He was also a little glad that there were not many customers at the restaurant. According to his classmate, Edward, that was one of the reasons they chose this restaurant since, aside from the affordable prices was that it wasn’t too popular, and that meant they could eat in peace.
After the owner agreed, Anton summoned his Globe of Browser sharing and projected the recording of the last hour of battle between the ship’s mages and the powerful sea creatures that attacked the Amelia.
Since the projected screen was large enough, the other customers started watching as well especially when they learned what they were watching.
Anton was a bit shocked, though, when after a couple of minutes, the restaurant was suddenly filled with people. Apparently, he again underestimated the capabilities of the people of this world. He did not know how they spread the news that some sort of video would be shown at this restaurant. It might be some sort of communication magic, and if it was, he would have to find some so he could talk to his family even if they were not together. Communication by letter using his Raven summon was so old-school.
He had seen the battle multiple times since he wanted to study the spells that the ship’s mages cast during the battle to get some inspiration from them when it was time for him to modify his Diablo II spells. So, instead of watching the recording, he watched the audience’s reactions instead.
As expected, his classmates' reaction was the same as the reaction of the mages in his family. Shock, desire, ambition, greed, and more all rolled into one. He could understand since he felt the same way. He wanted to become very powerful, and showing off your power was a standard behavior of those who had that power.
The audience did learn that the battle they were looking at was the one the ship’s mages did with the sea creatures and all of them appreciated the fact that those who were defending the Amelia were powerful. That made them feel secure.
After the recording ended, Anton went to the owner to pay for their meals but the restaurant owner declined saying that watching how the ship’s mages defended their temporary home while traveling to the new continent was payment enough and not only that, the restaurant owner said that because of this event, they would probably have more customers.
Anton said goodbye to his classmates and returned home to the suite. When he arrived there, he was thankful that Anna and the others had just arrived as well, and that meant that he would not receive any complaints from his sister regarding not being there when it was time for them to practice their magic.
He went inside his room and entered his Diablo II system. The first thing that he did was enchant some of the sculptures that he bought, but after creating just one item, he was disturbed by knockings on his door.
“What is it?” Anton asked Frederick, who was knocking.
“It’s the Archmage Denube. He wanted to talk you about the recording of the battle that you took.”
Anton went to the living room, where Archmage Denube was waiting.
“How can I help you, Sir Denube?”
Anton remembered that the Archmage Denube was the Supreme Atrosnu’s assistant.
“I brought the payment for the mana storage table.” The archmage then gave Anton a pouch full of gold coins.
Anton didn’t mind that they were supposed to return the table to him since the one they commissioned was supposed to be delivered to them after a few weeks.
“The supreme wizards also requested a copy of your recording of the battle with the sea creatures. We also had recorded images as well but apparently, the quality of your recording was infinitely better.”
“I can give you a copy of the recording, but please transfer the images immediately since the spell that I’m using will produce a small globe, but we’re using that small globe for our cinema, and also I only managed to record the last hour of the battle,” Anton said.
The Archmage Denube simply nodded, so Anton deleted the small globe that contained the Star Wars Episode IV and gave a small globe of browser with the recording of the battle. The Archmage was about to leave when the man noticed the mana power bank mirror.
“What is that?”
“It’s a magic item that has the same function as the table that the ship’s mages purchased from our family.”
“Is that the reason why your rooms are saturated with mana?” Denube asked, and Anton simply nodded.
“You are an amazing item enchanter, Sir Sunder,” Denube said then the man left.
Before returning to his room, Anton gave the pouch full of gold to Lunelle and asked her to give it to his father and Lunelle just nodded and went back to casting her spells at the magic mirror. Looking at Lunelle casting spells at the mirror, he almost expected her to say the famous line, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall…” which made him laugh internally.
Anton continued creating enchanted items until he had made three of them then he created a Barbarian character so he could start leveling it up. He was excited to level up a Barbarian since the character would increase his physical might and, supposedly, the skills that the Barbarian could cast were all physical-based.
He wondered if he would also turn muscular if he used some of the Barbarian’s skills, even if only for the duration of the spells. That would be fun. He stopped leveling his newly created Barbarian character an hour before dinner so he could practice his music. He did reach level seven, but the low-level spells did not cause any changes on his body. He wasn’t discouraged since the skills that he knew that those who might have special effects on his body would be the high-level skills.
After recording one of his favorite songs, he checked the list of covers that he had, and it had reached nine songs. He planned to compile them into some sort of album when they reached around twelve songs. It was a useless hobby, but it amuses him so he would go ahead and do it.
Anton did have a little talent when it came to music when he was back on Earth, but he had to admit that most of the talent that he had right now probably came with this body that he inherited. The musical talent was probably magnified because of the training and technique that he was learning from the music lessons that he was receiving from the internet.
When he was done with his music practice, Anton went outside his room and joined his family for dinner. The family opted to eat dinner at the suite so they could watch the next film in the Star Wars series immediately after dinner so once everyone was satiated, Anton started Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
Everyone enjoyed the film and Antonia told him that she was confused why he told them that the Star Wars films had some boring elements and that some of the graphics not comparable to the new sci-fi films since based on their opinion, the two movies from the Star Wars film franchise that they had seen so far were great.
Anton realized that he couldn’t judge the films based on himself since as a former citizen of Earth, he was jaded when it came to the graphics of movies while the citizens of this world were all newbies in terms of their viewing experience.
