Mystical Fantasy : The Lazy Real Young Master [EN]

Nine at night.

The sky had long gone dark.

The Virellano mansion... was empty and quiet.

Al woke up in his room, exhaustion still clinging to his body.

He still wanted to sleep, but after checking the time, he decided to head downstairs first and kidnap some food before going back to bed.

The moment he stepped out, something felt off.

Usually, at this hour, there would still be gossiping voices from his sisters or the sound of the TV echoing through the mansion.

But tonight?

Nothing.

Just silence.

And as expected, one of the passing maids informed him,

"Everyone went out for dinner, Young Master. They’re celebrating the end of the national exams for Young Master David... and also for you."

Al frowned slightly, not expecting his name to actually be included this time.

Meanwhile, the maid continued,

"Madam Sandra asked several servants to wake you up earlier, but there was no response from inside. Your room was locked as well."

That explanation made Al chuckle softly.

Normally, he wasn’t the type who was hard to wake up, especially with his magical senses.

But it seemed the national exams had truly left him exhausted.

Still, the next explanation made him freeze for a second.

A reaction that had already become normal for him by now... yet still felt a little bitter.

"And Young Master David said he already reminded you earlier, so in the end, everyone decided to leave without you. That’s what happened, Young Master."

David pulled something again, Al thought inwardly.

He dismissed the maid afterward.

Al only shook his head lightly.

Still... the atmosphere of a harmonious family wasn’t exactly something familiar to him yet.

But at least things were improving.

The fact that they had started involving him more often could become the first step toward true integration into the family.

He let out a slow breath before enjoying the remaining food left behind for him while casually opening his black phone.

A quick check to see if there was anything urgent... or anything that required him to personally step in.

Coincidentally, a call came in.

Its ringtone thundered loudly as usual—a signature sound Al recognized instantly.

He picked it up right away.

Not long after...

A faint smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Alright."

The call ended.

Al stood up.

Without wasting any time, he finished his food before quickly changing clothes.

Casual.

Simple.

But still classy.

Then he jumped straight out through his bedroom window—

To do something he normally never did.

---

Elsewhere—

At Aria Dining, a high-end elite restaurant bathed in golden lights.

The Virellano family was currently enjoying their desserts.

Edward, Sandra, Sarah, Vianna, Clarista, and David were all present.

Except for Aurielle, who was still busy dealing with company matters, everyone had come.

Including Fani—who was now considered an important part of David’s success.

Lysha and Nayla joined through video call.

Unfortunately, Elena still hadn’t connected yet. She seemed to still be busy.

The atmosphere was warm.

Lively.

A picture-perfect harmonious family gathered in one frame.

And David was enjoying every second of it.

Especially because Al wasn’t here.

Earlier, he had been asked to notify the others about tonight’s dinner, including Al.

David knew Al was already home.

But he deliberately claimed he hadn’t seen him and even pretended he had already sent him a message—something he never actually did.

Naturally, his goal was to make the family continue marginalizing and forgetting Al.

Lately, several people had started paying more attention to Al.

And that truly irritated him.

For some reason, the person with the highest potential to ruin his plans of taking over the Virellano family’s wealth and power still hadn’t fallen after three whole months.

David’s fist tightened just thinking about it.

That cockroach... he cursed inwardly.

But in the next second, he returned to showing a perfectly genuine smile toward the rest of the family.

Time passed.

The conversation continued warmly...

Until eventually, the person who disliked Al the most brought up his name instead.

Sarah.

"But it’s honestly better that Al didn’t come. Eating at a high-end restaurant like this doesn’t suit him at all. If he came with us... he’d only stain our image."

Most of the people there subconsciously agreed with her words.

But at the same time, many of them also felt uncomfortable hearing it out loud.

Sandra’s expression immediately changed.

She looked slightly gloomy as she glanced outside the window.

"The best way for Al to adapt to elite society would’ve been bringing him here with us tonight. But he simply couldn’t be woken up," she said softly.

"Forget it. There’s no need to discuss it now. I’ll just buy him something later as compensation."

Sarah immediately showed a disgusted expression.

"He’s lazy to the core. No matter how much you train him, he’ll never fit into elite circles."

And just like that, another round of arguments began between them.

Vianna quickly sided with Sarah—not entirely because she disdained Al, but simply because she enjoyed chaos and drama.

Meanwhile, Clarista could only stay silent, already too lazy to listen.

Only Fani looked genuinely uncomfortable.

The way they talked badly about Al—the person she had already started considering her boss—was honestly irritating.

Even if Sandra and Edward occasionally showed concern toward Al...

Sarah’s look of contempt, Vianna treating Al like entertainment, Clarista’s complete indifference, and...

David’s smirk.

All of it made Fani no longer want to stay there.

In the end, she stood up.

She excused herself, saying she needed to answer a phone call.

After returning, she informed them that she had to head home tonight.

