One month later.
Xasha walked out of the Enchantment Department, crossed the courtyard, and walked into the combat magic department. He found an empty energy chamber and started meditating. He needed to organize all the information in his head.
Xasha once asked his mother about why people have to meditate and why is it only done in energy chambers. His mother told him that meditation was not a requirement for attracting mana. One's body passively attracts mana 24 hours a day. The rate of attraction is higher while a person is asleep. While one is asleep, the body isn't using as
Xasha had to wait 10 weeks before he saw either of his parents again. He was not idle during this time at all. He raised every like library, study room, and storage room that he could find. He wanted to expand his knowledge of runes and magic circles.He needed to study as many magic circles as possible and the runes that make them up. He would then try to translate those runes into words and sentences. Observe what these runes are commanding different energy particles to do and how energy particles respond to those commands.
Energy beast corpses were treasures beyond compare. Every inch of them had value and could be sold for a small fortune. The blood, tears, eyes, mucus, and other bodily fluids and organs could be sold to alchemists. The skin and scales make clothes, armor, and parchment. The bones, teeth, and claws make weapons and jewelry, magic cores are used to make energy bombs and their meat is filled with rich mana and it tastes great.Xasha spent 10 days dissecting and the butchering all the energy beast corpses, in that time he learned so much that he didn't know before that he wished he had another 2 thousand energy beast corpses to study.
Xara took off sprinting towards her son. Seeing this, Xasha got so scared that he almost started running in the opposite direction. Before he could even think to move Xara was already in front of him with the Storm Caller already in her hands. She was looking at the blade as if it was a newborn baby and she would never let it go."What is this? How did you do this? Are these runes here? And they are so Intricate too, and so small. How did you draw runes so small? Why are the lines so thin? What did you use?" She was inspecting every inch.
The Draconic Cobra King was much bigger and stronger than the Red Dragon Snake, with Mature Draconic Cobra Kings being well over one hundred meters long. The blade Xasha and Xara made was from one of its 10ft long fangs, that they then cut in half.The teeth weren't the strongest alloy on the cobra's body, but Xasha chose it because it was like the Murder Hornet's stinger. Holes in it were a tiny being about the point of an unsharpened pencil. They were three holes in total and like the hornet's stinger it prevents mana leakage and it was completely flame resistant.
Xasha was a prince. Technically, he's the king's younger brother's great-grandson. His mother had relinquished her title as a princess and married Xasha's father before he was born. So it is more accurate to say that Xasha had royal blood in him, but he was not a prince.Xasha was dreading his meeting with the king because he knew what it meant. A soul contract. The king knew of Xasha's talent and he also knew of the magic compression techniques that he developed.
The party ended after midnight. Most people went home, those who will stay the night were still in the venue drinking and dancing. The king was one such person. Xasha sat at a table talking with Megan, who was also staying the night when an attendant came to summon him. He gave Megan a kiss, then followed the attendant.He was calm; he had prepared himself for the conversation with the king. The attendant took him to his father's study inside the mansion.
The Moment Xasha entered his mansion, he could tell something was off. He turned to Megan who had entered the Living room behind him and said, "someone was in the house". 'I need a security system' he immediately thought. He brought out Storm Caller and got into a defensive stance before Megan to protect her.He checked the rooms on the first floor one by one. Though he found nothing out of the ordinary, he did not drop his guard. Moving on to the second floor to check those rooms, he heard a faint sound, like a girl's scream coming from somewhere on the second floor. Pinpointing where the screams were coming from,
Verra was made the head of the alchemy department with her deputy being Dixon, a 3rd-year Alchemy student. Xasha was the head of the enchantment department with his deputy being Eloise. Gin was the head of the hunting department with his deputy being Fredrick, a 4th-year combat magic student. Megan was in charge of sales, distribution, and marketing with her 3 deputies Cecile on sales, Dana on marketing, and Stephen on distribution.Megan and her team of deputies were in a meeting with a large trading company that moved products all over the continent. They were in a large warehouse filled with magic devices, large
