Warlock of War: My Ares System

"AHAHAHAHAHA! Geez! You made me think I accidentally murdered your family or something!"

"P-Please! I swear I'll be good!" The little girl shouted again, and as she saw me laughing my ass off, she proceeded to get a bit angry.

She stormed towards me, jumped up, and socked me straight in the jaw, and it was so much more powerful than I had thought.

"Holy shit… You got my world spinning," I muttered before taking a knee, and as the little girl walked up to me with a mask made up of her glare, she went to go punch me again, but I caught it.

"I-I hate you! You made my big sisters and brothers exhausted! Now they won't play with me!"

"Look, we all had to go somewhere. Yes, I technically dragged them with me, but it was for their best. Also, it's their fault they didn't tell you that they were leaving,"

"They did, though!"

"Then what the hell are you here for?"

It seems my words were a bit too harsh as tears leaked from her eyes again, and she burst out into an ugly cry.

"Alright, it's my fault. I'll be sure not to take them away from you again… well, at least for now," I muttered, but thankfully the little girl didn't hear that last part, and as she reached out her hand for a firm handshake, I couldn't help but smile.

"There is no need for you to mature so fast. Your big sisters and brothers will protect you…."

"O-Okay… Shake my hand!"

"Alright, fine," I chuckled and firmly shook the little girl's hand, her eyes still a leaky faucet, but at least she was a bit happier now.

"Hey, how about you teach her some stuff about the spear. We should see if she has a talent in anything," Cy suggested as the little girl ran up to him and hugged his legs, burying her face deep into his pajamas.

"Bella already did that, and she does have some talent, but it's not overwhelming like you or Findir or even Aisa at that. I honestly thought she was alright with the dagger, but she could be a legitimate assassin if she wanted to,"

"Hmm… Okay. I guess she should just focus on her magic for now… but… I have an idea. The recruiter dude is here again, and how about we send Adele to the Magic Tower. They could easily nurture her,"

"That's a good idea as it would protect her from anybody else, and with her amount of talent and skill with magic, I'm sure she could become an elder within about seventy years or so… but, of course, she should pick. I don't want to restrict her freedom just because I said so,"

Cy stared at me with a little smirk before opening his mouth again.

"... Hooooohh… You seem to actually care for little Adelle here,"

"No, I just don't want the others to be sad that their little pet here has disappeared without her volition,"

"How rude! She's not a pet! A child is not a pet!"

I just sighed before continuing my ruthless training, and only once dinner time had come did I actually take a break.

Aisa had to drag me to my seat as my entire body was numb, though it did feel much lighter… that's most likely cause it was just numb.

"Guys, the thing that the general gave me is actually pretty useful for me. As I wasn't a mage, I just broke the staff, and the wind that came out almost killed me, but… look at this,"

All of a sudden, a blast of white wind much stronger than anything Findir had ever conjured swirled into the air.

He had a bit of trouble manipulating it, but he was able to keep it under enough control to where it didn't completely destroy the dining room.

"What is that?" Luna asked while slumping down in her chair, lazily eating the plate of food in front of her.

"What a slob," I muttered.

"Huh!? I fucking heard that! Who was that!?" Luna shouted, but everybody just kept silent as we watched the swirling wind slowly get sucked back into Findir's body.

"The name of this skill is [Spirit King's Wind], but I barely have any control over it. This is literally just a drop of the gallon of power this skill can create… and it could most likely kill me at the same time if I don't keep it under wraps," Findir explained, and mostly everybody looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"You should seal it away for now or at least practice it in small doses. It could also be a good last resort," Luna suggested after her anger had calmed down a bit.

"I don't know about that. Using that much sucked up pretty much all of my mana, and I'm scared if I blast it with full power, I'll go into the negative. If I go far enough, I'm sure all of you will know what happens next,"

"Hmm… Don't want you dying on me. You're still pretty useful," Luna smirked, but Findir did an excellent job at ignoring her.

"Anyway, I'm sure you've all heard the news of our next step. Train, train, train, and train until you become used to your new class. Also, I want you to study what you find interesting. I won't force you to study the basics but become somewhat an expert on something… that could even be Spear Theory, Magic Theory, Dungeon Exploration, Dungeon Terrain, Economics, anything that you want… So, pack as much information as you can into your brain… only then will you step onto the path of surpassing a perfect being,"

"There is no such thing as a perfect being," Bella muttered.

"Yes, there is… Are you all aware of what a god is?"

Everybody nodded their heads once, and as I leaned forward in my seat, a large smile crept onto my face.

"We'll become more perfect than that,"

Everybody disagreed, saying that they wanted to live a peaceful life after all of this was over… but that is still part of their childish naivety.

From what I've seen, that is impossible to achieve.

They'll recognize it later on, but for now, I'll let them bathe in this ideal. Ferment the idea in their mind, and only then will they be-

"Hey, are you trying to turn us into your perfect henchman? Soldiers? Servants? What's up with you? Are we really your friends?" Bella asked.

The room went silent as the realization hit me.

I was frozen. Completly frozen, unable to even twitch a muscle in my face.
