Eric continues.

"After that war, I try to get treasure from her but then she drugs me something because of that I slowly started losing my strength. Seeing my condition academy teacher supported her as I became useless in their eye.

Then one day academy abolished my student contract with them. At first, I was confused about why they do that then I came to know that someone was planning to get rid of me to impress her who now become part of the rankers.

They started by beating me daily. Because of my poor performance in the war, I was already got treated badly but after these people start beating me daily my life become hell. One day they form a group to beat me. I tried to run away from them. But they corner me on the edge of a cliff.

I was very depressed from all that was happening to me. My dream was slowly getting out of my sight. Each day I practiced very hard but my strength was decreasing instead of increasing. I made up my mind to leave the world. I jump from the cliff to end my life

Before anyone kills me, I tried to end my life by jumping in the river but was somehow able to survive and here I am that is all to my pathetic warrior saga."

Saying all that Eric starts laughing at his past foolishness. He was once a fool who want to prove himself to the world. Now he does not need to prove to anyone. Eric smiled hoping for his bright future.

'I will become strong to do all I wanted, to win the war, to become the Monarch of Altasia'

Thinking to himself Eric waits for Lee to speak.

Eric did not have to wait much as Lee start speaking after some time.

<Master so you do know the basics about War and Warrior. Well, forget about them for now. As you said that you get drugged whose purpose was to damage your core but because of some reason instead of destroying your core it starts losing power slowly.>

"Yes, that summary."

'So, he only wants to know what causes problems in the core. I stupidly speak about my whole life.' Eric thinks embarrassingly.

<Master, I now find the whole thing. You are not drugged for the first time in your life. This was the second time you got drugged. >

Eric becomes confused. He does not remember anything about him getting drugged the first time which Lee is saying.

<Master, the First time you get drugged is when you were born or even before you were born. Like from the womb of your mother. It is like when you are just born someone drugged you that is why you do not know anything about it. >

Eric bombarded Lee with many questions.

"But Lee, If I was drugged then why did I never feel it? and if someone drugged me one time then why it will show effect after so many years? What type of drug do I have in my body? "

Lee speak.

<Master, the First drug was dormant. It will not harm a baby but it will hinder you whenever mana trying to strengthen your body. This is the reason you were always weak compared to others. This is not the main function of the drug. The main function of the drug start when you form your mana core.

When you were forming your core then all the drugs present in your body activate. Their purpose was to hinder you to form a mana core and even if you form the mana core they surround it and make mana difficult to enter in your core. All this will result in making your potential low.

Master, your potential is not low. This is work of drug why your potential is D rank. Whoever drugged you want to hinder your growth.>

Hearing all of this Eric was at a loss for words. His life becomes miserable all because of someone he doesn't even know. He starts thinking about people who can drug him. He first thinks about his father but then rejected it as his father used to beat him because he was weak. His father must not know about the drug. Then he thought about his mother who abandoned him according to his father. He shakes his head as he does not know anything about them.

He stops thinking about all that and motion Lee to continue.

<Master, This first drug does all bad to you but this also saves you. As you know you got drugged a second time. The function of the second drug was straight it need to go to your core and then try to destroy it. But before they can reach your core the met the first drug surrounds your core.

Now both drug has opposite work. One wants to enter your core and the other need to stop anything from entering your core. They both clash and a mutation happened. You can call this new mutation the 3rd drug. This drug forms within your body and both the first and second drugs are now fully destroyed in the process. At present, you have this 3rd kind of drug in your body.>

Eric's mind was spinning from this drug theory. Did his body become a drug factory? The more he heard it the more he find this all thing creepy. Eric speaks to Lee.

" Is this 3rd drug function to absorb mana from my mana core?"

<Correct, This drug will absorb all mana that is preset in your core. But they are not able to absorb mana from your body. This will make your mana-starving body normal. You will be able to become stronger physically.>

"Well that's good but what about my mana core."

<Master, Every drug has a weakness that once it activates needs fuel to fight the body's natural defense otherwise it will get destroyed. It cannot go back to a dormant state once they become active. So all you need to do is wait until your mana core has no mana in it. This surely makes your core weak but once 3rd drug gets no mana from the core drug will be destroyed by body defense and you will get away from all this drug problem you were facing.

For now, the best choice is to let all the energy disperse from your core it may make your core fragile for time being but we do not have any way to remove the drug from your body. Once all drugs get destroyed you can start your warrior path again.>

"That's it, I thought it will be something harder than that."

Hearing all this Eric has a few doubts but he knows that Lee is more knowledgeable than him so he decided to do that. After a few mins of pondering Eric asks.

"So, Lee how much time does it takes for all these drugs to get destroyed by my body."

<It will take around 6 months for your core to get fully empty and then 1-2 months for your body to destroy all the drugs. In total around 7-8 months.>

Eric is surprised to hear that and immediately spoke.

"So much time, what I will do in that time how will I train then"

Seeing Eric's depressed face Lee asks?

<Master let me ask what you think is most important in a war>

Hearing the question Eric speaks after some thinking.

"Well, obviously it's power. When you are strongest everyone will fear and avoid you can easily score a win in the war."

<Master you are partially right. Power is one of the most important things in war. But you will find that many of these powerful people died in war because someone trap them and fight using thousands of weak warriors. In those cases, only power does not save them. Even if someone had the power he still died at hands of weak people. Only relying on power is not able to save him. Now tell me master what is the most important thing in war?>

"If you say it like that then do intelligence and strategy most important in war?"

<No this is also a partially correct answer. >

Hearing Lee Eric get more confused if it is not strength and nor intelligence then what is it? Is it a combination of both? After mins of brainstorming and a few more guesses, Eric said with a defeated face.

"Can you answer now?"

<Master, the most important thing in a war is 'intend to survive.' When you can survive a war, you can eventually become strong and intelligent. You can only make your army if you are strong which depends on your survival. For your survival, you need to do any and everything. >

Hearing the answer Eric almost smashes his head. The answer is so common but he still did not get it.

<Master, you always have to remember that survival always comes first over other things. Power, fame, morals, strategy, and all other thing remain behind survival. In war, you must always ensure your survival first then only you do other things.>

Hearing Lee Eric rapidly swung his head up and down in agreement.
