The next day, in the morning, I had breakfast with my wife and we talked about our yesterday, how it was and how we felt.

"Good morning, Nordya, I love to see you today, so lovely." I greeted her for the morning, that the dawn was just shining through the horizon.

"Good morning, hubby, I am just finishing breakfast now and after I am done we can just go and eat." she said.

I went behind her and hugged her while she was making our food.

"I love you the most, Nordya" I said while I hugged her.

"I love you too, but the food is going to burn like this" she said while giving me a kiss and shooing me away from the kitchen.

I waited while playing with Cloud, Onyx and Vent, since they needed some attention, before we had our breakfast, they seem a little bigger than before. Although they still looked like husky breed puppies from the other world.

We played fetch and tug of war with some branches from the timber I felled which they brought from field.

After half an hour of playing with these little fellas the breakfast was ready, they stopped hitting me with the tip of the branches taunting me to take it from them and they kept enough distance from me reaching them, these rascals, and went towards the table to beg for some food from us.

I sat down and there was some toast with some butter on it, a brownish hot liquid and an orange colored fruit.

I bit off a little of the toast which was very salty and tasty, it had a crunchy outer layer while the inside was extremely soft, so tasty.

I also drank the liquid which tasted as coffee au lait, it was mildly bitter, also really like it, just as before, but I just wish I had a little bit of sugar to use at these times.

As I moved to the dessert I peel of the skin from the fruit, it has a sweet and citric smell which is intensified as I peel it. A take a good bite of the inner part of the fruit which made me choke and feel a taste that my soul still really hated, I load of gastric juices come back to my mouth, making me feel really nauseated by it. It tasted like orange, my only weakness!

My face went from rosy to pale, I swallowed the bile back inside since I shall never waste any of my wife delicious cooking! Never! But I couldn't eat this fruit anymore, so I drank a little bit more of coffee au lait to wash the acrid taste of bile from my mouth, it really made me sick, tasting it after all this time, making me even forget about this.

"Hum... Honey... I don't feel good..." I said towards her "It tastes just like oranges".

"Oh my Gods, I am so sorry, I didn't knew it would taste like this" My cute wife screamed worried about me.

I had really upset my stomach this time, it was ten times worse than when I accidentally had it on the other world, it made me feel like I was sick so I had to convey it to the teachers.

"Honey, I think I will stay at home for the morning at least, if I get back to my feet I will look for you." I said trying to find a comfortable place in the chair in the kitchen "Could warn Grandpa and Ti'oh for me?"

"Okay, honey, you are looking really pale, you know? Just go lay down on the bed a little okay? It should make you feel better soon" said my amazingly cute wife, she makes me feel better already.

But my stomach brought me back to reality, I think I should just lay down, but first let's give my goodbye for my Nor so she can work hard.

"Good luck, honey! Hope you have fun!" I said while resting my head on the table looking sideways towards the door with a horrible face trying to smile.

"Thanks, but go to bed already!" she said while leaving with Cloud and Vent on her heels, I was sure she would spend a good time tailoring and tanning, while Mr. Guido complained about making the gambeson armor and attaching the furs to it, later playing with those two rascals as a break. It certainly brings a smile to your face.

After she left and closed the door behind her I got up and went towards the bed and Onyx kept close company.

I lay down a little bit on the bed to rest and the little rascal went and rested a top of the furs on the edge of our bed and stayed there like a little furball, it was so cute.

I tried to close my eyes and take a nap while laying down on the bed...

After something like half an hour, I still felt so bad that I went and did something else, since I couldn't sleep, so I tried using Examination on myself to upgrade it to a higher level, since I would be here for a while longer.

It kept giving the diagnosis feedback of mild discomfort and upset stomach. But I kept using it on me, see if there was any changes.

After two hours of the same diagnosis, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in..." I say still feeling bad, but better than in the beginning.

"Hi, honey, I brought Elder Kavko with me to see if there is anything to make you feel better that she could do." Nordya said with a small smile.

"Hello, sweetie, did you upset your stomach?" she asked.

