Time Magic was finally Level 2, and Chron wanted to test what changed with his Spells with the upgrade, however he had already depleted his Mana so it was Meditation time again.
Before that though, Chron had been thirsty for a while now, and the only reason he hadn't drank any water was because he was not sure whether the Pond Water was safe. However, he had been glimpsing again and again at the pod for a while now and it looked too clear, too clear in fact that it was weird, because with how dusty the cave is, how can a water as clear as it exist?
Well whatever, he's too thirsty and the water is clear, so why not try? So Chron scooped up water with his hands and drank. The water was tasty, and Chron was now sure that it was not regular water, because the moment the water passed through his throat he felt Mana being distributed through his body.
The Mana was a bit much though, so Chron hurriedly got into Meditation and tried to fuse his Blood with Mana again, and unlike earlier he got results. The abundant Mana helped the process and some Mana finally fused with his Blood. So riding on the success, Chron repeatedly overwhelmed all his Blood with Mana, until all of them absorbed even a little of it, and the moment all of his blood has Mana, a pop-up finally showed.
[You have learned new Skills: Meditation, Mana Guidance, Mana Blood]
Chron expected Meditation and Mana Blood. However, he didn't expect that he would also get Mana Guidance, but thinking about it, that's what he's been doing for a while now, trying to guide the Mana to fuse with his Blood. All of this was possible, because of the abundant Mana he just absorbed.
One more new thing Chron noticed was that, the moment he got the Mana Blood Skill, the leftover Mana fused with the Blood that has less Mana than others automatically, until all of the Blood has equal amounts of Mana. He also felt his body getting stronger subtly. With all the observations done, Chron then looked at their description.

Skill | Mana Blood
Rank: I
Level: 1
- The Skill every Martial Artist dreamed of having.
- When Mana enters your body, your blood would automatically absorb it.
- The blood would then slowly strengthen your body through it's circulation. The more Mana in the Blood, the faster the strengthening.
- The user can also use the stored Mana in the Blood to strengthen their attacks.

All three Skills are excellent additions in Chron's repertoir. Meditation would help him relax whenever he is stressed and also helps him when sensing Mana. Mana Guidance would be a good start if he wanted to start learning Magic. Finally, Mana Blood is a very valuable Skill that would help him continously improve his physique.
Also, with his Blood now automatically absorbing Mana, Chron also saw improvement in his Mana Regeneration, it now regenerates about 2 Mana per minute, though not much improvement, it was a wonderful addition.
Chron still haven't given up his idea of fusing his Heart or Brain with Mana just like his Blood. However, he would only risk trying it when he got Healing Magic or some kind of Regeneration Skills, and he would need to level Up the Skill to a high enough Level that would allow him to heal some damage on his organs.
Well, all that would be a problem for the future him, for now he would focus on Leveling Up his Time Magic to about Level 5, so he can Level Up his other Skills at ease.
Chron fell into a routine after he decided to Level Up his Time Magic. When his Mana was full, he would use Time Acceleration and Visions of the Past, until he used up all of his Mana. Then he would drink Mana Water and Meditate to fuse more Mana into his Blood, until he regenerates his Mana fully again.
During the 2 days of this routine, Chron never slept or rested, and even gained Skills from it.
[You have learned new Skills: Sleepless, Workaholic]
The Sleepless Skill, lessens his need for sleep, while the Workaholic Skill helps lessen the tiredness he feels while working, as long as he's working.
Both the Skills were excellent, because he would have a lot of Skills in the future and that would all take a lot of work to Level Up and this two Skills would be an investment for that.
During the two days, Chron also never felt hungry, which he attributed to the Mana Water - the only thing he drank the past few days. This not only brought relief to Chron because he would never go hungry, but also brought him a gigantic relief that he didn't need to beg a certain 'Great' Red Chick for food.
Well now that all that is done, here is the result of his training this past two days.
[Time Magic Lvl 2 –> Time Magic Lvl 5]
[Meditation Lvl 1 –> Meditation Lvl 3]
[Mana Guidance Lvl 1 –> Mana Guidance Lvl 3]
[Mana Blood Lvl 1 –> Mana Blood Lvl 3]
Actually, if Chron didn't hold back on his use of Meditation, he might have Leveled his Time Magic Up faster, well that's all he could do to keep his life, for now...
Now that Time Magic was at Level 5, Chron's next plan is to level Up his Job, which means Leveling Up Status Viewing. However, before Chron could start on another training, he passed out.
