Devoured Eccentric - 48 Famous

While in awe, Nero had taken in everything Micheal had said. He was sure Micheal was far more mature than others his age as well as sociable and entertaining. Michael on the other hand usually smiled and nodded, more of a shy nature person.

While this had happened, the two girls had also run off to tell all their friends of their new discovery.

Micheal once again continued with his info dump. He explained how mana with different intents acted differently and thus, concluding with drawbacks and advantages that came along with different intent.

Volatile intents like the Intent to Damage was useful for forming attacks, but not as effective when defending. Forming a defensive with the Intent to Pacify would yield a greater result but would itself be slower as a projectile attack.

Nero gained much from this yet questions once again arose in his mind, what kind of things would mana with the intent to Dominate bring? Should expose such a secret now that he realised it would greatly differ him from the other magicians, he didn’t need to set himself out any more than he already did so he chose to keep it a secret.

Putting up a facade, Nero claimed he used the intent to Fortify which explained to Micheal why the coin that Nero had conjured was so solid well-put, unlike most other beginners who could only bring forth mana as an uncontrolled mess of a haze.

The two continued to chat about various magical subjects and topics, even continuing through the evening meal.

The meal Nero had consisted of Slow-cooked Rank 2 Beast Meat complimented with smooth gravy made from crushed Beast Bones. The dessert was chocolate cake, Nero praised how well it was made considering this was a moving Blimp which couldn’t have facilities at the same level as down to ground kitchens.

Nero expected the food to taste like aeroplane food, what was the deal with aeroplane food on Earth? He had once pondered. Thus, his low expectations had been absolutely demolished by the smooth texture and the gooey insides of the cake. The taste was quite possibly the best he’d had since he found himself on Rosaria.

At 8:30 in the evening, Nero said his goodbyes to the duo and went back to his cabin. Now that Nero had to conceal himself, his training was limited. A Slayer’s mana sensitivity was countless times better than a Hunter’s, Captain Killian would any day feel Adept Mana conjuring near him, so the usual practice was out of the question.

Something like brain cultivation was only effective to Nero when done with Adept Mana, he had already thoroughly fortified the foundation with Basic mana. If Nero were to produce any kind of Adept mana, he would notify the Captain.

Him being a Slayer was a secret nobody could know. Not a soul.

With such a great restriction on him, Nero could only look at the smaller things, for example, consuming more Beast Meat, improving on split mana control, just improving command control of mana overall because its difficulty was incredibly high, even for Nero, and much more.

These were things that Nero thought of improving over time with a small amount of practice every day, but since the situation forced him, he could only put more time into these skills.

There were some things that were bothering Nero for a while, one being the minute deformity that was being created inside Dan, like a small pimple growing out from where the Dan is connected via a thick nerve.

Nova had already deduced that the small deformity was natural and the genal code was made this way, however, it was quite odd. Nero had gained this extremely minute feeling that he could observe only after being amplified by Nova. The feeling arose from his Dan but was different from the region of the Dan where mana was refined. It came from the small deformity.

Talking about growth, Nero’s growth in terms of his physical body was never seen before. He was growing too fast! Ever since he started binging on Beast Meat, Nero’s growth rate had spiked and stayed there. When he became conscious in the world, he was only around 3 and a half feet tall, but now?

After a year, he had become 4 feet 2 inches. This was when he didn’t have a growth spurt, he naturally grew 8 inches.

For a child like Nero, being 4 foot is like being a monster compared to the others, it wasn’t normal for sure. Nova also conducted some experiments and found that Nero was actually growing at a faster rate, his body was maturing faster, currently, he has the body of what should be a 9-year-old version of him.

Nova’s hypothesis was that because Nero’s cell decay rate had been decayed, his body had started throw away completely healthy cells away so that there would be the utilisation of the massive amounts of protein Nero consumed, or in other words, the beast meat.

The result was that Nero’s natural lifespan, which was estimated to be around 150, would stay, however, his body would mature to its peak state at a faster rate.

‘That’ll be extremely useful for my future plans, I’ll gain way more physical strength in a shorter period of time and my body will have an easier time to refine more mana, currently, my rate of refining mana is not even 40% as high as other normal Mages because my body is too malleable.’

This situation was indeed favourable for Nero, he wasn’t actually 7 and he would faster reach the same state of the body he previously had on Earth, only with the difference of looks.

By the next day, Nero’s fame had already exploded enough for even the blimp crew to look at him in awe and respect, everyone was both shook and inwardly jealous at the future prospects of this grace.

Everybody wanted to be on Nero’s good side, people had even started targeting the Mike duo, all because they had approached Nero before and had gained the upper hand in receiving benefits in the future.

After waking up and doing the usual, without the use of high-level mana now, Nero was taken away by a crew staff to the Captain.

In the Captain’s office, Killian was eagerly waiting to evaluate Nero’s knowledge on topic of mana and magic. The only way Nero’s value was going to go now was up!
