[Day 37]

Today Benladann felt so good she began to walk around and even run around the cave.

I had asked her how she felt with her stomach, and she said she was now going two times a day to the bathroom, so her digestive track was back in motion!

But even then, no meat for at least a few more days!

Even if she has recovered, I don't want to provoke anything too soon, so until she truly stabilizes, we won't be going anywhere.

However, I have given her the privilege to do more active stuff.

And one of them is… practicing magic, of course!

She told me everything she knew about this world, so I did as I promised and began to teach her magic.

To think that I would have such a young padawan at my side!

I really wonder what Affinity she has… maybe just Ice? Can Mana Cores have multiple affinities like mine?

Incidentally, she knew about this stuff because she was taught by the elders of her tribe years ago.

”Mana Cores can only have a single affinity, and it is innate to the person when they are born…!” said Benladann.

”Oh… I see…” I said. I haven't told her that my wind magic is not part of my ice magic, so maybe she won't notice this.

”But you're weird, you can use two types of magic, can't you?” asked Benladann.

”Ah… Erm… Nooo!” I said, trying to convince her that her hypothesis was completely wrong.

”I have heard that there are people with two mana cores… Do you have two? You can't lie to me! We promised to trust each other, Drake!” asked Benladann.

”Hahh… Erm… No, it is not like that. Let's just say that it is just popped out of nowhere when I practiced ice magic. I don't even know why I have it, but it is just there, and it has helped me a lot,” I said.

”Hmm… Okay then,” said Benladann while squinting her eyes.

”Hmph, now tell me more about the Mana Cores,” I said while petting her head and getting all her silvery-white hair messy.

”Oh! Yeah… Mana Cores come in different colors depending on the affinity, but there are many elements… Fire, Ice, Water, Wind, Thunder, Earth, Darkness, Light, Poison, Nature, Life, Death, and there are some weird ones like Space and Time… I think there might be even more, but those are the ones I was taught,” said Benladann.

”I see… So I have a natural affinity with Ice because I am an ice dragon…” I sighed.

”Yeah, most people in my tribe had an ice affinity because we are all Ice Giant, it is the element we represent after all! But Ymir also represented life, nature, and earth, so there are usually, some Earth and Life Element Mages,” said Benladann.

”I see… and there was an awakening ceremony?” I asked.

”Oh… Yeah… That's where the mold awakened, when I tried to use my magic, only the mold answered… But now that it is suppressed by the power of your blood, maybe I can finally get out my true magic!” said Benladann.

”That would be sweet. Getting the ability to use some other kind of element that is not the Mold would be better if you really want some independence from it,” I said.

”Yeah! That's the plan…! So, can you help me get out my magic? They said I had an A-Rank Talent, so it should be fairly easy for me to conjure it,” said Benladann.

She quickly sat down near me.

I was sitting with my hind legs resting by the side, and my belly was exposed.

She was around three meters, but I was around 6, so I was obviously bigger than her, nonetheless, the little giant rested near my belly, putting her shoulders and face over it.

Damn, I got quite the belly there, never noticed it was so fat.

Now I am a bit embarrassed…

Am I a fat dragon?!
