The Archmagi of Technology

Chapter 33: A Test



Waking up the next day Virgil started stretching his body again. Just like before he did not stop until every part of his body felt loose. 

{Just a few more days of this and you should be able to start practicing your martial arts}

"Did anything happen while I was asleep," Virgil asked 

{No everything was fine} Sabastian replied

Leaving his room Virgil walked into the living area to find a sleeping Wally and Raven and Zatanna eating breakfast.

"Good morning Virgil," Zatanna said

"Good Morning," Raven said still not maintaining eye contact with Virgil

"Morning," Virgil said walking up to the couch 

"Wally get up," Virgil said kicking the couch

"mmmm...damn it, I was just getting to the good part," Wally groaned 

"Alright all of you follow me," Virgil said walking towards the training room

"Wait what I just woke up. Could I at least eat first?" Wally asked

"No now hurry up," Virgil replied

Entering the training room the three stood before Virgil not knowing what to expect.

"Alright, I want all of you to come at me at the same time. Your goal to get on of these straws from me," Virgil explained

"What kind of game it this?" Zatanna asked

"I want to test your limits and my own. Take the straws and you win," Virgil replied

"Yeah, I doubt you could do anything about my speed," Wally joked

"I will be fine. Just come at me with full force," Virgil replied

"I don't want to hurt you but if you insist," Wally said dashing towards me

Running at Virgil Wally believed that it would be an easy win but before he could make contact with him, he ran into an invisible force that knocked him to the ground.

"Ow...what was that?" Wally asked rubbing his head

"Come on Wally did you think it could be that easy," Virgil replied with a grin

Standing back up he ran around Virgil trying to find a way to get him, but it was like he was completely covered by the force. 

"Virgil are you sure about this...what if I summon my father. It close to my birthday controlling my strength is becoming harder," Raven said

"Don't worry I'm working on something for that. For now, just focus on trying to get these straws," Virgil replied with a reassuring smile

"Alright let's have some fun," Zatanna said with a smile launching a ball of magic at Virgil causing a small explosion. 

To their surprise it did nothing and Virgil stood there unfazed.

"Come on I as all of you," Virgil yawned taking a seat

As time went on all three continued launching different attacks but each one would bounce off or do nothing to Virgil.

It was only when Wally phased part-way through the barrier that Virgil had a look of surprise on his face. 

"Hmmm smart Wally but it won't be enough," Virgil said making another denser barrier under the first one

{I guess this is a good counter for Speedster for now} Sabastian said

(Yeah but I should still focus on getting my hands on time magic) Virgil thought

Slowly as time went on the three began to run out of energy unable to get past Virgil's barrier. Wally could not phase through the barrier's constantly changing density. Zatanna began running out of energy and already used all her strongest spells. While Raven had to stop to keep her magic in check.

"Alright we will stop here for now," Virgil said

{I finished collecting the data. They aren't bad but the current training plan they are on isn't helping them too much} Sabastian explained

(I see. Alright write up new plans for all of them) Virgil replied

"Alright you guys can go rest I have some things I have to get. I will be back in a few hours. Try not to break anything," Virgil said walking up to the three

"W...what about the game," Zatanna said out of breath

"I will write up different things to help you get better. But now bad," Virgil replied

Placing his hand on Wally and Zatanna he spoke the same spell he used on Connor. He did not think it could be useful but thanks to Alucard he would be able to keep this place hidden.

Leaving the training room Virgil went to his room and changed into his suit. Drawing a rune circle he spoke the same Latin phrase and was transported to the Belmont estate where we were welcomed by Melody.

"V you're back. Mom and Dad are waiting in the lab they sent me to grab you," Meldoy said giving Virgil a hug

"Thanks, kid. How have you been?" Virgil asked as they walked into the estate

"I'm good thanks to you. I joined my school's volleyball team and I started learning to fight from Chris," Meldoy replied with a bright smile on her face

Seeing Melody happy and doing the things she dreamed of Virgil felt his heart warm up. As Melody continued to tell Virgil about everything that ahs been going on they arrived at the Lab where a group of engineers and Alexander where standing around a table.

"Dad V is here," Meldoy said

"Ah Virgil I'm glad you could make it on short notice but we finally finished it," Alexander said moving to the side

Looking down at the table Virgil could not help but grin at his plans succeeding.
