"Ughh! Why is this thing so disgusting?! It's tastes so bad!"
I said as I expressed my displeasure for the Mana Potion.
"Ughhh! I feel like I'm gonna throw up!"
I said as I expressed even more displeasure for it, and covered my mouth with my hands.
While I drank the Mana Potion a few minutes ago, and it had been digested, the lingering taste remained in my mouth.
…
As few minutes passed by after I drank and digested the Mana Potion, something began to change within me.
The mana levels inside my body were rising at an abnormal rate. The mana levels, the mana reserves, the mana pool. I could feel them changing, increasing. It was like my entire body was changing from the inside.
"What is this… I can feel it inside my body… my mana… it's increasing at an incredible speed! Even now, I still feel it rising!"
I said, with a sudden surprise expression.
"Wisdom, is this because of the Lord-Class Monster's blood and Magic Stone?"
I asked, with curiosity looming over my head.
[ Affirmative ]
[ Lord-Class Monsters have more potent mana and stronger Magic Stones ]
[ By using the Lord-Class Goblin's both blood and Magic Stone, the results will be much higher than the ones you initially thought to use ]
[ Had it not been for the Lord-Class Goblin, you would still had to drink more Mana Potions crafted using lower leveled monsters ]
[ The Mana Potion you crafted using the Lord-Class Goblin is worth 10 normal Mana Potions ]
[ We are lucky we encountered a Lord-Class Monster, had it not been for him, you would still need to drink more, and judging by your description and attitude, you do not wish to drink any more of it ]
"What?! Thank goodness! I never want to drink any more of that disgusting stuff!"
I expressed my relief upon hearing that this was the one, and only time, and that I don't have to drink the disgusting Mana Potion anymore.
"Either way… this is amazing! I didn't expect it to have this much of an effect! I really hit the jackpot, huh!"
I said, excitedly.
Now then. Should I book an appointment with the Scythe's Association for my mana measurement and go there by myself, or should I let my parents do it instead. What to do?
I pondered for a while, not being able to decide what to do.
The appointment with the Scythe's Association itself is going to be a little expensive, but I think we'll manage.
I thought internally as I pondered about the appointment.
I should probably talk to mom about this.
Thinking that, I went downstairs.
…
"Hey, mom."
I called out to my mom with a slightly loud voice.
"Yeah, Jin, what is it? Do you need something?"
She responded back with a question.
She was in the kitchen, fixing the dishes.
"It's about the mana measurement."
I walked closer to her, and said, in a low voice.
"Hmm. Are you ready now? Have you done what you needed to do?"
My mom asked, her expression serious.
"Yes!"
I responded firmly with no hesitation.
"Alright. I'll tell your father once he gets home from work."
She said, with a soft smile.
"Actually… about that. I was wondering if I could book an appointment myself. That way, dad won't have to do the extra work, and it'll save us some time. What do you think?"
I said, with a firm demeanor, hoping that she would allow it.
"Okay! That's even better! I didn't realize my Jin had grown so much! You're gonna make mom sad."
To my surprise, she agreed with a sad expression, but changed it into a cheerful smile the next second.
"Alright! I'll get right to it then!"
I declared with a stern smile.
"And, I'll be borrowing dad's laptop!"
I added before grabbing my dad's laptop from the living room which was on a wooden desk, and going back to my room.
…
"Alright! Let's do this thing!"
I declared as I sat on my wooden chair, and placed the laptop on the wooden desk.
I opened the laptop, and began browsing through the Scythe's Association website.
I wasted no time at all, and book an appointment for Mana Measurement. I had to fill out a form on the website before booking the appointment, such as Name, Date Of Birth, Eye Color, etc. The payment had to be made beforehand which was 500 WIN. I, of course, used my dad's credit card to make the payment.
I went downstairs again, and put the laptop in it's original place, and told my mom about the appointment. The date I received for my Mana Measurement was in two day, Wednesday, 29 January, 2025. She was happy to hear about it.
My mom was the kind of person who would never force anything onto anyone. She respected my wishes, and allowed me to do what I wanted. Mom was the kindest person I knew, and I won't let anything happen that changed her forever. I knew it was all Rachel's doing, but I had no proof, so I couldn't say anything yet. I would wait, and let her make her make, and before anything happens to my parents, I'll make her regret her actions.
…
The following day went by as usual, and everything was going well. There was one day left until the Mana Measurement appointment. While everything was going smoothly, I, in my room, did some light exercises to keep my body in good shape. Even though I was already stronger than a normal person, and I knew one day of working out would have no effect, I still did it, just because I wanted to. I wanted to see my endurance, and just as expected, I didn't get tired. I remember going inside my room, working out, and coming back out hours later with barely any sign of sweat on my body. Worried about my health, my mom came to check up on me, and after realizing what I had been doing, she just laughed it of, and told me to eat properly after doing whatever I was doing.
And, this day as well, without any problems, went by as usual.
