THUD!
The mana vein opened!
--------
I felt the mana rush through the mana vein, it flowed in like a violent river.
Haha.. so this is what it feels like..
even with just one mana vein unblocked, the power boost that it gave was not something to be laughed at.
The 80% of mana that came out of my heart was sliced to 60%. It took 20% of it to unblock the mana vein.
Nano, use the remaining 60% of mana that I have remaining outside of my heart to unlock the right shoulder mana vein, chest mana vein, and the pelvis mana vein.
< Affirmative. >
Once again, I felt the mana condense into a stream rushing towards the other veins and continuously unblocking them one by one.
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
I opened my eyes, clearly feeling the effects of unlocking 4 of the mana veins.
It was midnight, I felt tired. After all that has happened, it took a huge toll on my mind. My body is clearly rejuvenated due to unlocking the mana vein and absorbing mana but my mind felt heavy, sluggish, and cloudy. It was hard to think, so I went to bed and rested.
[ 8 hours after.. ]
[ Day 2 ]
I woke up.. slowly opening my eyes.
Chirp Chirp Chirp!
I got up and sat on the bed, thinking about what I should do today. Suddenly, the door opened and a maid and butler walked in.
" Good morning young master. It is time for you to get dressed and go down to have breakfast with your family. " said the butler.
I took a deep breath and proceeded to reply.
" Very well. " I said.
I got dressed in a light red tunic, engraved with beautiful golden runes, along with fine silk pants.
After getting dressed, I walked downstairs and went into the dining room where my family was at.
Opening the doors, I was greeted by the smell of steak, cooked to perfection. Matched with exquisite-looking side dishes. The room was well decorated, with expensive-looking decorations and paintings.
There, sat my father and mother. Along with my brother Adam Feysworth and my sister Ellie Feysworth. My brother was particularly gifted in swords play, achieving the grade of intermediate swordsman at the age of 22. My sister on the other hand was gifted in magic, reaching the realm of Novice Magician despite turning 17 this year which means she has 2 mana circles around her heart. Heck, these two are monsters. I still haven't achieved anything at 14.
" Come son come. How are you feeling? " asked my father.
" I feel better than I have before father. " I said.
" Wonderful! HAHA! " my father laughed.
" Brother come sit! " said both of my siblings.
I smiled seeing how joyful they are from hearing the news from yesterday.
" Alright, alright. " I said with a smile.
" It seems you can practice swordsmanship now brother. " said my brother Adam with a smug on his face.
" Seems like it, are you not curious as to why my body constitution has changed? " I asked.
" Some things are better left not known. You must have your secrets, so I won't bother digging them out. " said my brother.
" Hey, hey! I want to know! " my sister screamed while pinching my brother's thigh.
" Adel, tell me! " my sister asked with a pout.
" Secret. " I said with a smirk.
" UWAH! You better tell me! " said my sister.
" fufu~ enough you two, it seems like your father wants to say something," said my mother smiling.
" Adel. This afternoon you can start training with your mentor. He has already arrived, and you will meet him later on the practice ground. " said my father looking at me.
" Great! " I said with an excited tone.
I've always wanted to train with a sword. As a kid I have always watched the knights train, swinging their swords and sparring. It was my dream to be able to walk on the path of the sword.
" This is your chance, Adel. To walk on the path you have always wanted. I have seen you staring at the knights as a kid with admiration in your eyes. It.. makes me really happy the chance have finally come for you to do what you've always wanted. " said my father, with a small smile on his face.
" Mommy will support you all the way Adel, I'm sorry you were born with that weak body. I don't know what happened that caused it to change but I hope you'll find happiness with your new profound constitution. " said my mother holding in her tears.
" Yes, mother, father. I'll make you both proud. " I said in a sentimental tone. I knew they did nothing wrong.
" Alright, alright. It's morning, it's too early for this type of mood. " said my father.
" That's right. " said my sister, with her lips, perked up.
Yup, so everyone finished their meals, chatted a little, and left the dining room to go and fulfill their daily duties.
[ Several hours later.. ]
Looks like it's time for my first training session.
