Makarov and Porlyusica looked at each other and neither of the two uttered a word. Their staring contest continued for a few minutes.Finally, Makarov removed his gaze from her and muttered softly but loud enough for her to hear him out," Just ask it already. I have no need to drag it any longer."
Porlyusica continued to look at him and finally asked," What game are you playing Makarov? I know you as well as your wife knows you. Whatever you did there wasn"t just for the sake of helping the young parents, isn"t it?"
Makarov didn"t answer her directly and just smiled mysteriously. His smile seemed to ask her, " how did you come to this conclusion".
" I was there when the brat released his magic. He had higher magic reserves than what you really revealed.
He had D rank mage reserve left in him after his first burst of magic. He was already a mid C rank magic reserve and he would be even more stronger than average S rank mage in his prime.
You underplayed his achievement in front of them, why did you do this?" Porlyusica asked.
" And what is your other question? Ask it already so I could answer both of them together?" Makarov told her.
" What is this stupid thing about light and shadow magic blocking each other and causing problem in the kid when he grows older.
The kid has darkness magic instead of just shadow why didn"t you tell the parents that?"
Light and evil magic are contradictory to each other but dark magic, it is complimentary with the light magic.
Light and dark are two sides of the same coin and can be used to empower the other. There wasn"t any need to let the judge learn Lost Magic. So what game are you really playing? Are you going to go against your own ideals and play with the lives of kuds, now, Makarov?" She said with anger fully evident in her face.
Makarov was not faxed by her angry face and revealed his plan to Porlyusica.
" I did what I thought was right. And I don"t want to involve and manipulate the kid"s life. He has as much freedom to chose his gate as any other kid in the world.
When the kid first arrived at Earthland from his mother"s womb I sensed the way the etherano particles in the air were attracted to the young Daven.
And this attraction released the burst of his light and dark powers.
Light magic won"t cause any problem but dark magic. It is something many people are uncomfortable about. Even I am so.
I don"t want to make his parents worry so I told them that it was shadow magic a sub part of dark magicks.
This calmed their nerves down and even of the magic council cause problem for Daven using darkness power in public, we could easily say it was a mutation of his shadow magic and he becomes even stronger." Makarov explained.
Porlyusica nodded with Makarov"s thinking as she felt it prevented Young Daven from being discriminated for something way beyond his control.
" Indeed, he might suffer badly from his future experience and And those idiots would try to find reasons for getting him caught in prison and make sure he doesn"t see the sky again.
They will be more afraid of the fact that he could become a second dark mag and challenge their rule and power then anything else.
Yet you haven"t told why you want young Daven to learn the lost magics, Arc of Embodiment?" She asked with her limited patience evaporating into the sky.
" You asked why I hid the true power of Daven. It is because of his parents. The both are very Frank and are less p.r.o.ne to keep secrets. Claire is even more so.
She likes to brag and if someday the news spread some department of the magic council will target him and they could do nothing to save him.
His strength should be hidden for a few years and then he could show his powers to the world but only light and dark magic.
His Arc of Embodiment should be preserved for the future.
His powers would grow quickly the more he masters different skills and spells of light and dark magic but with Arc of Embodiment his speed could be decreased significantly and protect him from too much attention."
" So arc of Embodiment was just to inhibit his growth or what Makarov?" Porlyusica asked.
" No it wasn"t just to inhibit his growth. I feel it in my bones something big will happen. I have this feeling for a few months. But when Daven was born I felt it once again but at a greater scale than before.
So I think he would be a partic.i.p.ant in that too. So due to his big etherano reserves, I thought I should give him some powerful magic skills to protect himself in that storm.
And that"s where Arc of embodiment comes in. If someone truly master this magic, one would be on the same level as a wizard saint.
And I don"t think he would have trouble reaching that level. I know that if laxus works hard he may even surpa.s.s me but Daven he is special." Makarov said
" What is so special about the young Daven that is so special other than his etherano reserves?" Porlyusica asked curious.
" I felt he had the power to change the course of future to any way he wants. I fell he has the power to change his destiny along with people around himself.
As for how I know it, it is my Gut. It has m ever led me astray and I don"t believe it would do so now." He revealed his reason.
" And that"s why you are involving yourself in the kid"s life too much?"
" I just want to make sure that he knows the difference between good and bad things. With his father being a Rune Knight he will surely try to pursue that field too.
Every child wants to pursue their father and surpa.s.s him in his field. Just as any father wants his son to match his skills and even surpa.s.s him.
So he would be involved in the Magic Council.
No matter how much we say that the world is light and dark, but we both know that the ways of the work is actually grey. And in this grey, the works of the Magic Council leans towards the darker shade.
I fear that he may be influenced by this and lean towards that direction too. I hope with my involvement he could lean toward the lighter shade."
There was a silence between the two old friends and later Porlyusica asked her final question," In the end what is Daven to you?"
" He is the hope of the future." Makarov answered as if it answered everything.
Meanwhile, Daven slept in his mother"s hands unaware of everything around him.
