Chapter 29: Matthew Ankston

Matthew didn't know how to react to what was just said to him by this man, after all, being adopted into a noble family is one thing, but being made an heir to that family, is something else entirely.

'I... will be this family's heir?! That means that in the future, and after this man dies, I will take over the family as leader! That's, not really something I want to have, I don't want to become a noble that's tied down, I only want to become a noble to guarantee my magic training!'.

'Since, if you're not a noble, it will be very hard to enlist in a magic academy, especially if you're an orphan. And so, to live a great life of relaxation, and to have an opportunity to become an even stronger Magician, I need to be adopted into a noble family!'.

'But still, becoming the heir, is another thing entirely! Hmm! I guess I could make it work somehow, maybe? Also, being an heir will mean that I will be treated much, much better than a normal noble is, even if, as this man says, the noble family is falling off!'.

'Hmm! I don't know, but since it was aunt Rania who recommended me to them, that means that this family should be a good one! And if this man is for real, I will be treated equally, compared to his daughter. I don't think I will be able to think of him as my father though!'.

'But, I don't mind having another father in my life, even though I have friends here, I don't think I can call them family, but, with this, I will be able to have a family again, a noble one at that! I guess, I will accept!'.

With that, Matthew had made up his mind, and so, he looked at the man called Nero Ankston, and said, "Okay! I accept to be adopted into the Ankston family, and be called Matthew Ankston from today onward! Nice to meet you, father!".

Matthew smiled and gave a small bow to the man sitting before him. Nero looked at the kid who was only nine years old, and thought to himself, 'Hah! He talks like a 13-year-old, or even older, his magic ability is something great, and the One Power that has been floating around him, is very impressive!'.

'I am barely able to keep my composure while looking at it, still, all of that, doesn't matter as much, what does, is that I will be getting a son! Finally, I've been trying with Mars for some time now, but nothing has happened unfortunately, but, now, I have gotten a son!'.

'An heir to my seat, my uncles and brother have been trying to take control of the family over these last years, especially since I don't have an heir yet, and to be honest, they won't like that an adopted son will be the Ankston family's heir!'.

'Still, after they take a look at this boy, I am sure they will agree that he's very fit to lead our family in the future. After all, he's already so strong, even though he's only nine years old! Hah!'.

With that, the man named Nero Ankston, got up from his seat, as he looked at the boy in front of him. He then patted his head, and said, "As for your magic tutor, you will have to say goodbye to him today, I will be teaching you from today onwards, say goodbye to your friends as well, you can still visit them once a week if you would like!".

"Finally, you will have lessons from my wife, and your new mother, about what being a noble is. As for your little sister, Olivia, I hope you play with her, she's very lonely. Not many people want to play with her!".

"Anyway, have your stuff ready by lunch, I will come pick you up by then!". The man nodded again at Matthew, as he patted his head once more, and then headed toward the door, he opened it, then turned around and said, "Oh! And it is nice to meet you as well!".

Nero Ankston then left. Matthew looked at the boss of the orphanage for a second, before he smiled and sat on the same chair his new father had been sitting on all this while. He looked at the boss, who started to feel angry.

"What is it now? Why haven't you left yet?", the boss of the orphanage said angrily to the little boy sitting in front of him. He was already quite angry by what Robert had told him about this boy, but now, he felt like he was being challenged.

And what really infuriated him the most, was of course, that the one challenging him, was a nine-year-old. 'What a joke!', he thought. Still, when he remembered watching the boy in the backyard training, and when he looked at the One Power floating around him, he did, indeed, feel a little scared.

Matthew was smiling at the man in front of him. It seemed like he was the boss here instead. He opened his mouth, and said, in a calm tone, "Ahm! So, I am leaving. But, I just wanted to say that, well... If my friends come to me, and say that they've been hurt in any way, my promise will ring true!".

