Alden's POV
Staring at the ceiling of my room, a sigh unconsciously released from my mouth.
It's been two days since my duel with Cedric, and nothing much happened contrary to what I had thought.
I was sure that the family elders would keep pestering me about my sword art, but it seems they already had some knowledge regarding it previously.
They even decided to grant me the Family's official Shadow Mana Tome ---Noctus Grimore.
Well it was just a cheap knockout of the shadow elemental phase of Eclipse Codex. Same thing just without forming shadow core. According to it the user have to convert ambient mana into shadow mana everytime they want to use shadow related spells.
I just throwed it in my storage ring. Why would I bother learning that cheap copy when I have the original.
