At the end, I didn’t even had to teach Eric’s aunt and uncle as much, as he had already written a quarter of a book about what I had taught him. It only took about three days for them to finally form a magic circle and conjure some basic magic. Eric’s aunt had the Apothecary Talent, while his uncle had the Gatherer Talent. Both talents completed each other, and they probably met in their similar field of work. His aunt was good at doing alchemy and combining plants, while her husband was good at gathering said plants and more. He even had a Skill named [Herb Appraisal] which allowed him to see detailed information about any plant he saw with his eyes, with such amazing Skill, it wasn’t rare that the two became successful even while being serfs.
I had also awakened their Ki, which was quite easy. The two felt very strong since then, and said they had slept even better than before, while also having more stamina more often. I taught them how to merge Ki with Mana, and I left Eric to teach them the rest from what I’ve taught to him which he’s writing on his book. He had also lend me the books, which I’ve read through these past two weeks attentively, learning about the herbs, mushrooms, animals, monsters, and even various recipes. Although I seem to have inherited my photographic memory from my previous life, I am sure that Eric will still be better for the job of gathering and making potions than me, especially all these new recipes. Well, not like I will give up in the alchemy aspect, as I am better at making my own potions than him or his family. But my way of making potions is a bit revolutionary, and could bring a lot of unwanted attention, so I also have to learn the old-fashioned ways and find a good middle ground between the two.
Nonetheless, I have decided not to teach them alchemy because they would find it very weird that a child knows more of alchemy than them… But their Alchemy Magic book was quite useful, it even had magic circles for simple alchemy magic, and it helped me to see and compare them with my own Alchemy Magic, it resulted that this world’s alchemy magic was oversimplified for the saving of Mana, which was way better than my own Alchemy Magic in such aspects, while my Alchemy Magic required more mana output (almost constant) and had greater results. I had been enlightened since then to improve my own magic with the knowledge of this world’s magic. The people of this world doesn’t just conjure weaker magic. It is not that its weaker than mine, they simple have adapted their magic conjuration to suit their smaller Mana Pools. If I can absorb this knowledge and merge it with my own magic, I could perfect it even more than I could in my previous life!
In fact, realizing this, I began to see humans a bit better than before. I suppose… Humans do have talents that I had yet to recognize. Now I regret calling them fools a bit, and I have begun to consider that within their simple minds, there was a wonderful and enlightening brilliance. But this world in specific… Perhaps because they had been isolated from the rest of the Universe for so long, they had been able to develop their own culture and had perfected their own research with magic and mana even better than before.
And since then, two weeks have passed. I have spent most of the week with my friends. Chris and Erika had noticed I am meeting up with Eric a lot more, and the two thought of it as suspicious, so they ultimately also came to visit Eric’s house and all four of us were staying in his house for the night. He seemed to be reluctant, but his aunt and uncle were way too happy for him to have so many friends, so they forced him to let us pass the night here. Through the two weeks I had also spent a bit with Elizabeth, Erdrich and the priests, mostly doing some normal field work. Erdrich is opening up some more, but its going to take some more for that. We also went to hunt in the forest, and we ended taking down a few Imps.
Surprisingly, Elizabeth and Erdrich leveled up instantly that day, although Erdrich’s spirit had yet to develop for some reason. Elizabeth ended learning a new Skill named [Automatic Regeneration Blessing] which allowed her to conjure a blessing over a target, allowing them to automatically regenerate health. That Skill alone is better than any of my healing spells… She’s going to continue growing stronger as a priestess until she’ll easily surpass me in healing and light magic. I can see she has a bright future, especially with that insanely strong Angel Spirit, whose origins I have yet to fully research. And as for Erdrich, he gained [Demon Gaze] that allows him to easily intimidate and temporarily paralyze and lower the stats of a target, the paralyzing effect lasts like two seconds though, so its nothing like my Vampiric Eyes of Paralysis, but it works for ambushes.
And as of now, all four of us were reading a big book about monsters and animals over the large bed that Eric had. He seemed embarrassed to have us all in here, especially because Erika and Chris were not quiet like us, and were always screaming about how awesome the monster drawings were.
“Wooow! Look at that big thing! What’s that, Eric?!” Asked Chris.
“That’s a Crystal Horned Deer, it is a very rare magical beast. I think they went extinct some years ago due to over hunting…” Said Eric.
“Ooooh! And what’s this bug?” Asked Erika.
“That’s a Giant Steel Praying Mantis. They dwell in the Grassy Plains and have steel-hard exoskeletons with strong blade arms, they’re very dangerous!” Said Eric.
“Amazing! I want to catch one!” Said Erika.
“Yeah! I bet I can melt his exoskeleton with my fire!” Said Chris.
“Y-You two are so noisy…” Sighed Eric.