Matthew's gaze was very sharp at the moment, and the boss could sense the One Power behind the young boy turning stronger by the second. Matthew continued, "Now, I am even a noble, so killing you has become even easier for me!".

The man looked at the little boy sitting across him, and started laughing, "Hah! Hahaha! What the heck are you saying, young boy? You are certainly brave, you think I am afraid of you, han?". In the next second, the boss stood up fast, and was about to attack toward Matthew.

But, he instead, found himself being pushed by a strange gust of wind, and fell to the ground. The moment after that, a fireball was floating in front of his face. He felt like he was about to piss himself right now. He never in his life, thought that he could be killed so easily by a child.

The fireball disappeared in the next second, Matthew got up from his seat, and walked toward the man, he said, "See, I can cast a spell even faster than you can reach me, but, I do have to warn you, I am close to you now, but this time, I won't stop, don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will hurt you". Matthew chuckled a little, and added, "Just a little bit!".

"Ahm! Anyway, now that you've seen the difference, I hope you understand that I am not joking. Not even you, and all the workers against me can win, and well, if you try to hire someone, remember, my father will protect me, and if he can't, I do have the support of the Fierce Lion!".

"So, just keep it in your mind, I am not joking, it's better if my friends don't come to me to complain about something happening to them! Anyway, good day sir!". With that, the nine years old, gave a small bow, and turned around, as he left the room, leaving the man alone there.

The boss of the orphanage kept smiling, he couldn't believe what had just happened. "Hah! Hahaha! He's for real, a young boy like him!!! To think that he could kill me in the blink of an eye! Hah! I just can't believe it! Dammit!", the man hit the ground beneath him in anger.

As Matthew left the room, his body started sweating immensely, he was barely able to hold himself anymore, 'Hah! Dammit! That was very scary, it's a good thing that I was prepared, otherwise, it would have been me on the ground, maybe even with an arm broken or something!'.

'Still, this proves that I've become very strong, I was able to cast two low grade spells one after the other, Gust of Wind to knock him down, and Fire Bolt to scare him off! Oof! I will for sure miss teacher Micheal, but I could already sense that my new father, is times and times stronger than him!'.

'At least, I think he is. But then again, teacher Micheal warned me about this, don't ever judge a book by it's cover!'.

'Still, with a teacher like my new father, I could probably improve even faster than I am already! Aside from that, It will be very funny, since now, instead of the Cavias family visiting every week, it will be me, visiting every week!'.

Matthew chuckled a little, as he continued toward his room. Whenever he reached it, inside, he found four people waiting for him. The three boys, and Max. He smiled, as he said to them, "I have just been adopted into a noble family, as the heir even!".

The four smiled, as one of the boys cursed him while laughing, "Hah! Damn you Matt, you get to be a noble now, han? Hah! Just don't forget about us, okay?". Matthew smiled as he said, "Don't worry, I will be visiting every week, and this time, you will be the ones getting food, and candy!".

The three boys smiled, as for Max, she looked at him, as she said, "Good for you! It seems you are advancing as a Mage quite well, I just heard Robert cursing you, he seems to be very afraid of you!".

"Of course he is, because now, I can beat him, and all the other adults as well, hah! Now that I remember my first day here, you four came to hurt me too, or, from what Tom said, you didn't really! Still, I guess I will take my revenge on you all now, so, Tom, in which way do you chose to die?".

Tom, was the name of the boy who was the second in command after Max in this little group, he looked scared, and said, "Matt! You know that I hate magic, so please don't joke about this!".

Matthew nodded and said, "Okay, I won't, sorry for trying to get you to laugh!". Matthew looked at the four again, he then hugged each one of them, even though Max barely allowed him to hug her.

He said, "Well, I will still be seeing you every week, but, this is goodbye for now!".

There was a sad atmosphere in the room after that was said, Tom brushed his face, which had started getting filled with tears, and nodded his head. The other three laughed at him, but it could still be seen on them too. They were all sad by this.
