'My s.h.i.+rt is ripped'

When he turned into Lambert not only did his length increase but also his width not to mention the muscles that sprout out of him making his arms as broad as a normal man's waist. All in all his s.h.i.+rt was torn all over his chairs and his sleeves were none existent.

Lambert went into the bathroom and locked the door behind him before ripping off his torn clothes, though the pants and shoes didn't get totally destroyed it still got torn so he didn't see any need to be careful and just tore everything from his body.

What leid underneath was a very well trained body, the muscles rippled with unmatched power with silver lines crossing over it making almost understandable magic circles on his body and scars that told tales of countless b.l.o.o.d.y battles, one of the most desirable ones was a ma.s.sive gash where on his abdomen and at the same location on his back, telling of a mortal wound inflicted on him long ago.

Lambert took out some clothes from his pocket dimension which comprised a pair of white sneakers, a white s.h.i.+rt, and gray sweatpants, and hoody.

Satisfied Lambert once again made his way downstairs and left the house, taking a walk around town.

'It's almost time for the Orders debut, though it was hastily prepared it should wor, at the very least there is no chance of it being annihilated since I can handle myself very well while protecting Aura is unnecessary since she is powerful in her own right, Tosca thought is the one that worries me, she is still too weak to look after herself this is the one in danger when the Order reveals itself.'

Lambert walked into a cafe and sat at an open table while waiting to be waited on, a waiter came in no time.

"Here's the menu, please let me know when you are ready to order", the waitress said with a sweet smile, she was a young girl probably in her early teens with bright sparkling eyes filled with youth.

"Making some extra money as a waitress?", Lambert asked before the waitress could go.

"Yes, girls got things to buy" the girl replied cheerfully before leaving.

Lambert smiled as she left and turned his attention to the menu, 'I think I should just get a coffee. I will have to make sure I give Tosca something to protect her, maybe a protection talisman or I can enchant her robe with some very potent defenses, but that will cost a lot of resources just thinking of the number of resources I will have to stea... hum confiscate for a greater purpose, makes my head hurt. Maybe I should get a cappuccino. A defensive talisman is probably the best no need for unnecessary effort, as long as the talisman is strong enough it will be no problem.'

Lambert called the cheerful waitress over, she came with a spring in her step as she asked, "What can I get you?"

"A cappuccino please"

She wrote down in a small notepad, "Will that be all?"

"Yes"

"Please wait just a moment and I will bring it right up"

'Let's see from all the things I can give Tosca, I thing the Greater defensive talisman I have will work, I should also give her a staff of her own with a s.p.a.ce ring and another ring with a three-time use attack charge within, yeah I'll do that after I get back home. Should probably head back after finis.h.i.+ng my cappuccino, walking is fun but can't let me get distracted from my duties.'

"Here you are", the waitress said as she gave me a small cup of cappuccino, "Is there anything else", she asked

"No, that will be everything thank you"

Staring down at my cappuccino after the waitress left I could only give a wry smile, 'So much money for such a small cup, It almost breaks my heart', Lambert thought as he sipped the cappuccino with while crying silently in his heart.

Finis.h.i.+ng the cup, Lambert stood up and went to the counter to pay for the cappuccino, and left afterward, making his way back home.

Lambert opened the door to his house, entering he found Tosca and Aura sitting on the couch with some snacks in between them and watching a movie on the television.

'So much for getting ready for the trip, though there probably isn't much to prepare since I have most of the things in my pocket dimension.'

"Tosca, can you come here for a moment", Lambert called the little girl. Tosca climbed of the couch and approached him.

"Yes, Master," she said cutely as she smiled.

"I have something for you"

"...", Tosca's eyes began s.h.i.+ning as she waited in antic.i.p.ation, Aura who heard what Lambert said also came closer to see what Lambert will be giving Tosca.

Lambert took out the first item, it was a golden pendant with a red jewel in the middle, he hung it around her neck.

"This is a greater defensive talisman, if you are ever attacked it will absorb damage, the amount of damage it can absorb at once is quite large but it will not be able to continuously do so and will need time to rest and recharge its manna to work at optimal percentage again"

Tosca stared at the talisman with eyes s.h.i.+ning and her mouth turned into a huge toothy grin, but before she could say anything Lambert took out two more items, both were rings. One had a black jewel in the center with little light specs within it and the other one had three purple jewels in it, the purple almost seemed to move said there was a fire trapped inside. Lambert put both rings on her right and left middle finger.

"The black jewels ring on your right finger is a s.p.a.ce ring and can hold up to five cubic meter's s.p.a.ce of things, the ring on your left hand is an enchanted item with three charges of attack magic embedded within when you finished the three charges I will have to either recharge it manually or you will have to wait until it recharges manually. I can do it in an instant but it will take about three hours per charge if it did so manually. The spell released is a [TENTH-TIER] [h.e.l.l FLAME SPARK], quite effective in doing major single target damage."

Tosca's brain started spinning at all the information she was given and the gift that this strange Master of hers was bestowing on her.

Lambert was not finished yet as he pulled out the last item he had for her, it looked like a normal wooden staff except it was beautifully polished, he handed it to her and she instinctively took it while still in a daze.

"This is a staff made from a fallen branch of one of the oldest trees in the grove of Elsadar, it has the ability to speed up the speed of once spell casting by one-hundred percent while reducing any spells cast by it up to [SEVENTH-TIER] by half."

Having finished Lambert waited for Tosca to respond. After some time Tosca finally came from her daze.

"M-M-Master, this... this is too much", she cried out as she looked at the things given to her.

Lambert shook his head, "When I reveal our existence there might come times where it will become very dangerous, Aura and I can handle ourselves but you are still young and have not even properly started with your training, thus this is necessary for your protection."

Tosca was speechless, all these things was given to her because her Master was worried she would get hurt in the events about to happen, she had never felt such kindness before even though this Master isn't overly obvious with his affection, she can still feel it in these obscure things he does to help her and Aura.

"T-thank you", Tosca said as tears started falling from her eyes.

Lambert smiled at her, "What's with the waterworks, you need to be tougher if you want to become a powerful magic caster like Aura, now let's get going"

"Yes", Tosca said as she wipes the tears from her eyes and followed her Master.

Aura, who had been silent the whole time smiled and followed the two, she wasn't surprised that her Master would give these things to Tosca, in fact, she would be shocked if he didn't give Tosca something to protect herself, the reason she knew he would dod this is because he had always been this way. He had always looked after those under his wing, no matter what he would protect them to his dying breath.

The trio converged in Lambert's room where he had already readied the Magic circle which would teleport them to where Cleria was or more precise where the Red token he gave her was.

Lambert had changed his clothes and was now wearing a suit, with his long silver-white hair tied in a ponytail with a string.

"Are you guys ready", Lambert said as the trio stood in the circle.

Aura and Tosca both nodded, having already dressed in there robes he had given them.

"Ok then, let's go"

And with a flash from the circle they disappeared.
