After we had talked for a while with Gen and ate like a 'family', the rest finally got ready and we got Elaina's son and the main hall ready. Well, they did all that, I simply waited for them to finish, cursing this world for not having phones that would allow me to purge this boredom and distract myself from the things I care very little about.
After a few hours, the first set of guests started to surge through the gates and main entrance, followed by their heirs, children and personal butler which usually stayed near the entrance. I went to the hall first before seeing everyone else entering the hall and greeting Ambrose and his mother on the way. They would wish him good luck while thanking Elaina for inviting them to the party.
Elaina seemed to be quite high in the social status if that was not evident enough by just taking a glance at the place she resides in, but she also seemed to be quite the a*shole. I always knew she was an a*shole, yet today she had hit a whole new level. She was introducing parents who had son's to me, as if I was her own daughter.
LET ME LIVE WOMEN! LET ME LIVE FREELY! IM 5 FOR F*CK'S SAKES! Wait... You know what, if she is willing to use the people against me, I will do the same.
I started to walk up to Elaina before standing 1 meter away from her. She had a slightly proud grin which I couldn't tell if it was from her son standing next to her or if it was because she thought she had bested me. Nevertheless, I had taken it as a personal attack making me gesture for her to come closer so I can whisper something in her ear.
The moment she was close enough for her to hear my whisper without anyone else being able to eavesdrop, I told her with my most polite voice "If you don't stop what you are doing, don't blame me for what is about to happen, You love your son, right? So you wouldn't do anything to embarrass him on his big day, right?"
Elaina furrowed her brows at those words while looking at me intently. I simply smiled dryly before saying "Stop trying to 'help'. I don't remember asking for it" in a voice which was clear to her yet completely overlapped by the sounds of the background to others.
Before she could say anything however, I heard a familiar voice from my right side, which was also where the main entrance of the mansion was located.
"PANY! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Said Aroura while picking me up after I had used gravity field at the correct time to make it seem like I did not weight a my original size of over 200kg. She picked me up and started to kiss me all over while checking if I am healthy and okay.
My father decided to do the same and my mom simply hugged me for an amount of time that made it become awkward, When we were finally done with the hugging and kissing I reassured them that I was fine yet I didn't change my natural attitude which did not seem to upset them.
After the most important guests arrived, Elaina and her son walked towards us before hugging every family member in my family and exchanging pleasantries. Gen and Aroura started to talk about me but I didn't pay too much attention to it until Gen said "You know your sister is quite the handful." with a chuckle.
"What do you mean?" Asked Aroura while glaring at me
"Don't worry too much about it. I think the new habitat must have took a toll on her mental state. Mostly she has been really nice to me" Gen replied while putting emphasis on the word 'me'
"Mhm!" Aroura snarled while glaring at me more intensely than before
Oh f*ck's sakes. I don't deserve all this.
I gave Aroura a warm smile as if I haven't heard what Gen had just said about me which made Aroura stop glaring at me. We finally went on with the party and sat down at the table nearest to the front of the hall, where the Starnight's would sit.
I put my elbow on the table while allowing the full weight of my head to rest on my hand. Of course I was using gravity field so I wouldn't break everything I touch, yet it was more of reflex now rather than a thought.
I looked towards the hall's doors and watched the sheer amount of people flooding through them. Within them was L- The annoying women from before who is also and the son of the boy who tried to forcefully take my sister's hand. For a second, my eyes lingered on her soul flame which was full of vigour and light.
I unconsciously started to drool as I looked at her soul flame and thinking back to all the soul flames that I had eaten before. They were all amazing but none of them looked as good as hers. It took me all my willpower to look away from her soul flame, and even more will power to stop thinking about the pleasure that would overtake me the moment I take in a single speck of her soul flame.
After around 30 minutes of waiting for something, a man robed in white that looked like he might be a priest walked to the small stage where Elaina's son stood idly. Elaina's husband then clapped his mana infused hands making everyone zip their mouths and achieving total silence.
The silence did not last long, as the sounds of fidgeting echoed throughout the entire hall as everyone looked towards the stage.
