Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Commotion

Finally, it was Michael's first birthday celebration. The days flashed by super fast, all because of a little incident that happened in his crib. Somehow, there were burns and water marks on the wall. It was tiny, but it was enough to cause alarm throughout the whole household. They quickly found out that it had traces of magic, meaning someone cast a spell in the room of the young master. Even though it was a minor incident, his mother acted like Michael was subject to a botched assassination. Maids were doubled, security was tripled, and Michael was forced to sleep in his mother's room for the time being. Michael thought it was an overreaction, but he learned from the maids that this little incident was the talk of the whole nation. Magic investigators quickly found out that the spell came from only one person, and was cast at the same time. No big deal, Michael thought. But then he found out that having multiple elemental mana was considered extremely rare. Having dual elements would land you into the genius category while having three elements could be considered as transcendent talent. But having all four elements? That was the talk of legends. Somehow or someway, this once - in - a - thousand - year genius sneaked into the youngest son of the Vanderbilt family and cast four harmless 1 - star spells. It didn't make sense. It was then that Michael decided to be a little bit more careful with his spells. Who knew how they would react when he revealed that he was the one who cast those spells, all while being a baby? Soon, the fanfare died down. Since nothing was stolen and no one was hurt, the authorities chalked it up to some weird natural phenomenon. But of course, his mother couldn't help but brag to her friends about how her son was 'blessed'. It was quite interesting to see how fast she changed. One second, she was worried sick, but the moment the investigators told her it was a natural phenomenon, she was all smiles and talked about how God personally blessed Michael with talent. Michael decided to tell her the truth when he got older.
