Celia found herself alone and in the end it wasn't bad, because she wanted to do plenty experiments and she didn't necessarily want to have spectators.
She took all the magic herbs out of the magic bag and placed them on the ground in six groups, one group for one magic pill.
She decided to start with a basic magic pill, the mind-opening pill.
She repeated the same gestures as for the fasting pill and understood what Liam meant, it was even easier to create.
She needed to use very little spiritual energy to create this pill, so she decided to try to make two at a time, she just needed to use both of her hands, one for each pill.
The first two stages went without any difficulty, but the third one was a little more complicated. She could no longer put her hands in triangles to condense her energy, and her position with the outstretched palms did not suit her to finish the process either.
She decided to try with her palms turned to the sky, she could manage her energy relatively well this way, she made the two sets of powder herbs, now clear of all impurities, come above each of her hands, and indeed, about thirty seconds later, after condensing her spiritual energy to those two sets, two magic pills appeared, one in each of her hands.
Two were the most she could do at the same time at the moment, she would have to learn to better control her spiritual energy if she wanted to do more at once.
It only took her an hour to finish the forty basic magic pills. Then she made the intermediate magic pills the same way, she needed four minutes to make two magic pills at a time, one minute longer than the basic magic pills.
An hour and a quarter later, Celia had finished the thirty-seven magic pills and decided to take a break. Not that she felt tired, but she missed Anaya.
She wanted to see her wife, and maybe with a little luck they could take a break together.
Celia arrived on the training ground and Anaya was alone in the combat ring practicing complex martial arts moves. Liam was sitting on the bench watching her, sensing Celia's presence he waved his hand to tell her to come closer.
Celia sat down next to him and asked: "So how's it going?"
Liam looked at her smiling: "Anaya really doesn't have anything to envy you. She has a really good foundation, much better than I imagined.
I had her do physical tests also on the machines there, with my experience Anaya is already stronger than most level three fighters, you really don't have to worry for her, Anaya is a true genius."
Celia was impressed: "Oh wow really! I already knew that she was smart, but it seems that she is really amazing. So how do you train her?"
Liam looked at Anaya again and replied to Celia: "I know I shouldn't, but since her foundation is already solid, I'm training her like I would train a level two fighter.
Anyway, Anaya, in a day or two will level up to level two I have no doubts about that. Have you made the energy magic pills?"
Celia pouted: "No, not yet, I have finished the basic magic pills and the intermediates one. I wanted to see Anaya, so I took a break."
Liam looked at her surprised: "Did you finish eighty magic pills in not even two and a half hours?"
Celia sighed: "Liam, seriously, every time you react like that, I feel like I'm truly a fuc*ing monster.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take for others to make so many magic pills?"
Liam replied: "I'm sorry Celia, I'll try to be more careful in the future, you're just a little too extraordinary that's all."
Celia smiled after the comment and Liam added: "The other mages, to make eighty magic pills with a hundred percent success rate, and with a hundred percent purity rate, well, I don't know any, you are the first one who can do that.
Otherwise, on average for someone who has just started his training, it takes him two to three days to be able to make eighty magic pills and I am talking only about the basic pills with an average purity level of eighty percent."
Celia was shocked: "Oh really? Well, at least, I understand your reaction better now.
Coming back to Anaya, I can feel a little pressure coming from the combat ring, does she train with gravity?"
Liam looked at her admiringly: "Ah Celia, Celia, how can you feel that? But yes, Naya trains with a level two gravity force, and she's doing really well. Celia, you can stay a bit, but Anaya won't take a break for a good hour. I just gave her a theoretical lesson on the weak points of the human body.
You can go and make some energy magic pills for her, that will be very useful to her."
Celia pouted: "Liam, you're not ashamed, you're throwing me right out."
Celia had said that in a laughing tone and when Liam smiled, she said: "Got it, I'm leaving, I'm going to finish these magic pills and come back to study with the two of you. Tell Anaya that I came to see her and that I am very proud of her."
Liam nodded: "Sure sweetheart, we'll do it like that. Ah no wait, I wanted to ask you something about Naya ..."
Celia looked at him surprise and asked: "What is it?"
