'Was that meant to demoralize me?'

[...maybe]

'...'

'I don't think it worked'

[I see]

"Well I guess I still have a long way to immortality but that doesn't mean I haven't found a solution to increasing my brain power stats"

William got up from where he was sitting and headed towards the kitchen

"Hey guys I have a request for you"

"What is it, young master?"

"Well can I get some food and from now on I'll be eating food in my room"

The chief looked at William weirdly before agreeing

"I'll have the food prepared right now"

After that William left the kitchen with the food in hand and entered his room

"Alright it's time to try this"

William tore off a piece of bread and dipped it into a soup prepared by the chef cause in a short time this was what the chief could prepare

'Wait first I should start circulating the warrior's mana path and cover up my digestive system as a form of protection '

William started surrounding his digestive system with mana after a lot of difficulties

When William finished he realized that he needs to circulate mana through both the warrior and mage paths

At this point, William tried to start the circulation of both pathways but he instantly felt exhausted and fell to the ground

huff...huff...huff my body can't keep up with both pathways at the same time

[What did you think was gonna happen when you haven't practised your warrior pathway and then suddenly decide to do it while both are activated]

"A warning would have been nice"

[Well who told you to act so smart ]

"..."

'Is this still the Emma I know'

'Huff I guess I've got no choice but to start practising my circulation of the warrior pathway and make it efficient enough for me to use'

William looked at the piece of bread and his eyes glinted at it

He started using his mage path to provide mana to the piece of bread He closed his eyes and tried to feel what is going on just using the pure mana and to his surprise, he could sense whatever the mana is touching

He tried to sense the piece of bread covered in soup by holding it and covering it with his mana and he slowly started to sense what was going on inside of it and it fucking blew his mind to see such minute things he tried to cover it the outer layers of this piece of bread but when he was doing it he tried to change the way the mana coats it

William tried to give the bread a coat that enhances the bread as a whole but he tried to make it a soft use of mana

After William did this he put it into his mouth not caring about whether he gets injured or not

[William stop that's very risky!]

But William didn't care and he put the enhanced piece of bread into his mouth~

Boom! An explosion of flavour suddenly graced William's mouth making his eyes shoot wide open then he continues to bite it and the flavour just kept getting more intense and when he finished it William blacked out

[William! William!]

[Initialising host's body scan]

[Scan completed]

[Hosts condition: Perfectly Healthy]

[Sigh this guy just keeps me making me worried with his weird thinking and experiments]

*4 hours later*

"Huh, what happened to me!"

[You enhanced the piece of bread including the soup filled with already rich nutrients when you covered the whole bread so when you enhanced it, you enhanced everything including the flavour smell all of it including its nutrients not only that you used the amount of mana you normally use to strengthen a wooden sword in combat which us let me remind you very strong so when you swallowed it all these enhanced things burst out into your mouth overwhelming you but you held on however when you swallowed it caused mana enhanced nutrients to enter your body which also enhanced your body to another level]

"Really Emma show me my stats"

[Strength:7

Speed:6

Dexterity:6

Mana:4

Brain Power:9]

"Oh wow my strength and Dexterity have almost reached the peak of Mortal stage I guess that was worth it hahaha"

[You could have had an overdose and died]

[From now on it's just gonna get harder]

"..."

"Hey would you look at the time it's time to sleep"

"Timeskip 1 year"

A 4-foot 3-inch tall boy with grey hair could be seen walking down a Grand hallway along with two adults

'So here we go to meet the Emperor again because of his daughter's Awakening ceremony let's hope she's not the same as ...what was his name again ...whatever 'the prince'

William was led through the hall towards a Grand looking door where a person in knight armour entered the door to announce our presence

When he exited he opened the grand-looking door for us, inside we could see lots of people inside this very large hall all looking at us and some whispering to the groups they were in

'God, I can already tell this gonna be annoying'

We walked into the hall and my parents then looked at each other's eyes with determination

.

.

.

Then they split away leaving William alone

'Traitors!!! This is so annoying my ass is still hurting from riding in that God-forsaken carriage and now I have gotta socialize with these annoying pr-'

"Hey my name is Alex Graham"

William's face immediately did a 180 and he put on a charming smile

"Hey my name is William grey"

"Ya I can see that" Alex whispered

William who has strong hearing heard that

'Is this guy just here to cause trouble, does he really think he can do much to a grand Duke family

Although William thought like that he still looked around and noticed the prince looking over to their side

'Hmm last time I basically destroyed 'the prince's so there is a chance this guy is his lackey like my brother huff, nothing I can do about it now

"So what is your family rank?" William asked

"I am the first son of count Graham"

"Oh, that's it?" William said with a smiling face

Alex noticeably flinched when William said that and he looked toward the prince

'Well I guess that confirms my theory, I'm just gonna go to a corner to relax until this is over

'Well nice to meet you now excuse me"

After William said that Alex's face instantly turned into one of panic and again he looked at the prince who simply nodded

William looked at all of this with an amused smile on his face and when he was about to walk away the juice cup in Alex's suddenly flung not towards me but towards himself!

*splat*

"Oh my God! what have you done William Gray you just pushed my cup of juice onto me just because of a minor disagreement!"
