Jericho reached the homeless man that got beat up. He then helped him to stand up. "Thank you, oh young one. I give all my thanks to you for saving me from those bastard."
"Nah, don't worry about it." Replied Jericho. He then brought the homeless man to the nearest restaurant, and treated him some food.
"Why did they beat you up anyway, old man?" asked Jericho. "I was just sleeping, but then those guys beat me up for no reason. But I do hear that they said they just lost something real important." replied him.
"Really? Glad I was there to beat up their asses. Also, you told me that they lost something, right?"
The old man replied "Yeah. But I think I know what they lost." He then took something from his pocket. It was just an orb. "This thing rolled into me, so I took it and saved it in my pocket. Then all those guys come and beat me up."
"Ah. But why didn't you give it to them?" asked Jericho. The old man replied, "I was about to do that, but I got a feeling that I shouldn't."
Jericho, upon hearing this, was a bit shocked. How could a guys beat up an homeless man, just to find a single orb?
"Not only you saved me, you also treated me food. How could I ever repay this?", said the old man. "Alright, I'll give you this orb. Think it as a gift for saving me."
"Ah, no need to give me a gift. I just helped you for free without asking anything in return." replied Jericho. The old man then make a sad face, and this leave him speechless. He have no other choices but to accept it.
After accepting the gift, the old man then vanished in an instant. Jericho, upon seeing this, shocked. Then a voice came to his head, "Young ones, thanks for saving me. Think that orb as my gift. It will gives you the ability to use magic power."
Jericho hearing this, then go to his house in an instant. When he reached his house, he then meditate and tries to focus all the magic power that he achieved into his core. This process is called awakening. He tries to awaken his magic into the next stage.
Jericho doesn't just trained martial arts, but he also read a lot of books about magic. He has understand every concept about magic, so awakening is an easy thing for him.
After 30 minutes, Jericho successfully finished his awakening. "Finally. But I'm lacking a lot of mana. It safe to say that my mana is even less than a baby mana."
