"Alright, Virgil. You said that you wanted to learn magic from me. What kind of magic were you thinking?" Alucard asked, walking through the library.
"I wish to learn to control items like how you control your sword. But instead of a sword, I wish to control six daggers," Virgil replied
"Hmm well, that should not be hard to teach. But using it on multiple small objects that all move independently won't be as easy as you think," Alucard added
"I know but it is what I have decided," Virgil said with a determined look
"Very well. For now, read this book on basic levitation magic. It should help give you an understanding of what to expect. Also that boy you asked about we were able to find him he is only in middle school how will he be of help?" Alucard asked
"Well now he won't be much help but that boy's potential is higher than anyone in the world. He will become the strongest mage once he masters his skills," Virgil replied picking up the book.
"Okay...Last thing Alexander and Malisa went to speak with that company you told us about is there anything they should expect?"
"Yes. The owner is a madman who only wishes to create things no matter the cost so they should try not to give him any information on our plans with the material,"
"...I see I will let them know," Alucard sighed
Leaving the library Virgil was returning to his room when he ran into Annabelle Melody's older sister.
"Ah Virgil you must be busy this is the first time I have seen you walking around," Annabelle said walking up to him
"Yes, I just finished my training with your brother and will begin the second part with Alucard," Virgil replied
"Oh, I see. Before you go I have a question for you," Annabelle said
"Go ahead as me anything,"
"What are your plans with my family? You showed up and saved my sister which I am thankful for but I hope you don't plan to use that as a way to use us as soldiers for your future battles," Annabelle asked with a serious tone
"...I see you are worried. Well, you don't have to I won't bring my problems here. I just need a place where I can work and repair without a certain group of people watching my every move," Virgil replied
"The Justice League. Tell me what is your relation with them and why don't you wish to work with them?"
"Well, they recruited me not long before I met Melody. I only joined because a few members will cause major events if not watched, and one of them will be a major help in avoiding lots of events. But the reason I can't do this work there is because they won't make the hard choice are do what needs to be done to avoid these problems," Virgil explained
"....Alright I just hope you keep your promise I don't want my family getting hurt by your problems," Annabelle said walking away
{I'm surprised she is the only one to say that to you} Sabastian spoke
(True. This family is helping me more than I expected. I just hope I can keep my promise I don't wish to see them get hurt) Virgil thought walking to his room.
'Day 8: I have started my magic training with Aluacrd. Thanks to the book he gave me and the learner skills I was able to lift a dagger by coating it in mana within a few hours. The main problem was maintaining multiple daggers and using them while fighting with my sword. So far I have been able to lift two daggers while fighting with my sword. Any more than that would drain a large amount of mana and become problematic'
'Day 9: Alexander and Malisa were able to close the deal and received twenty kg of depleted and Volitial Promethium. The only problem was that he wanted to know are true plans with the metal. Thankfully he believed that lie that they would use it to make armor for their bodyguards. Now with the metal, we began production of the magic guns. After providing the mana cores and the Volitiial promethium Sabastian says that this gun could have the strength of an RPG behind each shot. I also began working on creating magic circles'
'Day 10: I don't know why I didn't start this before but magic circles are incredibly useful. I realized that if I drew a damage resistance magic circle on clothing it could protect against 50 caliber bullets with minimum mana added. I could also draw the different elements on my daggers making it so that once I activate them I would not have to focus on infusing them with the elemental magic'
'Day 11: I was finally able to control four daggers at the same time while draining a small amount of mana. We also began the development of magic clothing that would increase defense and offense capabilities. I started by infusing threads with mana making them as hard as steel but keeping the flexibility of Slik. With Melody's passion for fashion, the first set of magical clothing should be finished in a few days
'Day 12: We are close to finishing the first magic gun and creating daggers and a sword using Depleted. At first, it was difficult but we were able to melt it using my flames. Twin thought also reached level 50 so I could easily control six daggers with minimal focus. I also reached started mastering Second Fang: Hellhounds Hunger. A vertical slash that infused my sword with dark flames that would burn anything to ash'
'Day 13: We finally finished the first magic gun it works much better than anyone expected. We coudl also draw a magical circle on it that would infuse the bullets with that element. I decided to use ice magic to use it for stopping and slowing down enemies. With the f-rank mana core and volatile promethium, the gun coudl freeze a ten-meter radius. I have almost reached level twenty so it won't be long until I gain a class'
'Day 14: This is my final day with the Belmonts. I have begun to see them as a second family. But I can't stay forever I must confront the Justice League and get rid of the Joker. Melody Finished the clothing for me. It was a blue and black suit that had a rose pattern on it. With the mana-infused thread and the magical circles, it is resistant to each element, and most physical damage. I also drew the barrier speel on it giving me a permanent barrier. I gave each member of the family a magical gun as thanks for the help. They also finished my weapons which would help me alot in the long run. I also have to chance to meet with Timothy Hunter next week I just hope things go well and I can recruit him..."

"Virgil I heard you were leaving today," Melody said barning into the room
"Hey kid...yeah it's time I start working again," Virgil replied closing his Journal
"Why make sure you visit okay, and call us just to talk okay," Melody said hugging him
"Don't worry I won't forget," Virgil replied hugging her back
Leaving the room they both made their way to the main entrance where the rest of the family was waiting.
"Virgil it seems like you're ready to go," Chris said
"Yup...time I deal with somethings," Virgil replied
"Well don't forget you're training. Also here is a martial arts book. Anything could happen so it's best to be ready no matter what," Chris said handing him a book
"Thank you, Chris. You showed me the truth of the path I walk on," Virgil said placing a hand on his shoulder
"Virgil I'm glad for everything you have done but don't forget what we talked about," Annabelle said with a serious expression
"Don't worry I won't break that promise," Virgil replied with a determined look
"Hey big brother V remember you said you would show me your Fire," Stephen said pulling Virgil's jacket
"I remember," Virgil said creating a bird from his flames and having it fly around Stephen
"Woah soooo cool!!!" Stephen said chasing the bird
"Virgil you have helped my family in so many ways and I will do everything in my power to pay back the debt I owe,' Alexander said with a bow
"Don't bow to me. Just make sure to keep them safe alright," Virgil replied
"Virgil you saved my daughter and brought joy to this house that hasn't seen any in years. Remember you always have a family here and don't forget to come to a visit son," Malisa with wiping tears and placing a hand on his cheek
"Thank you Malisa I will make sure to visit whenever I can," Virgil replied giving her a hug
"Here you are, Virgil. All the information about the boy and when you will meet I wish you luck in you're meeting," Alucard said handing Virgil a folder
Placing everything in his inventory Virgil left the estate and made his way into the city.
{Are you ready Virgil?} Sabastian asked
"Yeah...let's get started," Virgil replied with a serious expression
