, dad...look I know that you went into debt because of me ok? How can I NOT be angry?” Walking towards the familiar front steps, Blunt can only shrug his shoulders and looked sadly at his parents.
The two froze at the front door and slowly turn back to looked apprehensively at Blunt. They did their best to hide the matter because the couple did not wish to rely on others. Their hands and feet are still usable after all. So not only are Blunts grandparent are in the dark even their close friends are also, unless...
Knowing what is on their mind, Blunt quickly stated “I heard it from uncle when he visit you guys so, yea, that.”
Blunt then quickly go and pulled both his parents into the house and set them on the familiar couch that he use to always sat on as a kid to watch cartoons, before they could ask anymore questions.
Blunt scan around his house and it made his heart twist to an unimaginable degree. There is no longer a TV, the prized grandpa-clock was also gone and other valuable utilities. As a matter of fact he did not feel air conditioning in the house; it is easily 98 degrees.
Seeing the look on their son’s face the couple stayed silence since he already know the reason, why hide it. It’ll only causes more problems if things like this is hidden.
“Can you tell me how long was it that I was unconscious?” It has been a long time due to the fact that his parents house and they looked worse than when he sees them about a week before he went to the dock.
“I’ll go get the food ready…” Mama Key silently stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare food.
Folding his arms Papa Key answered, “Counting today, that makes it 3 months since the beginning of your coma.”
Blunt nodded his head in understanding. With the knowledge that is now in his head it was simple to figure out why he was out for so long, it was due to the remodel of his body.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Complete control and knowledge on all elements is not something that mortals can handle with their feeble existence. However, Blunt now have just that, the thing that he wished for.
Others like Blunt would have their wish granted in full, but the light that gathered around Blunt at that time was not up to par, there was a defect to his ‘awakening’.
The defect is in his control. When the world remake his body using the light gathered around him, it compressed all the affinity and knowledge into his tiny body. But there was not enough light to support complete control, thus it gave him something that have existed in other universes, a body that absorbs the natural elements to use it.
Him staying in water for a night and come up completely healthy and the only element that he can control a bit of, is due to this new body. Furthermore, the reconstruct of an entire body took longer than he have thought, he guessed that it would roughly be a month the most using his new-found intelligence, but reality says otherwise.
Shaking his head helplessly, Blunt smile weakly. The newfound intellect is all but theories and understanding, there are none that give him concrete facts, only if he experience it for himself.
“Mom! Please come join us, I have something important to say to you both.” Making up his mind, Blunt decided that he will continue the goal he set for himself, be a teacher that teaches magic. Even if his defect hinders his progress, he will strive to push forward because seeing the haggard looks of his parents he felt that he is a person that bite the hand that feed him.
“Alright give me a sec…” Finishing her business in the kitchen, Mama Key bring a tray with a teapot and three cups with her to the living room, setting them down on the table in the middle.
“Alright what is it?”
“You better give me a good reason you were at the dock.” Papa Key added.
“Okay so it’s like this…” Telling his parents what happened from the beginning to the end.
Mama Key: “...”
Papa Key: “so your telling me all this happened because that girlfriend of yours dumped you?” His tone seems calm but there were hidden unmasked rage. Embarrassed Blunt can only nod his head.
“But! Look! I really do have powers now.” To his blankly staring mom and enraged dad, Blunt open his hand and quickly conjure the magic circle to condense the water vapor surrounding his hand.
Using his vastly superior mind and knowledge, drawing the magic circle using the surrounding mana was a joke, thus he finish it quickly.
A aqua blue circle with weird indecipherable patterns and symbols float above his hand. There is big middle circle that spin counter-clockwise while the circle surrounding it spin clockwise.
Clenching his hand, Blunt shatter the circle in his hand and visible water smoke starts to condense on his hand into a single droplet of water that is not larger than a tear drop.
This made Blunt extremely embarrassed because the making and summoning of that one droplet of water took him roughly a minute. He knew for a fact it shouldn’t be that slow but he was helpless in that regard, he only absorb a teardrop amount of water essence.
However his parents are a completely different story, they sat staring dumbfounded at that one floating droplet of water as if they saw the first creation of life.
