Magnus took out the invisible portrait of Arthur from his case and hung it on the wall. Merlin was looking at his room for the first time.
Then, Magnus took out Summer and Duck out of his other luggage. The two were sleeping inside calmly after eating food to their heart's content. He put them on the bed and let them sleep while he went downstairs to eat dinner.
"Do you want me to come too?" Ragnar asked.
"Why not, even if we talk about what is going on, there is no point in hiding as you will eventually know. Come now, I am starving." Magnus said.
Downstairs, the dinner table was set. Grace had cooked a big meal for them. Although they had lost the job, they had enough savings to enjoy their life for a few months.
"WOAH... this looks tasty. But I want pancakes tomorrow morning. It's been so long since I ate them." Magnus said.
Ragnar looked at him in confusion, "You just ate them this morning for breakfast."
*Cough*
"They were not made by my mummy. So, they don't count." Magnus clarified.
Grace chuckled, "Hehe, I hope you are not just eating pancakes there. Eating too much won't be good for your health."
"YES YES... let's eat now." Magnus sweated a little.
At the dinner, Magnus waited for his parents to discuss what was happening in their life. But they kept silent about it. Maybe they didn't want to talk about it on the first day he had arrived.
"Dad, where did you invest the money I gave you back when I saved it from all the interviews?" He asked.
Adam proudly replied, "I invested it all in a fruit company, though its founder said he will register the company later."
"Do you know the man?" Magnus inquired.
"No, it was the first time I met him at the convention. But he seemed very convincing, talking about the future of technology." Adam replied.
"What was his name?" Grace asked as even she didn't know this.
"Hmm, If I remember it right... It was something with Jobs as a surname. It's a strange surname so I remembered it. I got the document with me, he said he'd give me a share in his new company." Adam explained.
Magnus shrugged, "We'll see what this jobs man does in the future. Dad, will you teach me how to handle guns?"
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! What if you injure yourself by mistake? It can be life-threatening." Grace immediately denied it.
*COUGH COUGH*
Ragnar started coughing. Grace gave him a glass of water, "You okay, sweetie?"
"Yes... *Cough* yes... I'm good." Ragnar said.
~This guy fought murderers and won. If anybody is in danger then it's his enemies.~ Ragnar though internally.
Magnus wanted to protest this ban but he saw his dad winking towards him so he stopped.
"By the way, mummy, I got a pet owl too. She's sleeping in my room. You can play with her later." Magnus revealed.
"Really? Aren't they dangerous?" She asked.
Magnus chuckled, "Haha, no-no. She is far from dangerous. She is the sweetest owl I've met to date. The poor girl was bullied and injured by some bad kids. I saved her."
"You did well then. I will go and check up on her later. Ah... It's bedtime... You two should go and rest. You can go to meet Bobby tomorrow." Grace advised him.
Magnus also felt tired so he went to his room. Once inside, Ragnar asked.
"I thought you were going to tell them about yourself."
"I was, but I want them to tell me about their problem first. If it is related to me then I can explain it better." Magnus reasoned.
"What happened, Magnus?" Arthur asked.
"Someone's targeting my family," Magnus answered in one sentence.
"Let me guess, the royal family?" Arthur guessed.
Magnus shrugged. He did not have any idea who it was though even he was tilting towards believing what Arthur said.
"Huh, I have specifically told them on the stone tablet that if they try to harm you then they will die," Arthur muttered.
Merlin also spoke, "What is interesting is how are they still alive? What did they do?"
"I don't know, most likely stopping my parents' employment," Magnus revealed.
Merlin caressed his beard and thought about it, "Hmm... then they must have not done enough to mortally put your family in danger. That is why they are still alive. They are walking on a very thin thread."
"That's why I want to make things sure before I do anything," Magnus replied.
"Hmm, does not really matter. They are living like fish out of their pond. They can either keep on jumping around and eventually die or take your hand and survive for the remaining of their life because their future is already set." Merlin remarked.