"Today is a very important day for our family, more more importantly, to my son, Ambrose!" Everyone started to clap while I just stared since I didn't have the energy to actually take my head of my hand.
"Today, Ambrose will awaken and we would like to share his awakening with all of you while being able to celebrate it with those we love." Elaina's husband said while looking at us then towards the women who's name begins with the letter L
"Priest Johnson will be helping him awaken today and will also show us his potential as a mage." Elaina chimed in before walking off the stage with her husband and leaving the priest and her son on the stage.
"Kneel down my boy" Said the priest with a soothing voice. The boy looked at his parents which nodded at him, before kneeling down in front of the priest. The priest then touched the center of the boy's forehead with his index finger before chanting a few words. A white milky aura surrounded them before glowing brightly, illuminating the entire hall.
I widened my eyes while everyone squinted.
Is that... White magic?
I watched as the white energy started to seep into the the boy before it exploded outwards with a vibrant emerald colour, blinding almost everyone in the hall in a single second. When everyone was able to regain their vision, me included, we all looked at the glistening emerald aura that was around 5 inches thick.
It moved around his body like a storm, but that wasn't the main reason I was surprised to see it. From what I could see, he had a affinity to air magic which not only made his eyes emerald green, but also made him develop a mana heart.
Wait... A mana heart?
I looked at the right side of my sister's chest which allowed me to see something inside it. It was a mixture of both green and ocean blue that both ravaged inside a small area of her body. It was a mana heart!
Wait... How could I be so blind? I knew I had one and I knew that the beasts had one as well as my tutor. Wait, is it harder to sense human's mana hearts? Wait what is that?
I looked at the boy again before focusing around his mana heart. There were very small veins and arteries that would be closer to being capillaries due to there small size. I couldn't actually feel them nor see them, but due to the fact that the boy had just awakened, it was easier to see since they had just started forming. The more they form, the smaller the aura around the boy became.
Wait... I remember now! When I was using white magic I was able to see my illuminated mana veins clearly. They are surely bigger than his, but that raises the question. Doesn't White magic come from the soul flame?
While I was pondering the revelation, everyone in the hall had erupted into a fit of applauses while cheering including my own family members. Elaina was on the floor crying with joy while her husband was trying to keep her standing.
Wait... Was that good? I mean, yet he has an affinity, but that isn't that special is it? I mean, I don't actually have an affinity but everyone I know except Throid and Alan have one... Maybe it is rare. huh...?
-"wow"-
-"He really was a prodigy"-
-"To think he would awaken with a strong affinity right off the bat"-
-"Lucky bastard, We have to work our a*ses off every day for multiple years just to have that kind of affinity, and this kid got it right away?"-
Oh... it's starting to make sense now. His mana heart is at least double the size of mine, if not triple, yet he had just awakened his magical affinity. I wonder if mine will be boosted in size when I awaken or have I already awakened?
While some kids looked at the Amber? in admiration, others looked green with envy and others even angry that it wasn't them who had awakened such a powerful affinity.
All affinities were the same, the only difference in power was the power within such affinity. To me, it is the size of their mana heart that tells me their how powerful their attacks may be if they were to attack me. Of course, the strength of an attack will be split between simple, basic and advanced, yet someone with a large mana heart and large veins may as well have the strength of an average advanced spell within his/her basic spell, if not even simple spell.
Ambero? could be seen jumping up and down with joy as his final specks of aura had been absorbed into his body. The priest congratulated him before leaving as swiftly and quietly as he could.
The moment the priest left, Ambo? could be seen jumping down from the stage o his parents to hug them for as long as he could. Everyone from Gen to Aroura were happy for him, as they all walked towards the family while leaving me behind to sit in my own thoughts. When I realised this, I understood it would be extremely rude for me not to congratulate him too. I didn't care what others though about me, but I cared what others thought about my parents and I wouldn't want a repeat of what happened the last time I embarrassed my mother in front of someone higher class.
When my family reached the Starnight's, They all participated in a group hug which I chose not to be a part of by standing as far as possible without seeming rude. When they finally got done with their hugging, I heard a familiar voice which made me want to go back to sitting on my table immediately.
