Chapter 18: A Bath!

After the red carriage belonging to the Cavias family left. The man in normal clothing, escorted Matthew inside the orphanage. The place looked better than what the young boy had imagined.

Since, even though the walls were cracked a little, and the ground didn't look to be in the best shape possible, they were still clean, and had an air of simple beauty. As the two continued walking through the empty hall, Matthew asked the man beside him.

"If you don't mind, mister, could you tell me where we're going? I want to take a bath if possible!", Matthew was for real. He could feel how dirty he was, but, even more important, he disliked this rotten smell of blood on himself.

He also wanted to wear something else. These ragged clothes, as well as how bad his body smelled, and looked at the moment, made him remember the cause of all of this, the event that happened yesterday. Something, young Matthew didn't want to remember at the moment.

The man walking beside him, smiled through clenched teeth, as he thought to himself, 'If I let him wash at the normal baths in his first time, well, I reckon he will have a very bad time, and that's not something I want to happening to him'.

'After all, it's known how The Fierce Lion got his name, from the way he treated his enemies! During the Monster War, everyone feared him, there was even a battle where he won without having to fight, but just by appearing! The enemies were so scared of what would happen to them if they fought!'.

'They ended up just surrendering! That was one of the most unbelievable things to happen during that year, even people from the other three kingdoms had praised him for that, and so, if the heir says that this young boy here must be treated well, he shall be treated well'.

'And to be honest, I was planning to treat him well from the beginning. He is a symbol for us commoners, a symbol that means, we too, can be blessed by the One Power! If the Green Mage wasn't enough, now, we have this young boy as well! And, if he manages to become a great Magician, all commoners will support him as a hero!'.

'How great would it be, if I was the one who took care of him when he was young, the one who helped him nurture this superb talent he has in the One Power manipulation?'.

The man then said to the young boy, "Yes! I will let you take a bath now. I will prepare your clothes for you as well, but, I have to inform you of this, the bath you will be using belongs only to the workers here, and it is better than the normal bath used by the kids!".

"I will let you use if from time to time, but, you have to earn that right, I will be doing something that hasn't been done in over a decade now, I will personally employ a Magician to help you practice magic!".

"This is something only nobles do, not even normal families do it, and you are in an even worse situation, since you are at the orphanage! Still, the amount of the One Power twirling beside you, is, well... too much! I can't let it go to waist!".

"And so, very soon, you will start practicing magic, and according to the teacher's Remarque on your progress, according to the rewards you will get, one of them, includes showering at this bath!".

"Now, first, and before that, I have to ask you something! How serious are you about being a Magician? Since I suspect that was why you weren't adopted by the Cavias family, and only your sisters became part of it!".

'Hah! This guy is smart! And, he, he will employ a tutor for me?! I can start learning magic from now? Hah! This will be great indeed!', thought Matthew, as he smiled and bowed a small bow to the man walking beside him.

"First off! Thank you so much, mister! For giving me such an opportunity, and second off! I am very serious, I turned down being a son of the Cavias family, and even accepted being separated from the only family I have left! All of that, was so that I could become a Magician!".

"Hopefully, one as great as the Green Mage, or the Yellow Sun!". The man smiled as he observed the young boy's serious expression, 'Hah! It seems like he's really serious about this! Good! He will need that, if he truly wants to reach such a statue!'.

"Okay! Good! Now, let us continue toward the bathroom!", said the man, as he continued walking toward the place they were already headed too. Matthew continued following after him, and when two minutes had passed, they had arrived in front of a closed door, leading to a bathroom according to the sign placed above it.

The man searched for a particular key from the more than 13 or so keys he owned, and after he found it, he opened the closed door, and gestured to the young boy to enter.

Matthew got inside, and felt amazed by this sight, 'Wow! This really is a reward, look at how sparkling the water looks, and the material here, how it's made as well, I bet this is how a noble's bath looks like!'.

The man asked him again, "You do know how to bathe, right?", Matthew nodded. The man then said, "Good! Start then, I will return in 15 minutes, you should be done by then! I will bring you your new clothes as well! Anyway, have a good time, and don't waist water!".

With that, the man left and closed the door behind him. Finally, Matthew was left alone. He looked at the surrounding place, then started undressing, after which, he started bathing.

As the warm water streamed through his body, and the soap covered most of it, he thought about his life, 'Hah! Finally, left alone with my thoughts, han? Who would have thought that it would happen when I am taking a bath?'.

'Dad and mom, I already miss you so much, but, at the very least I am still alive, as I promised, I will kill everyone responsible for the events of yesterday, in other words, the whole of the Black Tower! Doesn't matter if the Dark Crow is their leader, I will kill him too!'.

'But for that, I will need to become very strong, I also need friends, since, no matter how strong I become, I won't be able to destroy the Black Tower by myself, and so, I will have to look for people I can trust, if possible, I would like the Manos sisters to help me, but I would also prefer it if they lived normal lives, away from all of this!'.

'Anyway, for me to become powerful, I will need to control all this talent I have, I don't know why I was born blessed, but I am born like this, and I will use all the One Power I can to become strong, it's good that I can start training from now!'.

'I will have to put my all into it, since I am not joking when I say I will destroy the Black Tower! The Green Mage, the Yellow Sun, even the King's Power, all of them don't stand a chance against the Dark Crow! I will have to become better than all of them!'.

'I will have to do everything in my power, to reach the Dark Crow, just like the Dragon Slayer did! Ahh! This water is very relaxing, let's add this as another reason why I should put my all into this training!'.

With that, Matthew continued bathing, and after about thirteen minutes went by, he had finished, he sat on a small chair that was present there, he was naked at the moment, and had to wait for the man to return.

'Haha! He didn't even give me something to cover myself with, well, he did say that I am already getting a better treatment than all the others here, and about that, I wonder how the other kids are here, will I really have to rely on a Fire Bolt spell to scare them?'.

'And big bro Vin mentioned abuse by the adults! What did he mean by that? Well, if anyone tries anything on me, even if it's an adult, I will burn him, all the workers here seem to be normal humans, in other words, me, a seven-year-old, is stronger! Well, if I can't perform the spell before they get to me, then I am also a normal human, but even weaker than them, since I am only a seven-year-old kid!'.

'Anyway! Let's just hope that my stay here will be normal!', thought Matthew, as he waited for the man to return, and bring him some clothes.
