Chapter 145 - A Frail Body

Name:My Mage System Author:CeliaNaya
Kevin thought that it would be great, like when he did his hours of workout and stretching, this would allow him to stop just at 30 minutes and not waste any more time.

Suddenly a chronometer appeared right in front of him and Kevin couldn't help but smirk, as soon as he asked for it, as soon as he got it, his System was definitely becoming more and more practical.

Kevin then concentrated to his fullest until the particles became more and more numerous and then he began to absorb them, no matter what color they were.

Exactly 30 minutes later, Kevin came out of his meditation and while pretending to take out from his magic bag the ingredients he needed to craft 2 more potions, he bought them directly from his System's Store.

And finally, because he was in the corner of the classroom so no one was paying attention to him, and that he had decided to use Alan's technique, he was able to make 10 potions and meditate for 2 hours during Ian class.

He really hadn't expected to be able to craft so many potions, and when he had finished to craft his 10th potion, he had heard the sound of the System echoing through his head and while remaining unmoved despite the excitement that was overwhelming him, he opened the holographic screen of his System in front of his eyes and read the new message.

[ Congratulations, you have reached the potions low grade level 2, you will now gain 20 experience points and 2 Soul force points per potion. ]

Kevin found it hard to believe it at first, damn it, he thought, crafting potions was really the equivalent for mages of what fighting against the monsters that were in dungeons was for fighters.

And he was only at level 2 of the potions low grade, he decided to take a quick look at his Crafting potions skill block and he saw that he needed to craft 100 potions this time to get to level 3.

When the class was over Kevin greeted Ian from afar and walked out of the classroom with Ashton, it was the first time he hadn't tried to disappear into the crowd and he really loved the feeling that he had now a friend in his class.

Ashton had an easy-going sunny personality and he was really excited to finally be able to learn how to fight, and as Douglas had said to Ashton, they got along very well together.

He had told him that he would also teach him to aim and throw blades, and Ashton had promised to him that he would be a good student and that he would work hard.

Even though Ashton found it odd that Kevin knew how to fight and throw blades, he didn't think too much about it because he was finally going to learn what he had always dreamt of.

It hadn't been easy for him, he didn't have a brother or a sister to help him to shoulder the responsibility that his family had given to him.

And his family had trained him to be a mage since he was a child, luckily for him, he was very talented, a real prodigy according to them, but no one had never asked him for his opinion.

If he could have chosen he would have definitely chosen to be a fighter.

Well, technically it was impossible as he had a Soul force reserve and not a Chakra reserve, but at least they could have taught him how to defend himself.

But his family was specialized in crafting potions and remedies, they never fought on the battlefield.

It had been a very long time since he had felt any excitement of being a mage and his life before joining the Sun Sect had been rather boring.

But thanks to Kevin, that would all change soon, not only would Kevin teach him how to fight but he would also help him to develop offensive spells.

He was sure of it, just seeing how he had managed to form blades with the spiritual energy so easily, he knew that with Kevin, being a mage wouldn't be so boring anymore, and maybe the person he had secretly loved would finally look at him as a man after that, and not like a kid anymore.

He had thought that becoming an official member of the organization would change his view on him, but he had looked rather annoyed when he had showed him his black bandage.

He said to him that his parents shouldn't have agreed to it and that it was too dangerous ... For him he was too young to be part of the organization.

But Ashton would show him that he was wrong and that no matter how old he was, he was ready and worthly to fight alongside them.

After they had parted ways, Kevin walked over to his pavilion and he was really delighted with Ashton's enthusiasm, he wondered if he would keep that enthusiasm even after he would have given to him a workout plan.

Kevin would start by teaching him the basics of fighting techniques but with this frail body Ashton wouldn't be able to do a miracle.

He hadn't checked his Stats yet, but it was obvious that he needed some muscle building, or to be more precise, he needed to increase drastically all his Stats to strengthen his body.

He would check on it first this afternoon, for now, he was in a hurry to meditate and start filling out the Lightning Talisman papers.

Once arrived at home, he went to the kitchen to cook and on the way he went to get their baby phoenix who was in the living room so as not to feel alone.

He couldn't wait to see what he would look like once born, Liam had told them that he would be able to take on human form only when he would become powerful enough and he would probably have the appearance of a child of 7, 8 years old for his first shapeshifting.

He also told them that the growth of a phoenix was very fast and that he wouldn't stay with this child's body for long, at most it would take him 1 year to reach his adult form and he would then look like a young man in his twenties.

Once he would have reached his adult form, he would be able to control his animal form size like Axel did with his wolf and his human appearance would no longer change.

Liam had studied with Xander at the capital's Academy, he had therefore had access to their library during his studies and even after, which is why he knew so much about phoenixes.