"Who would have thought you would be so talented~" A women said while hugging the small Ambo.
"Aunt Laura! You came!" Ambo said while smiling widely.
"Of course I came. Why would I miss my own nephews awakening?" The women said while giving a smug grin.
"James! Your here too?!" Abo said while looking looking behind the women and seeing a man in his early 20s. The man nodded with a smile before saying "of course" with a confident voice.
"Oh hey Laura... Sorry about last time" my mother said with an ashamed look on her face.
"no no, it was my fault, please forgive me!" replied Laura with fake shame on her face.
Why is my mother apologizing to that b*tch? She walked into our house and started complain yet she has the balls to face us now? If there are gods out there, please help me refrain myself from slaughtering this b*tch and her entire lineage!
"H-hey Pandora, s-shouldn't you be c-congratulating me, giving me a gift or something?" asked Ab- whatever his name is. His voice wasn't very convincing which usually meant that he was being put up to this by his parents.
"Yes, how about a hug or maybe a kiss on the cheek? I'm sure you are very happy for my son, right?" Elaina said with a wink.
What the f*ck? Stop trying to secure an heir to your son so early! Do you have no shame!?
My parents and Aroura stared at me with an unreadable expression while Lauro glared daggers at me, as if I was stealing something that was hers. Gen however, just started to chuckle right next me before whispering in my ear "Please refrain from killing them after this" with another chuckle leaving her mouth.
I looked at Elaina with a smile before walking up to the boy and grabbing his hand to shake it. I could physically feel him flinching at my touch while I could also feel the furious glares of both parents and girls who were just a little older than my vessel.
I held his hand between mine and raised them to chest level before saying "congratulations Am- Amber? Sorry, what's your name again? Well, that doesn't matter right now, right?". I gave him a frim hug before letting go and walking away with smile on my face. Gen started to laugh her ass off to the point she needed Aroura to hold her up, while everyone just looked at me with a comprehensive look.
"W-w-WAIT! Y-you d-don't know my n-name? Even though you lived in our house for the last 7 days? You really don't?!" Exclaimed the boy.
"Yeah... Sorry, I'm a little bad with names haha" I replied while giving him the most innocent smile I could give before looking at Elaina with a look that said 'Two can play that game'.
My parents then slapped their foreheads a few seconds after the whole thing happened while shaking their heads in disappointment.
"That was hilarious! Just don't do that again or aunt Laura might kill you with her glares" Gen told me while I was walking back to my families table. She had decided to join me and Aroura since she didn't have many friends we weren't busy at the time of her brother's awakening.
"You know, I wasn't lying when I said I don't remember his name." I told Gen which made her choke on her laughter
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
Aroura however, couldn't help but slap her own forehead again, making both of us look back at her.

After me, Gen and Aroura had talked for a bit, I was informed that my parents wanted to talk to me about something that apparently everyone but me knew, even though I had left the house for barely a week if you ignore me going to the forest for 4 days and being stuck in my room for another 2 weeks.
I walked towards my parents who seemed ready to tell me something really important. My mother stiffened up for a second after seeing me before relaxing and breathing a sigh. My father seemed to be more worried about my mother rather than pay my presence any heed.
"uhm... Pandora, we have a few things to tell you." Said my mother with a wavering voice.
What? Are they scared of me or something? It looks like they found out that I might have killed people back in the forest huh... Oh well. I guess I'll just tell them th-
"I'm pregnant..." exclaimed my mother without an explanation, not that it was needed.
Wha-... I feel like this is going to be "and you're the father" kind of speech that I used to see back on earth... Wait, I'm not the father right? Wait, of course I'm not! That would just be disgusting, plus, unless I somehow sleep walke- Wait... This doesn't make any biological sense too! How the f*ck would I be able to impregnate a women... As a female as well!
"I know you might be angry at us so w-"
"WHAT!?... I mean, okay? I don't understand why you're so---- Scared? And why would I be angry?" I said more flabbergasted than they were at my indifference.