Arthur also added something at the end, "I don't have any animosity with them. I don't even know them. If you were born 200 years ago, the kings or queens of that time would still have gotten the same conditions as they are now."
"I hope they don't commit suicide by doing something stupid now." Magnus sighed.
...
Bobby had become a man of science now and was one of the busiest kids on the campus. Most kids knew about him creating his own company and it earned him some respect points.
His work these days only included studying the new computer he had bought and trying to make more programmes for it. But, learning computers was not an easy task as you also needed deeper knowledge of its hardware as well.
So, instead of just being dependent on the work to advance the tech, he also tried to upgrade the machine he already has. Also, he was now receiving some more software information about new tech from Intel company since Magnus had invested in it.
Yes, Magnus was able to invest in Intel with the help of his lawyer. Although it was not a lot, he was able to invest 8 per cent in the company and then increase his share to 15 per cent in the IPO. This way, Magnus won a seat on the board of Directors and got the information about all the juicy stuff happening in the company.
Today, he was headed to his school on his bicycle. He used to take the bus but because he needed to reach earlier to do some other work he took bicycle nowadays.
"Hmm, Magnus' Christmas holidays must be close to starting. Can't wait to show him the computer." He muttered to himself.
"I wonder if he's still the same old Pancake loving freak?" he was talking to himself.
*INTENSE BREAK*
Bobby's bicycle skid on the pavement and fell. There were two tall men standing in front of him, wearing masks and looking intimidating.
Bobby immediately got alerted as he created some distance between himself and the two men.
"Who are you? What do you want?" he asked.
The two men immediately jumped at him. One easily grabbed his arms from behind.
"Haha, we want your brain, kid. We heard you are very smart in the way of the computer. WE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU IN THE GREAT SOVIET UNION." the other man said evilly.
"I'm just a high school kid. What do I have that your great Soviet Union does not?" Bobby asked.
"SHUT UP! SOVIET UNION IS THE BEST. WE JUST WANT YOUR BRAIN TO STUDY IT." the man replied.
Bobby's eyes flickered. He wasn't going to go down so easily. "TO HELL WITH YOU, COMMIES. BABY DESTROYER KICK!"
Bobby suddenly got out of the hold of the guy who had held him from behind and then kicked at his crotch.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA...." the attacker fell to the floor while holding his crotch.
Then Bobby took a small cylindrical thing out of his pocket and sprayed it on the eyes of the other attacker. "COMMIES WANT TO TAKE ME? HUH... I WILL TAKE YOUR EYES."
The other attacker too cried in pain and fell to the ground. But Bobby did not stop and kept on spraying.
*COUGH COUGH*
"DAMMIT, BOBBY! STOP! IT'S ME, MAGNUS."
"DO NOT LIE TO ME, COMMIE. MAGNUS IS NOT SO TALL. HE'S A MIDGET!" Bobby refused to believe.
"FFFFU... NO NO... It really is me, BOBBY. LOOK AT MY FACE." Magnus took down his mask. In all honesty, Magnus felt more hurt for being called a midget than the pepper spray.
*COUGH*
Bobby stopped spraying and looked at Magnus' face. He had a big smirk on his face.
Seeing it, Magnus went into a rage, "YOU... YOU KNEW?"
"What are you talking about? I thought I was attacked by two commies." Bobby clarified.
"Then why are you smirking?... look at that face... you're holding laughter!" Magnus asked.
"Is it illegal to laugh?" Bobby said.
Magnus then ignored him and went to Ragnar and helped him up. "You could have gone easier on poor Ragnar. I hope his bloodline doesn't go extinct because of you now."
Magnus took down Ragnar's mask and saw his eyes were still widened.
Ragnar glared at Magnus and spoke in a painful voice, "DAMN YOUUUU MAGNUS!"

"How are you, Mag?" Bobby asked just after passing an ice pack to Ragnar. He didn't hit that hard but sad for Ragnar, even a slightly heavy touch at the baby maker that could be painful.
"I'm good. So much has happened in my life that I don't even know where to start... And it's just been 3 and a half months. The magical world is crazy and wacky." Magnus said.
