Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 812 Qualified

-----

After that battle, Luck was still alive, and we did our all to heal all his broken bones. I used a few powerful Elixirs on him, but he managed to get out of this without much of a scratch. It seemed the power he had used mimicking the Fenrir was destroying him from the inside… It is a risky power.

Nonetheless, he was completely knocked out, and slept through the entire day. We used this time to talk with the Fenrir (and heal him a bit too), while getting to know his pack and more.

”Honestly, I am amazed…” He said. ”I really thought he was a good for nothing brat with not even an ounce of talent, but I guess I was wrong.”

”You were too harsh on him.” I sighed. ”At the end, he even pushed you to your limits, didnʼt he?”

”Hmph! Of course not!” He said angrily. ”He merely made me… use a bit more of my powers.”

”But you used Magic, those claws you used were magic.” My father pointed out. ”You broke your promise. I canʼt believe you got so scared you forgot about it.”

”E-Eh?! Agh… So you did realize…” The Gray Fenrir sighed. ”That damn boy…”

”Why are you so zealous of needing him to be so strong?” Asked Aquarina. ”I just donʼt get it. I doubt Elise was as strong as you when she was recruited! I donʼt know why are you asking so much out of Luck.” She crossed her arms.

”Yeah, youʼre pretty mean.” Zack agreed.

”T-Thatʼs…” The Gray Fenrir sighed. ”Well, I guess it is fair to explain this but… I just… Elise was always a rather weak child.”

”Eh? She was weak?” I wondered. ”But wasnʼt she a hero?”

”She suffered from a weak physique, and her magic was much better than her physical strength…” Sighed Fenrir. ”Nonetheless, we loved her for what she was. And always protected her and helped her in everything we could. But that… ended making her weaker when she grew up. We made her rely on magic and the support of friends, but the moment she couldnʼt rely on such things completely… She was…”

”So youʼre saying that because she wasnʼt strong physically and relied on magic, you want her successor to be much stronger so you donʼt… lose them?” I asked.

”Thatʼs… I guess it is like that…” The Gray Fenrir felt embarrassed. ”Now that I think about it… It is rather stupid.”

”Of course it is!” My uncle reprimanded the dog. ”Youʼre asking for unreasonable things out of the kid before he could even get any power! The sooner he gets the inheritance, the better! That way he can continue growing stronger with less risk instead!”

”T-Thatʼs… correct.” Sighed the wolf. ”Oi! Stop barking at me! You donʼt have the right!” He quickly changed his voice and character. I guess he realized he was getting scolded.

”Ungh…” Luck slowly woke up. ”What is all the ruckus- Ah! Hey! The battle… D-Did I lose?!”

”Of course you did, dummy, there was no chance from the beginning.” Celeste laughed. ”But you did gave out a nice battle.”

”T-Thatʼs… I see…” Luck sighed, feeling rather heartbroken. ”So I lost… I guess I couldnʼt help it. But… I feel much stronger than before. I know it might be everyoneʼs help, and Sylphyʼs too. But… I guess this battle helped in strengthening my resolve a bit more.”

”…” The Gray Fenrir glanced at Luck; his eyes seemed to remember something very dear to him.

I wonder if he was seeing Elise through Luck…

”No, you qualified.” He said. ”I actually lost.”

”E-Eh?” Luck felt surprised.

”You forced me to use Mana, and I felt… even if for a few seconds, afraid of your strength.” Sighed the Gray Fenrir. ”I ended breaking my promise, and I used Magic. You win, Luck.”

”I-I won?!” Luck was left speechless. ”B-But thereʼs no way thatʼs possible…”

”Shut up and accept the damn thing already!” The Gray Fenrir had little patience. ”Be happy you did it, you damn brat!”

”O-Okay! Thank you very much!” Luck bowed his head.

Honestly, Luck was quite endearing sometimes.

”Well, now do as you promised and bring Luck to the inheritance!” Aquarina said. ”Also weʼre going too to see whatʼs there.”

”Tch, fine, but youʼre staying outside. The inheritance is a special place where only I and the inheritor can enter. And only I can open. Follow me. Can you walk, kid?” Asked the Gray Fenrir.

”Y-Yeah, I can walk just fine- Ugh…” Luck groaned, as he fell to his knees. ”A-Ahahah, just a bit of muscle strain…”

”Hah, youʼre such a weak brat.” Sighed the Gray Fenrir, quickly grabbing him and putting him on his back with his jaws.

”Woah?! Is this fine?!” Luck felt surprised.

”Youʼre so pathetic I canʼt help it! Now letʼs go.” The Gray Fenrir barked back. Despite how he was acting, it was as clear as water that he had grown fond of our beast boy.

We walked across the vast and beautiful forests, until we arrived at rather surprising scene, a clearing covered by ancient, broken-down ruins. Much similar to the other ruins weʼve visited before. There was a few animals there, grazing around, even rather large bugs, which scared me for a bit, but werenʼt actually the Swarm.

”So the inheritance is in these ruins?” I wondered. ”But how were you able to save her strength in here and seal it so only you can open it?”

”Elise was well versed in magic.” Said the Gray Fenrir. ”Much more than you imagine a ”wild girl” to be, mostly thanks to the things she learned from the other magicians in your parentʼs group. She was able to combine her magic with the powers of these ruins… And fuel them anew, modifying them into a… vault, of sorts.”

”I see…” Aquarina nodded. ”Thatʼs really crazy. I wonder if we could ever do something like that ourselves…”

”Well, thinking about the stuff we suffered in that damn water dungeon ruins, I just donʼt want to have anything to do with these places for a while…” I sighed.

After all, I had yet to forget how those damn ancient gods controlled Aquarinaʼs mind, and even wanted to use her as their vessel…
