First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System-Chapter 41: Grandparents Reaction

He asked in a low yet murderous voice, ready to kill whoever injured his dear grandson. Selene also stood up and hurriedly walked toward him.

Orion’s eyes twitched; he didn’t expect his reaction would be so intense, yet this scene also warmed his heart.

He gently gestured for both of them to calm down, "It’s nothing serious, Grandpa, Grandma."

Selene stood in front of him and looked at him deeply; shining runes flashed in her eyes as she saw through his injuries. freewebnoveℓ.com

"How?? All of your mana channels are damaged," she muttered in shock, placing her hand on his chest. "...Did you try to form an Awakening Rune?" Selene looked at him sternly and asked.

Orion rubbed the back of his head with slight embarrassment and nodded, "Yes, I was curious how it would go, and since I read that the backlash for forming the first rune isn’t that hard, I tried my hand at it. Who knew this would happen..."

Eldric heaved a sigh, "Haa... you are too reckless; you should have asked one of us first about it."

He moved closer and inspected his body. "Haa... you are really injured, but your body seems unnaturally strong for someone at the Awakening Stage. But anyway, take this." He took out a bottle filled with a thick liquid.

Orion’s eyes flashed as he used his Eye of Revelation ability on the bottle.

[Ding!]

[Item Detected: Liquid Vi%#is (???)] [Description: A rare alchemical potion capable of healing internal injuries and regenerating damaged mana channels.]

[Further Details: Insufficient Level. Unlock more seals of the Eye of Revelation for additional information.]

’Damn, this shit is actually working. Though some information is missing, it’s still good.’ He inwardly heaved a sigh after finally being able to use this particular ability. The last time he had tried, he was immeasurably disappointed in it.

He quietly remembered the limited details provided by the Eye of Revelation. ’Looks like I need to unseal it more if I want to use it more.’

"Thank you, Grandpa. But what is it?" Orion carefully took the bottle and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just something I got from a friend for healing injuries. Quickly drink it up." Eldric shook his head and gestured for him to drink it quickly.

Orion lightly smiled, fully understanding that a treasure of this level would be highly protected even in the top noble houses, yet Eldric gave it to him like nothing. This warmed his heart if nothing else.

He carefully uncorked the bottle and swiftly drank down the thick, slightly sweet liquid.

Almost instantly, a warm sensation spread from his core, moving throughout his body. Orion’s eyes widened in amazement as he felt his damaged mana channels rapidly repairing themselves in real‑time.

The intense, prickling pain gradually subsided, replaced by a gentle warmth soothing every inch of his being.

"This... is amazing," he whispered softly, clearly surprised by the potion’s immediate effects. He expected the liquid to work slowly; after all, damaged mana channels were no small thing. But it looks like he underestimated the effects of an Exalted‑grade treasure.

Eldric chuckled lightly, shaking his head with gentle amusement. "It’s good stuff indeed, lad, but don’t get too excited. The rapid healing will slow down soon."

As if on cue, the healing sensation began to wane, slowly reducing in intensity until it settled into a faint, soothing warmth. Orion frowned slightly, noticing the healing had become significantly slower.

Eldric placed a reassuring hand on Orion’s shoulder and patted lightly. "Your mana channels aren’t ordinary injuries. They’re extremely delicate and intricate, so the potion’s initial burst of healing was only there to stabilize your injuries. Now it will slowly heal over time. Complete recovery requires time and careful rest."

Selene nodded in agreement, her gaze softening. "Your grandpa is right. Mana channels carry the lifeblood of a mage’s power. Even slight damage can affect your foundation. For now, avoid strenuous training and give your body ample time to recuperate."

Orion sighed softly, understanding their advice clearly. "I’ll be more careful next time."

Eldric smiled and patted his back lightly, returning to his seat. "That’s all we ask. Mistakes like this are part of the learning journey."

Selene also relaxed, returning to her chair as the tension in the room gradually dispersed.

"All right then," Eldric’s voice became soft again as he gestured toward the deliciously arranged food on the table, "let’s eat. You’ll need plenty of nutrients to speed up your recovery."

Orion chuckled and nodded, feeling the familial warmth radiating from both of them. "Yes, Grandpa."

He went ahead and took his seat. Selene started feeding him like usual by putting food on his plate.

"Orion, you’re not allowed to scare me like that again," she said sternly after everyone had calmed down. Eldric nodded his head alongside, clearly agreeing with her.

Orion wryly smiled and nodded, "Don’t worry, Grandma, I won’t do something so reckless again."

’Looks like I can only rest and read books in the following days,’ he quietly thought to himself while eating.

On the other hand, Rina and Fiora heaved a sigh after seeing that Eldric and Selene weren’t angry at Orion.

...

The following days passed by quietly, each moment feeling lively and memorable. Orion took Eldric and Selene’s advice seriously, spending his time quietly recovering.

Though the speed of healing had slowed down considerably, each day he felt progressively better and more at ease.

Without the ability to train his mana, Orion focused on something else to pass his time. He decided to spend more time with Rina and Fiora, making even their days better as he felt his life slowly filling with colors.

"Master, are you sure this is what you want to eat? Fiora made it for the first time, you know?" Rina quietly asked, looking embarrassed at the cookies Fiora had made for Orion.

They were half‑burnt and half‑cooked, barely edible. Fiora was about to throw them away, but Rina brought them to Orion to show them.

At first, she thought they could have a little laugh about it, but everything went in a different direction than what she had expected.

Fiora stood to one side, her fingers fidgeting in nervousness as she looked at Rina with an accusing gaze; if one’s gaze could kill, then Rina would probably be six feet under the ground.

"Of course I want to eat them," Orion said calmly. "Fiora put so much effort into making them; how can I let it go to waste?"

"B‑b‑but th‑they aren’t e‑even m‑made pro‑perly." Fiora stuttered even more than usual, clearly showing how nervous and scared she was.

Orion shook his head with a smile and picked up a cookie. It was neither cooked properly nor was its shape good, but he could see that Fiora had put much effort into making it, so he didn’t want to disappoint her, lest she stop trying at all.

[Hehe, Master, are you sure about this? You might get mental poisoning from them. (≖‿≖)]

’Heh, stop kidding me. A cookie can give poisoning to a fucking True Dragon? My race would have gone extinct if that were the case.’ He inwardly chuckled and brought the cookie closer to his mouth.

He smelled the slightly burnt aroma that wafted toward him; his eyes twitched slightly, but he still ate it.
