Hina’s feet are strangled onto mine. She’s hugging me, Asterl, a seven-year-old guy in the bed at night. I can feel her two small chest press onto mine. Let’s recall how this happened.

The night after Asterl was rescued, his Father, Astroles, asked Hina to stay at their house in order to express his gratitude saving his son. Hina agreed to Asterl’s father but told him that she can only stay for the rest of the night since she is travelling to gain experience. Asterl’s father seemed a bit sad and asked Asterl first to go and wash his body.

“That boy Asterl, he doesn’t have a mother, you see. She died while giving birth to him. Asterl grew up without a mother, only relying on his maid, Lyralei, until he became like that. Not long ago, he got caught in an incident. On their way to the church to have his mana awakening, their carriage got attacked by a group of bandits. He was badly injured, luckily he survived but his butler that I assigned sacrificed himself in order to save my son. After that, we tried many medicine in order to heal him, but unknowingly, a healer said his mana suddenly can’t be activated. I didn’t tell him but I guess he found out, that’s why he ran.”

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Hina got speechless, at the same time she was sad to know the story of Asterl.

“Don’t be sad mister. I know Asterl is a strong boy, I have a feeling he will be a good figure when he grows up.”

After Hina explained everything happened at the forest, they had a feast and got to bed along with Asterl.

Asterl sighs.

“Many things happened already, huh…I got hit by a lightning, woke up with Hina and then, right! The system!”

Asterl summoned the system and inspected what does the system do. He saw a ‘sealed’ word next at his MP.

“Sealed? So that’s the reason why I can’t activate my mana. I wonder how did this happened.”

A window popped up at the left side of the system panel stating that his mana is sealed because the mana will burst throughout him and make his body explode. Another panel showed, suggesting to unseal it bit by bit in order to have control of the mana.

Asterl seemed baffled about his mana being sealed but he doesn’t care that much, what Asterl care about is how to unseal his mana.
