"Those are new equipment you made?" My mother asked. "T-Those are even more amazing the more I look at them, even from a distance… Sylphy, I do remember teaching you how to do these things, but never to this extent…"
"I've been training and crafting stuff for years now, mom, of course I would learn the ropes!" I smiled. "I also discovered a way to imbue a bit of my divine protection's divinity into items I make."
"What?!" My mother was even more shocked. "T-That's something that took me a while to figure out… You're truly incredible. Ah, how many times have I said that already? I've lost count."
"I've lost count too, haha." I giggled. "But don't worry about the details, we're here to relax, right?"
My mother looked into my eyes and sighed, her beautiful blonde hair shining brightly beneath the sunlight.
"…You might be right." She sighed, kissing my nose. "I just get all worried because you sometimes are too special… Once you enter the Academy, you'll meet all kinds of people and learn about the true society of nobles. There will be many desiring your talents, and sometimes, they'll do anything to get them. You have to be careful how you show them. I am not telling you to not stand out or something, but… be careful."
lights??v?l ??m "I know." I nodded. "Moreover, I do have the strength to back it up too, if anybody tries anything funny… I won't have mercy, even if it's a noble."
"Hahh… I can already imagine you being quite the troublemaker!" My mother was already having nightmares. "Gosh, just be a good girl, okay?"
"Okay~" I shrugged.
"This girl is quite hopeless…" My mother sighed again.
"Hahah, come on, give her a break." My father laughed. "She has always been like this, Faylen. Let her be. I'm sure she will end up becoming the best student and earning all kinds of awards and achievements."
"You're way too optimistic- But yes, I do think so too. She will be quite the excellent student!" My mother immediately changed her tone of voice. "Heheh… I'll show all those other nobles who mocked me and called me a disgrace to the family for marrying you and having a half-elf child…"
I suddenly felt the flames of vengeance blazing within my mother's eyes…
"There, there…" My father tried to make her feel more comfortable, patting her back. "Calm down, dear. It's alright, we should just be happy they'll do fine."
"R-Right, I got too pumped up there… Anyways! Let's finish up our breakfast, everyone. We're moving after an hour. We have to explore those ruins and then move to the grasslands. We've spent too many days in this plateau." My mother said.
As the leader of the entire group, everyone nodded at her words.
"So we're finally moving to those ruins… I wonder what juicy new information we'll find about how shitty the Gods are." Nepheline sighed.
"Don't say it so rashly…" Shade said. "Won't the Gods take away their blessings if we do?"
"They haven't even now." My mother analyzed. "I fear the blessings can't be retrieved until we die…"
She was right on the mark; Gods can't take away the blessings normally… One must die for them to take it away. However, if they spend enough power, I believe they could weaken the blessing to an extent.
But even if they did that now, our parents were so powerful it would mean nothing to them. Their cultivation of Physique and Magic Circle was already there, and that wouldn't go anywhere even when they were to lose the God's blessings.
Well, that's all my speculation though.
"We've long ago strived away from what they intended from us." My father sighed. "Whatever happens, happens. We have not stopped growing stronger even after retirement due to all the battles we've had to go through."
"Gray said you were all rusty, but I bet he would have been beaten if he fought you guys…" Arafunn sighed.
"The same cannot be said for you, sadly." My mother glared at Arafunn.
"Hey, I'm a free spirit! I do as I please!" Arafunn laughed heartily. "Training and cultivating… it's so boring. I would rather just chill, drink wine and sing."
"You've been doing that for a couple hundred years now." Ninhursag said. "Don't you get tired?"
"Tired?! No way! Hahaha!" Laughed Arafunn out loud. "Life is made to enjoy it, honey! What's the point of it if you don't get to be happy?"
"It's not like we're not happy ourselves…" My mother refuted him. "But whatever, talking with you is like talking with a wall! Not even my father can get through that thick head."
"He has tried a few times~ Very funny, you would love to see him try." Laughed Arafunn.
Uncle was without a doubt the embodiment of a carefree soul.
Once we ended our delicious breakfast, which included all sorts of pastries, teas, and egg and bacon with many types of breads, we packed things up and spent an hour training and warming up a bit for the challenge that was coming.
I decided to concentrate on my usual training of swinging my sword while sprinting, all while constantly letting the flow of Mana, Spiritual Essence, and Ki flow through my body and soul.
There were many methods of cultivation out there, but the method I had made up was one that would kill or cripple most people.
It was so extreme it was only possible for my body, which has endless health points, meaning endless stamina.
Anybody that tried something so rough as trying to make the flow of energies cross all my Meridians, encompassing my entire Physique all while I engrave Runes inside my Magic Circle, while I sprint and swing my sword practicing swordsmanship techniques would collapse after a minute.
Naturally, I also conjured magic circles around me, without releasing their spells, so I can better memorize the spells engraved within my magic circles, which were now six beautiful circles, all rainbow colored.
And of course, my new organ, the crystallization of my spirit essence, the Spiritual Heart, was constantly absorbing the Spiritual Essence produced by my Spirits, which was then sent to me and redistributed to it.
It was a harsh training, but I knew it would eventually yield results…
And it did, faster than I thought…
Ding!
[Your [Spiritual Heart]: [Tier 1: Rank 4: Rainbow Spirit Heart] has Ranked up to Tier 1: Rank 5!]
[Your Spiritual Essence Strength, Quality, and Purity have been increased.]
[As a result, your Psyche, Physique, and Magic Circle have been slightly strengthened too.]
"So quickly?"
I was left rather speechless my Rank increased this fast. My Spiritual Heart was quite unique, as it contained many Spirit Energies from all the Spirits I had.
My spirits are abnormally strong too, some of them because they weren't even spirits originally, but became one through my strange abilities.
I could feel their Spirit Souls, the sources of my Spiritual Essence strengthening too. Looks like Spiritual Heart Cultivation makes your own Spirits strong as a result.
Is this one of the secrets behind the elf's dominance over the humans all this time?
They are sure gifted, to the point it feels unfair, hahah…
