Let's take a step back and see what kind of hell Daiki and Tatsumaki had endured due to Volk and Volpe, their teachers who basically almost kidnapped them at first. This is just the second day
"As all of us know the beast people race is actually pretty weak when it comes to using anything related to magic due to their small mana capacity and their poor quality of mana" Volk started his lecture while Volpe nodded.
Volk and Volpe are both currently on their Beast people forms so that Daiki and Tatsumaki can learn their techniques easier and have a solid comparison also they are on a desert due to the accidents that might happen.
"And like everything else there are some exceptions, for example the two of you which are one hundred percent a prime example of this having both an excellent vessel which supports a amazing quantity and quality of chi it can also house a astonishing amount of mana with amazing quantity and quality" Volk continued while Volpe continued to nod in agreement.
"Both are extremely powerful and could potentially or possdestroy the entire world that's why the two can never mix" Volk continued.
"Then what are we going to do? I mean you basically told us to mix the two earlier" Tatsumaki said while having a Vein faintly pulsing on her forehead while Daiki was just quiet.
"You can mix the two but one needs to be extremely careful when doing so since it chi is the life of a being while mana is what makes it able to move when the two of them are gone then your dead" Volk said while Volpe nodded.
"The two of you try to use chi and mana at the same time" Volk ordered while Volpe was nodding at first until she realized what Volk was trying to make their students do so she hit him in the head.
"Why would you order them to do just that when you haven't even shown how to do it!!!!!" Volpe shouted as she repeatedly smacked Volk on the head.
"Ow! Ow!! Ouch!!!" Volk repeatedly said as he tried to block Volpe's blows only to be in vain.
"But look at Daiki casually doing it, that's why I thought that Tatsumaki could do the same..." Volk whimpered as he touched the big bump on his head.
Volpe looked towards Daiki's direction and saw Daiki using Ice magic with chi enforcing it and making it more powerful but then an accident happened since Daiki got distracted by being hit by a falling pebble hitting him on the head.
Daiki accidentally launched a piece of ice shard with unstable mana and chi infused in it.
"Get him out of there!!!" Volpe ordered to Volk as she grabbed Tatsumaki and straight up run away from the explosion that was going to happen.
The two moved so fast to the point one could argue that they went faster than the speed of sound then abruptly stopping.
*Gggggggggggggggg!!!* *BOOM!!!* A deafening sound of explosion echoed throughout the caverns below while also creating a gigantic mushroom cloud that could rival a hydrogen bomb's mushroom cloud and also accidentally unearthing some [Ancestral Dragon Bones] [Orichalcum] [Mythril]
"..." Daiki, Tatsumaki, Volpe, and Volk are all currently speechless since normally when someone tries to fuse mana and chi as one and fails it would only create a explosion big enough to utterly destroy a ten kilometer radius forest but if it is incredibly dense in mana like where Volk and Volpe lives then it would only be a ten meter radius destruction.
"T-This is a-a [Zone] r-right?" Volk asked Volpe for confirmation while having an expression of fear plastered on his face.
"Y-Yeah" Volpe answered shakily.
'Are you even still a mortal?!!' Tatsumaki seriously wanted to ask Daiki right now but is just too shocked to even open her mouth.
'Am I still even a mortal?' Daiki asked himself but came up with no answers.
"..." The silence continued until another day arrived.
The four of them have slept on Volk's and Volpe's place. Daiki himself was quite surprised when Volk casually pressed a random stone on the wall then a part of the wall opening and revealing a set of stairs, the four of them slept on teh same room but there were only two beds that's why Daiki and Tatsumaki had to share one.
Daiki also found out that Tatsumaki always moves around a lot when she sleeps which made him not be able to sleep even for thirty minutes before being abruptly either kicked or punched or suddenly hugged or even suddenly kissed on the cheeks or having his tail be used as some sort of body pillow.
"Mmm... Good Morning..." Daiki said still half asleep then he realized that everyone was still asleep so he took out different sizes of gears along with a rather flat but spherical container with different engravings of Roman Numerals on it like XII III IV and IX that is when you open it and when it is closed a crest like insignia is popped out from the pocketwatch that looks like a wolf and fox head half merged along with the moon half covering the sun in the background along with Ice vines with leaves that seems to illuminate surrounding the Half Wolf and Half Fox head.
Daiki started to assemble it but there were some parts that confused him that's why he didn't put them on it since he deemed them not necessary but the pocket watch didn't start that's why he tossed the parts back inside his storage.
'Hmmm... Now that I think about it, how did I even get my pocketwatch from my previous life? it wasn't even on me when I reincarnated here... or has it always been in my [Dimensional Storage]?' Daiki wondered and tried to remember when did he find out about that pocketwatch and how did he know about its existence but came up with nothing.
Meanwhile Tatsumaki who woke up and saw Daiki tinkering with something made her want to take a closer look but she somehow convinced herself not to and pretend to be asleep that's why when Daiki placed the parts back to his [Dimensional Storage] Tatsumaki was surprised about the pocketwatch especially about the design.
'No way!! Is Daiki... him?!! Nope that can't be true!! that guy cheated death multiple times already so how can he die that easily!!' Tatsumaki tried to convince herself but it only made her doubt herself more.
