Chapter 1879: We'll Only Have The Strength To Argue After We Are Full
"Meow~"
Ugly Duckling, which was lying on the counter lazily, stood up immediately and pricked its ears up. Then, it leaped down the counter, and dashed to the door. It jumped up to grab the handle, and bumped the door open with its eight kg weight and skills.
Outside of the door, Amy was carrying a big trophy. She caught Ugly Duckling, which threw itself into her arms, and held it under her armpits. While rubbing its head, she said disdainfully, "Ugly Duckling, you've got fat again! Also, don't damage my trophy. This is pure gold, which is much more expensive than you."
Mag came to the door before Amy, who was wearing a brand-new magician robe, and smilingly said, "Our Little Amy is home so early."
"Father!"
Amy dumped Ugly Duckling aside, and raised the trophy up high. "See! I got the championship and a big trophy!"
Mag's smile got even bigger when he saw that the little one had a "praise me" expression written all over her face. He said smilingly, "Little Amy is awesome."
"Teehee." Amy instantly smiled happily. Then, she rubbed her little tummy, and aggrievedly said, "Can you make delicious food for Little Amy, please? Little Amy's tummy is growling."
"Of course. What do you want to eat? Father will make it for you." Mag nodded smilingly before taking the big trophy from her. The heavy trophy wasn't made of pure gold, but it had to be made from an even more precious material than gold. Looking at the two rows of tiny bite marks, Mag was stunned for a moment before he realized what happened to the trophy.
"Oh, yes, where's Teacher Krassu? Didn't he come back with you?" Mag asked.
"He went to look for Teacher Urien. He went next door after he sent me to the door." Amy pointed to the magic potion shop.
"He shouldn't have eaten breakfast, either, right?" Mag asked.
"Yes. He hasn't had breakfast yet, since I woke him up to send me home." Amy nodded.
"Alright, come in." Mag nodded with a smile.
"Mm-hmm." Amy skipped in. She rushed forward happily when she saw Irina and Annie. "Mother! Big Sister Annie! I missed you guys~"
Irina put Amy on her lap after she hugged Annie and smiled at her. "Little Amy is so awesome. You have broken all of Mother's previous records."
"I heard from Teacher Krassu that you were the champion in the past too." Amy nodded.
"Yes. I thought nobody could break my records, but I didn't expect my daughter to break my records eventually. It proves that I am really outstanding." Irina nodded with pride on her face.
"I think I also have half of the credit." Mag interrupted.
"Mm-hmm. Your back office support is indeed not bad." Irina nodded.
Mag looked at Amy, and smilingly asked, "Tell me, Little Amy, did you use the close combat magic or long-range offensive magic more frequently at the Magic Caster Tournament?"
As the close combat magic's actual combat instructor for Amy, Mag modified and improved the close combat magic that Amy learned from Krassu. He made it more practical while ensuring the close combat magic's explosive power at the same time.
Krassu's close combat magic was simple and violent as it depended on the powerful suppressive magic that was exerted during the melee.
Meanwhile, Amy was more like a magic swordsman. She would search for an opportunity to strike effectively. At the same time, she could maintain the high explosive power during a melee while she attacked precisely.
"About half each," Amy pondered seriously. "But most of the time I used close combat magic to conclude the battle."
"Father will make you fried rice now. Then, our family of four will go out for a vacation." Mag went into the kitchen, feeling rather smug.
Irina wasn't annoyed. She looked at Amy smilingly, and continued, "Let our champion tell us what other interesting incidents happened."
"A big guy appeared in the children's category. He defeated all the children, and then got the championship in the children's category. I defeated all the adults, and got the championship in the adults' category. Then, he got laughed at," Amy said with a smile.
"That is really one miserable youth category's champion." Irina also laughed after she heard that. She remembered that the youth category's champion when she won the tournament also looked older than her. It was really funny when he looked ashamed standing next to her.
Mag carried a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice and savory tofu pudding out before he packed a few dishes and a bottle of 50 years old rum, and sent them to the magic potion shop next door.
Before Mag entered, he already heard Krassu and Urien talking loudly. Although their decibels were as high as usual, the ambiance of their conversation sounded friendly for the first time.
Krassu laughed loudly as he said, "You didn't see Richard's face. It was bloody red when our precious disciple sent his disciple out of the arena. He couldn't speak for a long time…"
"That old chap always thought he had taken in a few precious disciples. Amy has really done us proud." Urien's slightly hoarse voice also sounded rather excited.
"Isn't it so? Even both of us old chaps couldn't match Amy's talents. She has only just broken through the 7th-tier, and she can already easily deploy the Frost Domain and her self-invented fire magic. Her fighting style is completely unpredictable. No one was her match at the Magic Caster Tournament. It's extremely like my style."
"Ptui! That is obviously my style! If it weren't for the Frost Domain, Amy wouldn't have disarmed Richard's disciple's magic so easily."
"Rubbish! If Amy had used the Flame Domain, that kid would have been roasted long ago. How could he have hidden himself for so long?"
Mag quickly went in with the takeaway box when he heard the two of them start to argue. He looked at the two masters who were arguing over the counter with a smile. "Both of you masters are indeed here."
Krassu and Urien turned to look at Mag together, and restrained their emotions.
"It's due to both your teachings that Amy was able to get the championship. I have fried a few dishes, and brought along a 50 years old rum to show my appreciation." Mag put the takeaway box and rum on the counter, and then took the dishes one by one out from the box.
The cut-up beggar's chicken was still steaming. The spicy crayfish still had its pincers up. The red oil was drizzled over the plate of sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce. Finally, there was a little pot of congee with pork and century egg at the very bottom.
Gulp.
The Adam's apples of both masters moved at the same time. Although it was still early in the morning, they couldn't control themselves when the aromas tickled their noses.
"Please enjoy your meal, Masters. I will bring Amy out for a trip later, so I have to go now." Mag smilingly went away after pouring out the rum for them.
Krassu and Urien looked at each other, and then at the dishes and rum in front of them.
"Let's eat first before we argue. We'll only have the strength to argue after we are full." Krassu gave in first. He scooped a bowl of congee for himself first, and started eating.
Urien, too, picked up a beggar's chicken drumstick after hesitating for a moment. After taking a bite, the crispy skin and tender chicken meat instantly woke up the morning's lazy taste buds!
The tense atmosphere was eased by the food and drinks.