"Let's talk about that later... I want to show you the COMPUTER first." Bobby excitedly said and dragged him into his school. Bobby, as one of the smartest, had special privileges in the school.
Magnus and Ragnar followed Bobby into a big computer lab. There, some other taller kids were doing something on a machine. There was just one adult among them who seemed like a kid too due to his age and small size.
"This is my lab. After I bought the computer, I told the school to either let me use a hall or let me rent one. They let me use it in the end because they were too ashamed of not helping me before and they are supposed to be a talent cultivating school.
"Anyway, behold, DRAGON ONE. It was initially something else but I have upgraded it so much that it is unrecognisable." Bobby introduced his machine.
Magnus looked at the television like thing in front of him. It had some other components too, a board with keys on it and a small square box.
"What can it do?" Magnus asked.
"It can run calculations. Let's say you want to create a robotic factory with a mechanical arm that can do the welding for you. You can program this computer to run that machine. This is just the start of the technology of the future, Magnus." Bobby said.
Magnus nodded and fiddled with the machine. He used the box-like thing called a mouse and the thing called a keyboard.
"You programmed all this?" Magnus asked.
Bobby puffed out his chest, "Of course. There was no interface to use the mouse before, so I added one. Though this is all for private use as I have changed the original software of IBM and they might sue me if I published it."
"Cool, why Dragon One though?" Magnus asked.
"Hehe, because they are mythical creatures and none are stronger than them. Someday, I want our Futuretek to be the one to make the world's strongest and most advanced computer. Oh, wait... I have the ownership papers here for you." Bobby immediately took out some documents from a locked drawer.
Magnus read it and confusedly looked at Bobby's face. "Are you stupid? Why are you giving me 70 per cent? You're working the most here. If you really want to give me the controlling share then 51 is fine."
"But... It's your money." Bobby argued.
Magnus stopped him, "You won't say that after I tell you what happened in my school. Let's go somewhere private."
"Ragnar... You coming?" Magnus asked.
...
They came to an empty classroom. Magnus also cast a silencing charm around them.
"So, what happened that can be bigger than you having magic?" Bobby asked as he took a seat.
Magnus cleared his throat. "Bobby, didn't I tell you who that person in the invisible painting was?"
"Yes, he was King Arthur Pendragon, right?" Bobby answered.
"Yes, correct. I found out why only I could see him. You see, it turns out... I am his inheritor. Not just his, but also the Jesus equivalent of Wizards, Merlin too. My full name is Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon now." Magnus revealed.
*BLINK BLINK*
Bobby looked at his face for a few seconds. Then asked in disbelief, "What?"
"BOBBY, I am the heir to the British throne. I will take the throne when I turn 18." Magnus straightforwardly said.
*BLINK BLINK*
"But how? You are just from a simple family." Bobby could not understand how this had happened.
"Well, I somehow got their inheritance. I was chosen by them. Now, I didn't just inherit their money but also their title and rights. King Arthur was the first king of unified Britain and as his heir, I superseded all royals. I also have millions of gold coins and gems. Also, my friend, I found out that the magical world is in a civil war. There is a Magical Hitler gaining power. He considers all wizards with non-old magical bloodline impure. They even tried to kill me but I survived.
"So, I have decided to create a secret group. We will keep the world safe by putting our people in all kinds of important positions around the world. It is called the Round Table. For now, there are 4 members, including you." Magnus revealed.
Bobby's jaw was left hanging. He looked at Ragnar in a questioning gaze. "Is he for real?"
Ragnar nodded his head multiple times.
"THAT'S SO COOL... WOAH... WE CAN DO SO MUCH GOOD IN THE FUTURE... THAT'S SO AWESOME..." It was as if a lid was taken off Bobby's head and he talked non-stop.
Magnus laughed, "Haha... You get ready. In a few days, we'll be going to have a look at the castle Merlin left me."
"Really? I'm forever free for that. Let's go there anytime you want." Bobby was very excited.
