The bodily conditions of Alexa were not so severe anymore, so Shin used part of his mana to stabilize his bodily functions. In a world where mana was scarce, such an act was considered crazy, and this not-so-small gesture further melted Alexa's heart.
"You ... Why go so far for me?"
Smiling affectionately, Shin pinched the soft skin on Alexa's cheek, making her face flush with shyness.
"I do it because you are my little maid, and it is also necessary for your body to stay healthy until we find an artefact strong enough to heal you completely, tomorrow you will come to my house, we will plan our trip to Europe."
For Shin's words, Alexa nodded in agreement.
"I ... what am I supposed to call you?" His voice shook slightly, and mixed emotions ran through his thoughts. 'Damn, did I fall in love that easy?'
Without being aware of Alexa's internal monologue, Shin fell into thoughts, for him, she was both his employee as a teacher, it would not be appropriate for her to call him a young master at school for example. "Well, call me Shin, but when we are alone, I will be your young master, and you my little Alexa".
Such an intimate form of treatment was something Alexa was not used to, but she felt in her heart that it was something she wanted.
"Okay, young man ... young master" His voice shook slightly, but charged with a certain charm, it made Shin's heart race a little.
"Cough, Cough" Coughing to hide his enthusiasm, he added, "Don't forget to come to my house tomorrow, we have to buy tickets, do you have money for that?"
"I have some money saved, but it's not much, and I don't think it will be enough for our trip" Alexa's sweet voice was saddened.
The sad expression on her beautiful face did not escape Shin's eyes "Don't worry, I have enough for both of us, sometimes I work on programming projects, and they pay relatively well" Not resisting the temptation he provoked her. an adult woman doesn't have enough finances even for an emergency trip, what would you do without me?"
A look of shame quickly filled Alexa's face, who bowed her head in shyness.
"I have some circumstances ..."
To her pitiful look, Shin smiled and stroked her hair. "Well, don't worry so much, after all, I'm your young master now. I need to take care of you, right?" Ending his words with a smile and a wink, he tried to cheer her up again.
The expected reaction, however, did not come, Alexa buried her head between her breasts, her face was completely red, her tone was gentle and kind, full of warm feelings had given a strike to her heart.

At the Flamel family home, Sakurai Yumi hummed as she carefully prepared breakfast for her son and husband when the doorbell rang.
* Ding Dong, Ding Dong *
"Who will be?" Reducing the fires of the stove, she then walked to the door, and when she opened it to her surprise, there was a beautiful woman with black hair as night, and amethyst eyes were in front of her, her face was so fascinating that even Yumi was stunned for an instant.
Realizing her carelessness, she smiled with a hand covering her lips. "Sorry, who would you be?"
Just as Yumi had been stunned, Alexa was also stunned by Yumi's beauty and only after a few moments did she manage to respond.
"Ah, forgive me, are you Shin Flamel's older sister? I am his teacher Alexa Crowley."
Yumi couldn't resist and burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, I'm his Mother, Sakurai Yumi, why don't you come in a little bit, he's about to go down for breakfast."
At the end of his words, the sound of footsteps sounded on the stairs "Good morning mom, Good morning Professor Crowley, what are you doing here?" Shin was surprised that Alexa came to her house so early in the morning.
...
Soon four people were gathered around the table, and then Alexa's sweet voice sounded "I am Alexa Crowley, Shin's history teacher, her son was appointed as my assistant on a trip to Europe with me".
"Hello Professor Crowley, I am Sakurai Yumi, Shin's mother, I am pleased that my son was chosen and I don't care if he goes on this trip, but could you tell me why he was chosen? Classes have just started."
Already expecting such a question, Alexa calmly explained.
"Your son scored very well on the entrance exam, so he was chosen."
"Oh, Shin, I didn't know you were that smart ..."
Smiling at his mother's words, he answered her. "Well, I need to make my mother proud, don't I?"
Alexa sighed in relief internally; she was worried about what to do if Shin's mother would not allow him to travel next to her.
"Don't worry, Ms Sakurai, I'll make sure your son gets knowledge and experience on this trip, I already bought the tickets, the trip will be this afternoon, I'm sorry for the tight deadline, it was a last-minute decision."
