[Chapter —9]

We followed Illyana to the back of the facility and into the woods and made it to a cabin there.

' This wasn't in the movie...' I thought curiously but chalked that out as this was reality now and not a movie.

After that we got inside the cabin finding it dark and after Rhane lit up a couple candles I saw that the one room cabin had sofas for people to sit on which everyone did except Illyana who walked up to me and gave me the packet of weed seeds.

" Show us your new trick." She said looking excited a bit.

Taking the weed I noticed a couple makeshift plant pots and saw dead weed trees on them.

Taking one of them I pulled out the dead tree and checked the soil and found it still damp so it would do.

I put a single seed on the pot and then sat it at the centre and before I could use my magic I first opened the skill tab and looked over the skill.

[—Herbology Magic[Lv-25]: A magic art that focuses on the caring and nurturing of plants allowing the magician the ability to nurture certain properties of a plant while giving said plant a able growth.

—Known Spells: Accelerate Growth, Induce Mutation, Feed Energy, Enhance Properties, Process Plant.]

The skill was already at level 25 so meaning that all my spells would work as if I had used, understood and mastered them to that level.

So when I learnt or created new spells that fall under this branch of magic then I would immediately master that spell to the skills level.

But now I didn't care for that as I wanted to grow some fucking weed!.

So hovering my hand over the pot I focused and immediately cast my spells.

Casting magic wasn't just about willing the magic to happen but more so a conscious effort, you needed to guide the spell into doing what you needed and intended it to do and that's what I did.

I first cast [Enhance Properties] and enhanced it's hallucinogenic properties and even enhanced the little health benefits it can grant.

Next i then cast [Accelerated Growth] and watched as the seed slowly sprouted out of the seed and started growing in real time.

This was too slow for my taste so instead I cast [Feed Energy] and connected to my ability [Life-Force Manipulation] and fed life enriched energy to the seedling.

This not only boosted the growth of the plant to insane levels but also improved upon the beneficial properties of the plant and probably did more but for now I was awed as the weed plant grew to full maturity after reaching 3 metres in height.

The cannabis tree was glistening with a green hue that accentuated it's green leaves with the many bulbs of weed sprouting out.

" Holy fuck you actually did it...." I got brought out of my musing as I stared at everyone as they appraised my cannabis tree with different expressions of awe.

" You handsome devil!" Exclaimed Illyana as she grabbed me by my collar and pulled me in for a wet long sensual kiss before pulling out.

" You're a national treasure that needs to be protected." She said half amusingly and half serious before she let me go and walked to the weed tree and broke off a twig with a bunch of huge ass bulbs of weed.

" This is... incredible." Sammy said as she looked at me with a weird expression.

" What even is your power anyway?, because super strength, flight and now this are really too diverse to be just your ability." Roberta said looking curiously at me as she and everyone including me started picking at the bulbs of the cannabis tree.

" I think it's energy manipulation." I lied, technically anyway.

" How does energy manipulation explain this then?" Rhane asked pointing at the tree.

" Well there are dozens of different types of energies out there Rhane, I can if I come to contact with any energy foreign to me start generating my own type of said energy and then I can manipulate it." I explained being truthful this time, we were away from the facility and I felt no surveillance technology or any technology around me with [ Technomantic ] so it was fine to tell them this much.

I wanted to build their trust as I genuinely liked these broads and I was a greedy person so everything 'must' be mine.

" There energy I just used to grow this plant that fast is Lifeforce, the energy that all living matter produce." I told her coming up with bullshit out of my ass.

" Lifeforce?... isn't that harmful to you?" Illyana paused looking at me with worry.

" Oh not at all, I used the outside trees lifeforce instead so I'm good." I didn't actually, I just thought of that now and will probably be doing that as even if my lifeforce is bigger and stronger then normal people's I still don't want to waste it.

" Oh that's good....but now how are we gonna dry this?" Rhane said as we finished picking all the bulbs of cannabis off the tree.

" So baby, any more tricks up your sleeves?" Illyana turned to me and inquired with her accent bleeding threw heavily which I thought was hot to be honest.

" Actually....I think I can cook up something." I told them as we laid all the cannabis bulbs on the floor.

" Good because I don't feel like waiting weeks for this shit to dry." Roberta added looking me with interest apparent on her smile.

Snickering I went on the knee over the dozens weed bulbs and cast [Process Plant] spell.

This spell was a quick and effective way of immediately processing your plants to their optimal form either by powdering them, chopping them or drying them up.

So with the cast of this spell the weed dried up just enough to be burnable.

" Anyone have a lighter?" I heard Sammy ask looking at me amused as none of us had the needed items to smoke this.