Her reason was simple.

She had already told her parents beforehand that she would only stay at the Virellano residence until the national exams ended.

And now that the exams were over, she needed to return home.

A reasonable excuse.

No one suspected anything.

She said her goodbyes.

They offered to drive her home, but she politely refused, saying she was in a hurry and telling them to continue enjoying their night.

In the end, only Clarista accompanied her outside.

---

Not long after that—

Fani walked slowly along the sidewalk, quietly reflecting on the Virellano family.

Their habits.

Their treatment toward Al.

And their stupidity.

But... were they really stupid and biased?

She recalled the first time she met Al.

Back then, he truly looked no different from a messy and lazy country boy.

Before learning about his true power, even she had constantly noticed the contrast between David and Al.

And every single time, her thoughts naturally leaned toward David.

Even if her instincts had warned her otherwise.

"So I used to be just like them too..." she muttered softly. "I guess Boss himself deserves part of the blame for this."

But then she paused.

"...No. Is that really true?"

"Does someone really need to look impressive first before they deserve respect?"

Confusion filled her eyes.

In the end, she simply shook her head.

"Who knows..."

Without realizing it, she had already stopped in front of a luxurious cake shop.

And suddenly, an idea appeared.

She bought a box of cake.

"Doesn’t matter whose fault it is," she mumbled while holding the box carefully. "If your family doesn’t appreciate you... then I will, Boss."

And with a cheerful mood, she decided to return to the Virellano residence.

To meet Al.

Unfortunately...

Without her knowing, a luxurious futuristic car passed by nearby.

And inside that car, the very person she wanted to meet was currently sitting casually.

Al.

Together with Ai.

Just the two of them.

Heading toward the exact same restaurant.

---

Not long after, the two arrived.

The moment they stepped out of the car, they looked like a pair of heavenly beings descending onto earth.

Several people instantly turned their heads in awe.

They were dazzling.

Elegant.

Overflowing with authority and presence.

People from both the lower floor and upper floor couldn’t help but stare.

Including several members of the Virellano family, whose seats still had a partial view of the entrance area.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and the viewing angle too limited.

They couldn’t tell who the pair was.

But one thing was obvious.

The two of them were absolutely stunning.

Only David happened to be seated at the perfect angle to clearly see everything.

And the moment he did—

His eyes widened.

He saw the woman who had recently become his target.

Miss Aiza.

And standing beside her...

A young man who somehow looked similar to...

Al?

The cup in David’s hand trembled violently.

Hot tea spilled onto his upper thigh.

But he didn’t even feel it.

On the video call screen, Nayla was still talking, yet none of her words reached his ears.

His gaze remained locked toward the VIP entrance door that had already closed shut.

The figure resembling Al...

And the woman who was undeniably Miss Aiza...

Had already disappeared from sight.

Until—

"David? Hey?!"

Sarah’s voice snapped him back to reality.

Only then did the burning sensation finally hit him.

He jumped up in panic.

His pants were soaked.

Nayla panicked from the video call as well.

Everyone immediately stood up, trying to help him.

"What happened, Son?" Sandra asked worriedly.

"I-I... argh... hot... sorry for panicking everyone. I just... lost focus for a second..." David said while hurriedly wiping his pants.

Unfortunately, the spill location was awkward enough that nobody could really help.

The entire table descended into panic anyway.

"Sorry... Mom... Dad... Sisters... I think I’m still exhausted from today’s exam. So I ended up spacing out like this..." David added after finally calming down and sitting again.

The others understood.

Exams for elite academy students were different from normal ones.

Even if they only lasted a single day on paper, the intensity was exhausting.

Clarista remembered that feeling clearly.

Though for a bookworm like her, it had still been manageable.

She just hadn’t expected David to be this tired.

Sarah immediately stood up.

"Then let’s go home. You’re right... we got too excited celebrating your achievements and forgot that you still need rest."

But David quickly tried to refuse.

"No, Sis. We can still continue. You guys probably still wa—"

Edward cut him off firmly.

"No, David. Your condition matters more. We’re going home. That burn should be checked too."

Everyone agreed with him.

And just like that, the celebration dinner came to an end.

---

Before leaving, David asked to use the restroom first.

Supposedly to dry himself off and cool the burning sensation.

But in reality...

It was just an excuse.

With magic, handling something like that was effortless for him.

What he truly wanted was to confirm what he had seen earlier.

Who exactly was the person beside Miss Aiza?

It looked like Al...

But since when had Al ever looked that dazzling?

Vianna accompanied him, making sure he was alright while waiting not too far from the restroom area.

The moment Vianna stopped paying attention, David quietly slipped away, turned around—

And headed upstairs instead.

His footsteps slowed.

Sharp eyes scanned every corridor carefully.

Until finally...

Fortunately—

He found them.

And the sight before him...

Completely shocked him.
