Chapter 9. Mom Agreed!

Liam said he was dumbfounded when he looked at his mother's skills, then he shook his head as he checked his sister's status panel.

He didn't find it strange that his mother has 100% favorability for them.

After all she is their mother, if she didn't have 100% favorability at that time he would feel strange.

'Hmm, their status panels are the same. As for me, yes, almost similar.'

"Hey mom." Liam took his sister's towards her as they sat on the ground.

He put his head on his mother's shoulder.

His mother gently stroked his head as he looked at Leah and Lavanya.

She opened her mouth and asked "My baby girl's, do you remember the technique I gave you?"

Lavanya pouted as she replied "Mom, I am not a baby girl. I am six years old! I am a big girl now. And why the discrimination? You asked us but not to our brother."

"Yes mom, you are discriminating against us! You should say, 'Did you guys remember the technique I gave you?' not that me and my sister remembered the technique."

Hearing what her baby daughter said, Lilith could help herself.

She covered her mouth as she laughed and said "Hahaha so my baby girl's are already big girls huh? Why don't I know"

Then she looked at Leah as she said "Fine fine. I think you should have already remembered it right?"

"Yes mom. So can you let us harness mana?" Leah asked with hopeful eyes while Lavanya also looked at her mother with some excitement.

She wanted to harness mana, become strong, protect her family and finally fly in the air, cook while sitting without touching food items, clean the house with a snap of her finger and many more.

"Hmm, I was thinking about letting you start from tomorrow. But... Let's see, you should tell me the technique. If I see any mistakes, I will teach you tomorrow, otherwise now."

"Really mom!?" Leah and Lavanya looked at each other while clearly they could see excitement in their eyes.

Then they looked at their brother only to find him in deep thoughts.

"What are you thinking brother?" Leah asked as she continued "Now that mom has told us that she could let us harness mana now, so hurry up and tell this to Mom."

They knew their brother was super smart. So let him start and they will secretly check whether what they remember is right or not.

"What are you thinking baby boy?"

Liam came out of his thoughts and looked at his mother's with a little blush.

Even though it's been six years and he doesn't feel much but calling him a baby boy is just too shameful for him.

He coughed and moved his head as he looked inside his mother's eyes.

He opened his mouth and said "Mom, from now on, I am also a big boy so don't call me baby boy."

"Fufufu then what should I call you? Big boy?"

"Mom!?"

"What? My son is really 'domineering' he doesn't even let me call him baby boy wow."

At the end as if she started crying.

He felt speechless nonetheless he said "Fine just call me whatever you want."

"Then from now on, I will call you dear. Is that fine?"

"Yes"

"Mom, one more thing... I... I want to find a new way, a new path to cultivate. Different from mana like faith or even superior to it." As he said, his voice tone became lower and lower.

He seems to think that his mother will not agree so he even said "Mom, I will also harness mana in the meantime."

Lilith who was smiling while her face was gentle stopped.

Her face became serious as her gentle expression retracted.

She opened her mouth and asked "Dear, I must tell you. Many mages had tried to find a new path, they didn't want to rely on mana but none succeeded."

"Even the path of faith and other ways are found by accident or stroke of luck."

"They aren't deducted, that means your many years of time will most likely go to waste. Even so, do you still want to try to find a new path?"

"Yes, mom. I am determined as long as you don't stop you. I believe one day I will get what I want!" Liam's face looked determined without any hint of hesitation.

Of course he knew that a new path would definitely be deduced. But in the meantime he also wanted his mother to agree with him because by that he will spend his time writing novels and later when his speed won't be as fast as his sister's, he would have a reason.

He knew that writing novels especially all day long without taking a break would take a lot of time.

So he will most likely won't have much time to harness mana, that's why he must tell and give a reason.

Now if his mother agrees with him, then he won't have to lie much later.

Lilith looked at her son for quite a while, in the end looking at her son's determined face, she nodded her head.

However she didn't want him to waste all his life in deducing a path which will never exist.

She thought for a moment and said "10 Years, if you can't have any results then you must stop and honestly harness mana, is that fine?"

"Haha more than fine. And don't worry mom, I am not an idiot and won't waste my time on illusory hope. If I really can't get any results then I will honestly harness mana, become a mage."
