[Day 91]

Yesterday, after the kids finally showed that they were able to conjure a small spell with all their effort, we had decided to practice Group Cultivation with them.

However… it didn ’t go as well.

”Sigh… It seems that our Group Cultivation might have been a bit too intense, ” sighed Benladann.

”Indeed, the kids seem to have gotten a bit of fever due to the overload of Mana, more than their bodies could take… ” I said.

”Is it because of that? It seems that when we did Group Cultivation, something happened… Was our mana being too strong? Draugann seemed fine, in fact, she looks more energetic, ” said Benladann.

”That ’s because I am a Rank 2 like you two. You see, Mana is different! ” said Draugann.

”Eh? ”

Both of us glanced at her, we didn ’t get what she meant.

Draugann sighed as she looked at us with her eyes closed, as she always had them…

”You two are really dense! I can see why you two never advance further in that relationship… ” she sighed.

Eh?! What is she talking about?!

I am not advancing in the relationship because we are two different species, you stupid old hag!

”E-Eeh? W-What are you talking about… ” said Benladann while blushing.

”Draugann go to the point, ” I sighed.

”Hmm… What a grumpy dragon… ” she muttered.

”What did you said?! ” I roared.

”N-Nothing! Anyways… Ahem. You see, Mana is different when it comes to Mana Core Ranks, ” said Draugann.

”Wait, it is?! ” asked Benladann in surprise.

”I didn ’t know that, I certainly think that it is a bit more potent, but that much of a difference? ” I asked.

”Indeed, each time you Rank Up, your Mana Core is refined and becomes stronger, and that includes your own body which is the recipient of your mana and your Mana Core, and also your very mana. The essence of Mana is vast and also mysterious, it is the power that helps us survive in this harsh world, and it is also like its pillar. Each time you increase your Mana Core Rank, your Mana is refined into a higher quality of Mana, with lesser impurities and more potency. Each time your stage increases, the level of quality raises once more… And so on, ” said Draugann.

”If that ’s the reason behind the kids feeling with a bit of fever, wouldn ’t it had affected me and the monsters too when we did Group Cultivation before? ” wondered Benladann.
