{But that doesn't mean I can't this time.} He smiled. Being a pessimist wasn't an option. {I will save every child and destroy that organization!}
But he wasn't naive nor a fool. He knew there were powerful individuals backing the organization. If not, the Monarchs would have already wiped it out. It would be impossible for him to take them down alone. He needed to become stronger, at least reaching the peak of the S rank.
Furthermore, he knew that he wouldn't be alone. The Kaius Family and his mother's family would stand by his side! Maybe he would find new allies as well.
{Ok, I will think about those things later.} He muttered inwardly.
Those problems were too big for the current him.
For now, he needed to focus on getting stronger and making necessary changes along the way.
With determination in his heart, he continued reading.
{A 100% increase in both mental power and intelligence? Amazing!} His eyes sparkled with awe.
{A new mental ability? Mind Scan...} Samiel read the description of the new ability and couldn't help but feel satisfied.
Then he noticed the note at the bottom of the title.
{Right! If news about a baby awakening were to get out, it wouldn't be good for my family and me...} He finally started to realize the potential consequences. It would be really dangerous. {And I shouldn't use it on anyone without their consent. It would be inappropriate and I would hate it if someone used such a thing on me without my permission... Well... Unless they're my enemy.}
{And I think... I should postpone telling my family about my situation... It's better to wait until I awaken at 7...}
Initially, he had intended to establish a mind link with his mother or father when they returned and discuss it with them.
But for now, he chose to put those plans on hold.
Then he opened his second title and began reading.

"...Kyu?"
Samiel's mind went blank for a moment as his eyes landed on the difficulty of the title.
{Mythical? Did I read that right?} He asked himself in doubt.
He reread the info three times to make sure it was true.
{It's really Real.} He muttered inwardly. {Wait!}
{Did what I have done truly categorize as mythical? I didn't do that much! I simply followed the Monarchs' memories...}
Samiel doubted if it was fair. Sure, he had struggled, and the process of awakening his mind had been painful. But...
...
{No, I can't have this kind of mindset if I want to achieve what I desire.} He clenched his little fists, his eyes burning with determination. {As long as I use my powers to protect the peace, that's what matters the most!}
Click!
Suddenly, he heard a clicking sound across his mind space.
Swish!
{I-I'm ascending-!!!} Samiel instantly realized what was happening. {I'm ascending to the Mental Foundation Realm!}
As Samiel guessed, his last thoughts and mental state triggered a breakthrough.
Taking a deep breath, Samiel closed his eyes and focused his mind. In the next moment, he appeared in his Mind Space.
He was still sitting in his usual spot, however, he could move freely now. This didn't surprise him, as he knew he had already reached the peak of the Mind Awakening Realm. He had come this far after absorbing that vast amount of white light.
He could feel the energy within him, pulsating and surging, ready to break free from the confines of the Mind Awakening Realm. With each breath, he visualized himself shedding the limitations of his current state and embracing the vast potential that awaited him.
A soft, ethereal light enveloped Samiel, illuminating his surroundings. It was as if the very essence of his being was radiating with a newfound brilliance. The light grew brighter and more intense, casting a warm glow that seemed to penetrate his very soul.
As the light intensified, Samiel felt a gentle pull, urging him forward. He stepped onto an invisible staircase, each step resonating with a harmonious hum. With each ascent, he could feel his connection to the Mental Foundation Realm grow stronger.
The space around him crackled with energy, charged with the anticipation of his arrival. Samiel's senses heightened, and for a moment he could perceive the subtle shifts in the fabric of reality. The boundaries between the realms blurred, and he could sense the immense power that awaited him in the Mental Foundation Realm.
As he reached the final step, Samiel's eyes fluttered open, revealing a newfound clarity and determination. He stood on the threshold, the barrier between the two realms, and he could feel the energy of the Mental Foundation Realm beckoning him forward.
Rattle-!! Rattle-!!
However, as he was about to take the last step, he felt himself being pulled back. Then he noticed a large red chain entangling him, attempting to drag him back to his old space.
"Urgh..." A painful voice escaped his mouth as he felt a surge of electricity coursing through him.
"I... can't..."
