Meanwhile at the apartment where Auntie Lily and Sieg lived.
Auntie Lily came back from work a while ago and sat down in silence as she patiently waited for Sieg to return so they could celebrate.
She looked at the clock and saw it was already past 9 and she became worried.
Auntie Lily "It's getting late... Where is that boy?"
She sighed and crossed her arms
Auntie Lily "Sieg better have a good explanation when he gets back"
Suddenly—
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Someone pounded loudly on the door.
Lily quickly got up and opened it.
Auntie Lily "What's the matter?"
Teacher "Come to the Round Table immediately! I've heard Sieg stole the Stone of Sealing!"
Auntie Lily" The... Stone of sealing!!!
Meanwhile, deep within the forest at the boundaries of the kingdom, Sieg stood beneath the dark night sky.
He gazed at the glowing gemstone in his hand.
Sieg "What's keeping the teacher so long? It'll soon be midnight."
Lily and the teacher threw open the wide doors as they rushed inside, followed by several Rank 2 Magic Knights and other staff members.
The enormous hall opened before them. At its center stood a massive circular table surrounded by rows of chairs, while a larger, imposing chair stood at the head of it, reserved for the King of Knights. The walls were decorated with the insignia and banners of Camelot, giving the chamber an atmosphere of authority and importance.
The Fourth king of knights Julius sat on the large chair quietly meditating.
Knight 1 "King Julius, we can't forgive that brat, this has gone too far as a prank.
Knight 2 "That stone is an important magic artifact, it would be a major disaster if in the wrong hands.
King Julius "Find that kid now and bring him to me!"
Auntie Lily ran through the streets, her expression filled with worry as she searched for Sieg.
Lily thought. "Sieg would never do something like this... Not unless he had a damn good reason."
Meanwhile
Sieg laid on the grass as a shadowy figure approached beside him.
Sieg "Huh... Auntie Lily what are you doing here, it's too late to be outside.
Auntie Lily gave him a huge knock.
Boink!!!
Auntie Lily "I should be asking you the same thing, What trouble have you gotten yourself into stealing the Stone of Sealing. Half the kingdom is searching for you.
Sieg "Wait, really!? But the teacher told me the Round Table is dealing with a magical beast situation. He said the Stone has to be taken to a specific location before midnight."
Auntie Lily" Hold on the Teacher?!
Suddenly, metal arrows zipped through the air.
Lily sensed the incoming magic energy and reacted instantly. She raised her hand, creating a wall of water that blocked the arrows in midair.
Teacher "I'm impressed you found this place before me Miss Lily. He said walking from the shadows.
Lily "So that's how it is huh"
Teacher "Sieg, give me that artifact and I promise i won't hurt your precious auntie.
Sieg "Hey what's going on here? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TEACHER!"
Lily "Sieg don't give him that stone, He used you in order to get it for himself
Teacher "Farewell my Student" He raised his hands as he activated his magic
Teacher "Metal magic Metal Chains. Immediately metal chains erupted from the ground as they broke through Lily water wall defense and headed straight for Sieg.
Sieg stood in fear paralyzed because his magic affinity hadn't awaken yet he couldn't protect himself.
Lily "Sieg get down and close your eyes NOW!!!
THUNK!!!
Sieg slowly opened his eyes as he stared in shock.
Lily took the hit from the chains to protect Sieg. A quiet gasp escaped her lips before she collapsed.
Sieg rushed toward her as panic flooded him, her breathing was shallow.
Seig "Auntie...?
Sieg immediately ripped of his jacket and tied it around the wound to stop the bleeding.
Teacher "You should have just handed the stone to me, now look at what you've done. You magic less idiot.
Sieg wiped his tears as he stood up in silence.
Rage built into his chest — Something faint was awakening and building inside him like a volcano which could erupt at any moment.
His skin tingled, his teeth clenched as enormous magic energy started oozing out from his body. As fire started to spark around his fist.
The teacher stepped back slightly "So you've finally awakened your magic affinity.
Sieg "You hurt her, I'll make sure you pay.
The teacher thought "How does this little boy have such an enormous magic energy. It's frightening.
Without much hesitation the Teacher activated his magic "Metal magic Viper Arrows"
Five metal arrows shot through the air as Sieg dodged three of them, one stabbed his leg and he caught the other one in his hand and melted it in hot flames.
Teacher "How is that possible?"
Sieg took one step forward and then...
FWOOM!!
From the Teacher perspective Sieg's presence completely disappeared.
Teacher "Hold on why can't I sense his magic energy anymore... Unless he used a Flash Step Technique.
The teacher panicked as he turned his back to see Sieg behind him with his arm raised.
Sieg engulfed his fist with his flames and in a heartbeat landed a hard fiery punch across the teacher's face.
A massive burst of flame erupted forward sending the teacher crashing against a tree unconscious from the impact. As half of his face was covered in burnt marks.
Then suddenly the Rank 2 Magic Knights and the rest of the teaching staff gathered to the scene and they could sense Sieg's magical energy from afar.
Magic Knight "What the hell happened here?"
Sieg "Hey help me take her to the hospital she needs medical attention"
Magic Knight 2 "Don't worry I'm a healer i can save her. As he rushed toward Lily to heal her wounds.
Magic Knight 2 "She's going to be alright. Thanks to this jacket tied around the wound it stopped the bleeding. That's some quick thinking kid.
Magic Knight "Hey kid sorry but we'll have to take you for interrogation and the teacher too.
Sieg nods his head "Okay"
A Week Later
After the incident, Sieg was cleared of the theft charges involving the Stone of Sealing. The truth had been uncovered—the teacher had manipulated Sieg and orchestrated the entire incident.
The teacher was arrested and imprisoned as the mastermind behind the scheme.
Lily opened the apartment door as she went inside after being discharged from the hospital. As Sieg followed behind helping in carrying her stuffs.
Lily "Mehn what a crazy week it's been but now I'm all feeling better.
Sieg "I'm glad you're alright Auntie.
Lily "Now it's punishment time."
Sieg "Aww... Come On.
Lily "One week grounded for your actions." That slimy Teacher probably deserved what happened to him but just because you can beat him up doesn't give you the right to. Remember Sieg with great power comes great responsibility.
Sieg "I guess I'm sorry Auntie
Lily had a warm smile on her face. As she knelt down hugged Sieg tightly "Also Thank you Sieg" she said her eyes filled with tears.
Sieg hugged her back
Auntie Lilly "Now before your punishment let's continue your Rank 3 celebration and now you've awakened your magic affinity. Congratulations Sieg.
Sieg smiled "Yeah congratulations to me.
