Chapter 15 - Wedding and an Anomaly

Many days passed quickly, and he learned many things while also teaching himself and Tess during the weekend and other breaks. At this point Logan is most likely the strongest human being able to hold 1500x his own weight, to get past the wall of 1000x he stoped relying on just his muscles and brute forcing mana into his muscles, he instead reinforced his muscle fibers with mana by wrapping each fiber in it.

Soon the time came for summer break and in turn Annie's wedding came as well. His parents took the necessary procedures in order to take them out of school for a week, and get the work they are going to cover during their absence.

The trip back was the same as the trip there, but this time they decided to work on their work in order to not do it during the wedding. It was pretty easy compared to what they were working on before mainly because it was just review work, and covering the basics of what they were going to start that semester.

And soon they reached the house, the welcome was the same but they were more relieved that Tess returned safely and without troubles. There wasn't anything special from the last time he returned during the first day, there was only resting and dinner.

"The wedding is going to take place the day after tomorrow" Annie said to Logan and Tess after dinner. "Who is going to come" Tess asked, Logan wondered the same thing. "Just family members and some friends will come" Annie said.

The days passed quickly and the day of the wedding soon came, the maple family arrived first thing in the morning, since they had been traveling for a week they were exhausted, and requested to use the go to the guest house immediately, to rest till the wedding.

The Null family didn't let them go til they properly greeted them, in order to keep up their expectations. The oldest wasn't that tired and went to see Annie to see each other before the wedding, and to complete all the preparations.

There was another girl with him though, "Laina" she wasn't with her normal group so she didn't seem as confident, and just said "good to see you Logan" while being super awkward.

"Yeah, same here" Logan said walking away after greeting the maple family. Logan didn't care much for Laina's attendance, he already knew that she was going to come because she was also a maple. But it seems Laina didn't add things up fast enough, and was suprised to see him.

Time quickly passed till the wedding came too. The men were to dress in suits, and ladies were to dress in dresses not too extravagant. Logan dressed in a black suit, his broad shoulders looking off compared to the rest of his body and face, which Logan took advantage of to make him stand out less.

Before sitting down he complimented the bride. Weddings were similar to his last world, but they still took things from other fantasy's, in this case with the ballroom, and extravagant clothes.

Logan sat down in the middle of Tess and his older brother, complimenting both of them on their looks before turning to face the front, where the groom stood. Some of the things the weddings had from his last world were a priest of sorts, vows, and keeping the ceremony similar as well.

During Logan's years in veil, he realized his country was pretty similar to his last country, the only hierarchy was social, with knowing that his last country was considered the strongest, he wasn't that suprised when he found out that his new country was the strongest, 'after all it has a pretty similar structure to the U.S' Logan thought, and in that moment the ceremony ended.

Logan didn't care for extravagant ceremonies both here, and back on Earth, 'they waste too much money, for something that is purely used to help the higher up's sort out people'.

He went with the rest of his family to congratulate both the bride and groom. "Congratulations Annie" Logan said sincerely, Logan did think that love was pretty sweet but he never felt any emotional attraction towards anyone. He did have some emotional connection towards his family because he cared for them.

Logan decided he would figure out why he never really had much emotion later, but right now he had to focus on the wedding. In that moment Laina decided to confront Logan, "I guess we're going to see each other more" she said with a disgusted face, "trust me I don't want to see you anymore than you want to" Logan said with a distant tone. "We should at least learn to get along" Laina said, "you should first do some self reflection" Logan said walking towards the food ending the conversation.

The wedding ended as fast as it started, Annie and Cason were now officially married. For a week everyone did no work or school to continue celebrating their marriage, it was also a grace period for everyone.

After that week they had to return back to school, and both the families thought that it would be a good thing for Logan, Tess, and Laina to get closer. So they sent them to school together, it also meant that they didn't have to send an extra carriage there.

"Why do I have to be in a carriage with you for a week" Laina said after they set off, "why do you hate Logan, he did nothing wrong" Tess said. "It's because he embarrassed me in front of the entire class" Laina said glaring at Logan, "I only asked you a question" Logan said indifferently.

On the first night when Logan thought everyone fell asleep, Logan got up and went towards the forest to meditate, Laina saw this though and decided to follow and watch.

Though nothing happened for a while til Logan got up, and started to swing a sword made of metal he conjured. This came as a shock to Laina because she thought that he couldn't use metal magic, and Logan never told anyone of the magic he could use.

Logan knew that Laina was spying on him, but he thought that either Laina would think it a dream, or she would reflect on her actions.

The days passed til they reached the capital, and the usual questioning occurred, Nick asked where he has been when he went to say hello, as well as Iris and Grace questioning him in class.

The year passed by uneventfully, and near the end of the winter break, in the maple family house there was Cason getting ready to visit the Null house to pick up Annie so they could go to the capital together.

Cason and Annie met in the capital when they had a joint research project, they both worked in the magic research field, so when the project happened they got closer becoming work friends to a couple, and then married.

"Can I come with" Laina suddenly asked, "I want to ask Annie's parents something." "Alright but you're going to be staying there till school rolls around" Cason said agreeing.

After the trip they arrived in the afternoon, and coincidentally Logan and Tess were out shopping. Laina immediately requested to the butler to see the mister and misses.

When she entered the room and the butler asked Laina immediately asked, "Why is Logan like that?", "like what?" The missus asked, "why does he practice in the middle of the night, and why was there no monsters around when we went to school after their wedding?" "Oh you realized." She heard the mister mutter.

"It's fine don't worry about it right now" he said, "don't you think we should tell both of them, I mean they are both apart of the family now" the mistress said whispered to him, "ok fine".

"The thing is" he paused, "Logan has been an anomaly since he was born" he paused, "Logan is a prodigy, he first read when he was three, and he helped the knights defeat a monster at the age of twelve. And when he went to school for the first time the driver reported that there wasn't any monsters on the way." He paused to help them process all the information.

"We don't know why, but it only happens when Logan is around" he continued, "we don't know fully why, but you shouldn't try and investigate it to much" the missus said.
