Suddenly two vortexes appeared on the middle of my chest and the center of my abdomen. These vortexes acted like vacuums pulling in large amounts of Aura.
"Aghhhhhhh!!!!"
My aura core was forming quickly but my body was getting destroyed just as quickly by the overwhelming amount of Aura all at once.
Suddenly, blood started flooding out of my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose causing my father to panic.
"What's going on?! He's gathering too much Aura and he's losing control of it! I have to help him."
My father stood behind me and placed his palms on my back.
"Just focus on forming your core *Cough* *Cough* leave regulating the excess Aura to me!"
My father helped me just in time, allowing me to focus on forming my Aura Core.
A FEW HOURS LATER.
[Superior-grade Aura Core formed! All Stats +25!]
[Due to Aura forcefully changing your body! A shock Is Imminent!]
My father was also bleeding from his face as he stood up.
"That should be it! Huh? Why haven't you gotten up yet?"
Suddenly a shockwave of energy was released from my body.
[Your physical Stat +50! Your metaphysical stat +25 !]
I was floated into the air by the energy for a bit and then I floated back to the ground. Immediately the changes were obvious, I had visibly wider shoulders and thicker, larger muscles, along with a much taller body, my black hair reached down to my back. Though I was only 15 years old my body had already become that of an adult.
"Woah! I'm far taller and bigger than my past life, and I'm still only 15 years old in this life..!"
My father came running towards me, but his worry turned to shock when he saw me.
"Huh?"
"Haha. It's me, father."
My father examined me.
"I didn't want you to experience accelerated growth. *Sigh* It's known to rob people of their childhoods," he lamented.
"Don't worry, Father, the change is merely physical,"
I picked up a wooden sword from the ground and released my aura on it. Instantly, it began to shine faintly with a bright silver translucent energy.
"An incredibly pure Aura, that's good but I have to say, my son, your genius is too much! A 15-year-old aura user is unheard of!"
[Side Quest [A Swordsman's Path] Complete! +50 to physical stat.]
"Status Tab!"
A panel appeared with my Information on it.

"It's been a long day, go inside and rest. tomorrow I'll begin teaching you our family's sword art."
"Yes, Father."
I left.
"I wanted him to enjoy the peace of youth a while longer… maybe i'm being selfish.."
.
.
The next day I started learning the family sword art from my father. Time flew quickly and the time soon came for me to finally visit my mother's family, as well as the novel's main character.
1 YEAR LATER.
I fell to my knees from exhaustion and my father chuckled.
"Pheeew~ I know I've been hard on you this past year but it was all worth it, the family's sword arts have been engraved into you and as your swordsmanship grows I'm sure you'll eventually reach the level that our first ancestor achieved, [The Heaven Felling Sword]."
"*Huff* i-it was definitely worth it 'father', I've become a Knight in the sword!"
[Your Mana has reached the required threshold! You can now construct a 3rd Circle!]
"Finally, It was already at 99.5% last night!"
Even my father noticed.
"I can feel your mana surging my son!"
I sat down in a crosslegged position.
"I'm ready to construct my 3rd Circle, father."
My father shook his head.
"This monstrous talent of yours is truly unfair! focus and leave your surroundings to me."
Just like when I formed my first circle, I began by forming a small circle of mana from the surrounding mana, fusing it with all of the mana I had gathered and then slowly controlling it into joining the circles around my heart.
[Passive [Mana Heart] is in effect]
Suddenly, everything became easier and I smoothly placed the 3rd circle around my heart.
[You Have Formed A 3rd Mana Circle!MetaPhysical Stat +50!]
[Your Mana capacity has Tripled!The purity of your mana has increased.]
[Processing Quests…]
"Let's not stop now."
After forming my third circle, my mana reserves were completely empty, so I immediately focused replenish them.
2 HOURS LATER.
My eyes reopened and my Mana had been restored fully. As I stood up I heard clapping.
"Mother?"
My mother had returned from the royal palace while I was in the state meditation.
"Congratulations, my baby! You've reached 3rd circle in only 3 years!"
"And he's also a Knight in the sword already! Our son is undoubtedly the greatest genius in the history of our kingdom."
"You're praising me too much, I'm glad you're back from the royal palace already, mother. How was it?"
"It was wonderful and I got what I was looking for!"
"Which was?" I asked.
"I went to tell the king about your talent and he decided to send appraisers to make sure my claims were true. Once they see you and approve it he promised to grant you a treasure from the royal vault!"
"That's good news."
My father placed his hand on top of my head.
"It's time for the world to learn of our genius son! And your siblings are also about to be done with the academy."
"After the appraisers are here in 3 months' time, we'll head straight for my family, but you'll have to prepare a gift for your grandfather."
"I'll make sure to choose carefully."
My father and mother talked as they entered the mansion.
[1st Main Quest [A Path To Basic Strength] Completed!]
[Rewards Are Being Given Out!]
[All Stats +100!]

[[System Eye Function] fully Integrated with the host!]
My energies and body started to shake outside of my control.
"This is insane! My Mana and Aura instantly doubled. I can also tell my strength, agility, stamina, speed, and endurance have nearly tripled."
I took a deep breath in and regained control of my body and energy.
