After the whole fight ended and after I comforted Zephy and he apologized to Scarlet, we decided to go have lunch. Surprisingly, our fight was much longer than I had anticipated, lasting over an hour. It seemed that the two of us simply didn’t want it to end. I had to admit it, I enjoyed it a bit. My brother was amazingly strong, much more than I imagined. His future was truly bright!

However, he had started crying a lot after the fight, probably because he had a mix of many emotions, so I comforted him with hugs and kisses, and told him that I loved him sincerely. He responded with a smile, and slowly got better.

Sheesh, he really loves breaking his big sister heart with all the times he starts to cry like that! I almost felt like dying when I saw him crying. I just don’t want that to happen ever again.

Zephy is incredibly precious to me after all, I’ve seen him grow since he was a baby, so in a way it also feels like he’s my baby. So when I saw him crying... Ugh, I had to made sure to make him feel better afterwards.

But then he felt better, and smiled, and it seemed that things finally went back to normal. Mom checked us, and dad cheered us up, and then, we found ourselves enjoying yet another feast of many monster meats, preparations of all kinds, and more for lunch.

"Nom, nom, nom!"

Zephy and I were currently devouring plate after plate of food. After fighting while using our Auras and all our powers, we felt very exhausted, and eating always restores energy. Especially thanks to our advanced Physiques, we needed to rapidly eat to make up for all the calories lost.

As we ate, I saw that there was a new Quest, for some reason, a completed quest that had popped up when I fought with Zephy, I had originally thought Quests only popped mostly when fate-changing events happened.

So was my spar with Zephy that important to fate itself?

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have Completed the {Challenge Quest}: {Spar With Zephy For At Least 40 Minute While Only Using Swordsmanship}!]

[Not only have you let your little brother showcase his true strength, but you’ve restrained yourself and not used any offensive skill other than those that would simply assist you in manipulating your powers better.]

[Although the fight could have ended very quickly if you used most of your skills, you stopped yourself from doing so, giving your brother a moment to grow stronger as he tapped upon his limits and then surpassed them.]

[You’re a really good big sister!]

[Completion Rewards]: [10.000.000 EXP] [Zephyrus Skill Scroll (S Grade)] x1 [Nightmare- Protecting Soul Strengthening Elixir (SS Grade)] x1 [System Fragment: Title System 1/3] These rewards were much better than I imagined for a Quest like that! Above all, I got a Skill Scroll from my brother?! So I could now learn a skill based on his Abilities, that sounds crazy! Also a strange Elixir and... Wait is this? A System Fragment?

[The {Quest System} has provided, as always, ways for you to grow stronger, while also helping the System as a whole.]

[Through the power of Casualty and Fate Essence, they have produced a System Fragment that could help your Glitched System awaken yet another ability it lost.]

[Gather two more fragments through completing Quests to obtain such System Ability.]

So that’s how it is! That sounds pretty good, actually.

But this Elixir, is it for me or...?

[The {Quest System} states that the Elixir was made for Zephyrus!]

[They had detected that the power they were born with is very strong, so strong their soul seems to be constantly struggling to hold it all back.]

[This Elixir might help them in the nightmares they go through, provoked by this immense power they were born with, and also to make their soul stronger so they can better resist the darkness and instead, take control of it.]

I see...

Yeah, pretty much everyone in the family already knows of Zephy’s condition.

My mother did say it was dangerous, but thanks to the new Physique he got from the Golden Phoenix, the darkness has been slightly countered by this powerful golden flame light.

It brings him immense power, but it is also not something he can control properly, so he needs a lot of care. Mom will go to an inheritance area where previous saints left their knowledge and magic.

Maybe something could be compatible with his new Phoenix Physique and his developing Golden Flames Magic. Hopefully something that could help him better balance that dark side

Of his powers.

But for now, everything is fine, although worrying about the future is not too bad, as it helps you get prepared, getting so concerned you lose your sight of the present is not good either.

We enjoyed the day, and then once we were done with lunch, everyone went to do their own things. Classes over Alchemy and Crafting resumed with Mist and Lara, where I taught them the ropes about how to use the basic spells for alchemy and also magic crafting.

Although they had yet to obtain any related skill as we had planned, they’ve been learning really fast. My mother was busy with her own things, so instead of asking her to teach them, I decided to take upon this responsibility myself.

Zack and Luck were then dragged to my room as well, and with Aquarina being a second teacher, we started to teach those two guys as well. Although they seemed curious at first, they clearly showed some deeper interest once they saw the spells formations and such.

It has been already three days, counting this day, since the classes began, they don’t last longer than two hours, and they always learn a bit more. I think we might continue them even as we return to Agartha.

Alice said that it might be possible for them to learn new skills, so we’ll keep doing our best to help them out get new skills!

And as for me, as the day slowly came to an end, I sneaked inside my Dungeon to check a few

Things.
