Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

"Don't even think about using magic during a pillow fight or any other sort of fight." The matriarch immediately reprimanded the young girl, who was seeing all sorts of new possibilities now that she could use mana.

"Ha, just wait. I am going to be the strongest in the family, so I will get to do what I want. Even if Jake is older, I will still be able to win a pillow fight against him." The girl declared happily, while the rest of the kids gave her an envious look.

"No fair. Why does she get to be the strongest? I'm way stronger than she is." One of the other girls pouted as the sound of the door closing and someone walking in behind Wolfe echoed through the house.

"So this is what you get up to if left unattended for even five minutes? You awakened a twelve-year-old." The Captain demanded as she realized what was going on.

"Nobody said I couldn't. Plus, she's going to be a really good witch when she grows up. But to answer the first question, she gets to be the most powerful because she went first, and only one of you gets to be the most powerful in the end. You can all try to beat her, though. If she gets lazy, you might overtake her by the time you're grown." Wolfe replied with a smirk for the other girls in the room, stoking their sense of rivalry.

"Sorry, Mom. I should have known that something like this would happen. He's got two of them in his village now, but I didn't really process that he could just do it whenever he wanted." The Captain apologized to the older woman, who just chuckled and handed the little girl a cloth.

"Clean up the mess you made on the floor. I don't want that to stain. I don't think that she will be a problem, but no awakening anyone younger than that. If we had magic-using toddlers, I don't think the house itself would survive."

Having a daughter awaken early was worthy of celebration, and the older woman was looking forward to the look on the mother's face when she realized that her shy younger daughter could now use magic.

The girl was the daughter of one of the oldest of the matriarch's children, who was currently at the park with the boys, making sure that they didn't get in trouble, so she wouldn't find out until dinner.

Wolfe went to his backpack and transferred Stephanie from the top pocket to his shoulder so that she didn't hide away all night, and then dug out a pen and notepad. He quickly scribbled the activation inscription for [Levitation] on it and then walked back over to the young witch that he had just purged the curse out of.

"Hold out your hand. I will give you a present." He whispered, then handed her the folded note with a not-too-subtle wink.

"I saw that. What new trouble are you trying to cause for my sister?" The Captain complained.

The little one smirked when she saw the circle and the short note that Wolfe had included on how to use it, then activated the spell to steal a cup of iced tea from one of her siblings.

She took a deep gulp, emptied the glass, and smiled at her aunt. "He's no trouble at all. It's just a present."I think you should take a look at

The Captain sighed, then looked at her mother. "I guess his actions have overshadowed my news. A mana-gathering array has been activated for the village. It will take some time to build up to the maximum density, but the village should have at least twice the mana of the surrounding areas once it is fully activated."

"I think that the two go together very well. There is a powerful new witch in the family, and she will get all the extra mana to grow up with. It's like double good news. This calls for a celebratory dinner. We should have stopped to hunt something on the way back." Wolfe offered.

"We have plenty of food. Don't forget that we are witches too. We might not be as crazy powerful as I am told the ones in your village are, but we can still grow a decent garden and get our own meat." An ancient voice informed them from the other room.

The Grandmother must be off work now and back at the house. Wolfe hadn't heard her come in, but a house this size likely had multiple doors she could have used without disturbing anyone.

"I'm sure that you can. But it's only polite if the guests don't show up empty-handed." Wolfe told her with a wink while the old woman went over to inspect her great-granddaughter.

"Oh, I think you didn't. You just enjoy causing chaos while you have free time.  What was it that you did to her, though? Is it a spell effect that will wear off with time?" The old woman asked.

"No, I purged the Bloodline Curse from her. In essence, I pardoned her from the legacy of the witches' role in the war. So, she will grow up as she was supposed to and reach her natural potential as easily as any witch could." Wolfe explained.

That news shocked the adults and older children in the room so much that they had to sit down for a moment before anyone could speak. Even the Captain, who had seen what he could do before, hadn't heard it put that way before, and the thought of it was enough to blow her mind.

"So, if she is forgiven. Does that mean her children will be as well?" The grandmother asked curiously.

"If the father is also forgiven, I would say yes for sure. But honestly, I have no idea if the curse will return to the next generation if both parties aren't purged, and I don't know how to purge the curse from male witches since, unlike female Demons, they can't use mana at all, and I cleansed the curse using her mana veins." Wolfe explained.

"Interesting. You have given us a lot to think about and a lot of eager children who want what she has." The ancient witch replied softly, already running low on energy after a long day at work.

"Take a seat, Elder. I'm told that dinner is coming soon, and we can talk about working a deal to expand this [Favor] to the whole family's children."
