Chapter 59 Working Hard
-----
My mother woke up to find me at her side.
She felt rather dizzy after what I did to her, awakening Qi might be tiring at first.
"Uh… Huh? Blake? Ah! Dear!"
My mother quickly hugged me as she found me awake.
"I was so worried! I am glad you're okay… Did you come to check on your father? Sigh… You worried me just as much yesterday! Are you doing okay now?" asked my mother.
"Yeah, I am fine. I think all I needed was to nap… Anyways, mother, do you know how father is doing?" I wondered.
"Ah, yes, he woke up a few hours ago and seemed to be fine, he even ate a bit before going back to sleep… But I believe he'll need a few days to recover well." Said, my mother.
"I see. I am just happy he's okay. This is all I cared for." I said.
"Blake… Your abilities were the reason he was able to survive… what you did back then… When I saw you with my two eyes… I couldn't recognize you… But… Not in a bad way… I just… I couldn't believe my boy had grown so much…" she said.
"Ah… Well, I still got a lot of things I want to learn, I am still learning myself what all these abilities I have truly are…" I said.
"I see… But it was fantastic what you did there! Was that magic, perhaps? Or something else, I wonder?" wondered my mother.
"It was indeed magic. I've been practicing the usage of my Mana." I said.
"Ooh… But I just… I've never seen someone wielding so many elements…" said my mother.
"It might be some sort of blessing from the Holy Spirits… But it came out naturally from me… Mother, make sure to not tell this to anyone outside of our circle… I don't want this to spread out." I said.
"I-I know! I would never go around revealing my son's secrets…" said my mother.
"Thank you… I knew I could count on you. I just want to… develop these abilities for now. Maybe in the future, I will feel more confident." I said.
"Sure… But I am just still wondering how you were able to develop all of that…" said my mother.
"Well… You'll learn more in the future, don't worry about it, for now, it would be better for you to rest… I think you must be very tired as well." I said.
"O-Okay then…" said my mother.
She quickly cuddled at the side of my father, as the two continued to sleep.
I felt a soothing peace when I saw my parents sleeping peacefully.
Things had gone fine, everything was now okay…
Hahh…
What a relief.
Now… what do I do?
"Maybe you should eat breakfast…" said Eleanora.
"Ah, you're right… I am a human after all." I said.
…
Since the incident that things changed a bit in the house.
Because my father had been the one that worked the most bringing the water from the wheel, hunting monsters, selling their meat and pelt, joining the hunting groups, and more, I had decided to provide on his place.
This meant that there were now a bunch of tasks I had to do, and less time to train on my own. However, I had to do it so I could help my family, there were no buts in this sort of situation.
Bringing water was easy, we actually didn't need to go look for the wheel anymore, I can produce water using the Water Drop Spell, a liter of water costs me roughly 10 mana, so I can produce a lot of water over the 70 Mana I have and then store it for the next couple of days.
This also helps me understand water magic better, enhancing my proficiency with it, by merely just producing it.
If you suck at magic.
But I have a higher comprehension of the Elemental Law of Water, in fact, it is of 100%. So I have already comprehended most of it.
The proficiency, however, was reset after I died, so I need to relearn the proficiency, but by using my already learned comprehension, it doesn't seem so hard.
The same could be said of all the other elements.
However, the only thing I can safely produce for now is fire and water, and in small quantities, anything like precious jewels out of earth magic, or metals, ores, and other things, seems impossible for the moment.
Maybe in the future, I could generate gold ingots out of earth magic and shape them as coins, and completely flood the market with my illegal copy of the gold coins… Or not.
I don't know, but if there are other people with Earth-type spirits, there might be others that could do the same thing, but they aren't, so there is certainly some incentive to not do it.
Or are the gold coins themselves special in some sort of way? I have not noticed it before, but now that I take a look at one, it is a completely different metal, isn't it?
"Eleanora, did you ever notice this?" I wondered.
"Hm? W-What?" asked Eleanora, I ended up interrupting her while she was eating a large sandwich.
"The gold coins… this is not conventional gold, isn't it?" I wondered.
"Hm? Oh? Isn't it more like some sort of… pseudo divine material?" wondered Eleanora.
"So you could also tell…" I said.
Divine Materials were special materials infused with divine power, worth millions of more than just normal magic materials.
But this gold… it was called Spirit Gold, and it seemed to be a special ore of this world, perhaps the conventional gold that we both knew about wasn't even present in this world, everything was different, even if slightly so.
Actually this gold… it is amazing, it has many mana-conducting properties.
I could even use it as materials.
