[Akio Pov]
After That, quite weird and a pretty extensive info dump about Dad's history of a few weeks ago, all about his encounter with a similar beast with mana according to his description, like the Boar I had just captured a while ago, which had the flame attribute instead of the Sabertooth that Dad was talking about earlier, which seems to have the lightening Attribute.
My siblings seemed to have become all pumped from Dad's speech earlier, as they appeared to be much more eager to go on hunts, which they thought they could find a mana beast, which although Akio wasn't sure would still probably increase a person's physical strength no matter the animal at least based on a theory he had thought of when directing and eating the meat earlier, were the reason that Mana bests seem to give enhanced strength to humans, is due to the meat or old body of the mana beasts, being exposed to the beast's mana, which probably enhanced the taste and strength of the meat, which then ends up being transferred to a human's body, when the meat is eaten, or the slight thought that due to the mana left in the meat, the body of humans in this world, which all have mana inside of all of them, that due to the digestion of a mana beast's meat which may have caused the mana inside the human's body to be slightly awaken to the powers of mana, which may have strengthened their bodies, as a side effect of the mana from the beast and the mana in the human body combining or colliding.
Although most of these theories were just something that Akio thought of, relating to the improvement of a person's physical strength from eating a mana beast's meat, although he still had to observe and eat another mana beasts to fully see if this theory was any plausible.
So anyways as my siblings had become more pumped than ever to get those beasts, I instead just discreetly go back to my tent, as I am quite tired ever since I woke up earlier in the midnight, which then resulted in all this crazy events that just happened in the last few hours, however as I started headed back to my tent, I then felt a hand lay itself on my shoulders which made me slightly surprised, and when I took a look on who it was, I then saw that it was actually my older sister Akane, which among all my sisters was probably what we used to call girly since, despite her liking to hunt as well, she was one of the few in the family who really liked knitting, cooking, looking good despite all of us legitimately having only one type of clothing that is tied up with a single rope, with at least some type of primitive underwear, that thank God has been passed down by the Ancestors, or else it's gonna really be embarrassing for me back when I first reincarnated, and even though we have a type of primitive underwear which is quite itchy compared to modern ones, but hey begged can be choosers in a stone era world.
So anyways as Sister Akane approached me, she just asked me whenever I can tell her were I found the Boat exactly, and as seeing that she probably wouldn't leave me alone just like everyone here, who are all very persistent, I. just told her where it was, and I also have her the remaining paralyzing balls and one poison-filled bottle, as a precaution, since even if she is stronger than me for now, a beast-like that boat still has magic attacks by the looks of their appraisal's so ordinary attack may sometimes not work on them, and finally after chatting with her for a bit I finally was able to enter my tent for rest.
[5 Hours Later]
It was already Noon after I fell back asleep into my tent, and as I woke up, I realized that everyone seemed to have already gone on the hunt, and they see that even Emily's Gear in the Tent is gone, then It would be safe to say that they knew that I fell asleep maybe as a favour for giving them those meat or because they were a bit thoughtful to what happened to me a few hours ago, they seemed to have let me sleep when they saw me sleeping back in the tent.
And after checking all the nearby places in the camp, in seeing that if someone was still in the camp, Which I found no one, which was a bit disappointing for my weeb brain, for thinking a cliche when someone hides nearby while you think you are alone in the house those type of cliches.
So after seeing that no one is indeed their, I then decided to now more practically observe the Mana Stone from the Board's core/brain with the tools I had made and brought here, as a precaution back then to either develop new paralyzing and poisoious poison in case we ran out in the hunt, but with this new research material for my Mana Research I could finally use the tools I had painstakingly tried to recreate with prehistoric tech, researching tools, and such to try and use them to find an actual use for me to use Magic, which is very interesting for me, and is basically one of my number goals in this second life of mine.
And after I had managed to basically use all of my tools in trying to find out the use of the Mana Stone from the boar, I finally gave up since the results that appeared after the research detailed that the Mana Stones are for sure not a mineral that had been present in the modern era before, and the surface of it isn't really different form a normal gemstone.
And with the failure in research I had become slightly depressed after all this time ,due to more than. 7 years of research with now finding an item that could legitimately let me find a way to use the research I've been trying to find out from the last six years, and finding out absolutely nothing despite the preparations used.
And due to my frustrations of nothing finding anything, I was about to throw the Mana Stone on the ground but as I picked up the Mana Stone with my hands, unlike before I feel something very strange currently happening, as although he is still not sure, I the. felt what is surely the Mana inside the stone suddenly absorbing a part of the energy in the body, probably the result of me eating more of the boar's meat earlier.
When I realized this my previously pissed emotion had smoothened as I now felt a excitement like when he first met that Boar and eating for the first time it's very delicious meat.
As I realized this I the. tried to focus my mind into my palm were the Mana Stone was absorbing energy from my body, I suddenly see a vision in my mind when I tried to focus on to the Mana Stone, a complicated set of circuits like lines, that I could sense in the Mana. Stone, and as I finally felt that for the first time in my life, I then feel a warm and pleassnt energy throughout the body and by pure instincts alone in my other hand, were the Mana Stone is not located, I the. guided my mind to focus on the very middle of my palm, and just like a newborn suddenly appearing in the world, when I took a look at my other hand, although nothing remotely strong or good, But what I saw definitely changes my mind's structure as I then murmured as I take a look at the tiny white ball floating about my hands.
