# Chapter 48: 48
Radis continued reading his letter.
[There are several training methods to purify and enrich yang, although I think it is too early for you to know about them.
But my beautiful disciple, to satisfy your curiosity about that which shines like the brightest star in the night sky, I will tell you that the basis of mana training is to treat it with delicacy.
The fact that I can't express all this in writing also gives me a sweet feeling of defeat. ]
Oh, oh! Oh!
At the tip of Radis's right index finger, a red, flame-like ball of mana fluttered and made a rippling sound. And at that, Radis responded internally to the letter: "It is more than enough, master."
[And about what you asked, about the relationship between a magic stone obtained from monsters and purified mana.
I didn't know you had such a strange side.
You are a nice girl. ]
—So the professor doesn't know.
The letter fluttered in Radis's hand and she turned the paper over.
[I wanted to leave for the south so that I could meet you once again, however, there is something urgent that I need to do first because it has already been a long time since the deadline I promised my boss passed.
But my prettiest, most charming, most adorable disciple, I am ready to help you at any time, whenever you need me.
If you need my help, send me a letter at any time.
Don't be too impatient for the day we meet again. ]
Radis carefully folded Armano's letter.
—Mmm…
Then he took a spoon that was on the table.
Whoa! A conjured flame enveloped the spoon.
He directed his attention to his fingertips.
She already knew how to handle mana.
In her previous life, she had already created a mana core and had learned how to use mana by practicing on her own.
Mana had no shape or form, but depending on how you wielded it, it became a more threatening weapon than any other.
His mana back then was a very sharp sword.
It was a weapon that she used to fight against everything that came at her.
She used her mana endlessly and honed it enough that it became sharper than anything else.
-Hmm.
Radis lowered his chin as flame-shaped mana enveloped the entire spoon, seeming as if the two substances were merging.
She wasn't satisfied with that, but even with just that spoon, she could reach the center of Monsterwood.
—First of all, I think the amount of mana I have is quite considerable. It wasn't that I was lacking mana that night, but that my body couldn't keep up.
Radis gathered his mana.
Then the spoon, which could not withstand the pressure of the manna, broke and split in two vertically.
—Aaaaaa!
Lifting the spoon that was broken in two vertically, Radis was surprised to feel sweat running down his body.
She simply used what she had conjured, but she didn't think that would actually happen.
—This could be expensive… no, it shouldn't be, right?
Radis had no choice but to sweep it under the rug.
—I'll throw it away later when I leave.
Radis picked up the teacup and drank the remaining tea, looking at the clock.
The time for his meeting with the Marquis Russell was approaching.
His expression turned a little darker.
───── •????️• ─────
—Radis…!
Yves Russell's neck was red and his breathing was harsh.
—Why are you so stubborn? Don't you know how important this is?
At Yves' words, Radis blushed and avoided his gaze.
—Yes, I don't know. I have no idea why His Excellency is so obsessed with this. Is it really that important?
No one saw it, but Yves Russell's brow wrinkled, but then smoothed out again.
"Just hold on this time."
—…he said that the last time, but this is the second time.
Yves Russell's body shuddered at the sound of Radis' moan.
In the end, since he had become so impatient, he took it upon himself to undo the first button on his shirt.
With a domineering tone disguised as politeness, he whispered softly.
—Radis, don't you have to pay for your meals?
