Mother's warmth

Claude tried again but he failed again. Claude decided to rest while he used his breathing technique to regenerate the mana.

After that Claude tried again but this time he decided to take his time and read the mana of the tree first. The tree didn't have any form of mind or to be precise fluctuation, the tree seemed lifeless if you don't notice the mana present in it. Claude noticed something, there was a particular signature on the tree's mana which was not present before.

Claude noticed that while casting this spell you don't have to make your mana forcefully adapt to it. You have to give a small amount of your mana to the spell in a way that the mana of the tree will carry a signature which can be adapted easily without any complexity. The spell actually worked like a printer, it printed the mana of the other person's mana so that it becomes easier to adapt to it.

After completing the adapting process of the mana, it was the most crucial part. To cast the true healing spell, the tier 3 spell. Just like all elements, a life element also exists. Healing magic only allows this element to multiply. In short healing magic is used so that mana can speed up this process. When you make the mana signature of yours the same as the person who you are healing, you are asking the body to accept the additional mana which will be converted into a life element and heal you.

" Heal "

Claude said, while his mana carrying the tree's mana signature got converted into matter which turned into a cell which turned into tissue which got turned into a full-fledged organ. When Claude turned towards the tree branch he saw it turning from a dried, black and leafless branch changing. The black branch changed into a healthy brown and some leaves started appearing on it.

He casted the tier 1 spell again to check the condition and he was happy to see that there was no longer pain. And the injured part was completely healed.

Claude decided it was time to use something else as his experiment dummy. That's why he caught a few fish and injured them.

Claude noticed that the smaller the injury the smaller mana is required but if the body or vessel is not big or strong enough it will burst open. Claude had to delicately send small tendrils of mana to heal the fishes.

By the time he had healed some 10 or 20 fishes the sun was already set. He decided to come again tomorrow but tommorow he is going to use death magic. Even though he doesn't have much experience in healing magic with only one day of using it. He never expected to become a master in just a single day. Focusing on two different things twice the time is better than focusing on one thing with half the time and it will be boring as well.

He went home quickly and just like before Layla and Ellen were setting the table. He went to take a bath because due to excessive mana combustion he smells like a rotten rat. When he came back everyone except Eren and Ares were not present here.

When he came and sat on his seat, Eren and Ares came home. Eren had a gloomy expression which did not go unnoticed by others.

"What happened sweetie ?" Ellen was the first one to ask, she knew her son very well so she knew that her son never gets angry and teary for no reason.

" Tell everyone what happened. You have done nothing wrong, that's why you have nothing to be ashamed of." Ares said from his side.

" Today when we were done with our swordsmanship training, Claude went to practice his magic while I went into the village just like usual. Everything was normal until the glasses said….." He paused and looked towards Claude, Amber and then Ares.

" Say it, don't worry." Ares said with a fatherly warmth.

" ….. He said that he was glad that I didn't bring Claude today to play with us. When I asked the reason why they didn't want to play with Claude, he said 'Claude is a whores son.'" When Eren said that everyone flinched. Amber was the first to react. She didn't say anything and went to her room.

" And ? What did you do ?" Claude said with such casualness, people might think that he was not the person mentioned in this topic.

" I was angry but I didn't hit him. I just said that there's no need for us to be friends anymore. If Claude is a whores son then I am a sword saint. Why should I talk with mere peasants ?" He concluded.

Ellen looked at Ares with a questioning look, he replied :-

" Don't worry, his father came to me for calling his son a peasant but when everyone else along with the juice shop owner agreed to what Eren said and that he was telling the truth. He became silent, I didn't do much. I just broke both of his hands and asked the mage to heal him. That bastard was just jealous of me for having two beautiful and hot wives."

" Dear !! What are you saying in front of boys !?" Ellen exclaimed.

" What ? They need to know the cruelty of the world and unlike Ellen, Claude would have accepted all the torment happening to him just because he was born in this world." He said, trying to justify his ruthlessness.

" I don't care what they say or do, Eren. From the day I came to know about my origins I was actually ready to face even contempt and torment from my family but you were just good people trying to live a normal life." Claude explained making Ellen look at him with the worry of mother and Ares nodding his head.

" …... But still isn't it wrong ?" Eren said.

" There is no one right in this world my dear brother. The one who is right is the one who is less wrong." Claude said with a smile.

" And lord father, I might have ignored them but accept them never. I had faced the cruelty of the world from the day I was born. That's why it is normal for me to ignore such people but….." He looked into Ares' eyes with his own eyes burning with mana.

" ... If any of this even got near the people I consider family I might even set their house on fire. They can die for all that I care." Before Ares can even reply, Ellen hugged Claude, stuffing her face in her huge bosom.

" If you consider me as your family then you will never do something like that. I don't give a shit about this world but I don't want any of my two sons' hands to be stained by blood. I don't care if you are not born from my womb, you are my son because I have accepted you as such." She said with a teary expression, Ellen never really paid attention to Claude because for her he was just child of her husband's second wife. That's why she didn't know the psychology and environment had affected Claude's personality.

Claude felt the warmth of the mother for the first time but he was not able to give his mother what she was asking for. He can't promise that his hands will never be stained with blood because Claude don't care about the consequences he only cares about reaching his goal.
