The Twenty Fourth

I decided to check out the magic shop nearby to see what it had in store. The magic store had teleportation scrolls to all the major cities and didn't need to be bought a second time so they were expensive for the average person. I however was not the average person so I bought a scroll to a city far off from the capital before checking out the rest of the store's wares.

There were a few books here but I was told I could purchase a large amount of books if I went to the library so I bought all the books on magic the store had and headed to the library. When I arrived at the library it was actually smaller than my own even if you consider that it's a large building since each room in my mansion was bigger on the inside than outside.

When I went inside there was a large amount of shelves filled with books available for purchase. When I told the librarian that I wanted to buy them all she looked at me with disbelief before I just handed her the exact amount of money she asked for. She started sweating before begging me to not purchase all of these books but I refused and just took them all in my storage before leaving. When I left she passed out from shock and fell over.

Now that I took care of that I used the teleportation scroll and ended up on the outskirts of a giant city. However it's not like I will be entering it anytime soon though. First I have to get so overwhelmingly strong that nobody or nothing could mess with me. With that thought in mind I headed back home for the night.

The next day we entered the dungeon and went in the same direction of the forest as before. While we were training in the dungeon I noticed something different about Adela and Celeste. Both of them have yet to hit a max level and it was then I realized they gained a new skill called Limit Break and it was at the first level.

So this was how it was possible to go even further beyond. It's good to know that I could train other beings with a level limit as well. My guess is that there is some threshold or wall that they break after getting a certain amount of experience after reaching their max level. I was lost in thought before I realized I was just sitting there staring at them making both of the girls visibly nervous. I regained my composure and told them about their own status.

They started to jump up and down before running to Elaine and Lydia and telling them about it. The four hugged each other and looked very happy while smiling. It's an awkward scene because there were several pools of blood around them from all the dead rabbits and wolves while they were hugging. When the four finished we continued on and finally found our first panther. Now I say panther but it is about six times the size of a regular black panther and was purple in color. Before we attacked it several more appeared around us.

It looks like they were waiting to ambush us but they were trying to ambush the wrong people. The panther's skin was extremely hard but I cut through it with sheer strength instead of relying on the sharpness of my katana. Not long after we took out the first panther the group destroyed the remaining 15 in the area and we decided to stop for the day. When we returned home I took Divinus with me to the library and started to teach him how to read and write.

It may take a long time but we have plenty of that. Teaching him the basics made time fly and soon enough it was time for dinner. I went downstairs with Divinus to eat. When we finished Divinus pulled on my shirt and asked if he could sleep in the same room as me. I didn't really mind so I let him and he slept in my bed curled up next to me with his tail wrapped around himself. Like the night passed peacefully. The next day I woke up before Divinus and lightly shook him awake. He hopped on my back and I walked to the bathroom.

I think for the first time I truly felt like a father when I washed him in the soap water before taking a soak in the bath. Divinus was swimming around in the bath enjoying himself so I decided that today I would let it be a free day. When I got out of the bath with Divinus and got dressed I gathered my subordinates and told them they had a day off today to do whatever they needed to do.

However even though I said they had a day off, all of them except Malkin and Lydia went to go and train. Malkin went back to his smithy and Lydia went back to her Alchemy. Sicarius also went away to train and Divinus stayed with me looking up at me. I guess I will be a personal teacher for today.

After everyone else went to their regular areas I went back to the library with Divinus to continue teaching him. I decided that from now one two days out of the week would be free days for everyone to do what they wanted. Divinus was a very bright child and learned basic characters within just a few hours.

After lunch I went ahead to see what type of magic he would excel in and as it turns out he could use all elements to their fullest. Night fell just like that and Divinus slept in the same room with me again so I just gave up and accepted his selfish whim since he was still a child. Divinus didn't talk much but was a very good listener. He may be quiet but knows how to get things done when needed.

One thing I noticed about Divinus was that he didn't physically change much when he evolved and changed classes. My guess as to why this is would be that he has my blood running through him. This made an idea flow into my head and it moved like clockwork as I ran to the Alchemy Lab.
