Evolution

Remedy entered the room and inspected Leus then tilted her head 

'What?' 

She chanted a different spell, Advanced Mana Vision

This spell allowed her to see Leus' aura, And at first glance, she recognized the change 

' ... His aura had evolved'

She immediately understood what happened, But she had absolutely no idea how it happened

'How come that's even possible? ...' 

She was very shocked, But she didn't let it show on her face

'Also, The hair color is unique, I wonder what Affinity is that? ... I haven't seen such a hair color before'

Viorica was standing beside her with a worried expression 

Remedy looked at her, And honestly, She was at a loss for words 

'How should I explain that?'

She tried to maintain a straight face and spoke neutrally

" ... There's nothing to worry about" 

Viorica was relieved to hear that, but she still had questions

"Then why is he not waking up?"

"Because he's in an Evolutionary Slumber"

Viorica didn't understand what that meant, So Remedy elaborated 

"He has evolved, From a Mortal to a Soldier"

Now Viorica understood what Remedy meant, But ... It didn't make sense

"How? At such a young age? I reached Soldier when I was 22!

And what are "Evolutionary Slumbers?" I've never heard of these"

"That's because you know no one who has evolved at a very young age, 

His body is re-building itself, He should wake up in a few days"

Viorica was still unable to process how it happened

She asked Remedy, A tinge of excitement in her tone

"Why do you think he evolved? And how?"

Remedy replied neutrally

"Like anyone else, His Life Force has exceeded the Mortal Being's threshold, So he evolved to the next Realm

As for why, How do I know? You are his mother, Shouldn't you tell me?"

Viorica kept quiet for a couple of seconds then asked in a normal tone

"What should we do now?"

"Nothing, Leave him alone, He'll get up on his own"

After she was done, Remedy quickly took the fees from Viorica and left

Viorica went and sat on the bed beside Leus, She was playing with his small hair and thinking to herself 

'The Oracle was right! He's only one and a half years old yet he has already evolved! 

I wonder what will Blaze feel about this when he comes home'

After the adrenaline rush was gone, Viorica felt extremely tired 

' ... That's right, I used Magic'

'But it doesn't matter, It was for my precious baby, No problem'

Within a few seconds, She fell asleep beside Leus

For 3 days, Leus remained asleep

Viorica spent most of the time beside him, And Amethyst as well checked on him many times

Eventually, Leus got up

As soon as Leus opened his eyes, He saw his beautiful blue-haired mother staring at him

"Leus, You finally got up"

After saying that, She hugged him tightly, pushing the air out of his lungs

"Ugh, Yes Mo--"

"Don't talk, How are you feeling?"

'I can't breathe!!!'

"I'm ugh - Fine, Please be easy on me"

Viorica quickly apologized and gave him enough space to breathe, But she didn't let him go

"Oh I'm so sorry I was so worried about you"

'Hmm? Why would you be worried?'

Leus didn't understand and asked

"Why? I was just sleeping"

Leus tried to remember what happened, And the memories quickly resurfaced

'OH YES ... I almost died, What the hell was that?'

He noticed that Viorica was staring at him in a weird way, So he quickly tried to change the subject

"Mom, For how long did I sleep?"

"3 Days"

"3 Days? Really? Why?"

Viorica asked him with narrowed eyes

"You tell me, What happened?"

'Heh ... Now how can I get out of this troublesome situation?'

He decided to say the truth, At least a part of it

"I felt like something inside me broke and then I lost control of my body"

''Oh my little baby, It's all okay now, Everything is okay"

Unlike Blaze, Viorica didn't know much about Magic and powers

She believed whatever Leus said

Leus breathed a sigh of relief

'It seems I'm safe for now'

But he still had many questions

"Mom, What happened to me?"

"Remedy said that you entered an Evolutionary Slumber"

" ... What's that?"

Viorica spoke proudly

"It means that you have evolved and become stronger! But I don't know exactly, Just wait until dad comes then he will explain to you the details"

"Okay, Did Remedy say how it happened?"

"She said that your Life Force exceeded a certain limit and that's why it happened"

Now things made sense to Leus

'Huh ... So it's the result of my training ... I see'

'But why did it make me feel like I'm about to die ... What a lame way to evolve'

Leus had a lot to think about, So he decided to end the conversation here

"Thanks, Mom, I'll lay down here for some time"

"Sure, If you need anything let me know"

After staying beside Leus for some time, Viorica got up

Amethyst and Merlin were excited that he finally awoke and wanted to play with him, But Viorica told them that he needed some rest and they reluctantly agreed

Slowly, Leus sneaked and went to an empty room

'Hmm, I never thought about it before, But this house is really big'

But he quickly stopped thinking about that and tried to see what changed within him

The first thing he noticed was that all his senses had improved

Better eyesight and better hearing

'It's not all that great but it's noticeable .. I also can focus harder now, As if my mind has become stronger'

He also noticed that his body had become stronger and faster, Albeit not by much.

'So my body has improved ...'

'Maybe that's the effect of Mana going inside my body ... I wonder how far can it improve'

After he was done testing his body, He began to use Magic

'Maybe my Life Force or Mana have increased?'

'Let's see'

He started by silently casting Vivify, Accessing his Life Force, and making it gather on his palm

' ... The change is ... Tiny'

It was so small that it was barely noticeable

He sighed

'How disappointing'

He didn't dwell on that much and checked his Mana Pool

'Hmm ... Now certainly there is an improvement, But it's between small and medium'

'I don't feel like this evolution has resulted in anything significant really'

After thinking about everything he discovered and putting the pieces together, He had a rough understanding of what happened

'I think that if I increase my Life Force beyond a specific limit then I go through that evolution'

'And that evolution improves my body and mind, But not by much'

'Maybe if I go through another evolution things will get better? Maybe this is just a weak evolution?'

He had no idea

'I need more information'

But for now

'I just need to ignore these things and focus on training'

'When Dad comes, I'll talk to him about it'

And like that, Things went back to normal

And two more months passed.
