Surprising Changes

It's been a week, and today is my and Eve's last day home.

My sister and father investigated me repeatedly after I returned home that day about leaving halfway through a large crowd.

That was a very uneasy feeling back then, and it's no longer even my concern. I have no idea what happened to me in the first place.

Then, my daily life had turned very repetitive. The blacksmithing workshop guys delivered my second pistol, which they wanted to do on their own and give me as a memorable gift for teaching them some sleek methods for refining various materials with mana.

Practically, the Pistol was the same as my first one, which I myself manufactured along with the blacksmiths and workers aside from the assembling methods.

However, my first pistol, which I invented with them, had Fire and Light mana essence filled Iron cores. This Pistol, on the other hand, is refined with Lightning and Dark mana essence filled Iron cores.

Thanks to my adventuring over the last four years, I was able to obtain the Dark Iron core from an A-ranked dungeon, among other things, and it is used here for this...it truly makes my efforts worthwhile.

I was able to condense mana inside the Six magazine slots after assembling and storing my mana. However, it appears that I can release specific types of attacks with condensed mana as a result of refining with Drack Iron core. It's fantastic.

The Pistol became one with my mana flow as I could see the front sight and the nuzzle glowing in a purple glow, effectively gleaming in the dark refined pistol, after unlocking all the airgaps and clearing the path. The lightning refined iron cores were also activated as the Hammer and Takedown leaver crackled when it was ready to powerup. It wasn't a fault but was a signal that the gun had powered up and read to initiate.

I have to say that I'm proud of myself for coming up with this design and planning the things I'd understand. After all, what is the best way to combine magic and audacious technology? Right now, I'm practically inventing my own legends.

Like my other pistol, it is 35 cm long, has a six-shot reloading magazine, and is made of a high-quality composite alloy of lightning-refined iron core and dark-refined iron core. It possesses the firepower of condensed mana bullets. I am still unsure how to use them effectively as I didn't test them still.

And aside from that, Uncle Bulat also gave me a surprise gift along with the pistols. Which was the thing I just mentioned to him with a classic designing that I did at the workshop. It was just a spark of creativity but I never thought uncle would really make that for me. It was Sleeve darts.

You heard it right! Its really sleeve darts.

The plan I made as the name implies remains hidden by the sleeve. It only requires using a switch and three darts inside will shoot according to your control. It can fire one dart, and also can fire all three at once. Because the noise of launching is very small, it's not easy for the opponent to detect.

Each dart is made of steel and is three cm long, and if my designs are correct, the range of shooting will be at least thirty meters.

I exposed this Sleeve dart's methods of creation and assembling to Uncle Bulat as a compensation for making my pistols. Of course I never exposed the secrets of assembling and activating the Pistols hehe.

After that, there was another two of surprises waiting for me.

The first one is.

Evana got a hair cut from my sister which totally makes her look an idol from my old world. Sure I knew Evana is a beautiful girl with her long silver hair, but....I never thought she would look so cute with her Bob cut.

Sighs. I was completely taken aback.

But the list didn't end there. If Eve's style wasn't enough, my buddy Jin turned out to be an adorable little dragon!!!

It happened two days ago while I was lying in bed and noticed something on my face. Sure I knew it was Jin as he likes to do that often when I'm sleeping.

However, when I opened my clear black eyes and saw clearly, I saw a white kitten with golden skin gleaming in the same multicolored flares. Raising my torso quickly with confusion, "Brother! How do I look!" In our telepathy, Jin asked me in a little child's adorable voice.

Jin had practically evolved like a white kitten with golden skin gleam that shone in the same multicolored flares. The sclera, which is normally white in human eyes, is black. His pupils are sharp slits that would normally make him appear menacing, but with the body of a small feline animal, he looks adorable.

The most distinguishing feature is a pair of small horns that curve outward around his head before sharpening into a point in front. It is when I realized that Jin was a Dragon all along.

I asked him about who he became like this from a serpent form. He replied that he continued his cultivation by absorbing my mana greatly. The form Jin was evolved to was really astonishing for me as I read about Dragons in this world have become extinct. Come to think of it, this makes total sense for what Hama said to me inside the Holy Tree. Even if that's clear I still have many questions about my beast partner, and why my real mother was protecting Jin when he was inside the Lifeful ring? and from whom she was protecting it?...

Well, without any answers, I chose to wait for the time being and started to think about Jin. He practically he looks like an animal evolved from serpent, and without any wing like things around he just looked like a cat, but the horns gives out the answers as he is a dragon. So, I was concerned about him being exposed like this, when Jin had an ability to disguise himself with mana.

With that, seeing my concerned look, Jin disguised him self as a small white fox with two fluffy tails and a pair of small horns. With a silver furred body that shines gold. Jin's baby dragon form is no longer the Tiny and Adorable shape he was in; he now resembles a Tiny Silver Fox with a golden gleam.

As long as he is safe with me, its enough for me.

With that, Eve and I quickly returned to training, and while her Light magic abilities had grown in power, he had grown in control of his mana manipulation. She still had a lot to learn before she could catch up to me, but we both had time. Jin was also proving his ability to breathe fire and act swiftly with mana manipulations. I wonder how much stronger he will be in his true.. I mean a real big dragon form with wings and sorts.

My training was progressing steadily. I was training mainly on my earth and water attribute mana, which probably accounted for 20% of my total power, but that didn't mean I was going to hide myself at school. Why not reap the benefits of being a handsome and prodigal student with many secrets? I had a family to make proud, didn't I?

Evana was much more excited about going to school than I was, about how much fun it would be.

My father already broke through his Solid white stage and with my help, my mother broke through Solid white stage as well.

My sister left the house again a few days ago because she had some business to attend to, but she did promise me and Eve that we would see each other soon. It was strange, but she is my sister after all, I can't really blame for giving me surprisement.

My life could not be more fulfilling. Seeing how peaceful and happy my family and Evana were, I would give my life to make sure it lasted as long as possible.

My free time will come to an end tomorrow, which is also the day Evana and I will begin our first day at Atlas Academy.
