7 A.M.
Staring at the clock stuck on the wall of my house, I headed to the kitchen and made myself some coffee.
The lights of the villa were shut and I was the only person in the house. My parents already went to the guild and Nola was at day care.
...So I had the whole place to myself.
Sliding the door that led to the garden, I felt the morning breeze cool down my body instantly.
For the past few days, I had been fairly busy.
After spending a lot of time remodeling the warehouse as well as studying for my exams, I barely had any time to focus on my training.
The only time I had available was usually early in the morning.
"fuuuuu..."
Taking a deep breath, I sat crossed-legged in the garden. It was about time I broke through my rank.
Taking out multiple potions from my dimensional space, I opened the thumb-sized bottle cap and gulped one of the potions down.
-Gulp!
At first, the potion was tasteless. But soon after, a bitter aftertaste invaded the tonsils of my tongue.
