Learning

Leus never stopped using Vivify on his mother for the last two months

And she was clearly improving!

He even heard Remedy say that she might fully recover after 3 months!

'My hard work wasn't for nothing, Power sure is enticing'

By now Leus was 1 year and 8 months old, And he had stopped hiding his intelligence, The only thing he hides from his family is his ability to use Magic

One day, Viorica came from outside with books in her hand, Leus noticed that and became interested

Viorica brought Amethyst beside her and spoke to her

"Amethyst, You're about to turn 8, From tomorrow I'll start teaching you how to read and do simple math"

When Amethyst heard that she became worried

"Really?"

"Yes, Don't you want to surprise Daddy when he comes back? He'll be so proud of you"

When Amethyst heard that, A radiant smile appeared on her face

"Of Course! Let's do it, I'll study hard"

A cunning smile appeared on Viorica's lips, But she quickly erased it

Leus decided to join the conversation

"Mom, I want to learn too"

Viorica looked at him in surprise

"Already? you're too young,

Don't you want to play with your brother or something? These things will be difficult for you

"No problem, I want to learn with you"

'Well, He will get bored and stop on his own'

Viorica thought that and agreed

"Then let's all start tomorrow, Be ready for it both of you

The Next day,

Leus, Amethyst, and Viorica were sitting together around the table with two books and some paper

Viorica asked Merlin to join too and give it a try, So he did

Viorica began by teaching them how the alphabet looked and how to spell simple words

Amethyst and Leus learned the simple things quickly, But Merlin got bored within the first hour and stopped

Viorica didn't pressurize him

'He's only 6, He still has time'

For the next couple of days, Viorica spent most of her time teaching Amethyst and Leus about the language

"Surprisingly", To Viorica at least, Leus learned math very quickly, It was all so simple to him

Seeing that, Viorica felt hopeful and tried to teach Amethyst math like Leus, But things didn't work out as well as she expected

'Yeah ... Amethyst is not the problem, Leus is'

During that time, Leus spent most of his time learning how to read and write, His Magic training sessions have decreased but he never stopped using Vivify on his mother

He also made sure to deplete his Mana Pool at night

'Sal said that if I consume my Mana Pool then it will increase'

So he kept doing that

While Leus was studying, He came to a realization

'Whatever Sal has done and whatever Evolution I've gone through have had a good impact on my mind, I feel like I can remember things easier and that my mind works fast'

' ... Once again, I feel indebted to Sal'

It took Leus two months to be done with all his lessons

He probably could have done it faster if he put more effort into it, But he had his Life Force and Magic training sessions too and he didn't really have any reason to rush

Finally, After Leus became 1 year and 10 months old, He officially graduated from Viorica's classes

That allowed Viorica to focus more on Amethyst

'Amethyst still needs time to graduate'

In the middle of the month, Remedy announced that Viorica was fully recovered and didn't need any more sessions, She only advised her to be moderate about using Magic and to not use it excessively

Viorica was delighted to hear that, and she quickly sent a letter to Blaze, asking him to come back home

Leus was very happy and relieved to hear the news

'Whew, Now Dad doesn't have to risk his life anymore, And Mom won't have to suffer'

'All my efforts paid off!'

'I fulfilled my promise'

He felt proud of himself and began to think about what he should do next

'I don't have any specific goal in mind ...'

'Now that I don't need to use Life Force on Mom, I wonder if I should stop training?'

'I don't really want power that much ... But maybe I'll need it later?'

'I'll leave deciding about this for later, For now, I want to learn about this world! The geography, the history, and the political system'

Leus nodded to himself

'Yeah ... It'd be nice to know where the heck I am in this world'

'And, Who knows, Maybe I can find Sal?'

'Now that I know how to read, I will ask mom to buy me some history book or some map, I want to learn at least the basics about this world'

That night, Leus didn't train, He just slept with no worries on his mind, But on the other bed, Viorica was thinking deeply about something

'Finally, I'm no longer a burden on Blaze'

'Now he can be home and be with Amethyst! She's missing him a lot'

Because of the expenses of her treatment, Viorica felt that she was a burden on the family, She felt guilty and useless

'Finally ... It's all over'

She pushed away the negative thoughts and began to think about Blaze's reaction when he comes home

'Amethyst has learned some math and a bit about spelling'

'Leus ... He's just different'

She turned around and looked at the sleeping Leus

'His evolution and how quickly he learned, It's all astonishing'

'He even learned math in just a few days ...'

'His body is also much bigger and stronger than kids at his age, While he's not even two years old yet, His body is as big as a 4 or 5-year-old boy!

He's only a little smaller than Merlin'

'I can't wait until Blaze comes back ... So much has changed in the last 10 months'

For the first time in so many months, Viorica slept with a genuine smile on her face
