"Sure! Let's go outside "Fionn replied as he began walking outside the mansion.

"You two stay here," Floyd said to Jaxson and the youth before following Fionn outside.

Outside the mansion.

Taking a long, deep breath Fionn begins to demonstrate the muscle-building exercise he learned from his grandfather. Previously, when he was at his peak, he could perform this exercise routine hundreds of times without breaking a sweat. But now, even one repetition causes him to gasp in agony, with muscles all over his body aching intensely. As he performed the exercise, he noticed that the difficulty he was having in drawing in mana had significantly decreased. Receiving the sudden increase in mana supply, the golden sun pattern on his forehead begins to glow brightly, hastening his body's recovery.

As Fionn repeated the set of exercises, the changes in his body became more visible.

Floyd had a thoughtful expression on his face as he observed the changes in Fionn's body.

"What are your thoughts now?" Fionn gasped for air as he lay flat on the ground, unable to move a single muscle due to exhaustion from the exercise.

"It's pretty convincing, but why do you want to go to the hunting ground when you could train like this in my yard as well?" Floyd inquired.

"I'd like to practise some battle spells there and also fight some magical creatures. The more intense my physical workout, the faster I recover," Fionn explained.

"You're aware that even if your body recovers, you'll still have difficulty absorbing mana due to the injury to your soul, right? And having such a weakness on a hunting ground is extremely lethal "cautioned Floyd.

"I know and I can handle it," Fionn stated confidently.

Floyd sighed as he heard Fionn's confident words and said, "I'll let you go on one condition."

"What is the condition?" Fionn inquired.

"Jaxson will accompany you to the hunting ground" Floyd stated flatly.

"You've got to be kidding, right? Do you think I'm so stupid that I'll let someone watch me train and see all my strengths and weaknesses? "Fionn expressed his displeasure.

When Floyd heard Fionn's words, he blushed and said, "There is no other way around."

"Let me be very clear about this. Because I am not yet an official student, I am under no obligation to follow your rules. I chose this academy solely because of a relative and the illustrious reputation it possesses, which I am beginning to seriously doubt now because nothing good has happened to me since I arrived on your prestigious campus. If you intend to limit my freedom, I will leave immediately. I believe in my abilities and believe I can reach my full potential anywhere "Fionn stated unequivocally after being pissed by Floyd's behaviour.

Floyd fell silent after Fionn's outburst and said after a while, with a sigh, "fine, you can go. Jaxson will take you there tomorrow, but remember to return on time," he added, handing Fionn two silver tokens" Bring these teleportation tokens with you. Crush them, and you'll be teleported back to this mansion in an instant. One is for your return trip, and the other is for a potentially dangerous unforeseen situation in the future."

"Many thanks!" "I'll remember this favour," Fionn said as he took the tokens.

"There's no need to thank me; just don't talk nonsense about leaving the academy in the future. Legacy is more than an academy; it is a family that grows together and abandons no one "Floyd responded as he began walking inside the mansion.

"Well, he doesn't seem like a bad guy," Fionn murmured happily after receiving permission to go to the hunting ground.

But then his smile faded, and he said coldly, his eyes flashing an intense shade of purple, "now the only task left to do is find out who hurt me."

The next day, in a luxurious airship.

"We've arrived. This forest you see down below is a Legacy level 2 hunting ground "said Jaxson, pointing out the window of the Airship.

"Thank you for your trouble," Fionn said with a smile.

"Not a problem. Oh, and one more thing! There will be other students in the hunting area as well, so be cautious " warned Jaxson.

"Why should I be wary of my fellow academy students?" Fionn, perplexed, inquired.

"Obviously, there would be some bad apples in a basket, not all students are kind," Jaxson stated matter-of-factly.
