Filling up the energy stone!!!

However, Rose was outraged. " Mr. General sir, I can challenge you. My brothers can do it tonight itself."

Victor started laughing at this. Even the othere smiled. They knew Rose liked her brothers the most but no one took her words seriously.

Harry smiled at Rose fondly, ruffled her head and asked loudly, " Did everyone here heard her, are you sure your brothers cand fill it up tonight?" Rose noded her head with confidence to Harry's question.

"Well then. Any one ready to place 10,000 gold against her?" I will cover little rose here. Harry declared, stunning everyone.

After a few minutes, Victor took up the bet. "Fine I wil bet. If the boys can even fill the energy stone within 3 days I will pay up 10,000 gold."

Excellent. Harry beamed at him. Your grace, Harry looked at Samuel." He also noded, I will also agree with Victor. If they can fill it up within 3 or even 5 days, I will pay up 20,000 gold. Everyone were stunned at the amount they had bet upon.

Harry turned towards the boys and grinned mischievously.

Boys 50% only at first. Starting from Bob.

All the boys grinned at the betting and as usual they consider it as a challenge.

Everyone took their seat and watched at Bob who took the stone in his hand. Helen also went back and took a seat with others.

Bob looked at Harry with a questioning look and asked "Half right...? " and got a confirmation when Harry noded.

Bob shrugged and closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, then opend his eyes and started to channel his mana into the energy stone. The inflow of the mana was so intense then everything around him felt a jolt and even their chairs vibrated with the force of his internal energy.

Such power.... It's so intense... !!!? Helen was in awe of the energy that was pouring into the stone. The level of mana she was feeling was much higher than what she had felt from Alan while he healed Ben's horse more than four years ago.

It went on for 15 minutes after which he stopped channeling and gave the stone back to Harry. "Remember to hunt a few beast for us before the breakfast tomorrow." Bob told Harry. Who sighed and nodded his head solemnly.

Ben, Harry called him out. " Ben also had the same intensity of mana and poured mana for around 20 minutes and gave the stone back.

Samuel and his family members including Victor were dumbfounded by the display of the mana by these two boys.

"How.... How can they.... Victor stammered." Harry grinning wickedly, " Bob here invoked his energy around an year ago. Ben a few months before him."

The grin on Harry's face, if possible widened even more, "And now comes the big names, having invoked their mana more than a couple of years ago.

He then looked at Dave, who shrugged his shoulders and took the stone in his hand and started to channel his energy. It felt so strong that, the hairs on their heads started to ripple and raise on their ends as if they were auddenly pushed outside on a windy night from the xomforts of their cosy bed. It went on for more than 30 minutes then he stopped.

Next was Chris, whose mana reservoir was immense, requiring almost an hour before he ceased channeling.

Harry surveyed the room, saying, "It's nearly bedtime. If you wish, please go ahead." However, no one budged.

Williams stepped up, smiling at Alan, "Al, hope I've improved since our last assessment." He then began channeling, his potent mana forcing everyone to fall out of their seats.

After about an hour and a half, he ceased. Clothes and hair were disheveled on nearly everyone, appearing entranced.

"How intense!!!!" Victor exclaimed in awe.

Next was Alan, clutching the stone, he focused briefly before declaring it was nearly 70% full, leaving everyone awestruck.

As Alan began pouring his mana, it felt like a gentle breeze to onlookers. Harry impatiently urged, "Hey, why hold back? It'll take all night at this rate."

With a deep sigh, Alan shrugged and unleashed his mana at full force. The calm breeze turned into a torrent, causing vases, paintings, and even people to topple who struggled to even get up from the force he was exherting.

"Ok.... Okay stop it, my mistake..... My mistake.". Harry scratched his head and laughed in embarrassment. Then apologised to everyone sheepishly.

Alan dialed down his intensity and the torrent turned into the gentle breeze again. Everyone staggered to their feet and looked at Alan with a mixture of both awe and fear in their eyes.

Within an hour, Alan stopped channeling his mana and declared it to be full.

Harry smiled with satisfaction and asked, " How much mana dis you injected?"

Alan thought for a few seconds and then shrugged, "May be around 30%".

Harry and the other boys sighed with a defeated expression.