'I need him to finish it first so that I can try and start it with the key I got from the start so that I can find out about the truth... but now the question is how?' Tatsumaki is currently brainstorming about how Daiki would let her touch it, a 'random stranger'
'If he is still like his past self then he wouldn't even let me have a look at it!!' Tatsumaki thought and started thinking up of ways about how she could get the chance to take a look at the pocketwatch.
Daiki on the other hand noticed Tatsumaki wriggling around on her bed and decided to leave since he wanted Tatsumaki to have some private time to do her 'business' (no lewd).
"Morning!" Volk greeted then went out.
"I still have fresh meat, vegetables, herbs, and spices here..." Daiki said to himself since Volk had already sped up outside of the cave.
"Don't worry about it too much, that guy is always like that" Volpe said while looking like a beautiful woman without any bed hair or messy clothes whatsoever!!
'I thought this was going to be the cliché where the beautiful instructor is bad with mornings!! but it was not!!!' Daiki wanted to say it out loud but decided not to since it might reveal his reincarnation.
'I thought she was the typical beauty who hates mornings and have the worst bed hair and messy clothes once she wakes up!!!' Tatsumaki wanted to say out loud but desperately forced her mouth not to open.
Daiki took a look at Tatsumaki who continued to roll around the bed which made her clothes ruffled and her hair messy.
"Couldn't sleep?" Volpe asked Daiki.
"Yes since a certain someone wouldn't let me" Daiki grumbled which made Volpe giggle.
"That just goes to show that she trusts you to the point that she is even willing to show her embarrassing side to her" Volpe said to Daiki while ruffling his hair.
"Or she is just really too unruly when sleeping" Daiki retorted while sitting on a chair on the dining table seemingly doing nothing but the truth is that he had been practicing inside his [Dimensional Storage: Training Mode] and is actually trying to incorporate his attacks with chi which was extremely difficult causing him to explode countless times.
'Maybe I can purposely make some Ice shards be stable yet still unstable to use it as a substitute for grenades' Daiki thought while having a wicked smile plastered on his face which made a chill go down on Tatsumaki's spine.
"Daiki is doing something outrageous right now" Tatsumaki commented as she stopped from brushing her hair and fixing her clothes.
"What do you mean? He's quietly sitting here" Volpe asked utterly confused about Tatsumaki's statement.
"He has a skill where he could train inside another dimension where time is a hundred times faster than the real world" Tatsumaki explained.
"Wow!! That's an amazing skill to have!!" Volpe shouted in surprise while her tail and ears stood up.
"But no one could exactly gain any benefits when you train there since even if you train your body for a hundred years there not even one point will be added to your strength stat" Tatsumaki explained.
"Then why does he even train there?" Volpe asked.
"Ah!! He is practicing the skill where he would use chi and mana on his attacks or defense!!" Volpe answered own question.
"That's right! since that place is basically like someone's imagination, any damage taken there won't affect the real world but it can still hone your skills!!" Tatsumaki proudly exclaimed.
"Seems like Volpe-sensei and Tatsumaki are already bonding by talking about me" Daiki casually joined in their conversation.
"Ow!!" Daiki got slapped by the two which caused two handprints to appear on both of his cheeks.
'Okay, I deserved that' Daiki thought.
"Hel- Bwahahhahahaha!! What the hell happened to you?!!! Hahahhahahaha!!!" Volk started to laugh on Daiki's misfortune then casually opens the door for the bathroom only to be greeted by two extremely powerful slaps which made him look like a pig.
"Hahahhahahaha!!! Divine Retribution!!! Hahahhahahaha!!!!" Daiki continued to laugh while the handprints on his cheeks were already fading.
"Bwis Hursts!" Volk tried to speak but his cheeks were too swollen to be even allow him to speak properly.
"Bwaiki pwease make me a putin" Volk desperately tried to say but will soon regret it since this is the part where Daiki's curse comes into play.
"Fine..." Daiki said then went to the storage room and got some recovery grass, mana ginseng and dried leaves of [Sephirot] which is actually the tree that is casually standing near them.
Normally this three ingredients are enough to make a high grade potion and when added with Dragon Bone Powder it could actually be a pseudo Elixir.
Daiki followed the steps taht is written on the recipe book taht was given to him by Volpe to every single letter and came out with a clear liquid to the point that someone could mistake the container to actually have nothing inside it but if one is observant enough he or she would be able to see some faint glimmers from the liquid reflecting light.
"Did I do it right?" Daiki wondered.
"Oh well I'll just make Volk-sensei be my guinea pig" Daiki shrugged and forcefully made Volk drink his potion concoction.
"Let me explain, the clearer the result of a potion is the more potent it is, this is especially true when creating potions" Volpe casually explained.
Volk collapsed, this confused Volpe and actually took a small sip from the potion that Daiki had made.
Long story short she collapsed as well and woke up the next day along with Volk.
"Daiki, your not allowed to ever create any potions whatsoever unless it is for enemies, got it?!!" Volpe said while seemingly forcing Daiki which could only make Daiki nod.
'I wonder why that very high grade looking potion made me collapse even though it absolutely felt like a how a wonderful high grade potion should feel like...' Volpe wondered then used a #%$^^$* to check the potion and saw something horrible and scary, thankfully Daiki forgot about a necessary part of the process or else even the two of them might have died.
"Yeah... your not allowed to make any potions while your here" Volpe said firmly then Volk came out of the cave house once again to hunt but still with a pig face on.
After Volk went out and already covered a fairly long distance the three who were left started laughing uncontrollably.
