Final Preparations II

Sunday, August 27, 2130… Cyril is quite excited about his Awakening.

He had done everything he could in the past month and he finally collected all the ingredients he needed to concoct the lesser healing potion he was planning to make.

Of course, most of the collection of the ingredients was done through the help of his Aunt Bonnie since she's the only one who could make transactions to the Awakened Marketplace.

Aside from that, he's also unable to start the production of the potion since he doesn't have an Aura yet…

For now, he can only take care of the 55 pots of lifelace flower or currently known as watercrest flowers by the Awakened Association.

'I still have 3,257 days. Concocting a potion for my budget, finding purple crystals, hypnotizing future evil Awakened, and finding clues about the Tree of Life… I have so many things to do… Perhaps, I can also consider stealing a decent Artifact. Right, if I ever Awakened as A-Rank, I might ask Xagan to help me steal "that" one…'

Cyril was lost in his thoughts while his Aunt couldn't help but chuckle after seeing that he was already drowning his plants.

"Ahh!"

Cyril finally noticed what he was doing as he quickly stopped watering.

On the other hand, Bonnie can only shake her head as she decided to continue reading the newspapers.

She was trying to find some articles related to the materials or herbs that Cyril asked for.

Right now, she was actually quite curious why her nephew was so interested in some materials and herbs that can only be purchased by Awakened like her.

All of those ingredients were ordered under her name and are all just hiding in a box kept in the young man's room.

He was not telling her the reason and only said that he'll explain once everything is ready. She also found out from her customers that he was also quite active within the Martial Arts Hall...

'He's been practicing Martial Arts and he now has a decent body compared to before… Wait… Is he planning to court someone?'

Bonnie finally connected the dots… or so she thought. Cyril has become too mysterious after returning here to the town.

Nevertheless, she's happy that he's changing for the better.

Thud...

She dropped the newspaper on the table after not finding anything about those herbs and ingredients…

She can only give up looking for information and will just wait until the young man is ready.

She looked at the time and noticed that it was still too early to cook for lunch, she then asked Cyril what he wants to eat later.

"Ahh… Let me cook for you today, Aunt Bonnie. I will be very busy tomorrow and I may no longer stay here the day after… at least for a while."

"Huh? Where will you go?... Ah! Now that you said it, I remember you telling me that you'll just stay here for about a month… I didn't know you'll be leaving exactly after a month!"

Cyril smiled wryly.

"Don't worry... I'll be looking for a job on the next.... next day."

His plans are simple. After his Awakening tomorrow, he will start the concoction of his lesser healing potion.

This will be his first task. After he completed this, he would have to start working with Xagan the next day.

Of course, he's also planning to control his Aura as quickly as possible. Perhaps a few days or even minutes would be enough. It's not an exaggeration but he's confident about it since he has the memories of his previous self.

He would've wasted his 14 years of Awakened life experience if he couldn't do that much.

After recalling this, he got a bit curious about the fastest Awakened to control their aura.

He went to his room after cleaning up the mess he made on the plants as he searched online using his smartphone.

"Sander Fornes… An Awakened who managed to get full control of his Aura eighteen hours after his awakening…"

'That's impressive. I took a week to completely control my aura… It was already quite decent if I remember it correctly' Cyril mused as he searched for the average time that the people were able to control their Aura.

Indeed, the average time for people to take control of their aura is 10 days!

As he was searching, he also found out that the longest recorded time was actually 12 years! It was because the person got into a coma when he was forcing himself to control his aura. Only after he woke up did he managed to control them…

It is interesting random facts he found online. But as he was checking the leaderboard, he found some familiar names.

Trond Eidem – A-Rank Awakened. He's the second person on the record. He only took 23 hours to control his aura.

Steinar Reistad – S-Rank Awakened and Nelly Mosted – A-Rank Awakened… These two only took 2 days.

The other names that Cyril found were unfamiliar. They would probably die after some time or they have no other talent other than controlling their aura faster.

Nevertheless, those three names will be heard many times about three years from now… These three Awakened were all in the same country in the south of the Republic of Verpus, the Kingdom of Palais.

As far as he recalls, they will be the first ones to make contact with the Abyssal Beasts…

"Hmmm… It is still a bit too far from now, but I have to get ready."

Cyril muttered as he decided to prepare the lunch and dinner for today. Tomorrow, he will finally become one of the Awakened…

Once that happened, his adventure to find the Tree of Life will finally begin.
