Chapter 55: Sharing The Power!
-----
As the group walked towards the nearby Forest, Frank checked Ruby's status, finding out that she needed only five Mana Cores to finally begin her Mana Core Creation, he planned to do this tonight with her as everyone slept, hopefully inside a Domain, so they would not even make any commotion.
With Frank's new spells such as Mana Threads, Bind, Flying Mana Spears, Mana Bullet, and more, it had beco incredibly easy for him to hunt Horned Rabbit, without even letting any of them run away whenever the group found a large group of these little monsters.
He decided to leave Asterion, Hilvera, and Annabelle to practice their techniques and magic with the Horned Rabbits as well, as if he were to simply catch them all, it would not be fun for the rest.
Frank made sure to instruct Annabelle over the use of Magic, teaching her a bit over how to manipulate mana and to sharpen her senses. For so reason, Annabelle was able to understand so of what he said, accurately managing to kill two Rabbits on two different occasions through her Fireball.
"I can't believe it… I… I did it!" she said in happiness, almost as if it was the greatest accomplishnt of her life. Frank believed that her reactions were a bit too much, but she was a young girl who has not experienced many things in life, having done this achievent was already very amazing for her.
"Good job, Annabelle," Frank said as he petted Annabelle's head, which she let him do so for a bit only because he helped her learn how to handle magic better.
"Heh! It was nothing, I will keep practicing so mommy can be proud of !" said Annabelle with shining eyes.
Ding!
[Due to your great tutelage, you have acquired the [Tutoring: Level 1] Skill!]
"Tutoring…?" wondered Frank, glancing at the information of his newly acquired Skill.
[Tutoring: Level 1/10]
Enhances the proficiency of teaching and instilling Skills into the minds and bodies of anyone willing to learn. Increase the level of this Skill for greater effects.
"Wait, does this an that I was teaching Annabelle the Mana Control Skill as I taught her how to use her Mana? Is this why she learned so quickly? Damn," thought Frank.
As Frank thought about what he had done, he then began to wonder…
"Could I be able to teach other Skills, perhaps those that could go against soone's affinity such as Gust or Gift of Life? …Although I am not sure how I would teach it, though…" thought Frank.
As the hunting continued, Frank ended up teaching, even more, Mana Control to Annabelle, as she began to quickly dispose of Horned Rabbits with her Fireball ad her little wand, although after having conjured five tis, her Mana had plumted, and she could not conjure any more spells.
"Ugh… Is this Mana Sickness?" wondered Annabelle.
"I heard mommy saying that Mana Sickness was a slight aftereffect that Magus get when they overuse their Mana," said Asterion.
"I see… Well, here, I hope this calms you down," said Frank, conjuring Gift of Life over Annabelle's head, as she slowly felt better, although her Mana was still low.
"Oh, your healing ability is wonderful, Frank…" said Annabelle while sighing in relief.
"Hey, now that Annabelle is out of the way, can I learn so Mana Control too?" asked Hilvera as her tail waved around in excitent.
"Ah, too!" said Asterion.
"But you two have not awakened your Mana Cores, have you not?" asked Frank.
As Frank dropped these words, the two kids seed a bit saddened.
"Aw, you're right…" muttered Asterion.
"But I wonder when will we awaken it? We have already gone past the ti when it is needed, we might end up with our Mana Cores dried up like mommy…" muttered Hilvera.
It seed that the twins wanted to learn Mana Control from Frank so they could, perhaps, awaken their Mana Cores and get, by luck and chance, an innate Spell.
"Hmm… Okay, I think we can do sothing. But! You will have to keep it a secret, okay? Annabelle, you're also included if you don't, I will stop teaching you Mana Control" said Frank.
"Ah! Okay, okay, I will keep my mouth shut… Sheesh…" sighed Annabelle.
"Hm? Sure, but what do you have in mind, Frank-kun?" asked Hilvera with curiosity.
"Yeah… Don't tell that you can awaken Mana Cores?!" asked Asterion.
"Kind of, I have sothing that might work… Here," said Frank, opening his Inventory and taking out the two Gust Skill Books that he had gotten from defeating monsters back in Earth. These Skill Books were part of the plentiful loot he got after killing the Great Giant Bats Bosses a few tis.
"Rembering how Ruby managed to get the ability to absorb Mana Cores despite not being from this world by simply being offered to do so by , could it be possible for to let others learn Skills by offering Skill Books that I acquired through loot? If the sa logic is applied to Asterion and Hilvera… then perhaps…" thought Frank, offering the two, erald-colored books to Hilvera and Asterion.
"This is an ability I acquired from Abraddon's Divine Protection, keep it a secret, as it is very strong. I want to use to make you all stronger because you're all my friends… and my family too," said Frank.
