Mana Body

Tereus remained silent even after Kaiden explained his reason for reaching him.

Of course, he was interested in the advice that this young boy will give to him to pass the examination… However, he was even more curious about the source of information of this kid…

After all, this person knows the name Eldris and was also fully aware of the medicinal herbs that his mother has sent to him from the countryside.

"This is interesting… What's your real name?"

As expected of the future pillar of the resistance group and the strongest Pyromancer of the Kingdom, he was calm and collected.

"I'm Kaiden."

"Alright, Kaiden… I'm not sure about your story but I'll believe you for now… I'll give you the things you're looking for in exchange for your gold and advice."

"Really? You're accepting just like that?"

Kaiden was a bit flustered. How can he trust him so easily? He expected him to ask more questions about his origin or tell him to give him his advice first before he decides whether he'll pay for it or not.

He thought of various arguments that Tereus would use but he just accepted it just like that… It was truly surprising on his side.

"Well, I'm going to be late now in my training so I can't ask too many questions… I'll leave the ingredients you've mentioned at the guard's post. Just take it tomorrow morning including your payment… Ahh… Just write the advice on a paper or something… Bye now…"

Tereus said as he left Kaiden looking dumbfounded…

The young boy can only sigh as he thought that Tereus must have a bunch of those ingredients that's why he easily agreed.

Anyway, those two weren't popular medicinal ingredients yet so it was normal to have many supplies of it at the moment.

Later on, once the Players popularized a few medicines or potions, the demand for those ingredients would increase and their prices would almost reach the price of gold at some point.

Finally, Kaiden can now solve the main issue of curing his mother's weak body…

A day had passed and Kaiden managed to get the core ingredients for the potion he was trying to make.

As for the piece of advice for Tereus, he gave him knowledge about Mana Body Cultivation and the method on how to start with it.

The Magicians of today only focuses on controlling Mana and use them just like an extension of their hands. It may be effective in today's combat style, but it will soon become obsolete once the Awakening has started.

The most that Kaiden can do was to give a bit of help to the future Pyromancer of this Kingdom. After all, what he needed to do first is to gain some strength so that his words would have a weight on them.

At this time, it was up to Tereus whether he'll practice the Mana Body Cultivation or he'll just ignore it and focus on Mana Control.

"Kaiden… You're back…"

"Ahh... Father… How's mom?"

"She's good… She's weak at the moment but she just needed some rest…"

"That's good. Can I see my little brother?" Kaiden just came outside as he tried to look around the trading area of the city.

He was looking for something that would help him hasten his cultivation and it is not going very well due to the rarity of the things that he's looking for.

Anyway, he already managed to make the Health Potions through the help of the Pharmacists he befriended and finally cured her mother's weak body. His future would definitely be different with his mother around.

The only thing he has to worry about was his father's accident in the near future. Though it may no longer happen due to the changes he made.

"Of course… Just look how cute your brother is… Ahh… Be sure to wash your hands before touching him, alright?"

"Yes, father. Does he have a name?" Kaiden asked although he knows it already…

"Rian… Your mother named him Rian…" His father softly muttered as he glanced at the sleeping baby beside her wife.

Knock! Knock!

Someone gently knocked on their door so his father quickly takes a look at it and found someone he recognized.

"Kaiden, I have to return to work. Take care of your mom and brother… Just heat the food I've prepared once your mother woke up. She'll definitely be hungry later."

"Yes… I will, father. Don't worry… I'll take care of them until you return…"

Kaiden replied with confidence.

The young boy then looked at his little brother that resembles his father a little…

Unlike his black hair and deep blue eyes similar to the royal family of the kingdom, his young brother has blond hair and brown eyes.

Kaiden smiled warmly at the baby before he left the room…

His mother is alive thanks to the potion that he secretly fed to her… He did it covertly since he wouldn't be able to answer if they ask about its origin…

Although he decided to tell his story to his parents, he knows that this is not the right time for that…

***

Two years had passed after Kaiden came back from the future. He's now nine years old and even though he's still young, his reputation has already started to spread within Astravale City...

Of course, aside from increasing his influence, Kaiden didn't stop in his cultivation…

Finally, he mastered the Mana Body Cultivation and he's now preparing for the Awakening Process…

'Nineteen superpowers… I wonder which one is truly meant for me…'

Kaiden mused after he realized that he already reached all the requirements for the Awakening.