"Wait... You don't care?" Asked my dad with a shaky voice
"Why would I?" I replied
"Well, we thought you might have thought we were abandoning you or something, you know? Like that Zach and Zarch did when you were born..." Answered my mother
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Well, if that's all, I'm going to get going now. Hope you have a nice day?" I said while pointing towards Gen with my thumb, before smiling and walking off.
The last thing I heard was "Well, that went well"
For the next few hours, I watched as a numerous amount of girls that looked in the ages between 6 and 12 moving towards 'Mr Air affinity' trying to use their family techniques into making him an heir and merging two families together. Apparently, in this world, girls my age are supposed to learn how to be a*sholes and greedy ones at that. The pure greed and envy within each of the girls eyes whenever another girl would introduce themselves to 'affinity boys'.
Due to my amazing soul perception of 50 meters, I could tell what was happening and the exact emotions of the girls from afar. For some reason though, 'Affinity boy' kept looking at me every time a girl would talk to him, as if he wanted to see my reaction yet there was non. This made his soul flame crackle and burst more after every single girl until he finally snapped.
Maybe after an hour of the girls pestering him, he had finally had enough? Hmm? Oh? He's walking towards us huh... Maybe he needs his sister to console him, I should probably inform her about thi-
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Asked 'Affinity boy' when he had finally gotten 2 meters in front of, yet he didn't stop.
HEH?! Why is he coming towards me? Does he want me to console him? No way... no way, not in a million years! F*ck off!
"Hey Gen, Your brother wants to talk to yo-"
"IM TALKING TO YOU DAMNIT! YOU NEVER PAY ME ANY ATTENTION AND YOU ALWAYS ACT LIKE IM LOWER THAN YOU! EVEN WHEN MY MOTHER KEPT SAYING ALL THAT STUFF. EVEN AFTER MOM TRIED TOMAKE US SPEAK TO EACH OTHER YOU KEPT IGNORING ME! YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME, AND NOW YOU ARE JUST LETTING ALL THE GIRLS TALK TO ME LIKE IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU!"
...
Is this early signs of puberty? Maybe puberty makes people on this planet angry? Or maybe it affects them at a young age? Oh yeah, he did tell me his name but for some odd reason I cannot remember it... Is this some kind of magic that makes my memory bad? I literally remember everything until his name was mentioned. That part is just a blur while everything else is crystal clear. Maybe I have some kind of curse?
"uhm... Pardon? Sorry? I don't know how to break it to you kid, but I really don't mind... It's not like we are dating, right?" I said with a flabbergasted tone
During my 5 seconds of thinking, almost everyone started looking at us while Aroura and Gen were more flabbergasted than I am at the balls this kid had. Not only was he shouting some nonsense, but he tried to imply that there was something between me and him.
"Kid? We are the same age! Is that why you don't pay any attention to me? Is this why you ignore me? Because you think you are older than me?"
I don't think kid, I know! Anyway, this will get really awkward if his parents don't come to either of our rescues, in the mean time though, I will try to minimize the damage dealt to either of our families.
"Okay, look her ki- uhm, just look here. I don't understand why you care so much if I give you attention or not, but you can't be yelling such misleading things out in the middle of a party. So please, refrain from shouting" I asked politely
"I care... I care because I-I... From when we were toddlers you were the only person I could talk to without being judged, you were always there for me... But now you say you don't even know my name? I know you were joking but... What is my name?" Ambrose stated in a whisper quite enough so only me, Aroura and Gen could actually hear anything he was saying.
"..."
SH****************T! I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR HIS NAME!
What kind of delusion does this kid live in?! I don't think I have ever talked to him unless I really needed to, and that started a 3 days ago! Does this kid have some mental disorder or something!? Does this kid have a case of erotomania or something?! F*CK
"WHAT IS MY NAME!" He asked once again
Hmm... It begins with an A and sounds like Amber I believe. THINK! THINK! USE THAT HUGE BRAIN OF YOURS!
In my head, several minutes passed where I collected data from all the occasions where his name might have been written until I found it. I had used my soul flame manipulation technique to the smallest amount while generating light magic to go straight to my brain. My thoughts started to accelerate beyond the time around me. This meant while minutes would pass in my head, seconds would pass outside. The side effect is a major headache but it's worth the pain. I finally gained enough information, from the letters I had seen on the cake after it had been cut and the small conversations I could differentiate from both the crowd and my family, I had finally been able to connect the dots and bring out a name.
