It's been two years since then..
I'm now seven years old....
the legal minimum age to obtain a job in accordance with imperial legislation.
My father has received a funeral and been hailed as the village hero over the past two years.
Due to this, my family—of which my father is the first generation—was acknowledged as a family of knights.
I currently represent the Ari Knights family's second generation.
I am now a noble, as is my mother.
however...
I am aware that it wasn't only due to my father's involvement because I had the job of ⟦Supreme Magi⟧.
That makes me angry.
But despite my wrath, I have my own plans that I cannot thwart.
The years have gone by very quickly.
I had a set regimen that I stuck to during this time.
I wake up in the morning and have breakfast at the same time, avoiding my mom's incessant temptations.
I then walk into the woods to work on my weak physical stamina.
After midday, I meet again my mom, and she teaches me new skills while also teaching me about the skills I acquired and informing me about things I was unaware of.
It continues into the evening, so I should take a shower and restore the mana I used up to work out.
And then eat dinner while again avoiding temptations.
Only in the night, I naturally go to sleep.
The past two years have seen a continuation of this routine drill.
It's time for me to go set up in the Magic Tower now.
After much thought, I decided with my mom that I should return to the Dryad clan and meet my own race, as well as learn about the prohibited secrets that the High Dryad learns when it becomes ruler.
My mom will return, therefore I will obviously not be the ruler, but I will surely become the successor.
She assured me that although I would be rejected as a man and *just* a partner, my mom would handle the rest.
I want to discover why a legendary race like the Dryad exists here.
And I could find such information in the Dryad clan...
But before I return to the Driyad clan, I impose a condition, I must organize myself in the magical tower....
That is because I have the job that all wizards and warriors desire, the job of ⟦Magi⟧
My job is obviously special in that it is only available to Highs races and is complex.
So I'm forced to ask about my race.
I refused to let my mom accompany me despite her insistence.
She had to return to the Dryad clan to find me a place to stay and inform them of our situation.
.....
Hoff, I've finally finished my training.
The last day will be today because I'm traveling to the tower tomorrow.
The tower is located in the imperial capital,
So it will take 4 hours if I fly at my maximum speed.
If we take into consideration the breaks I spent in each city since I couldn't fly over them without getting blasted,
The trip to the capital will take the full day.
"Did you finish your training, son? So go take a shower because I need to tell you something before you leave tomorrow."
What is the topic this time?
I realized my mother had made tea while she was waiting for me after I had washed.
I sat next to her on the couch, and she approached me.
Then she said softly, "Don't move."
Something weird felt strange in her mouth....
She was placing mana in her mouth.
And suddenly she bit me in the neck.
I didn't sense any risk from her at all.
Also, the Dryad sensation between us was just channeling love to me...
I thus did not use any of my skills.
Although the bite was a little painful due to the mana support....
The odd thing is that at the time, I thought there was something abnormal going on with my mana.
She remarked when she finished biting me.
"You're a perfect high dryad now."
How should I explain that?
I never imagined receiving such a gift in my whole life.
My mana has changed from being regular mana...
into holy mana!
Something you heard about a long time ago is what helps you appreciate the magnitude of this gift.
The mana of the gods is unique and vastly different from regular mana.
This is holy mana.
In other words, I now own the Mana of the Gods.
You can see how powerful and dangerous the Dryad race is just from this.
.....
I noticed something weird in my mana core after I had settled my mana.
There was another type mana that, until now, I was unaware of.
It seems to have occurred just after my mana transformed.
That Mana made me think of a battle I've had in the past.
against dragon!!
How ? Having a dragon's mana?
My mother questioned me since I couldn't hide my surprise.
"Do you sense anything strange?"
I expressed my emotions to her, but I was unaware that it was a dragon's mana.
"Have you said that there is an ominous mana adjacent to the holy mana? A curse is the only thing that can possibly come to mind"
My mom began to feel anxious.
I was surprised as well.....
How can the dragon mana within me be a curse?
My mom was unsure, but she told me that if I could learn a skill 〔the full state〕, I'd be able to determine whether or not it was a curse.
I was unaware of this skill previously...
One of my mom's lessons on skills was from a year ago.
She discussed the concept of "perfect mastering," which applies to both skills and jobs.
Perfect mastery is the maximum point of skill and job mastery.
There is a possibility that your skill will evolve when perfect mastery of a certain skill reaches 100%.
And as a result, my skills have evolved.
There are two ways to determine perfect mastery of your skill or job.
The first is the situation's jewel, and it is both pricey and scarce.
The second is skill was called "the full state" and it is incredibly rare.
You may master your skill by thoroughly understanding it or using it frequently.
Only then will you attain perfect mastry.
But it's sluggish.
I will be able to discover information like perfect mastery, psychological and physical condition, such as whether or not the person is happy, or am I sick or cursed, as well as other more specific things like race and the number of people I murdered, if I learn the skill of 〔the full state〕"
The number of people you killed...
I must admit that I'm really thankful that my mom never acquired this skill.
"As far as I can recall, just three people possess this skill, and one of them is a member of my clan; she is also my teacher."
Good, is better the less people own of it.
At the very least, so I can learn this skill.
"I'm sorry, son, but I guess we'll have to wait till you return to the clan."
I sense that she gets more anxious with time.
Was telling her a bad idea?
I had to increase the amount of barriers that night since my mom wanted to sleep in my room with me due to her "anxiety."
It was really wrong to tell her.
