{That was undoubtedly mana}
Fren smiled with a cold sweat as he looked at Saved's knocked out ass, feeling threatened by the kid, he actually had to use a hundred percent of his strength,mana and speed to dodge the kid's attack just now and punched Saved on the face then knocked him the hell out
{ He could move like that on his first use as well (felt freightened) I did expected him to be above the average bars considering his physical prowess and talent but } " I might have to try and recruit him if he's like this haha "
...
After that my knocked out ass was carried away by the maids who Fren called to come with a stretcher and carry me off to my room and call a healer for me ,he then left to prepare dinner for his master's family of 4
{ I'm gonna be 20 seconds late ,i can't believe this }(pissed off)
And watching how the entire thing play out from the window across the battlefield inside a room ,stood Julia in her private room looking at the scene where 2 maids carry Saved away with a blank face, but her eyes clearly contained excitement
{ He finally awakened ! After a whole 2 days of battle against that bully Fren !He actually had him on the ropes too} (had a small smile)
She actually watched their training for the past 2 days during her free times and breaks ,and watching Fren clearly having so much fun while beating Saved up on the pretense of training had her developing a certain level of annoyance against Fren ,and watching Saved was not boring for her either, infact he was somewhat entertaining, being able to move and react like a wild beast like that while fighting against Fren who was trained to kill one was and putting up decent fights was also quite entertaining in a way
She was repeatedly surprised by his monstrous physique and senses that somehow allowed him to fight a mana user with his body's sheer strength ,all that being seen and studied by her ,she now understands why her master asked him whether he was human or not ,she was also doubting his humanity herself by now, but in another way she was also beginning to understand how he was able to fight beings like the boar king ,and now that he had awakened his mana core he would only get stronger now
" ....I should train too "
She left her room and went to the training hall in the evening feeling somewhat threatened

The table of the Flameheart Raven family as usual was filled with various delicacy with only fresh and healthy ingredients
Eric sat on the table's fore front eating his meal with elegance, Martha did the same and so did her 20 years old son , Eric's heir and her younger 15 years old daughter , Fren stood still at Eric's left waiting for them to finish
" Fren (put his fork down) "
" At your service my lord "
" What happened today?( With a pleasant expression )"
Fren's brows went slightly up in surprise
" Pardon? "
" Your hair, there's dirt on it "
" Aah! "
Indeed there was an ignorable lump of dirt on his hair that would go unnoticed by most people,by Eric wasn't like most people
Ashamed of showing such a dirty sight Fren apologized but Eric didn't allow him to change the topic and asked
" Now tell me what happened today "
" ...Mr Saved has awakened "
Martha stopped eating for a moment and then listened as she was rather curious,he eldest son did the same ,the daughter simply continued eating
{ He awakened huh, although a bit later than I thought he would}" I see then ,then his favour has been completed? "
Fren thought for a moment
{ He did awakened but I'm not sure if he can be called a magician yet, it might've been on a spur the moment }" Please give me another day to confirm that my lord "
Eric smiled and shrugged
" You sure are taking your time with him, I'll allow it ,tell me what colour his mana is when he properly awakens then "
" I will "
"...ah! About his quest, did you took care of it for him like he asked ?"
" The Aurslane grass quest my lord? Yes it has been taken care of at Mr Saved's name, the grass has been delivered to the client ".
" I see then...(drank his wine)...{ My favour for him will be over tomorrow it seems } "

The following day
At dawn
I woke up on the familiar bed facing the familiar ceiling, it was the guestroom of the Raven mansion,the room I was lended by Viscount Raven to use until my favour was done
Alone in the humblest room that I requested, I sat up on my bed
The world felt blurry , a painful sensation burned on the my face where I remembered to have gotten punched on by that motherf- sparring partner of mine, even though I probably got healed using ‹Minor heal› the sting didn't fade
{ Accursed guy!! }
Anger and annoyance erupted in my mind for a moment
But then I also remembered another thing, back when I dodged that impossible to dodge downward slash ,I definitely felt it , 'Magic', the way my limbs felt lighter , stronger and my senses sharpened, all of that was made me feel invincible for that moment. But at the end of the day it was what caused me to get punches in the face
{ I should've retreated back then and familiarised myself with that strength first!(frustrated)" Well no use locking the door after things went missing , so then (i stood up) Magic huh....."
I raised a hand out and then focused
{ Come on out }
" Magic Come out !! "
.....
{ Hmmm how about this! }
" Sparkle!! "
.....
" Bibbidi bobbidi boo!!! "
.....
...
" ( I looked at the ceiling and then back to my hand){ I'm a magician right? (Started feeling a bit doubtful)} " Abracadabra? "
...
" Aarrg (grunted) {It doesn't work like that i suppose.....from all the stories I've read, if chanting with concentration doesn't work ,then magic usually works with mental images or ruinic languages, first let's try the second option}
"(I raised my hands out again) hoooooo "
{ Imagine ,magic covering your body and enhancing your strength like all those characters I've read and watched ,bones tendons, ligament, muscles ,bloodflow , skin, enhance and cover all of it}
Tsssssh
" {I can feel it clearly this time, heart ,chest and then through limbs empowering them with incredible strength that made me feel atleast 2 times stronger....more }(imagined the flow of energy like that of blood)"
Tss
Tssssh
Zrrrty
The light then completely enveloped my body, I coul feel it as I gripped my fist with a newfound strength
{ If it comes to imagination and belief, a Christian otaku like me ain't gonna fall short !} " (Smiles and opened his eyes and looked at the blue mana as it enveloped his body) Fren Hithman ,today I'm winning and then gegegege (looked really vile and treacherous) "