"Calm down, Bobby. First I need to deal with some problems. Someone is targeting my mum and dad. They don't have a job now and aren't able to find new ones. I suspect it is the royal family. They must have found out about me." Magnus discussed.
"Hmm, if your parents can't find jobs then either the world is ending or it's really as you said... I can't see the sky falling so you're probably right. What's the plan?" Bobby inquired.
Ragnar spoke first, "No plans for now. We will talk to the secret bodyguards of Magnus' parents first."
"Uncle and aunt have bodyguards? COOL..." Bobby exclaimed.
"I didn't know that either. Just realised it this morning." Magnus clarified.
"So, when are we going to talk to them?" Bobby inquired.
"Right now... Can you skip school?"
"Yup, I can skip school whenever I want. I'll just say I'm going to a computer convention. You wait outside the school." Bobby said and ran to the principal's office.
...
"Bobby is a really unique person," Ragnar said.
"Yup, he is Bobby. Anybody with that name can't be normal. I know he'll do something great someday." Magnus confidently replied.
"But bringing him into the magical side of the world might put his life at risk," Ragnar warned him.
Magnus sighed, "I know. I will try to keep him mostly away for now. Hopefully, by the time the pure-blood crisis becomes too big, we'll be powerful enough to handle anything."
"Hope is all we can do," Ragnar muttered.
*BAM*
Bobby came running with his bicycle. "RUN RUN... THE BULLIES WILL BE COMING."
Magnus looked at Bobby weirdly. "Why run?"
"Because I just whacked one of them on his face. They are from the school cricket team."
Magnus didn't go. He waited for the bullies to come. Soon, 6 boys came, all of them were tall and obviously seniors of Bobby.
"Ay... Where are you running to? You've got friends to help you now?" One of them shouted.
Magnus looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Gilbert... Who the hell are you? Never seen you before." He asked back.
*Sigh*
Magnus got off his bicycle and walked to the bully. "What did he do, Bobby?"
"He was extorting pocket money from a new girl. So I just whacked him." Bobby answered. He was strong enough to handle 2-3 but when he saw 6 of them that was when he came running out.
"So you're a thief?" Magnus inquired.
"NO! We were just borrowing money." The boy defended himself, obviously lying.
Magnus went very close to him. He was shorter than the boy by a little. But it did not stop him from his next actions.
"Maybe the school won't do anything to you... But I will..."
Magnus heated his one hand and then *BAM*
A backhand slap on the face. Hard enough to make the boy fall to the ground. He held his reddened cheek with a crying face.
"YOU..."
2 more boys came to fight Magnus but *BAM* *BAM*
Two more backhanded slaps and two kids down on the ground. The other 3 got scared seeing this.
"WE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS... WE W..."
Magnus proudly looked at the eldest of them who was the first to fall.
"Go on... Tell whomever you want. What would you say? That an 11-year-old slapped three 15-year-olds and made them cry like babies?
"How would you explain ganging up on a single kid with 6 of you and still losing? Do you think this is a joke?" Magnus loudly roared at their faces. He was also making his body radiate heat and it was making everyone feel more scared of him.
"MAGNUS... STOP... ONE OF THEM HAS WET HIS PANTS..." Ragnar suddenly shouted.
Magnus stepped back and saw one of the kids who was not beaten by him. He had peed in his pants.
Magnus sighed, "I didn't even talk to you."
"P-please don't tell my mum..." The boy spoke.
Magnus sighed and stopped radiation heat from his body to feel scary. He walked to the boy and said politely, "Stop following them around if you want to do something in life. You were able to get into this school, so you must have something good in you. Focus on that... Join Bobby maybe... He's got a good brain. REMEMBER! YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY! Take care now... oh, and remember, I hate bullies."
He ignored the slap victims and left with Bobby and Ragnar.
After a good distance, Bobby protested, "Don't call me Bobby in front of people, I have a reputation to maintain."
"Okay, Bobby," Magnus replied.
"Hehe... sure, Bobby," Ragnar added with a chuckle.
"Argh..." Bobby grunted.
