On the training ground, Ethan ran, completely out of breath and nearly on the verge of unconsciousness. But before he could collapse, Noah appeared before him, grabbing Ethan's arm to prevent him from falling, and then placed a pill in Ethan's mouth, which Ethan swallowed.
After 30 seconds, Ethan began to breathe normally again, feeling only the numbness in his legs. As Ethan recovered, Noah spoke up, "Four hours of straight running. That, my little student, I'm proud of! Such endurance is rarely seen in people your age! After just a month of training, you've truly given it your all!"
Indeed, Ethan had dedicated himself fully over the past month, training his body until he became numb to the pain. But as Noah continued to chatter about other students he had encountered at the Academy, Ethan found himself reflecting on his own progress.´Status`

Looking at his stats, Ethan's face formed a big smile, and he became happier, glancing at his teacher, Noah, as if asking what they would do next.
"Okay, little student," Noah said with a big smile, "your body is perfectly formed it can't improve any further, as it is a mortal body. But we want your body to improve even further!"
With a bigger smile on his handsome face, Noah continued, "So, as you have already know, I give you sometimes some kind of balls that taste weird but heal your body. Do you know what they are?"
Ethan shook his head in response to Noah's question, prompting Noah to smile even wider. "So, these kind of balls are called Pills! They're just medicine balls, but these are made by an alchemist! Pills, in general, can only help with your body. But fear not, my little student! There are similar things with mana as well, but those are called potions! However, unlike pills, potions are not something you can grab, they are in liquid form. Wait, I have one with me."
As Noah spoke, a bottle appeared before him. Inside the bottle, there was some kind of lava liquid that seemed like it would burn your whole body if you drank it.
Noah continued, "Look, this is a potion! This one is called 'Fire Potion.' It can warm your body, and if you are a fire elementalist or work with fire, it can influence your body and help you understand or feel warm if you're too cold! Potions also have grades, and this potion that I have is just a low-level one! Oh, and the pill you ate is low-level as well,as they were made for mortals. Mortals could even come back to life if they consume a very high-level potion or pill. Fantastic, isn't it?"
As Ethan began to learn about pills and potions, he then asked in his hoarse voice, "Teacher, I've read many books in the library. Why didn't I read anything about these kinds of things?"
Noah, upon hearing Ethan's question, replied, "That's because you only read in the low-level library, where only the most basic information is written. Alchemy is more high-level."
"So, teacher, why did you then tell me about alchemy pills and potions if they were high-level knowledge?" Ethan inquired.
Noah smiled and responded, "Well, my little student, today we will visit one of your uncles, who will make you a high-level pill to temper your body further. We hope it will help you break through your mortal shackles and have an easier time awakening and achieving a higher-grade mana body!"
With that said, Noah took Ethan and walked at a high speed towards the other side of the mansion and then much further, outside the mansion.
After a ten-minute walk in the air, they approached one of the many towers in the city. As Ethan was outside the mansion for the first time, he became a bit amazed by the sight of the tower, which stood about 100 meters tall, its walls made of black porcelain-like stones.
Upon seeing this, Ethan asked nervously Noah, "Teacher, am I even allowed to leave the mansion?Did Mother allow this?"
Hearing this, Noah looked at Ethan blankly, as if realizing he forgot to ask, but then coughed a few times and acted as if nothing had happened. "Anyway, this is your Uncle Allen's tower, the White Alchemy Tower, where our family recruits new alchemists under your uncle's orders. So, let's go in!"
Saying this, they did just that. After walking towards a guard, Noah stated that he wanted to meet Allen, emphasizing its importance. After being asked to wait a little in the reception room, Noah grew a little annoyed that Allen hadn't come directly but chose to wait.
After waiting for ten minutes, Noah began to grumble about how Allen couldn't come out of his room to meet them.After waiting for ten minutes, finally, a person with silver hair, dark green eyes, and an aged face approached.
Seeing this man arrive, Noah spoke in annoyance, "So, you come after making me wait for ten minutes? Anyway, I want a pill that would improve the physique of this boy beside me."
As Noah stated his request directly, he looked at Allen, who replied in a cold voice, "Why should I? You said you wanted to discuss something important, and I came, but now you want to give this random boy a pill that I only made for the main family? I know you are arrogant because of your achievements, but that is something even I would not allow for my own son or Grandson. Are you joking?"
As Allen spoke in an icy tone, Noah simply smiled brightly and remarked, "Are you becoming blind or something? Haven't you looked at this boy's face? Don't you see the similarities with Lady Snow or Lord James? Ah, old age must suck."
Allen then looked at Ethan and, recognizing the dark black eyes and snow-white hair, asked, "Young man, are you the son of Lord James and Lady Snow?"
Ethan nodded, prompting Allen to nod as well before turning to Noah and questioning, "Why didn't you inform me of the young master's visit beforehand? Then I would have already prepared the pill."
Noah shrugged and replied, "So, can you make one?"
Allen simply nodded and began to examine Ethan's body. As Allen's eyes slowly began to brighten with a green color, he then looked at Noah and said, "Why did you bring him here? You know he can't consume this pill if he doesn't have mana in his body.He isn't ready yet"
Noah just smiled, as if to say, "None of your business."