"Family… Really? But we have t for only two days though?" asked Asterion.
"Agh! I know, Asterion, I was trying to be emotional here! Just take them and be done with it!" said Frank, he knew that he was being overly emotional for nothing.
"Asterion, don't be rude, Frank-kun is offering us… are these Grimoires?" asked Hilvera.
Grimoires were special items within Terra, special books imbued with magic that was capable of letting Magus instantly learn Spells that they held an affinity with.
Such magical items were one of the most precious items within Terra that could be acquired through the Dungeons created by the Goddess of Chaos. And although there were ways to create artificial Grimoires, it was easier and cheaper to obtain them through Dungeons.
However, for poor kids like Asterion and Hilvera, a Grimoire would cost a fortune, it was an item that they often thought that they would never have the chance to even see, even less acquire and use.
But now, it was in front of them. It was obvious that the two would hold so disbelief from Frank's offering.
"Grimoires… Yes, you could say that they are, now, both of you, grab one," said Frank. Although he was a good-hearted man that wanted to help these kids, he also wanted to do a few experints with his own capabilities.
"…Okay, why not?" said Asterion, grabbing the book on Frank's right hand.
"I will trust you, Frank-kun…" said Hilvera, grabbing the book on Frank's left arm.
Frank concentrated his will into what he wanted to let the two Minotaur twins do, as Annabelle glanced with curiosity.
"Maybe… if I activate Tutoring…?" wondered Frank, activating the Tutoring Skill, and then…
"Huh? Sothing… strange appeared in front of …" said Hilvera.
"What is this thing? Looks like… a glass window?" asked Asterion.
"Can you understand what it says?" asked Frank.
"Yeah, kind of…" said Asterion.
"Yes…" said Hilvera.
Although they were poor kids, Asterion and Hilvera were taught by their mother how to read, and the System Windows that appeared in front of their sight had shown up using their language, that of Terra.
"It says sothing about 'Do you want to learn…the Gust Skill Book?" asked Asterion.
"Yeah, it's the sa for …" said Hilvera.
"Very well, those are special Grimoires that need my permission to be taught to you, accept 'Yes' and learn the Spells," said Frank.
"Okay then… Woah!" cried Asterion.
"Fweeh!?" cried Hilvera.
Suddenly, the books disintegrated into light particles as they engulfed both Minotaur kids with great power. Their entire selves seed to have awakened to so kind of talent power, as their chest began to glow in iridescent erald light, the wind began to shake around them as it was suddenly absorbed into their bodies!
Flash! Flash! Flash!
And just as it ca to be, the catastrophe quickly ended with both kids kneeling as they gasped for air.
Ding!
[You have successfully shared your [Source] to [Asterion] and [Hilvera]!]
[Asterion] and [Hilvera] had been granted the Titles of [Apprentices] below your tutelage!]
"Ah! I'm alive?" asked Asterion, quickly getting up as he began to feel a strange flow of wind around his body.
"I am… fine? Huh? Wind?" asked Hilvera.
"You two…! You two awakened Wind Attribute Mana Cores!" said Annabelle, as her sharp eyes quickly discerned the truth.
"Fweh?! Really?! So this is why I feel so light!" said Hilvera.
"It as true… Frank… You… you actually helped us awaken our Mana Cores!" said Asterion.
"I sure did, no need to thank . I was actually doing a little experint, but I am glad that it resulted well for you two-"
Bump!
Suddenly, Asterion and Hilvera charged towards Frank, as they engulfed him in a dangerous… hug?!
"BUEEEEEHH! T-Thank you so much, Frank-kuuuuuunn!" cried Hilvera, as her tears flowed over Frank's shoulders.
"BOOOGEEEH! Thank you, Frank! I am really thankful! I will make sure to repay this favor by a tenfold!" cried Asterion at the sa ti, crying all over Frank's head, his enormous muscles were almost asphyxiating Frank.
"I-I am glad that you two are happy, but please… l-let go…!" cried Frank, as the twins didn't let him go until a few minutes passed and they finally cleaned the tears in their youthful eyes.
"To think that… I can beco a Magus!" said Asterion with incredible happiness showing in his eyes.
"It is… it is really a dream ca true!" cried Hilvera.
Both of them seed to see being Magus as an impossible dream, yet Frank ca into their lives and no long after, made their dreams co true imdiately. It was all too fast, but they were already incredibly grateful over him, to the point that they were a bit… devote of him.
"I can't believe it! Is this the power of Abraddon-sama? Perhaps you are really a Hero…" muttered Annabelle.
[The Level of the [Tutoring: Level 1] Skill has increased!]
