Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3686

Chapter 3686: One of Them (Part 1)

“First of all, Aran and Leria didn’t get Awakened. They self-Awakened.” Selia turned the heat under the stew down to deal with her children without ruining their next meal. “There’s a big difference. Second of all, what’s the big deal?

“You are still growing. Give yourselves a bit of time, and you’ll naturally reach the green. Awakening makes little difference for you since you are already stronger than human kids and can use true and fusion magic.”

“But we can’t use Life Vision!” Leran protested.

“And Fire Vision! And Invigoration!” Lilia nodded.

“And I’m hungry!” Even though Fenrir had just finished her breakfast, her mouth watered as the delicious smell of the stew wafted to her nose.

“Will you stop yelling in my ears?” Selia grabbed Fenrir and put her down, scowling at her other two children as her patience was reaching the breaking point.

“I’m sorry, Mom…” Leran lowered his gaze in embarrassment.

“It’s alright, dear.” Selia sighed in relief. “Just don’t bring Awakening up again.”

“But I’m hungry too.” He finished the phrase and destroyed the huntress’ illusion of victory.

“I could eat some stew.” Lilia said as her stomach growled.

“That’s our lunch!” Selia was flabbergasted. “You ate less than ten minutes ago.”

“I could eat something as well.” Protector said from his chair, where he was reading the news on his amulet.

“You lied to me!” Her growl was so majestic that the kids applauded her. “You are no wolf. You are a locust, and our children are human-locust hybrids!”

“What’s a locust?” Lilia asked, and the other two kids nodded.

“A voracious, adorable bug.” Selia glossed over everything that could hurt her children’s feelings. “Also, if your father is here, why are you bugging me? Why don’t you go and pester him?”

“We tried, but he just said no and refused to argue.” Leran sighed. “Dad’s not like you, Mom. He’s no fun.”

“Fun?” Selia held the wooden spoon so hard that her knuckles popped. “This is fun for you?”

“Yes!” The kids replied in unison, staring at her with big smiles on their happy little faces. “You’re the best, Mom. Do the growl again!”

Selia whimpered instead of growling, but the kids still appreciated her flawless wolf impression and gave her a standing ovation.

“Come on, kids. Your mom needs five minutes of silence.” Salman said. “Come eat your stew and leave her alone.”

The Rezar set the table with Light Mastery and served the stew with water magic.

“Thanks, Salman.” The kids glared coldly at him, forming a protective circle around their mother.

Only when it was clear Salman wouldn’t approach Selia did they sit at the table and wolf down the food.

“Apologize to Uncle Salman when you’re done eating.” Ryman said, and the kids emitted a low growl in response. “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll take the kids to school and prepare another lunch when I’m back. Go relax.”

“Thanks, dear.” Selia sighed, knowing she was going to regret speaking her next words. “Guys, why are you so cold to our guest? Salman has been nothing but kind to you, and today he leaves our home. Can’t you be nice to him as a send-off gift?”

“We can’t lower our guard while a mom-stealer lives under our roof.” Lilia grunted in between gulps of stew.

“Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll protect you.” Leran nodded.

“Mom!” Fenrir dropped her spoon and jumped across the table onto Selia’s lap.
