Volume 1 - Showers Chapter 72: Observations and Experiences (1)
Donawan's letter home:
Dear Mike, you haven't been replying, how are you doing? Did you eat on time?
I have a couple of surprising news to tell you.
The first is that Josh's mana is progressing so fast that he can now whip up gusts of wind and control their speed and direction to a certain extent. However, it is infuriating that Josh has been destroying Aiji's skirt lately, and Aiji has been aggrieved - she has no talent for mana mana, and after snarling a few times and being punished by Lady Stella, she has to silently sew them with a needle and thread.
Josh has received the punishment he deserves, and Aiji wants him to sew up his own torn pants, cape, and shoes to experience the pain that others experience when they work hard. I think it's a good punishment, and while I know Josh didn't mean to destroy Aiji's clothes, it gives him an idea of how much pain and complaints mana can inadvertently cause to those who love him and those he loves before they can be completely controlled by him.
But I'm sure Josh will soon be able to get out of this situation where he can't fully control his mana. Honestly, Josh is really smart, so I'm sure he'll be able to try meditating in about ten months—your son, he's inherited your gift, Mike. And, of course, mine. I was upset a while, but I've adjusted my mindset, and lately I've been training Josh to manipulate red mana in addition to Master Slava's quest.
Of course, Aiji and Lena's arithmetic and literacy are not left behind. Aiji didn't inherit our spellcasting ability, but it seems to have inherited our linguistic talent.
Under the instruction of Ms. Stella, Mr. Jorgen, and me, Aigie was able to read and write the Holy Falcon Emperor Chinese fluently, and Mr. Jorgen taught her a beautiful hand of flower characters. I had wanted Aegie to learn the noble language of the Ella Prayer, but the only two children who could read and write it, Anastasia and Givele.
As you know, Gvir is not resident at Longtala, so Anastasia, who only worships Ella in the Church, frequents Longtala.
For some reason, Anastasia and Aiji don't seem to like each other very much. It's not that they have any conflicts, but I'm a person from the past, and I can always sense that there is some weird atmosphere between them. Therefore, I didn't force it, and I took it upon myself to teach Aiji's hugger ciphertext.
Although Aiji does not yet have the ability to write, he already recognizes more than 100 ciphertexts and more than 300 combinations and sentences—a remarkable achievement as a child who has no ability to cast spells. When I first learned the Hugger ciphertext, it took me more than a year to reach the level of Aiji, and Aiji took less than a month.
And that's not even the most exciting. The biggest surprise was that Lena's casting talent was even higher than Josh's, and I would even like to assert that that kid's talent might not be below you—far beyond me.
Once Josh played a prank on Lena, he rubbed a gust of wind with his hand and ruffled Lena's hair.
You know that Lena has a more temperamental personality like me, and she's willing to give up - Anastasia just helped her with a very beautiful knot.
So Lena slapped Josh's fan back - directly freezing Josh in place. Oh, there's someone who can teach Josh a lesson! Josh was so scared that he cried on the spot, it really didn't make sense. Sunderland sneered at him - and then Lena froze her shoes as well. Lena and Elena laughed as they approached Yogan and told him about it, and finally Yogan came to me, and I realized that Lena had mastered magic to this extent.

Donawan's letter home:
Oh dear. I received your letter, and what it says is astonishing. But I'm proud of our kids, really. My dear, this is inseparable from your education and care for your children. Hawkers, Josh is a little naughty sometimes, and Lena's temperament is very similar to you, but who is Aiji like? Well, I still feel a little like you, but more and more like Anna.
I'm still tracking the shaking of the Ivory, and I feel a strange flow of mana, but it's very obscure—it contains mana in all five colors. I was very puzzled by this, but I seemed to have grasped something, and Mr. Tesla once told me about something - "dragon vein".
This term comes from the cultivators of the Qin'a Empire. I suspect that Gekit guy has at least one of the Dao Masters helping him - I've reported this to Slava, and you need to be safe, too.
But don't worry about me, again, I'll go back with a gift.

"First of all, according to what we know so far, the executioners have rallied many forces to attack Zanmir." Funa said.
"I know, Gruul, the Thieves' Guild, the Head Mercenary Regiment, the Bandit Balmer. "Old Griffin Hart clearly did a good job of intelligence.
"And that's not all, sir. And the Shivana Eaves Walker, and perhaps the Devil of Regret. Funa said worriedly.
Hearing this, old Griffinhardt stood up with a "poof" and paced back and forth in the small chamber. "Oh! Sky! Damn, it can't be! Forget about Sivana's Eaves Walker, it's a pity that Gekit dares to use such a thing? No way! It's impossible! The Emperor would not allow such a war. There's a conspiracy in this! ”
"Rest easy, sir." Funa said.
"Oh! God, Funa, you should have told me a long time ago! Now, I suspect we won't be able to win with those big-tailed wolves - Gekett can eat both of our territories - if they really have a bad devil. Sandos slammed his fist on the table, and the glass of water in front of Funa vibrated with it.
"Oh my God! Sandos, sit down! You sit down! You give me a headache! Funa clutched her head and let out a disgruntled voice.
"Uh, I... I'm sorry, Funa, I, I just lost my temper. The old man gasped.
"Hey, listen to me! I'm just saying that there may be a Devil, but not necessarily, in fact Donavan Kid is being tasked with investigating the matter, and we all think it's Gekitt's Ecstasy. ”
"Oh, then I'm relieved, Funa, it's true, if Gekit has a regret demon, he can attack directly, and he can resist more than a thousand soldiers if he has a regret demon."
"You're finally sane? Santos? I thought your brain was taken by a griffin or a thunderhawk and fed to a chick! Funa teased.
"Oh, Funa, I can't pretend I didn't hear you!"
"Did I just say something? My lord? Funa pretended that nothing had happened, a smile on her lips, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were huddled together.
"Oh, perhaps, auditory hallucinations! Funa, go on, talk about Zamir's secret army and weapons, talk about the hole cards of the big-tailed wolf. ”
"First of all, I want to tell you that Zamir's Blue Speed Dragoons have been strengthened because of the guy who was Anna's escort - at least his contribution cannot be erased."
"Huh?"
"The young man's name is Gonzalez, and he's good at raising blue speeds. He found a way to increase the chances of Blue Sathrosaurus conceiving. With the help of Donavan Kids, he also increased the hatching rate of Blue Speeddragon eggs by about 10%. Do you know how many blue-speed dragoons there are in the Zamir Territory now? Funa asked.
"I guess 400 at most, it's no threat – for Gekitt." The old man said firmly.
"Actually, as far as I know, Zamir now has 800 well-equipped Blue Speed Dragoons who have been trained for more than 3 years, and there are another 1,000 Blue Speed Dragoons who are being trained." Funa reported an unexpected number for old Griffin Hart.
"Even with this number, it doesn't say that they can defeat the Guillotine Legion - this kind of elite infantry in super-heavy plate armor is not something that those lightly armored blue-speed dragoons can deal with. It's possible that their scimitars and short spears won't even be able to leave a crack in the heavy armor of the Guillotine Legion. ”
"What if twenty cowardly Xue Gangsters are in charge of training and leading them?"
"Any formation and legion will be penetrated. Sky! Where did Slava get so much ... Oh! Damn it, orcs! It's an orc! The old man screamed.
"That's right, Carlo and Mirialia are in the fight."
"But only strong cavalry can win battles but not take castles, right?" Old Griffinhart kind of understood what Funa meant.
"That's where our value lies, and that's the basis for our partnership."