7 seconds had passed in the real world, making everyone tense up. Yet, before a single person could say anything, replied with "Your name is Ambrose, Correct? Did you really think I didn't know your name? I literally live in your house!" I said, acting like I felt betrayed which fooled the crowd, but not anyone who actually knew me.
Ambrose, the name of the kid in of me, started to tear up and dropped to his knees in---- happiness? I acted like I was trying to console him but actually, I was trying to fix my almost fried brain from shutting down.
F*CK YOU AMBROSE! I will never forget your name and one day, I will avenge my brain with your head! I will make sure my brain's suffering does not go to waste! I will travel across the lands to find you wherever you hide, and ill make sure your death will be painful!!!
I carried him to his parents with a pained look in my eyes before walking back to Gen and my sister who still looked flabbergasted. The people stopped looking at us and shifted their attention to Ambrose. They didn't hear the first part of what he said, but they could tell that if they don't act quickly, they would lose to me... ME!? A person who doesn't want a speck of his attention! FOR F*CKS SAKES!
"soooo, you did know his name! You fancy my brother or something?" Gen asked while chuckling like a high school girl, not that she wasn't far from being one.
"You know how, before a disaster hits, and time slows down while your life starts to flash before your eyes? That happened... Now if you will excuse me, I have a migraine that might put a dragon to sleep so I will be moving to my room now." I said before getting up and moving towards the hall entrance.
From behind me, I could hear Gen laughing even harder than before, almost falling from her chair multiple times before being able to recompose her self.
I finally got to my room which I flung open before walking to my bed. What I saw inside though, wasn't pleasing or relaxing at all. My whole body tensed up while the fatigue left my body as if it hadn't ever been there.
A man and women could be seen on my bed, doing their business, while the party was still ongoing downstairs. I looked at them more flabbergasted that they had the balls to do it on my bed than angry that they chose my room. Eventually, the two emotions swapped and I had the immense feeling of wanting to kill them both before sucking their soul flames dry.
"This is my room, you know? The room of a 5 year old child, and your doing that..." I said while pointing at their naked bodies which were once covered by sheets that were now on the floor after the shock.
"uhm... If you don't tell anyone, I'm willing to let you join. A women's job is to please the ma- AHHHHHHH!"
Before he could even finish his sentence, his arm was sliced off, making him scream in agony. I had used my weapon, the light brigade, to cut his arm off while using fire magic on the light brigade to seal the wound as fast as it was created. I then used air magic to make sure his voice wouldn't be hear before finally pointing the Light Brigade, which was a long sword now, towards his neck.
The f*ck is wrong with humanity? I'm 5! 5 for f*ck's sakes!
"If you want to truly please me, I wont say no. Of course, we will be using my method though." I told the man screaming like a little girl on the floor while smiling ear to ear.
"W-what do you want me to do!? Please spare me, I don't want to die, please!" Said the women on my bed. She was quite appealing to look at since she was extremely busty, but that was it.
"You are quite hot but you see, I am 'man' who believes in consent. Tell me and don't you dare lie to me..." I exclaimed while releasing a dense aura of bloodlust within the room before continuing "Did he rape you?".
My voice was soothing and soft yet my words were like first. It was almost like she was burning up by the use of some simple words. She staggered and teared up a bit before being able to talk.
"P-please save me" She uttered while pointing a shaking finger toward the overweight man on the floor who had not stopped screaming.
"Do you want to watch?" I asked with warm smile.
"Y-yes, please... I want him to suffer... Please, I beg you!"
From the way her soul flame is behaving, I don't think she is lying. Hmm, I don't trust her completely but ill make sure she is the one to kill him in the end. I'll keep all the evidence and make sure to record her killing him in case she does rat me out.
"Well then, put some close on because this is going to be a ride you will never forget." I replied with a calm voice yet a sinister smile stretching my face in unnatural ways.
