Chapter 16 - CHAPTER 16

 After a while Ariel emerged from the room his hair tied in a bun to prevent it from entering his eyes. He settles down on the couch as he goes through a book he picked up from his parents room while he waits for his mother to come. "I'm ready" his mothers says as she comes out of the room all prepared she grabbed her pouch from the table as she held Ariel hands as they left. As they were walking to the city markets place Circe was asking her son about his time at the training ground and he was replying her with one words answer yet she was satisfied that he was still giving her a reply even if it was short. Soon enough they arrived at the mall " lets fix your hair first" Circe says as she runs her hand through his hair while looking for a suitable place to trim his hair. 

 After a short period of searching both Ariel and his mother settled for a shop not too far from a clothing shop she seemed to like or had been to before, Ariel got ready to cut his hair as he settled down on a chair while the stylist messed around with some scissors and stuff. Ariel decides to spend his time circulating mana through his body as the hair stylist battled with his hair, after minutes of mana circulation Ariel mana capability increased a little as he was able to attain prefect concentration despite the noise in the background. Ariel was jolted back to reality as he felt his mother's hands on his shoulder, he open his eyes to see his reflection on the mirror his hair has been shortened but still enough to be packed backwards just not too long to get in his eyes and ears. Ariel forced a smile down as he looks at himself in the mirror as he sees a sticking resemblance to the angel he once was.

 After they left the barbers, they made their way o the nearby store his mom had picked beforehand, Circe went through clothes while Ariel followed quietly after her. He got pulled into dressing rooms as she pick different types of clothes for him once he deemed pricey seeing how they had been living but never brought up the matter. Circe got everything she thought fitted Ariel or ones he could grow into and one she thought would look really well on Ether. Circe made small talk with villagers she knew as they made their way back home, Ariel was happy he could finally get some rest after trailing after her all day like a shadow, he also hated all the attention he got from the villager as some even got close enough to pinch his cheeks or ruffle his hair.

 Their trip home was long than expected due to Circe constant small talk with people which Ariel really didn't appreciate but still kept his opinion to himself as hey made heir way home, after a series of greetings and small gist both Circe and Ariel finally arrive at home. Circe made her way to the kitchen area preparing to whip up something up for them to eat, while Ariel carried the bags up the stairs, Ariel carried the bags up the stairs using simple levitating magic now that he was inside his house, the task barely eat a his mana but as soon as he entered his room he drops on his bed as he recalls his day and the only thing that seemed important was his mana increase even with how little it was. Ariel let out a sigh as he begins to circulate his mana through his body, his body felt lighter and the mana felt pure not as pure as holy power but was enough to reduce the conflict between the two energies in his body. His little exploration was cut short as soon as he heard his mother's voice half yelling his name, His body jolted up as he realized he was close to entering a trance which could have been dangerous. He hurried down the stairs to answer Circe's summon.
