As the ship’s weather wizard had said, the storm lasted for two more days and every few hours, Anton had to heal everyone of their seasickness using his aura skills. During those two days, Anton returned to the strict schedule he had made for himself, which included entering his Diablo II system for eight hours a day.

The majority of that time was leveling up his Paladin character. The rest were split between several things. One of them was to familiarize himself with the mana structure and mana pathway of his Paladin and Necromancer spells since he did reset his necromancer to have mostly curses since he couldn’t afford for anyone to know that he was not able to awaken the undead. He also didn’t forget to briefly practice the spells of his Sorceress and Druid skills amidst that schedule.

The rest were practicing his skills in enchanting items, causing him to accumulate many enchanted items in his inventory. Even though the family planned to switch their main business in New Drennor to cinema entertainment instead of trade, Anton thought that it was still a good idea for him to gather a lot of enchanted items that they could sell at a moment’s notice and he did accumulate a lot of sculptures when they were traveling.

The good thing about his items was that they focused on lifestyle magic instead of dealing damage so he was sure that any government in any location would not give them a hard time when it came to selling the products.

The remaining one was to practice his voice and guitar expertise. Even though Anton’s excuse was for him to have a backup if wizarding wasn’t working out, the truth was he just wanted to play the guitar and sing. He had fallen in love with singing and admitted to himself that he had a good voice and would probably be able to win singing competitions if he was on Earth.

Since Anton’s Diablo II system now also had video recording capability, he decided to record himself singing some cover and like most modern people on Earth who thought of himself as having a talent, he immediately uploaded it into one of the most famous video streaming websites on Earth. He even thought of creating short video clips that he could upload on the other famous platform but it was an added work so he decided to just stick to the whole song cover.

Anton’s system was very powerful since it allowed him to have an online identity on Earth that he could use to upload his videos but to prevent future problems, he decided to make his identity online anonymous and even put a sculpture to block his face from the Globe of Browser sharing spell camera so no one could see his face.

The background setting in the video that he uploaded on the Internet was just the ship’s room and nothing was shocking there that would arouse the interest of people towards the thought that Anton was somewhere truly exotic like another world. Since his online profile was anonymous, he would not be able to monetize his videos but he didn’t need the money anyway since he was in another world. For some reason, Anton wanted to hear validations from Earthlings that he was good at singing so that he could justify that his existence on Earth would have mattered if he continued existing there but to be honest to himself, he knew that the main reason why his voice was better than before was because of the additional physical stats brought by his Diablo II system.

Since Anton had only recently uploaded videos of himself doing covers, it did not have many viewers yet so he just forgot about them once he was done uploading them.

During those two days of storm, Anton had to reiterate to everyone that he would only allow movies and shows to be watched in the suite after his mage practice which was around three or four in the afternoon to the disappointment of everyone. Because of the storm, there weren’t many entertainment facilities opened on the Amelia but he didn’t care. He wouldn’t allow his skills to become stagnant since he knew the importance of increasing his power.

Anton did manage to increase the level of his Paladin to level thirty and was happy about it. He did not have any new Paladin skill that he could show off in real life though since he was still mainly focusing on Holy Fire and Resist Fire skills and according to the system information, Holy Fire would damage everyone that was not in the party system.

During the storm, Anna and Frederick were also very happy to discover that practicing their magic so much within Anton’s aura made their progress truly faster than normal and Frederick commented that the speed at which he could memorize his spells must be the speed on how geniuses memorize theirs and that could be the reason why they were able to become very powerful at such a young age. Frederick was truly excited that everyone could see him trembling and the mage admitted that if he was using Anton’s spells all the time, there was a chance that he could reach archmage status before he was forty years old.

Anna was a talented mage and on top of Anton’s aura, the rate she progressed was beyond belief even though they had only been practicing their magic within Anton’s party system for a couple of days.

Because of the effect of the three auras on mages, Anton suddenly thought of what would happen to ordinary people who wanted to become mages but didn’t have any talent if they spent their days included in the auras while trying to memorize spells so he decided to talk to Ramona and Belinda.

During lunch, he talked to the two girls.

“Ramona, Belinda, I want to experiment on something that involves the two of you.”

Everyone at the table stopped what they were doing and saying when they heard what Anton had said.

“What can we help you with, Anton?” Ramona said and Anton was glad that the two girls started calling him by his name as he had been very insistent on that from the start.

“Since Anna and Frederick’s magical progress was truly great while they were inside my auras, I’m thinking about what would happen to regular people who were initially tested as having no talent in magic try and memorize a beginner spell to try to become mages while they were also under the influence of my auras.”

Frederick became highly excited when the mage heard Anton’s suggestion but Anders looked concerned.

“Are you sure about doing something like that, son?” Anders asked and Anton told his father that it was just an experiment and he was sure that it wouldn’t hurt Ramona and Belinda.

The two girls immediately agreed while saying who wouldn’t want to be mages.

Anders gave the two girls the funds to purchase Cantrips spell books and Frederick promised to look after the girls’ studies. Anton added Belinda and Ramona to the party system and let them stay them remained there.

When the storm ended, the family reopened the cinema. Anders and Nemina told Anton during one of their dinners that they were shocked at how capable Selena was in business. She knew how to form relationships with the important personages on the ship and was already acting as Anders’s wife. Anton knew that his father was truly smitten with the gorgeous lady and from what he could tell, Selena truly liked his father as well since she couldn’t take her eyes off his father.
