Of course, if other people were to know what Aya was thinking, they would vomit blood.
Everyone hoped to have more elements because it would allow them to use a variety of spells in battle. But Aya instead hoped that she would have fewer elements.
They would really hope that Aya's talent could be transferred to them instead.
But for magic spells, Aya didn't want to think about it.
'Let's buy some herbs first. I have to try making the potion!'
With that, Aya made her way to the drugstore.
Aya went back to the White Family Residence with heartache. She knew very well that alchemists made a lot of money from selling their potions. But at the same time, they have to buy the herbs and the price of these herbs could easily make one vomit blood.
Even with all the pocket money she had collected over the year, Aya could only buy enough batch of herbs to make 20 bottles of this mana enhancing potion.
'The price of herbs at this time is ridiculously high...'
Aya could guess that the war caused many shortgate in herbs and food, so the price remained high.
The next time she wanted to get herbs, it would be better for her to gather them by herself. Even if she's a rich little girl, the consumption would far exceed what she could gain.
But she needed to increase her mana pool.
She wanted to change the war trajectory.
Well, it was more like she wanted to save her uncle because he would die in this war to protect her father. There were also many other people who died in the war, all promising and should have a bright future but they all died in this war.
But the current Aya was not strong enough.
'Time to make the potion...'
Aya was thankful that she was an alchemist in her previous life. Even though the rank was not very high, but with the system in her hand, she could increase her skills slowly but surely.
She also didn't focus on alchemy back then.
After all, it was not necessary.
But now, she had no other choice but to learn them for the time being.
At least, until she was capable enough to increase her mana pool very quickly.
Aya locked herself in her room and only came out when it was dinner time. The elders looked in Aya's direction but didn't say much about her behavior since today is the day everyone left. The girl might be missing her father. He only reminded her that they would start training tomorrow.
After that, Aya went back to her room and looked at the 10 bottles of potion in front of her with a bright smile. The success rate was higher than 90% since she only used 11 batches of herbs.
She would make it later.
Her mental strength couldn't withstand it if she were to make more.
'In that case, let's start. I can only drink one bottle per day with my current physical strength.' Aya put away the 9 bottles in her storage bag and then drank the potion.
As the liquid entered her throat, it went down to her stomach and then Aya could feel warm in her heart. Just as she was smiling brightly, she felt sharp pain from her heart and then her back.
Aya laid on the bed and bite the sheet.
She forgot how painful this thing is.
Even though the substitution to increase one's mana pool was cheap, there was one side effect.
IT'S EXTREMELY PAINFUL.
Aya didn't know how long she screamed in her mind while biting the sheet. By the time she was done, she was completely drenched in sweat as if she had just taken a bath. Of course, this bath has a foul smell.
Aya didn't pay attention to it and inspected her heart almost immediately.
She rejoiced when she saw that her mana had increased. The amount was quite substantial and if she added it with the mana that she has before...
Aya looked at the system in her mind.
[Automatic training system]
[slots 1: mana meditation and warming up, rank 7: 58%]
[slots 2: magic inheritance training, rank 1: 59%]
[slots 3: mind meditation, rank 5: 36%]
[slots 4: alchemy, rank 4: 34%]
Well, her alchemy rank was from her previous life and after making these 10 bottles of potion, she has more or less got back that feeling. The problem was, the improvement would be extremely slow without sufficient knowledge.
But Aya didn't want to put other magic spells there.
After putting in the fourth slot, Aya could feel that her mana decreased by a large chunk once more. The mana that she had only obtained from the potion was all used along with the mana that she had meditated for the past couple of weeks.
Now, she might not even be able to open her crystal eyes...
'Welp, there they go.'
If Aya didn't open the fourth slot, her mana that she could use would be much more. However, Aya had to increase this alchemy rank so that she would not waste the herbs again.
These herbs were expensive, alright?
What Aya didn't expect was that because her mana had decreased again, the elder refused to teach her basic spell and instead told her to practice meditation again aside from physical training.
She completely forgot that to learn the basic spell, one had to have a certain amount of mana.
And because Aya opened the fourth slot, the amount of mana that she could use was pitifully small to the point that it was impossible for her to learn them.
"It's alright, Aya. If you continue to practice meditation, your mana will naturally increase," Evan consoled Aya.
Aya nodded weakly. She couldn't tell him that her mana was actually much more than Evan, right? If not because of her 'system'....
Forget it, there was no point in thinking about this.
"I'll go and practice!"
"Uhm, can I go to the back mountain..."
"No, before you learn the basic spells, you're not allowed to go." the elder looked at Aya suspiciously. "Why do you want to go there?"
"To earn money?" Aya replied weakly.
The heiress of the White Family is lacking in money?
If people were to know about this, they would definitely laugh at them.
"I'll give you more pocket money, so just focus on your practice."
