Chapter 44: Inborn Talent
A fair amount of time has passed since they arrived in the Imperial Capital.
Could it be because of the change in location? Some aspects of their lifestyle subtly shifted.
The most significant change was that Shiron began to manage the main and secondary events of the annex. Unlike in Dawn Castle, where maids would bring food to individual rooms, Shiron suggested eating together with Lucia, citing reduced manpower.
Hows todays menu? It isnt too bland, is it?
Mmm. Its delicious.
Lucia replied while swallowing a bite of her red pasta. Unlike the tough and salty chunks of meat they had at Dawn Castle, the groceries supplied to the annex were consistently of high quality.
Anything made tasted great.
However, seemingly unsatisfied with her reaction, Shiron brought out a metal plate and a white mass.
Just wait a moment.
Shiron started to produce white powder with adept hand movements.
Hows this?
It tastes even better than before.
I see.
Shiron jotted down Lucias feedback in a notebook he took from his pocket. Only after confirming Lucia was fully satisfied did Shiron take his seat at the table.
Even though I made it, it does taste good.
Of course, Shiron didnt personally prepare every meal. He merely planned the menu for the day, tailoring the dishes to Lucias taste.
Once the menu was finalized, it was passed on to the demon maids. Without Shirons direct touch, Lucia could taste it whenever she wanted.
Lately, the dishes served at the table have all gone through this custom process. Despite the hassle, Shiron took charge without any complaints.
Is this really okay?
Lucia pondered as she took a bite with her fork. Delegating everything to a young child made her feel guilty over time.
Though she also looked like a young child, wasnt Lucia a reincarnated person with memories of her previous life?
Despite Shirons superior sociability, intellect, and culinary skills, Lucia didnt want to become a woman who seemed spoon-fed by others, especially not by an eleven-year-old boy.
Once, she offered to help, not wanting to be solely on the receiving end. Still, she was only told to stay put since he was doing it of his own accord.
In the end, Lucia decided to humbly accept Shirons goodwill.
She respectfully declined Eldrinas offer to hire as many servants as needed. Shiron handled matters within what Lucia could accept. It would be ungrateful to ask for more.
About today.
Hm?
Lucia stopped mid-bite into a piece of bread, sauce dripping from it. Shiron gestured for her to continue eating.
Siriel mentioned practicing martial arts.
Lucia made a lukewarm expression at this.
She had always known of Shirons interest in martial arts, but regrettably, she couldnt guide him herself.
Until recently, she believed that simply swinging a sword would naturally accumulate internal energy.
While Lucia could instinctively handle martial arts and gather energy, she realized others might not have the same aptitude.
I mentioned it in passing before, but it seems youre still concerned about my inability to handle internal energy.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
Shiron said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
The central mechanic of Reincarnation of the Sword Saint was its adaptability and proficiency, which was quite intuitive. The more you sustained a combat state while wielding a weapon, the more your proficiency increased. Prolonged exposure to states like being frozen or poisoned gradually increased resistance, aiding in easier game clearance.
However,
Aspects like internal energy, mana, qi, and martial arts were unfamiliar elements.
Even if you had extra arms without knowing how to sense and use them, itd be useless, right? Thus, the opportunity had come after continuously postponing due to such reasons.
Good morning!
Why did you come all the way here? If you had waited at the training field, we would have come to you.
Whats the difference? I wanted to see you sooner.
Siriels cheerful greeting filled the air. There were still 20 minutes left to their promised time, but Siriel was already on the lower floor with Johan.
Ill guide the mana through your veins now. You might feel a strange sensation flowing inside you.
Understood.
Is this something like the energy circulation from martial arts novels?
Sss Haa
Shiron recalled the Danjeon breathing he had once seen on TV.
I can definitely feel something.
Johans touch seemed to guide a certain energy into Shirons heart.
However,
For some reason, that energy seemed to linger and circle in his heart rather than spread throughout his body. It felt as though something was obstructing it.
Hmm
Johan, sensing the anomaly, withdrew his hand from Shirons back.
Would you like to try this? Its a potion that temporarily increases the mana concentration within the body.
Johan offered Shiron a bottle filled with a blue liquid. Without uttering a word, Shiron nodded and opened the bottle.
Plop-
Shiron gulped down the shimmering blue liquid in one go. Surprisingly, it had no taste.
Lets start again.
Yes.
Johan began channeling mana through Shirons seated form.
He tried to channel.
But,
No matter how much time passed, there was no sign of the mana spreading.
Could you lie down for a moment?
Shiron turned and lay down. Looking up at Johan, the older mans face was drenched in sweat. It was evident how much Johan had exerted himself, given how exhausted he appeared.
Johan began to press various points on Shirons body as if checking his pulse.
After a brief moment, Johan closed his eyes with a heavy sigh.
Your energy pathways are tangled.
The pathways in the upper and middle regions are so intertwined that it seems difficult to progress any further.
The upper and middle regions refer to the head and heart.
What do you mean by that?
Lucia, sensing the gravity of the situation, interjected.
Shiron cannot handle mana in his current state. Forcing the pathways open can have severe repercussions It could even be fatal.
Johan struggled with this news.
In other words, not only could Shiron not become a mage, but even thriving as a warrior would be challenging.
Im sorry.
Johan spoke with the heaviness of sentencing someone to their doom, a shadow cast over his face.
Hey, theres no need for you to apologize. Im okay.
Shiron smiled as if it wasnt a big deal.
He had always known something like this would be the case. The lack of talent was something Shiron understood better than anyone. The only difference was now he knew the reason.
However,
Lucia, who got up to check on him, did not seem okay.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