Liam told her what Anaya said earlier to him: "I asked Anaya where she had learned those martial arts moves because they were really perfectly executed.
She told me that a woman came every six months into the village of her orphanage and trained her, not only martial arts but also basic swordmandship and she gave her skills books and basic books about fighter knowledge, did she tell you about that woman?"
Celia frowned: "No she didn't, Liam don't forget that we just met, I don't share Nara's memories so I don't know anything about her past.
I can see that you feel something fishy about it, am I right?"
Liam smile at her but he was really serious when he added: "Yeah, there is something fishy about that woman, if by any chance we meet her in the future, you should be on guard, do you understand?"
Celia nodded: "Got it, you think that woman knows about Anaya bloodline and she can be dangerous."
Liam said: "It's very easy to talk with smart people, you got it right sweetheart, Naya is still young and naive so we should protect her."
Celia smiled at him: "I will leave her in your care then, see ya I need to finish those magic pills."
Liam nodded with satisfaction and watched her leave before focusing back on Anaya's training.
Two and a half hours later, Celia returned to the training ground with her magic bag and two magic pills in one hand.
Liam was giving Anaya another theory lesson, showing her some places on a model's body, and teaching her how to exploit those weaknesses.
Celia joined them and sat down next to Anaya taking her hand. Anaya gave her a beautiful smile, then she focused on Liam's class again, waiting for him to finish before talking to Celia.
Liam didn't let Celia's arrival disturb him, and even winked at her. Thirty minutes later his class ended and he announced to Anaya that it was over for today.
Anaya asked: "Is that all for today?"
She looked a little disappointed, she was thirsty to learn, but Celia was here now, so it was for the best.
She had missed her wife a lot, so she added quickly: "Okay, okay, let's train tomorrow then, it must be past midnight already, right?"
Celia replied: "It's half past one in the morning sweetie, it's time to go back to our suite. Liam, I brought you two energy magic pills. I'll leave them with you, you will give them to Anaya when the time is right."
Liam took the two magic pills and ate one, Celia exclaimed: "Hey, they were for Anaya! A level one magic pill can't help you anyway, can it?"
Liam replied: "Nope, they can't really help me. I had to test one because your magic pills are unique. Did you manage to remove all the impurities again?"
Celia replied a little annoyed: "Obviously, why do you think I took so long to do them? You were right, high level magic pills are more difficult to process than others.
So if you compare my pills to other mages's pills, what's the difference?"
Liam thought before answering: "I would say your energy magic pill is well worth the level two one, or if you prefer, it's worth at least five normal energy magic pills level one.
If I give it to Anaya now, she'll go straight to level two for sure. I hesitate."
Anaya was not sure to have heard correctly so she asked: "Liam, did you just say that Cel's magic pill was worth five normal magic pills level one, like the one we could buy in a magic pills shop?"
Liam just nodded and then Anaya said: "Wow! You're so amazing my love, everyone will fight to buy your magic pills, you're so awesome."
Liam sighed: "Seriously Naya, do you know that, since you're the fighter, you should be the dominant one.
But you always act like Celia is a goddess, aren't you scared girls? You probably know that one of your energies must be tame right?"
Anaya looked at Celia and gave her a signal for her to speak: "Well, yeah we know, but I don't agree with that, don't misunderstand me, I don't care if It's Naya who tame my energy.
I just feel that taming an energy will limit its power so we train our energies to mixed together and learn from each other to avoid issue in the future."
Liam was doubtful: "Is it really possible to do that? Well don't answer me right now but let me know how it is going, okay girls?"
Celia: "Okay, we will let you know. Now for Anaya you shouldn't hesitate, give it to her. You told me yourself that her foundation is solid, and that she can already compete with level three fighters."
Liam ends up saying: "Yeah you're right. Here, Anaya, the passage from the level one to the level two is naturally effortless, you will just feel a slight acceleration in your chakra circulation."
Anaya took the pill and ate it. She felt a powerful energy surge through her meridians, the chakra circulation channels, and indeed, after a good five minutes, she felt the slight change in circulation rhythm that Liam was talking about. She was already a level two fighter, she couldn't believe it.
