TBATE Back to save you

CHAPTER 16: Mana rotation

Arthur POV

The past two weeks have passed in a very monotone rhythm

I would spend most of my time helping Ellie with her training, and the rest would go into hanging out with my family

During the nights I would go to the beast glades to look for Alcaryans, but so far I had no luck

I explored quite a bit of S and SS-ranked dungeons, and even some AA-ranked ones, but there were no sightings of them

' Maybe they became more careful? After all, we were raiding them quite frequently' Sylvie said through our bond

' That might be the case' I answered back and started thinking about possibilities

Now that they know that something is not right, they might even send a retainer or a scythe to investigate

While I won't have any troubles if a fight between us breaks out, I won't be able to handle it quietly

I am sure that somebody would notice and report our fight, and once it gets to the council, Lances will be dispatched

But even so, I need proof for tonight's meeting with gramps, Cynthia, and Gideon

There is no need for proof to give to Cynthia since she is already from Alcarya, gramps won't need much since he trusts me and is aware of other continents' existence, so I am basically only worried about that madman

' I will go and look for it in the glades, so you should go and train with Ellie, papa '

' Got it' and like this, our little debate was over

Regis was unusually quiet these days, he said that he has something to deal with and that I shouldn't bother him

I am only worried that he is up to something, and if he is, it will be bad

I know him well enough to know what can excite him, woman, aether, himself, and mischief

And since it's neither of the first three...

I don't need to explain any further, right?

Coming to the field where we are training I saw Ellie waiting for me excitedly

One of the notable things about her was the small mana orb that was flying above her. I thought her how to create it and instructed her that she should keep it active at all times and that if she doesn't have enough mana she should just come to me or Sylvie and we would refill her core

When she noticed me she ran to me and hugged me

" What are we doing today, brother?" She asked with stars in her eyes

I just patted her head while slowly sitting down

Once I am in the meditating pose I gesture to Ellie to sit down as well

I noticed that she was a little awkward while she was taking the pose

'Guess that she doesn't like to stay still that much'

I scanned the area to make sure that no one is spying on us, after all, it would be bad if someone were to see the technique that I am about to teach Ellie

The only person that I could sense nearby was mom

I decided that it would be for the best if she is by our side so I conjured a chair out of the earth, and with a light gesture of hand told her to come and sit with us

After mom came and sat down she looked at me a little confused, and so did Ellie, and I don't blame them, this is the first time that mom is going to be with us training
