At the start of the week, everyone was busy with their things. However, they still gathered every night to watch the television shows they were watching which were Star Trek: The Next Generation, Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: Legendary Journeys, and Avatar: The Last Air Bender.

Anton had to limit himself and the others to watching only two shows a night, which is roughly a couple of hours of their time a day since he was busy. Surprisingly, everyone agreed since they were busy as well.

His father, Nemina, and Lucas were busy managing the theater and training the employees with Colin assisting them. Most of the passengers were anxious for the opening day of the movie The Fellowship of the Ring and even his four new friends from New Drennor asked him repeatedly if they could watch the movie in advance.

Anton had to reiterate that he did not have time during the day since he was busy with “wizardly” things and was glad that his new friends seemed to understand and stopped pestering him about it. He was amused though when Walter told him that there were several deep discussions and theories about the film among the young people on the ship like what kind of creatures and species living in that world. What was the magic system and several more things.

That meant that Anna and the others including Frederick and even Devon became sought after since they had seen the films several times and they even boasted that they had seen all of the Lord of the Rings movies. Anton did warn everyone to avoid revealing spoilers so the audience would be more excited and based on Anna and the other’s expressions, they definitely revealed a lot of spoilers already.

Looking at the smug faces of Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip, Anton knew that they probably knew the story of the movies inside and out already from his friends and families but he just shrugged and advised them that it would have been much more enjoyable if they watch the movie without knowing anything.

Anna and Frederick were still learning a lot about their magic from the magic classes that were being held on the ship. The price of the magic courses was steep but they could afford it.

Anton had not told them about the effect of his aura when it came to spell casting since he knew that once they knew, he would have to spend some time each day to assist them in their magic practice and that would cut in his own time so he decided to do it once he reached the maximum level of his necromancer character.

During that week, Anton saw Lucas and Nemina's severe admonishments to Devon to the point that the man wasn’t allowed to be out of sight of Lucas. Devon became knee-deep with the ladies of the night on the Amelia and even gambled all his savings in the casinos that Lucas and Neiman had to pay for his debt. Anton even had to heal Lucas’s son of sexually transmitted disease several times.

Because of that, the girls in the family began looking at him in disdain. At first, Anton thought that Devon would get together with one of the twin sisters but because of his bad reputation, there was little chance of that happening anymore.

Lucas assigned Devon as Anders’s personal guard and that meant that he was not allowed to be away from Anton’s father anytime. During his break, Lucas would spend several hours training Devon and he saw the man filled with bruises after their training. When Anton learned that Lucas would begin training Devon, he had the idea of learning martial arts from the man but decided against it when he saw how many bruises Devon sported after one of their training sessions.

Besides, Anton was a spell caster and should focus on magic and when it was time for him to level up his melee characters, he would have the physical skills of a warrior.

Anton had been strictly adhering to his self-imposed schedule of entering his Diablo II system at least eight hours a day and finally reached the necromancer’s maximum level around Thursday which was the day before the first showing of the Fellowship of the Ring film. He was so happy since he was able to reach this goal.

He immediately created a paladin character since there was still a tiny worry that he would not be able to create a melee character. He successfully created the said character but he did not start leveling up. Since the passengers’ anticipation for the movie was so great, Anton decided to join his family in managing the theater to make sure that there were no hiccups that would occur.

Regarding his enchantment project, Anton was still focused on creating an item that would contain the Frost Armor spell. He had progress but it would probably take a week or two more before he was successful.

One of the best things that Anton had received was the pearl from the dolphins and whales. It made his nights truly restful and when he told everyone about it, Anna clamored to experience it but Anders said that the pearl was a gift from Anton’s sea friends so thankfully, Anna did not pester him about borrowing the pearl anymore.

He did advise everyone that he was about to complete his latest enchantment which would contain a defensive spell called Frost Armor and told them its effect so he told them to select an accessory like an amulet, an earring, a ring, or a bracelet that they wanted to use for the enchantment and everyone scrambled to get their favorite accessory which resulted in the girls wanting to shop for accessories and surprisingly, Nemina was included in that.

Anders reminded everyone that they had several accessories that they hadn’t sold yet.

“I don’t want them! They’re all antiques. I want something pretty and new,” Anna said so Anders had to give in and allow everyone to shop for the jewelry they wanted to use for the Frost Armor enchantment.

Anders told Anton that he declined Antonia’s suggestion to get back the overcharge that Captain Robertson charged them for the suite since because of the theater, they would be able to recoup their losses anyway. The downside of that was that the captain would not have any good relationship with Anton and his family anymore. The captain did take advantage of their family’s desperation to leave Rendindura and all knew that some actions would have consequences.

Anton didn’t care about the captain anymore so he just shrugged off the situation.

When Friday arrived, there was this feverish aura in the air coming from the passengers who wanted to watch the Fellowship of the Ring movie. Anders told Anton that due to the circumstances, they would show the movie from Friday till Tuesday, and Wednesday and Thursday would be the rest days. It wouldn’t be a problem anymore since they already had several employees assisting them in managing the theater.

The theater opened at nine in the morning which was early in Anton’s opinion but all of the seats were filled and VIP seats were occupied by the important people from the ship. Anton wondered if one of the people who was accompanying the captain was the Invincible wizard in the Amelia.

Anton’s four friends from New Drennor were seated with them in the seats assigned for their family and soon the movie started.
