Limits Chapter 305

I went back to my training, and practiced the basic attacks. It took a while to get adjusted, while in the anti Aran showed how to defend. This ti, I had to use the basic attack, while he demonstrated how to defend against them. We went through all the styles, and then Aran would attack . Of course we did it lightly, without much of a strength or intent to injure. This was only practice after all.

From that point on, I practiced together with Aran. I needed an opponent in order to block the attacks from, as well as attack. This went on for most of the next month, until Aran was satisfied with my precision. When the basics were completed, Aran said "We will now move onto the more advanced thods. You will learn how to incorporate one move into another. So far, you released one attack, and stopped. I'm sure you know, that this is not how fighting works. You will have to learn to intervene these attacks, and make a continuous charge at your opponent. This applies to defence as well".

I nodded my head, and watched the demonstration. Aran showed how to fluidly attack using different styles, and how to keep on attacking without a pause. His sword travelled fluidly from one slash to the other. He then asked to practice that, and so my new training began.

I also checked my field once in a while, and noticed that the Blood Yarn, as well as Earth Grabbing Sprout began growing and spreading. I could harvest so of them, but the amount would be very little. I decided to wait, and let them grow properly, until the whole section designated to these herbs was filled. On the other hand, I already collected a lot of Arran Grass, Oviral Plants and so Ghost Flaxes. A few Night Safises managed to grow up as well, but I also decided to leave them, until the whole section was populated.

I made more Arran Liquid, which made my stock very large already. In overall, I had 67 bottles of Arran Liquid. I still had three bottles of Greater dical Extract, which was created with the use of Alen Sprouts and Black Irises. I had seeds for those plants as well, but I didn't know the planting process. 'I will need a lot of ti, in order to care for those herbs…Wait! I forgot about the Night Safis!' I thought.

I was ant to add Night Safis to the Arran Liquid, but because of what happened, I forgot about it. 'This will be a perfect ti, to actually create that dicine now' I thought. Because so of them already grew, I decided to harvest two of them, and used that to make an Extract. 'I will need an Extract from Arran Grass, and Oviral Plants as well. I will try the Pri Extracts first, then do the Zenith Extracts' I thought.

Not waiting any longer, I collected everything I needed, and headed towards Finch's house. I asked Tina "Do you have a room, that I can use for sothing?". She shook her head, and said "We have a storage, but we store stuff in there. Does it have to be private?", and she looked at with a grin. 'What are the won thinking about these days?' I thought, and replied "Yes. Can soone lend… I think I know a guy. Thanks". I then left, and headed straight to Olav's house.

I knocked on the doors, and Kara opened them as usual. I asked "Can I use your father's office for a while? I need to do sothing". She was a bit surprised, and said "Hello. Co inside, and ask father". I nodded, and walked inside. Olav was in his office as usual. I asked "Can I use your office for a while. I need it for sothing".

He stood up, and said "For as long as you want Nex. After all, I owe you at least that much". I nodded and thanked him. He grabbed his daughter Kara, who stood there bewildered, and walked out. I wanted to make my experints privately, and although there was a window in the room, I could easily close the curtains. 'Even though these people are like part of my family, a promise is a promise. I need to keep at least this one' I thought.

Sharing a recipe, or giving soone my dicine was not a problem. Showing them how to make Extracts was. This was my own knowledge, and I didn't need anyone else knowing this. Especially people who could be my enemies. I began the process, and made the Pri Extract from Arran Grass, Oviral Plants and Night Safis. I then threw that into the pot, and cooked it. I had to let them combine, to make a final product.

After a while of cooking, I extinguished the flas, and opened the pot. The amount was reduced as usual, because it was an Extract, but I was more concerned about its strength. I tested it for a while, and realised that it was much stronger than Arran Liquid, but it was not as strong as my Greater dical Extract. It actually lacked quite a lot. 'That is the Pri Extract though, now let's check the Zenith Extract' I thought, and set up my distillery.

After processing through the Pri Extract, I received around 10 milliliters of Zenith Extract, but the strength surprised . 'This thing is almost comparable to the Greater dical Extract… It's not that good, but it would also heal very heavy injuries. If a greater quantity was used, it would visibly close wounds' I thought. It was easier for to get this Extract, than experint with the other two herbs. 'I would need to waste a lot of ti, in order to find out how to grow them, and tend to them. My guess is that they would grow very slowly, due to the strength of their properties… But, what type of strength would Zenith Extract have, if it was made from the Greater dical Extract?' I thought.

I decided that no matter what, I will have to try that in the future. 'With such dicine, I may even be able to cure a dying man. I don't think that even royal dicians can do that' I thought. That was for the future though, I would need loads of ti in order to grow these herbs. I then felt sothing, and said "I don't like it, when people spy on … Kara". I could hear panicked footsteps, that were getting further away.

I disappeared from the room, and appeared in front of her. I already knew where she was, due to my senses and instincts. When she saw appear in front of her, she panicked even more, and begged "Please! Don't kill ! I saw nothing, I swear! Please!". She was starting to rise a commotion, so I grabbed her, and left the village. She didn't even realise we were outside of the village, and still mumbled "Please, I beg you".

I asked "Why did you spy on ?". She opened her eyes, and noticed the forest all around us. She started crying, and begging again. I lightly released my Aura, and she froze in place. I repeated the question "Why did you spy on ?". She couldn't move at all, so I retracted my Aura. She was scared for sure, and said "I… I was… just curious. Please…". I asked "You would pay your life, for curiosity? Why do you think your father left? Didn't he tell you, to give so privacy?". She nodded, and said "I did wrong… I was just… I wanted to know more… so I tried to peak a bit… and…".

I decided to ask a probing question "Did soone tell you to do it?". She shook her head, and exclaid "No! I was just curious. I'm not a spy…". She then began crying again. Either she was a very good actress, or was only curious. Before I could say anything, she said "I can do anything to prove it! I'm not a traitor! I just wanted to learn more about dicine… please believe ". I asked a bit surprised "Anything?".

She bit her lip, and replied "Yes". I said "Would you beco my slave?". Her face changed, but she still nodded. "I'm willing to accept that punishnt". 'Interesting' I thought, and walked over to her. She imdiately began shaking, I can only guess what was going through her mind. I said "Stand up". She was confused, but did what I ordered. I continued "You will get an opportunity, just like I received one in the past. If you manage to grab it, then you will receive your knowledge. If not, well". She imdiately replied "I will! Anything you want".