Yumi Didn't worry about the words of the beautiful teacher, the two soon became friends and exchanged words, for Shin it was something to rejoice since Alexa would be part of her life.
_
"So, my son, did you make sure to get everything, wallet and everything?"
"Yes, mom, don't worry, it will be a short trip. I will get in touch with you as soon as I arrive in Italy".
Yumi gently hugged her son and kissed him on the forehead "take care, dear".
Shin and Alexa then met at the airport and prepared for departure.
_
A young man with silver hair and an attractive appearance walked with a beautiful black-haired woman through Beijing international airport.
"So, what is our departure gate?" Shin questioned Alexa, who was responsible for the tickets.
"It's gate 12, and we need to hurry, it's almost time for our flight" After quickly checking the tickets in her hands she answered him.
Soon the couple embarked on their flight that left for Florence.
_
"It's a flight of almost 12h, what are you going to do during that time?" Alexander's sweet voice rang in Shin's ears.
"I will train a little, the control I have of my current mana is not yet at the level acceptable to me, but I don't mind entertaining you if I get bored" Shin replied while caressing her beautiful face making her blush instantly.
_
The flight proceeded smoothly, and soon the two arrived at the airport of Florence-Peretola, and a couple who stole glances from the surroundings walked towards the exit.
Alexa stretched while speaking in a tired voice "Another 5h trip to Montalcino…. What do you think about spending this night here, even though we are magicians the Jet Lag effect is irritating ..."
Her words elicited a laugh from Shin "Okay, let's look for a hotel and leave tomorrow".
A smile even more charming than the blossoming of a rose appeared on Alexa's face, stealing Shin's attention for a few moments, her stunning but did not last long, a cry woke him.
"Oh no, boss, doctor, someone, quick please".
Screams sounded in the airport lobby attracting attention from the surroundings, the voices belonged to a group of well-dressed bodyguards and such commotion soon formed a small crowd.
"I'm a doctor let me help" A middle-aged man ran towards the crowd, and it wasn't long before he plunged the group of bodyguards into despair. "It is not good, he has a myocardial infarction, and the symptoms are severe, he has only a few minutes to live".
"No, boss, what are we going to do now, I already called the ambulance more ..." The men spoke sadly
"Let me try too" The voice of a young man sparked hope in the heart of the bodyguard group.
"Boy, he's in a critical condition, if he does anything he can make it even worse".
"And if we don't do anything he'll still die, don't you, let me try, I know a little Chinese medicine".
The doctor could only sigh, he knew that the man in front of him did not have much time to live, and the bodyguard group still had some hopes.
Shin then approached the man lying on the floor, he wore expensive-looking clothes and had an elderly look 'I hope you can if he is some kind of rich man he could save me some trouble'.
Upon the anxious looks of the crowd, he then raised his hand towards the chest of the man lying on the floor, from his fingers small strands of mana were released carrying the aura of life, which entered the bloodstream and flowed towards the affected heart, upon contact with the thrombi that were preventing coronary circulation, they broke up. Then the man's heart returned to its normal state, the process did not take long, and soon a voice sounded.
"Cough, cough, this time I saw heaven" The elderly man joked. "Boy My name is Don Salvatore, that old man thanks you for saving my life".
Shin smiled at Salvatore's words "Nothing".
The scene surprised the middle-aged doctor, and he was the one who knew best about Salvatore's condition "Little guy, how did you do that?"
"As I said, Chinese medicine" Shin replied with a smile; he couldn't explain precisely what he had done.
"Boy, what's your name? This old man would like to invite you to my house, at least have tea with me" Salvatore asked in a relaxed way.
Shin looked at Alexa who accompanied him, and after seeing that she didn't seem to disagree, he nodded in approval. "Mr Salvatore, I'm Shin, and this is my girlfriend Alexa, we will be grateful to accept your invitation".
Shin's words made the shy Alexa look at the floor with her face flushed, but she didn't disagree.
Don who was watching them said with a smile "It doesn't have to be so formal, let's all go".
The group then set off for a limousine just outside the airport, boarded and set off for Don Salvatore's mansion.
