The next day, everyone could see that Anna was very excited. Anton’s father and Anna would go to the magic school followed by Zenoxus since Anders wanted to check the school if it was okay for Anna to stay in the dorms there then Anders would head directly to the store. Nemina and Lucas would be busy with the store as well.
Lunelle and Devon together with Ecturne would also start traveling that day in a caravan. Frederick was also heading out to check the magical items that he learned about through his connections that could record and show images.
Anton himself would be in his study learning under his tutor Mr. Tenor. The other tutor, Ms. Damby would remain in the mansion to rest and would wait for Anders’s decision regarding Anna’s stay in the school dorms.
Before Anton and Mr. Tenor started their lessons, the tutor asked him about how animation was made. Anna’s explanation was garbled and the old tutor was truly interested to find out about how animated films were made.
Anton was surprised to learn that his old tutor was an artist and actually specialized in exaggerated art forms like caricatures. Since Anton didn’t want to bother explaining how animation was made, he showed the old tutor a video clip from the most famous video streaming site on Earth of how the process of animation was created without using computers.
The video clip was only around eight minutes but his tutor was so intrigued that the old man requested to watch it again and Anton obliged the old man. After that, the tutor asked if he had any more videos regarding drawing so he showed another video clip of a guide on how to draw an animal using pen and ink. The video was around fifteen minutes long and he admitted to his tutor that it was only part one of a long series of tutorials on how to draw.
Anton was surprised to see that the old tutor ran towards his room to get pen and paper. For a moment, he was scared that the old man would fall and break his hips or something but he returned to the study none worse for wear. The tutor started copying the drawing technique in the video. Soon, almost a couple of hours passed, and Mr. Tenor noticed the time. The old tutor was incredibly embarrassed and kept apologizing to him. Of course, he told his teacher that it was okay and they spent the last hour of the three hours of study period with a general knowledge lesson.
After their tutoring session, Anton was highly amused to see his teacher running off to his room presumably to complete the drawing he started earlier.
In the meantime, Anton remained in his study to focus on leveling up his Druid Character. After several hours of just playing and not focusing on anything else like enchanting, using the internet, or even playing and practicing the guitar, he managed to complete three quests which were the Siege on Harrogath, The Rescue on Mount Arreat, and Prison of Ice.
After rescuing the NPC Anya, Anton decided to switch his druid build from the summoning build to the elemental wind build so he reset his skill points and assigned them by following the guide in the website Wowhead.com to the letter. After switching his build, he spent about an hour practicing his spells outside the Rogue Encampment. He knew that after practicing druid wind spells for hours, he would be able to utilize them in his item enchanting.

The druid wind spells like Twister, Tornado, and Hurricane would be particularly useful in creating wind-base enchanted items like electric fans but fueled by mana instead of electricity or clothing washer and dryer machines.
After his practice with the druid spells, he exited out of the game and went to the dining room to join his family for dinner. When he arrived there, his father, Anna, and the others were already there except for the ones who went outside the city to the North to purchase items.
“Brother I have a surprise for you!” Anna said.
Anton saw his sister holding a huge package wrapped in paper. It looked like some sort of painting.
He ignored the present first and asked Anna how was her first day of school.
Before Anna could answer, their food arrived from the kitchen so everyone started to eat. After a while, Anton’s sister answered him.
“It was good! I met a lot of people and most of them were my age! Unfortunately, when it comes to magic, I was just average. I thought that with my progress, I would be one of the advanced ones.”
“You don’t need to be too disappointed in yourself. You started learning magic very late and with the progress that you’ve made, you’re certainly well above average! If you had started at the same time as some of the nobles in school, you surely would have been higher level by now,” Ms. Damby said to her student.
“So, Father, are you going to let Anna stay in the school dormitory?” Anton asked and Anna looked at their father expectantly.
“I decided to allow her to stay there as long as she comes home every weekend.”
Anders then turned to his daughter and told her that she could start staying in the dormitory next week. Anna cheered and said that of course, she would go home since she wouldn’t miss the weekly mana water bathing.
Regarding that topic, Nemina informed them that the hot springs located at what was the mansion’s dungeon before would be completed by next week as well.
Frederick also reported that he purchased two of the three enchanted items that record and show images that he had found and Anton told everyone that he would check them out at a later time.
Regarding the treasure from the now-defunct Blood War gang, Ignomus, and Luminetta were still cataloguing everything.
After dinner, Anna excitedly presented the large gift that she had shown earlier to Anton. His sister told him that the gift was from her and their father and when Anton opened it, he was surprised to see that it was a painting of a wizard in the sky glowing brightly amongst the clouds and when he looked carefully, the wizard was him.
“Where did it come from?!” Anton asked while looking at the large portrait.
He was embarrassed to look at the painting since it looked idealized. The man in the painting looked extremely handsome like a young god, especially with the glowing auras surrounding the image.
“We bought it in the street! We passed by an artist and it was one of the largest ones. The image was just actually one of many and a lot of people were buying them, especially young women!” Anna said then she laughed and everyone joined her.
Anton was really embarrassed and left the painting there while saying that he would need to meditate.
The next day arrived and this time, Mr. Tenor made sure that the full three hours were him teaching Anton seriously. In the afternoon though, Anton was repairing and enchanting items since he announced that he would be repairing and enchanting every Tuesday and Thursday and this time he left the enchanted items in the warehouse as well to be brought to the store at a later time.
The rest of the time that day was him focusing on studying and memorizing the mana structures and mana pathways of the druid spells then practicing those spells in combat in some of the dungeons inside the game.
Anton reckoned that he could start creating enchanted items based on the druid spells starting next week.
