The truth is, I needed to see for myself what magic you would manifest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Jesse frowned, taking a slight step back from him. \"That’s all? You could have just asked, though; I would have told you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl facepalmed at her brother’s apparent stupidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Jesse wanted to talk about this but didn’t get the chance to, either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s eyes lit up for a moment as the realization of his own foolish actions dawned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head at his own blunder, he reached out to hold the girl’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Jesse. I thought you were unaware of what was brewing inside you, so I wanted to force it out. I’m truly sorry for hurting you with my words. Please, can you forgive me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey offered his apology while holding his ears, looking at the girl with a genuinely somber expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesse smiled at the sight and walked toward the mage, gently prying his hands away from his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jesse will forgive you on one condition alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey lifted an inquisitive brow. \"Sure. Anything for you. What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mischievous glint appeared in her gaze, followed by a greedy gleam that flashed momentarily through her golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get me two full chickens to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s all?\" Grey asked with a confident smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesse nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey then held out his hand for a formal shake, which Jesse welcomed with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo shared a smile before Grey transitioned from crouching to sitting down on the bare ground, tugging at Jesse to join him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mild silence settled in the room as Grey reflected on the brief spar and the sheer destructiveness of Jesse’s magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a truly powerful display for someone who wasn’t even twelve yet—the standard age for any human to even begin awakening an affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here he was, a man who always prided himself on being a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had awakened later than some, he had always grasped concepts faster and more efficiently, which cemented his status as a genius among geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fact had been proven beyond doubt when he shattered expectations and manifested a domain in less than a single day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it seemed as though Jesse was on the verge of surpassing him entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already set her own record, one that nobody might be able to break for a very long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An eleven-year-old child possessing a mana core and already having such a firm grasp of her affinity? It was absolutely crazy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What should I have expected? After all, she’s my sister. Even though we aren’t related by blood, my influence has clearly rubbed off on her. Hahaha!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesse was twirling her finger on the ground in pure boredom while her brother remained deep in thought, wearing that same peculiar smile he always sported—one reminiscent of a lunatic of some sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what to make of the expression, hence she kept quiet while fantasizing about the sumptuous meal she had been promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Besides, she mused that perhaps his weird behavior or that specific smirk was the secret to why he was so formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to that conclusion, Jesse lifted her head to stare at Grey for a moment, observing the ridiculous smile frozen on his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to replicate it, and the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was tragic and somewhat terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the intensity of a gaze directed at him, Grey turned around to look at Jesse, only to yelp for a moment at the face the girl was pulling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resembled a scary clown—almost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the kind of clown that gave children nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jesse? What happened to your face?\" Grey gently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly shaking her head, the girl dispelled the smile with an awkward chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been so engrossed in what she was trying to perfect that she hadn’t noticed that Grey was done with his reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s uh... nothing, Brother Grey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey was about to turn away when a sudden thought occurred to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to face the girl, he began: \"By the way, how did you learn light magic? And when?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesse thought for a moment before replying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was Elara’s father. He taught me how to cultivate a mana core. It was incredibly painful to do, and I excreted some strange, black goo from my body which reeked badly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, the girl shuddered in disgust at the mere thought of the experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, she continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that, I got cleaned up, and from there, he was training me daily for months. I joined his children in training every day. Whenever he was busy, I would be taught by Elara’s older brother. They even said something about me being a genius of some kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke with a certain smugness, puffing her chest out while looking at the mage before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the pride died back down as a hint of sadness clouded her features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad that Jesse can only use one spell. I wish I was as strong as Brother Grey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Supreme Magus stared at her with a thoughtful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he did something he didn’t think he would be performing on his sister anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I never wanted to do this but...
