Del that was watching Cairo from the side moved and caught the kid before he fell to the ground. Del can't help but look at Cairo strangely
The magic the kid uses earlier has a huge potential. Although Cairo is slowly turning into a talented mage but he was still far from that. However, although he's still not at the genius level, Cairo still managed to make magic like that that has an interesting power and effect
Del just shook his head at the thoughts he was having. Whether Cairo is talented or not, his job is to make sure that he is safe.
Del controlled the surrounding mana and he flew in the air along with Cairo
The training grounds have different kinds of terrain that Del passed by and he soon arrived at the area with different houses. Those houses are real and Del let Cairo rest inside one of the houses
Since Cairo overused his strength, it would take him some time to regain consciousness and Del just sat on the chair without anything to do
After an hour, the most important person in the whole Kingdom arrives
"Your Majesty" Del immediately stood up from his seat to bow his head respectfully at the Queen
Kira just nodded her head before her eyes locked on Cairo. "What happened to him?" The woman asked while a frown formed on her beautiful face
"Your Majesty, the Young Master activated a strong magic earlier but it was not something he can easily use. That resulted in him overusing his power and the Young Master passed out" Del explained and Kira nodded her head
"Do you know why he doesn't want to become a real Mage like what his teachers advised to him?" Kira asked and a complex expression former in Del's face
"What is it? Tell me you all you know" Del didn't know if he should say this and he looks at Calter before speaking
"Y-You Majesty ... I didn't know the Young Master's exact reason but... I can see that he is ambitious" Kira agreed with that. Even back at Blood Sand Town, Cairo already showed that kind of characteristic
This kid always has magic and training in his mind, it wasn't weird that Del came to that conclusion since he was the one that is always with Cairo
"With the knowledge that is available for the Young Master, it shouldn't be surprising if he already knows what the consequences would be if he advanced in ranks now"
"He was studying things about Magic Cores before but his interest suddenly went into a different thing. As of now, he is researching things about parasites, shadow magic, and he also asked me about Soul Crystal Shards before. Unfortunately, I don't know what the Young Master wants to achieve with that" Del explained and a small rhombus diamond shape crystal appeared on top of Kira's hands
"Give this to him" Kira said and the golden crystals floated in Del's direction. "Y-Your Majesty, are you sure? Crystal Soul Shards are extremely rare"
Although Del wants Cairo to become a powerful mage but the Queen should still look at the bigger picture. If this shard was given to a talented mage, it would have the biggest benefit to the Kingdom
"This is my personal treasure, giving it to him is fine" Kira answered before walking towards the bed where Cairo is suddenly sleeping and she gave him a kiss on the forehead
Knock knock
The two heard knocking sounds from the door and Del went to check who it was. This house is inside Cairo's personal training grounds and not just anyone can enter it
Del saw an old man outside and he recognized that it was one of the Kingdom's officials
"Is the Queen inside?" The old man asked and Del nodded his head before opening the door wider
"Your Majesty, please read and sign these documents" a thick stack of papers appeared on top of the old man's hand but he acts as if he didn't even felt the weight of it
Well, he might be an old man now but he is certainly not weak. To become one of the Kingdom's officials, strength is necessary
Kira rubs her temples at that. Even when she only took a few minutes break, works still haunt her
"Take care of Cairo" Kira said to Del before exiting the house along with the old official and they flew in the air
"Being a Queen is really hard" Del muttered while shaking his head. Since the Kingdom is not in a good condition, a lot of works and policies should be implemented, and that all ate a lot of Kira's time, or more like it ate all of her time
Del just waited until Cairo woke up and that is a few hours later
---
Cairo opened his heavy eyelids while feeling some headache. Overusing one's magical power always had bad consequences
Although Cairo already slept for hours, he was still not completely fine. A fatigued soul will also make one's body tired and Cairo had a huge difficulty just by moving his body to sit on the bed
"Young Master, drink it" Del handed a small glass vial containing some green liquid inside to the kid and Cairo took it. The pain in his head is so painful and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible
Cairo drunk the vial's contents and he immediately felt cool soothing energy entered his head. It greatly lessened Cairo's headache and his mind felt clearer
"How long have I been asleep?" Cairo asked. "About six hours now" Del answered
"Six hours ..." Cairo muttered, that six hours is a long time. Just imagine how many training or how many information Cairo can read at that span of time
Seems like Cairo needs to be more cautious in the future. Magic is not something to be taken lightly! Cairo needs to mature more and not make such a stupid mistake again in the future
"The Queen visited you earlier but you're still unconscious" Del informed him much to Cairo's disappointment. It was a rare chance for him to see Kira but he's unconscious
Cairo sigh at that. Although he can understand why Kira doesn't have time for him but since he knew that she is his sister in the past life, his young heart was looking forward to spending more time with her
"The Queen also tasked me to give you this" Del said and the golden crystal appeared on top of his palm
When Cairo looks at it, he can't help but be shock. "Crystal Soul Shard!" The crystal is only small but it was an extremely rare resources
Even the world of the past Cairo that the current one assumed as more advance needs him to make a parasite to produce these shards
The crystal floated towards Cairo and it rested on top of his palm. Now, Cairo entered a dilemma. Should he use this shard on himself so that he'll be able to understand things faster or should he make a study on it so that he'll have more understanding of this treasure and it might assist him in his research?
Cairo didn't know what to do at that time before he realizes something. Since this treasure is special, won't the Kingdom's Mages decide to study it?
Maybe they did but they can't learn many things about it. If they can't understand the shard, how can Cairo understand it?
Thinking of that, Cairo decided to just absorb this shard. He was not too prideful to think that he can beat the expert mages in the Kingdom at his current state
The crystal was easy to use. Cairo just let his will enter the shard and it immediately sent a steady stream of soul power straight to his soul
Cairo's fatigued mind was immediately healed and it was even increasing in quality. His soul absorbs so much power that it almost causes it to jump in joy
The things that Cairo doesn't understand before suddenly seemed like an easy concept to him. Soon, Cairo stops absorbing the power inside the shard
Cairo can't take more or his soul will 'drown' and it would affect him badly. Even after Cairo absorbs a lot of energy, the shard only received quite a bit of decrease in size
This shard is really a treasure, it helps Cairo a lot but it still has a lot of energy. He can't wait to have many of these crystals
Cairo can't absorb all the crystal's energy in a single session but just how long would this crystal last him? It might only be available for five or six more absorptions and that is simply not enough for him
Thinking of this, Cairo decided to train again. His [Savage Ball] is the key for his future success, or more like the principles behind that magic
Cairo turned his focus in his palm and gathered mana in it. This time, the ball is smaller and the mana it has was also too low compared to the one he made before
But what Cairo needs is to master the suction power of this magic!
