64 David's Thanks!
After a brief break, Luis once again started his practice in full swing.
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *
Discharge is a Lightning Elemental Spell in which the caster will release thunder currents from all over his body, working as a protective cover for a few seconds. It even has a paralyzing effect on the enemy. But a single release consumes a lot of Mana. Although he has a few applications in mind, it's not cost-effective to use them at the expense of so much, Mana.
"If only I could keep those thunder currents from disappearing," Luis mumbled with a deep sigh.
*Sigh*
"Hm?!"
"Wait!" Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind and Luis' entire being became excited. A grin appeared on his handsome face as he uttered while rubbing his chin. "Maybe, I really can."
'Just like mana coating, where I need to have excellent control over mana to increase the destructiveness of my attacks. If I can control the electrical discharge of the discharge spell, my attack power will reach an entirely new level.'
Now that he had an idea, Luis became even more enthusiastic.
"Haha, if I can perfect this move before the entrance exam. I can give Alicia a big surprise."
Just imagining the kind of expression she would make, made Luis very motivated to work hard.
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *
"Discharge!"
*Sizzle! *

In the evening, everyone in The Suarez Manor was waiting for the arrival of Alicia's dad. While Alicia was brushing Ivy's fur and chatting with Lumine. Luis, on the other hand, was having an important conversation with his dad.
"Dad."
"Hm?"
"A week ago, I sent a list to Jack. Did you see it?"
"Those dungeons?"
"Yeah."
"Well, the acquisition of those dungeons shouldn't be a problem, and I've already let people work on it."
"!!!"
"Really?! That's good. Thanks, Dad!"
When he heard that his dad had already started working on it. Luis became a little excited. At first, he thought he might have to convince him a little. After all, the request that he made was way too expensive, even for his family.
Even if those dungeons will bring an unsurmountable number of benefits in the future. There was no basis to talk about them now. So, he had been thinking of various reasons and explanations to convince him. But who knew? His dad didn't even bother to question him and directly started working on it.
'Does he have so much trust in me?' Thinking of this, Luis became a little emotional.
Completely oblivious to Luis' inner thoughts. Ronald took out a list in front of him. "Most of them aren't a problem. But these few will be a little troublesome."
When Luis heard this, a frown appeared on his face. With their status, acquiring those dungeons shouldn't be a problem, right? The importance and value of those dungeons are not yet known. So, what's the problem? Although Luis was a little doubtful, when he read the list, he understood the reason.
"Evansville Family! and Wayne Family!"
"Hah... It's troublesome."
Ronald nodded his head helplessly and uttered, "They will not hand over those dungeons easily."
After thinking about it for some time, Luis said. "Dad, leave those dungeons aside. Just acquire the rest of the dungeons by the end of my first semester."
"That shouldn't be a problem. But what about the ones from the Evansville Family and Wayne Family?"
Although Ronald didn't understand why Luis wanted to acquire so many dungeons, specifically these. He was sure that what Luis wanted to do wasn't something simple and there must be some big purpose behind it.
After all, his son had given him a lot of surprises, and he was also curious to know what kind of surprise it would be this time. So, even if it might create some problems, Ronald was ready to trouble the Evansville and Wayne family for Luis.
Luis didn't know about Ronald's inner thoughts. But in his mind, he already had a plan for the Evansville family and the Wayne family.
"I'll do something about them," he said confidently.
Hearing Luis' answer, Ronald's eyes glinted. But before he could say anything, a loud exclamation interrupted him.
"DAD~!!"
Alicia stood up from the couch and walked towards the entrance.
That familiar dark auburn hair and that light moustache and beard. It was none other than David Raven, Alicia's father, who was standing at the entrance.
David was stunned when he saw Alicia cheerfully walk up to him and greet him with a sweet and warm smile that he had missed all these years and uttered the sentence that he had long wanted to hear.
"Welcome back, Dad."
He couldn't help but tear up at this moment. The smile on Alicia's face wasn't forced or burdened by anything. He felt as if Alicia from before her mother's death was back in front of him.
"I'm… back…"
When David said these two words. He almost choked. Tears couldn't stop falling down his eyes and the uncontrollable joy overwhelmed him.
When Alicia saw her father's tears, she understood how much pain he had been in. She wasn't the only one who lost someone. Her father also lost his wife. But she, whose mind was filled with revenge, neglected her father's happiness.
For the sake of the lost one, she forgot to care for the living.
At this moment, her heart was filled with endless sadness and guilt.
"I'm sorry, Dad."
Saying that she didn't care about anything and hugged him while crying. David gently patted her back as the memories flashed in his mind when he used to comfort little Alicia whenever she cried.
When she changed after Maria's death. He thought he could never get to see her again like this.
But now his little princess is back, showing her smile and emotions. Not pressured by the burden called revenge.
And all of this was possible because of a certain someone.
Thinking of this, David looked in a certain direction and broke away from the hug. After walking in front of the young man to whom he had entrusted his daughter's future. He said the next sentence with the most sincere and grateful smile.
"Thank you, Luis. Thank you for keeping your promise."