"Yes, I still feel a little unwell..." I said and when I looked at them there was some line pointing out from them two, which indicated healthy, than it went away, I think it is automatic now, the Examination Skill of Trade? "I kept using Examination to find if it would give me more information, but nothing of different."

"Well, it would only give you feedback of what your brain has stored as knowledge, it is not a Great Sage Skill, it just is fast way to give diagnosis from what is know of the situation and your inherent knowledge." Elder Kavko explain to me "Still is an amazing skill to have, since it can't give false information, but it can give no feedback at all, at later stages it gives a full examination of the patient just by staring at them."

Elder Kavko then looked at me, at my face and listened to stomach, with what looked like a stethoscope.

"Yup, you need to rest a bit, your body is reacting as if you got intolerance towards this fruit, so don't eat it anymore." she warned me.

Nordya brought some baked cookies and some yellow juice for us as snacks.

I ate some cookies and felt full, probably my stomach was full of gas, making me feel quite awful if I tried to eat some more.

They went back to their work and I stayed at home with Onyx, since I needed rest and wasn't sleepy I kept stroking her fluffy fur, it was so soft, especially close to the neck, it seemed as if this was the place with the most sense amount of fluffiness, this is bliss...

But I didn't want to just stay like this so I tried to move the Ki around my body to make it better.

First, I tried to meditate and feel Ki moving as if I am using the Ki Tempering Method,of course not letting go of my cute puppy still stroking her, after half an hour of trying I couldn't do it, it seems without at least some small movement of the body there was no way to use it, unless someone teaches me how to do it. I could only feel the Earthen Flame close to my heart and that was it. I feel like I am forgetting another thing I used recently...

Hm... Oh, that is it, Mana! I remember using it on a spell, so I looked towards the same feeling I got when using that spell and found a small sparkle inside when I try to make it move I feel a dusty Mana, fiery Mana and cold Mana residing close to my heart, even feeling the pact magical energy more easily now.

That energy made feel so joyful, it was really weird, but I couldn't complain about it, since it came from inside.

I tried to use it with Eruption technique, but nothing happened, so I don't think this the way to imbue things with Mana. Then I tried to make it flow on my body, all three of them, it went without any problem, when the cold Mana and fiery Mana went together, I could still feel both of them moving inside my body giving me strength anywhere it went.

The Mana flow first was slow, almost like a slug moving, but after some time it moved faster and faster on my blood stream. I was feeling refreshed, but still feeling bad, but I could keep going, despite the discomfort and pain from this annoying intolerance to oranges I acquired.

It was easy to keep moving Mana and I could do it easily for some reason, I tried to see if I could use the Mana from outside to fill me up, but I couldn't, I was full, so I thought if I could put the Mana inside this fluffy Onyx and see if it made her feel better.

I moved my Mana inside the the Contract Spell Circle and only the cold Mana wasn't able to go inside, I sent an amazing amount of fiery and dusty Mana inside the Spell Magic Circle, it was a big amount.

Suddenly, I felt all kinds of dark thoughts surfacing deep in my mind. I felt anxious, sad, depressed, jealous, even suicidal thoughts came surfacing.

This is bad. Really, really bad...

I tried to make the Mana in the ambient flow through me, filling my body with Mana again and with that those horrible things I was thinking went away and disappeared altogether, which made me feel relieved.

If you have to use Mana in your body the best way to do so by moving it around while absorbing it from the outside at the same time you consume it, so you don't have any kind of repercussions.

After this big scare, I tried to pat Onyx to calm down a little and I felt that my motor system was having some problems responding to my wish to move my arms and pet my little puppy.

So Mana control also exhausted my brain power or at least my nerves in some kind of bizarre way.

I think it is best to just lay down and stop doing stupid stuff again without anyone to look after me.

So I spend the rest of the day just lazily drinking juices and eating the snacks my wife would bring, also talk to some people who came down with her, I was feeling really better by the end of the day, I hope to be able to work all day tomorrow to make up for today!
