Chapter 142

**Igses Point of View**

Pulling one side of my mouth in a sloppy arrogant smile, I looked up at the very tall man in front me.

I wrapped my arms over my chest and waited for him to get done with what he was saying; which by the way is too long and too unimportant.

"Mr. Ebernus –"

"Call me dad." I was cut off with his demand before I could say anything.

I looked at him from his head to the toes which were covered in shoes for a few times thoughtfully. I'm not a fool, I can tell that mamma sent me over to learn from grandpa Abby without any hesitation is because she wants to try amicable relationship with Mr. Ebernus.

Although the adult did not realize it yet, I have been with mamma for nearly six years plus ten months in her stomach, of course I know her more than anyone else.

Seems like she really wants to give dad a try.

Alright then, who am I to put my nose into adults matter? In that case, I can only help mamma a little indirectly.

"That depends." I replied with a casual shrug and walked towards the very amused teacher, grandpa Abby.

"Depends on what?" Mr. Ebernus – nay, dad asked but it was clear that he is amused as well.

"Mamma is my universe, if universe wants something, how can I have power to not accept it." Saying, I gestured him to bend down. He curiously did so and when was at my level of height, I patted his shoulder encouragingly, "Work hard, then."

Grandpa Abby, who has been holding back his laugh burst out into breathless chuckles as he looked me with such bright glittering eyes as if he found a treasure.

If it were someone else who looked at me that way, I would've felt creepy. But even though I knew grandpa Abby for only handful of days, he is really very calm and very interesting to talk to.

Grandpa Abby and my grandpa are of two different personalities but both of them are so interesting in their own ways. While Grandpa Abby gives of a feeling of wise scholar who can solve any problem with a calm mind, grandpa gives out the vibe close to mamma, although he is concentrated on discipline, he still makes my heart feel warm and happy.

"I am your father; I am also your universe." Something that is very similar to a pout appeared on his face but since he is a very muscular man, his face muscles made the pout look a little – spooky.

My heart seriously skipped at beat when I saw that childish expression on his face. I can tell that he is trying to communicate with me like any adult would do with a child.

But, I had always seen him either serious or a little... cheery when mamma was around so this was my first time to see him give out such expressions.

To be honest, I was holding back my smile so as to not give in to him easily.

"No, mamma is the universe and we can only be a part of it and act accordingly to the will of universe." If mamma is a universe and dad is another universe, isn't it scientifically not possible for two universes to meet?

For them to meet in future, there should be only one universe which can only be mamma while I and dad can only be different energies of the universe.

Yes, this is the right thing to conclude on.

Dad heaved heavily and nodded in defeat, finally accepting to be what I want him to be.

Sigh, if he was this cordial, it wouldn't take a long time to change mamma's view on him for better.

"Igses dear, did you understand about the structure of how the abilities are lined up and how you can slowly unseal them?" Grandpa Abby drew the order of the classifications of powers and abilities we hold in the previous class.

He asked me to read and understand the depth of it and so I did. It was not really hard to understand it.

Only, the abilities that were mentions in the list are not something that I ever heard of. So he asked me to first read them so he can explain clearly what each one of it means.

"Yes. There is so much we can do but some of the spells are boring too."

"Boring?" I nodded.

"Some of the abilities are too standard and are not creative at all. When I get a new ability or when I use my powers, I usually fiddle with them and try to bend them a little at will. I like to try out new paths with new abilities. I love to be creative." I sat down beside him on the couch and told him slowly.

The reason I like to paint is because I can let my imagination run and use it to create something that hasn't been in the world yet. To me, abilities are same too.

It is too boring to follow the standard narrow path and use them in textbook way. If we don't try out new things, how would we know if it is possible or not?

This is something mamma has always told me and encouraged me to try out new things in order to know and learn with open mind.

"What you said makes sense. Back at our place, we were used to follow the solidly set path so we did not realize that we can bend the powers and try something new. Since you want to do it, how about we make a deal?" I blinked at grandpa Abby when he mentioned about a deal.

"What kind of deal?"

"I shall teach you the theoretical part and your father here with teach you the practical part. Although he cannot use his powers as of now, he is still the most powerful in supernatural realms, he can guide you in practical presentation of your powers. In return, you learn them and try expand them creatively. If successful, then teach them back to me and your father. Is this a good deal?"

I thought for a while and nodded my head affirmatively. "I can learn easily. Grandpa Abby, you are so smart and wise so you can learn from me easily too, can – can he learn quickly too? Can he grasp the concept quickly?" I intentionally whispered the last sentence, yet made sure dad can hear it.

Without missing a beat, I felt a hand tap the back of my head gently as I heard from above, "When I was your age, I was even able to take down the most ferocious men of the tribe. Say, can I learn well?"

I spread my hands, with a shrug; I looked up at him as an idea suddenly popped in my mind. "Alright, since it is a deal, then how can I not accept it."

"What crafty ideas are you making up in your mind?" I felt my body being lifted up in air suddenly and soon I was sitting on the lap of the person who apparently is my father.

I would've gotten down and kept some distance between us but remembering how mamma is being tolerant with him and how there might be a chance for him to join mamma's universe, I slowly relaxed my body.

If dad is tamed well, then mamma will have a good bodyguard by her side. After all, keeping her safe is my first lifelong goal.

"Grandpa Abby, since I am learning from you, I am your disciple and you are my master right?" I asked innocently making sure I don't show my intentions on my face clearly.

Grandpa Abby once again smiled widely and nodded in affirmation. "In that case, if I were to teach someone, then I should also be called master right?" I probed as I deliberately stole few glances at the man on whose lap I am currently sitting on.

Grandpa Abby pressed his lips as he smiled widely and anyone can tell that he is stopping himself from laughing. However, before he could say anything I continued.

"Since you are alright my master, you cannot be my disciple. However, other than you, some else should call me master to learn skills from me." I said finally looking back at dad who staring down at me with such disbelief that I can tell by just looking at him that he questioning his life choices right now.

To call your son, master, is definitely amazing.

Of course, it is amazing for son but it might not be the same for the concerned father.

"You want me to be your disciple? Remember that I will be teaching you the practical part of the lessons?" Aiyah, dad, if you want me call you dad and accept you, help you win over mamma, do you think it is easy?

Since this is what mamma also wants in her heart secretly, I can only make it more enjoyable.

"You are only revising your experiences. My actually teacher and master is grandpa Abby. Or, are you on the same level as grandpa Abby?"

After staring down at me grimly for few moments, he gritted out, "You inherited all the cunningness from your mamma. I thought she was a little fox but you are several steps ahead of her."

"What can I do? I got the best of you both. Alright, if you want to learn, call me master in future. If I am satisfied with your performance, I might reward you with something that can help you win mamma's good points." And before I can complete the whole thing, I heard his hurried and excited voice without skipping a beat.

And what he said caused me to be both shocked and smug.

"Master. As you say, master."

Hahahaha! Mamma, just leave dad to me. I will turn him into a big comfortable teddy bear and gift him back to you.
