Wait, have I been discovered already? Did he really sense that I was lying or is he bluffing?
"Huh, What do you mean dad?"
"We both know what you're hiding, just out with it. It will be easier if you tell her about it."
"Awww, I thought I could trick you atleast till we were done eating breakfast, My eyes have been pulsating and hurting a bit..."
"here let me have a look."
It was really awkward having Seilena inspecting my eyes with a magnifying glass and everyone else looking at me.
"I do know what's happening to his eye, although I don't know exactly what the result will be. However I am around 99% sure that it's not something bad, but instead something good."
"What's happening is that a large amount of mana is gathering in your eyes and it seems that your eye color is starting to change because of it. Your new eyes right now are green and has gold-ish spikes coming from the pupil."
My eye color is different now? Oh well I'll go take a look at that later.
Wait why did it look like glass shattered in front of my eyes? Is that a magic barrier? Oh I'm guessing he formed a magic barrier around my eyes to make sure that my eyes wouldn't explode and kill me, but still being careful and teleported my mom away. I'm guessing from what I've seen so far he's a loving and caring father.
"Either way you better tell us next time you start feeling something unusual, otherwise I'm gonna make sure you don't leave your room for a month."
"Well there's one thing..."
"What is it?"
"I can feel my hands and body trembling and shaking, almost like I could stay up weeks in a row without sleep."
It feels really weird, It's feels as if I've just drank like 50 Monster Energy drinks 10 minutes ago.
"What!? already!?"
"Huh? Is that bad dad?"
"No it's not something bad I just got a little surprised, it's something that usually happens to twelve year olds. Yet you're still only 5 years old."
"When this phenomenon happens the mana inside the person goes rampant and does what we call an overcharge. The overcharge is kind of like a spell but has more destructive power."
"The earlier the phenomenon and the more destruction power the spell has the more potential the person has."
"When did you have your overcharge dad?
"I was around 8.5 years old when I had mine, and it had the power to kill a B-rank monster in one hit. I have only ever heard of one person have their overcharge when they were seven, much less 5."
"This information isn't leaving this room ok? If other countries were to find out about this they'd all wage war with eachother to get you or to kill you."
"Either way we're skipping breakfast, Intra teleport us to Shiki mountains."
In the next moment everything turned white for a moment, then in the next moment I was above the clouds on a really tall mountain.
"Where are we? And where is Mom and the others?"
"We are at Shiki mountains, a week's walk north from the mansion. It takes a lot of mana to just teleport three people this far, much less three more."
"Why are we even here?"
"We are here because the person that had their overcharge at the age of seven's overcharge could even kill top-tier A rank monsters. Much less 5, I'm guessing yours could even one-shot SS-ranked monsters."
"Thank god you told us in time, Otherwise it could have caused a disaster that killed tens of thousands of people."
I mean I know I told god to give me outstanding talent, but isn't this a bit much? Like really? I'm able to one-shot S-ranked monsters with just my overcharge at the age of five?
"Intra, contact all of the kingdoms court magicians and tell them to teleport immediately to Shiki mountains."
As he said that I saw a black-ish magic barrier for around me.
"What's a court magician? And what is this magic barrier for?"
"Court magicians is our kingdoms strongest mages and can only be tasked to do something if it's incredibly important. And since you are the youngest person ever recorded to have their overcharge it's incredibly important. And as for the barrier you'll see soon."
In the next second I saw multiple gateways open and people coming out of them, I'd say around 20 people were at the hilltop now. Around 6 was female and 14 was male, one of the male magicians walked forward and asked:
"Pisces what's so important you've gathered all 20 court magicians in one place at the same time? I know you're also on of us, but if you're wasting our time it will still be the same punishment that everyone else gets."
"It's incredibly important, my kid here is having his overcharge."
"you're calling all of us out here just because your son is having his overcharge? Do you know the crime for wasting a court magicians time? Not to mention all of us?"
"Ok then how about we play a game? The person that guesses his age without seeing him gets him as their apprentice, However if no one guesses it right on the first try he'll become all of your apprentices."
"Why would we want him as our apprentice? If we guess right can we choose your title as count instead?"
"Yes if you'd really want the count title instead then sure."
"Ok start guessing."
They all started guessing numbers with the lowest being at 6.5 and the highest being at 9.
"You're all wrong."
"Did you really summon all of us here just for someone with worse talent than you?"
"Nope, Today is my son Ted Von Viril's 5th birthday."
As he said that the black barrier around me started crackling until it eventually shattered. After sparing me a glance there was an intense pressure from all of the people around me, it was even close to making me puke.
"Wait, Is he actually going through his overcharge?"
"Yep, we should probably start preparing the barrier, If we don't it's very likely that the overcharge will blow up the entire Shiki mountains."
"This is the first time in the whole of Krinse kingdom's history that all 20 court mages make a barrier together, Let's make it the strongest barrier ever created!"
"Ted can you hold on for a bit longer?"
"I'll try my best!"
1 Minute later
My body feels as if it's gonna explode anytime soon, they gotta hurry up otherwise there's a big chance I'll explode and perish together with this mountain.
"Hurry up! I can't hold out for much longer!"
Just as I said that I saw all the faces of the court magicians turn extremely serious as they pushed their limit to the max, some were even starting to tremble. After around five seconds though a beautiful multi-colored magic array formed around my body and another one that formed a circular shape twenty meters in diameter with me in the middle.
I'm guessing they are putting a barrier around me so the blast won't kill me, and at the same time putting a barrier that is going to take the full blast of the attack. I can understand why all of the magicians (including my dad and uncle) started to look sick, they had to create 2 barriers that could withdstand an attack from a top-tier SS-ranked overcharge. Even though all of these magicians could cast SS-tiered spells it was much harder to make a magic barrier than to cast regular spells. Even low rank S-tiered magic barriers were a difficult task to do for these mages, not to mention two top-tiered SS-ranked barriers at the same time.
"We're done you can release the overcharge now."
