"I understand Dad." with those words, he took the book from Ronald's hands and looked through it.
Ronald's palms were a little sweaty. As he waited for Luis to go through the book. He saw the change in Luis' expression. From normal to shocked and then to disbelief. Luis closed the book and uttered, "I can understand it, Dad."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"... What's in it?"
"Ancient Magic."
Ronald imdiately beca happy and asked, "Can you learn it?"
"Yes,"
"Haha, good, good. You inherited my genes very well." Ronald said while laughing out loud.
Luis was a little dissatisfied. "But Dad, you didn't have the talent to read it either, right?"
Ronald gave an awkward laugh and said, "Yeah, but I never said anything about talent. It's the genes I'm talking about."
Luis looked at his father speechlessly.
"Anyway, go back to your room now. Study it well from that book. Also, rember to show what you learned later, and try it first under my watch." Ronald won't let Luis practice so dangerous magic alone. So he asked him to learn it for now and use it under his watch so he can rest assured.
Who knows what kind of magic is in there? If there's so forbidden magic that is dangerous for the user, Ronald will stop him.
Luis smiled warmly and said, "Okay, good night, Dad."
"Yeah, good night." Ronald was left alone in the study wondering what kind of existence his son will beco in the future.

After Luis returned to his room, he didn't sleep and started reading the book he got from his father. The more he read, the more shocked his expression was. Sweat ford on his forehead and his hands trembled in excitent.
He wondered, 'Just what kind of existence was this, Sage?'
The book contained a variety of ancient magic spells. From different attributes to attribute less magic. "It seems my Sorceror Talent will shine as I master these spells."
But what Luis was most interested in was the Illusion magic spells contained inside this book.
'I can't believe sothing like this exists.'
'But with the amount of mana I currently possess. There is no way I can use these spells.'
He saw so spells for his Lightning and Space attribute, which made him interested. 'Hmm, so once I master my elent to a certain extent, I won't need any spells and can freely use them with my imagination. Provided I have enough mana for it.'
After going through the book, he beca a little interested in so spells with low mana consumption, which he believed could use soon.
*Plop*
Keeping the book beside him with a plop, Luis sighed and mumbled. "I have a lot of things to do before the ga story starts."
With that, Luis drifted off to sleep.

Inside her room, Alicia had a hard ti sleeping. Whenever she closes her eyes, she rembers the scene near the pond and Luis' words at that ti.
"What's wrong with ?" She mumbled in annoyance.

The next morning, Luis woke up early and didn't admire himself like always, as he had sothing important to do. Beside him was Alicia, who couldn't have a good sleep last night. In front of him stood Jack, his father's loyal subordinate. Can also be referred to as his father's shadow.
Luis had seen Jack since his childhood, but he still doesn't know much about him. Jack doesn't have a surna and only ever acted on his father's orders.
He was highly competent and powerful. He is also the one who manages many things on Ronald's behalf. Most of all, Jack was trustworthy.
Luis kept on swiping the hologram files in front of him. Alicia waited for a while. When she saw Luis was done with whatever he was doing, she couldn't help but ask. "Why did you suddenly want to check these reports? In all the results, we got nothing."
The disappointnt was written on her face. Luis was currently checking all the reports of the investigation Alicia had done over the last few years.
"You didn't find anything wrong. Isn't that the most suspicious thing?"
"What do you an?" Alicia didn't understand what Luis was getting at.
"Are you telling these reports are false?" Alicia asked while knitting her brows.
"How would I know? Also, all the reports can't be false, right? It may be possible to receive a false report once or twice. But not all of them, when many people had done the investigation." Luis replied with a shrug.
Alicia nodded her head, thinking back to Luis' words. "So what is the suspicious thing you are talking about?"
Luis just smiled and didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked at Jack and asked. "Did you do what I had asked of you?"
Jack nodded his head and said in an emotionless voice, "Yes, young master."
Luis nodded and then looked at Alicia, who was waiting for his answer. "I'll explain, but before that, tell sothing, Alicia."
Alicia looked at him, waiting for his question.
"Why do you think even after all these years you couldn't find any information about them?"
"Why?" Alicia raised her brow as if thinking of an answer.
"Indeed, why it is?" Luis nodded and said, "Even with the Raven family, the Suarez family, and the Desmond family's information network, we couldn't find a clue."
"Why do you think that is?" He asked again.
"Cause they are hidden so well," Alicia replied.
"Of course, they are hidden well. But, I want to know, how can they be hidden so well?" Luis' words made her rethink everything.
Alicia had tried everything to search for them yet couldn't find any clue. Raven family's information network is one of the best so it should be possible to find their traces at the very least. But they couldn't find anything. So why was it?
"Either they are so powerful that we can't even find their traces or... soone powerful is hiding them," Alicia murmured.
Luis smiled and asked, "Now who has enough power and influence over this country that can hide things, even from 3 of the major families?"
