Chapter 121: Ch:121 Mana prism

Daniel narrowed his eyes, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

“I said hold it longer, not for some few seconds,” Marco replied evenly, his tone steady.

Belinda tilted her head as she stepped toward the wagon. “But I’ve worked with many thunder users. They all say the same thi—.”

“Are you a thunder user yourself?” Marco said cutting her off.

Belinda hummed softly, turning away without answering.

“But Master, I held it for so long, till I couldn’t control it from my hand,” Daniel said.

“It seems you’re not trusting the process. Everything takes time to perfect. Only those with extraordinary talent can master it on their first try,” Marco replied calmly.

At the sametime, Molex approached from behind.

“Master, for some reason I couldn’t produce an energy ball anymore. But why?” he said with a confused expression.

Molex extended his palm and began channeling, but only a few small sparks crackled.

Oh lord, how did I forget about the locket? Marco thought.

“Maybe because you’ve used all your mana,” he said.

“Students, the locket you all received from the box is to check your mana,” Marco announced loudly.

Daniel’s eyes widened as he immediately withdrew the locket from his pouch, having almost forgotten it was there all along.

He glanced at it and ran his fingers over the cylindrical gem, its base etched with a diamond pattern. It glowed blue, a little above halfway, indicating the amount of mana still left in his body.

“Far,” he whispered, his voice low.

’Haha, now he remembers the locket,’ Belinda murmured, a smile spreading across her face.

…

Hours later, the training session was over, but no one managed to perform the second form—except Bernard, who showed some signs of it.

With a crack of his neck, Daniel walked toward the marketplace, wearing a green tunic, cream-colored pants, wooden clogs, and a leather satchel slung over his right shoulder.

“Sir, is my money ready?” Daniel asked with a neutral expression.

Harry met his gaze, his expression flat as he set up the stall. “Yes, just a second.”

He pulled out a small pouch filled with coins and handed it to him.

*Clink-Clink*

In total, there were one hundred silver coins and ten gold coins inside.

“Pleasure doing business with you, sir,” Daniel replied, glancing at the coins without bothering to count them.

He shoved the pouch into his leather satchel and turned toward the bakery. Harry let out a sigh of relief as Daniel walked away.

For Daniel, stopping by the bakery for a meal had now become a common routine. Feeling generous, the owner even gave him free plain biscuits, as he had become one of his loyal customers.

Just as Daniel was chatting with the owner, Jessica stepped in, a woven basket dangling from her right arm. She recognized him from behind.

“Hey Daniel,” she said, her tone soft as she approached.

Daniel turned and glanced at her. She wore a flowing blue gown topped by a red surcoat that draped modestly over her full breasts.

Some men at nearby tables stared, eyes widening, as her plump ass swayed hypnotically — drawing every gaze without her noticing.

“Where have you been?” she asked with a neutral expression.

Daniel hesitated a moment, then replied, “I went home, Aunt.”

Jessica offered him a warm smile before turning her attention to the menu. Her eyes moved slowly over the list as she considered what to order.

“Umm… may I have a fine loaf of bread and ten plain biscuits?” she said.

The owner glanced up from the counter. “Dine in or pack?” he asked.

“Pack, please.”

The owner nodded with a gentle smile. “Sure, madam.”

They stood at the counter, chatting idly while waiting for their orders. When the food was finally ready, they paid and stepped outside.

Jessica walked ahead with the basket in hand as they stepped outside. Daniel followed a step behind, deliberately placing himself in the line of sight, blocking the lingering stares of the men inside the bakery who had been eyeing her shamelessly.

“Daniel, do you want to come shopping with your aunt?” she asked with a smile.

He nodded without hesitation. “Sure, Aunt.”

Jessica’s smile widened as she handed him the woven basket. Together, they set off toward the nearby grocery stall.

’Man… she always gives me her basket whenever I shop with her,’ he thought, his eyes dropping to her ass. ’She better pay me with her body or—”

“Status,” he murmured under his breath.

————————

————————

Huh? Outstanding? Daniel thought, rubbing his eyes again before the screen faded.

He checked once more for clarity, and to his surprise, it truly read [outstanding].

“How much is the cabbage?” Jessica asked, pointing at the vegetables.

“Half a silver a kilo, madam,” the merchant replied.

’But how? How did her quality change while I was gone?’ he thought, his eyes locked on her warm smile. ’Does that mean if I keep banging them, they’ll randomly upgrade… or is there something else?’

Daniel’s thought raced as he followed her through the market. Yet there was no mistake, her quality had changed while he was in the village. It wasn’t random, but tied to the price, the effort he had poured into her.

As they walked through the market, Jessica led the way toward the meat stalls while Daniel followed calmly behind. Just then, her eyes fell upon a familiar face.

“Oh, Gary, how’ve you been?” Jessica asked warmly.

Gary turned toward her with a grin. “I’m great. What about you, Jessica?”
