They were touched by Theo's concern, but precisely because of that, they didn't want to be a burden to him. They wanted to continue to be able to stand by his side with their heads held high.
"Ahhhhhhh!" "Ahhhhhhh!" "Ahhhhhhh!"…
Soon after swallowing the Pill, they began to scream loudly in endless pain. As much as they tried to suppress their shrieks of pain… what they were experiencing was too strong, so there was no way they could stand it.
It broke Theo's poor heart, though he was already prepared for it. He felt downcast upon seeing them in such agony. He had an anxious look on his face as he watched them experience the process.

After a few hours, they had finally stopped screaming.
Theo sighed with relief and deemed that this ordeal was terrible for both his mind and his heart. If possible, he didn't want them going through it ever again… but seeing the glances amid their pain, they seemed to be happy for the improvement the Pill gave them. Theo shook his head and knew that they would definitely do something like this again.
Only Zaika continued to cultivate even after the effect of the Pill ceased.
"I think she's about to have a breakthrough," said Zaira.
"Yeah." Theo agreed.
Little Yui went over to Theo and said, "See, Daddy? Yui could handle it, I didn't even cry!" She said that despite the tears that stained her cheeks. She wanted to look brave in front of her daddy, and she thought that by just wiping the tears from her eyes, Theo would not find out…
Of course, Theo noticed his daughter's efforts, so he smiled kindly. "Yes, my daughter is fearless and brave," Theo said crouching and kissed little Yui's cheek.
"Hehee~."
With that, Yui's mood became even better. She almost forgot the pain she just had to go through.
Zaira also approached, running her hand over little Yui's head. Before, she was a bit afraid of her, mostly because she was almost killed by her, and when Zaira found out that she was taking it easy back then… she was even more scared. But over the time she lived with Theo and the others, she started to build up a lot of affection for this cute little girl.
They spent some time chatting while they waited for Zaika until they suddenly noticed the black liquid and gooey gunk that was coming out of Zaika's pores. A great deal of Mana was being absorbed by her in a spiral flow. She was absorbing this Mana voraciously.
Shina said bluntly, "She is close to crossing over to the Higher Student Kingdom."
They agreed and were full of expectations as they waited. Although the one most excited was Zaira since she was very happy for her sister's advance.
"Bang!"
Soon, an explosion of flames erupted from Zaika's body, enveloping her entire body. She also began to grow in size, soon reaching over three meters tall in her magical beast form.
"These flames are powerful!" Little Yui commented and wrapped herself in ice mana as she was starting to sweat. It was starting to get unpleasant just standing in front of these flames. Zaira, Shina and Theo also did the same, although Ice Mana was not their most potent affinity, it was enough to withstand the fire. But even so, they had to back away from Zaika a bit.
It didn't take long for the flames that surrounded her to make all the impurities she had expelled from her body become vaporized by the fire. It also began to shrink in size, reaching four meters in height and six meters in length.
Theo and the others were shocked that it did not take long before a beautiful woman with flaming hair, wreathed in flames rose from the fire. She had beautiful, soft tanned skin, not too dark, but it gave her an exotic charm.
Her hair floated up with the flames, looking like a deity of fire. Beautiful bouncy round breasts, Theo was sure they were at least an F-Cup. She was considerably tall, at 1.75 to 1.80 meters in height. She long eyelashes that resonated even more with her beautiful blue eyes.
On top of her brilliant red hair, a pair of red wolf ears appeared. Zaika also had a five-foot-long red tail.
With long slender legs and jade hands, her body was charming, curvy and seductive. Theo blushed a little, seeing her like that, he was astonished at her current appearance.
Zaika was surprised to see the continuous bursts of flame coming from her body. She couldn't understand how her power over fire could have increased so much, especially when she closed her hands. "Pow!" A blast of flames was produced.
She had an excited expression on her face. She was thrilled with her improvement in controlling fire. But she could understand that this improvement might be involved with the lineage she had awakened. "If I keep getting better, I won't be a burden to the Master!" Zaika said firmly in her heart as she clenched her hands into fists.
Zaira disregarded the flames surrounding her dear sister and approached, holding a clean set of navy blue clothing. "Zaika, tone down your flames!"
"Huh?" Zaika, who was lost in thought, looked at her new look and was surprised too, even though she knew she would take human form the moment she got a breakthrough. She was so happy with the increase in her strength that she forgot about it… despite noticing some of the changes in her body.
"Sure." Zaika nodded and dimmed the flames that surrounded her, then Zaira stepped in closer and handed the set of clothes to her.
Theo also got out of his trance and stopped looking at Zaika's naked body.
Shina, who was beside him, sighed upon seeing that, she knew Theo was a man and even he couldn't help but look at Zaika's beautiful naked body.
"Hey there." But still, she couldn't help but pinch Theo's waist. Of course, she was also mesmerized by Zaika's beautiful body. Even though she was a woman, she found it pleasant to look at the gorgeous woman in front of her. But even so, she was a little jealous of Zaika.
Theo looked towards Shina, but said nothing, he just hugged this sweet girl who was snorting a little jealousy.
"What…" Shina was surprised, she didn't expect such a development.
"You're beautiful, you don't have to give that look." Theo smiled. Although he was no relationship expert, Theo could still see the reason for Shina's moodiness.
"I…" Shina blushed more at this, her ears turning beet red. She nodded slightly, "Mhm," as she returned Theo's hug, leaning her head against Theo's chest to conceal her embarrassment. But the silly, happy smile on Shina's face couldn't be hidden.
