First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Spirit Arts

Orion laughed softly, his gaze affectionate as he observed the two girls. "Ah, well, I was so engrossed in my reading that time simply slipped away."

Fiora fidgeted with her fingers, her voice held a hint of concern, "Y-Young Master, you should take p-proper rest. I-It’s not good for your body."

Orion chuckled, rising from his chair and stretching again comfortably. "Thank you for your concern, Fiora. But don’t worry, I can go without sleep for a couple of days easily. However, a refreshing bath right now sounds perfect."

Both girls exchanged a brief glance, smiles forming subtly on their faces.

"Of course, Young Master," Rina agreed softly, stepping closer with Fiora. "We’ve already prepared the bath. Please come with us."

Following the two girls toward the bathroom, he took a long and peaceful bath.

After bathing, Orion dressed casually and made his way to the dining hall, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Eldric and Selene were already waiting, both turning their heads slightly as Orion entered, their expressions warm and welcoming.

"Ah, lad," Eldric greeted gently, eyes twinkling slightly with affection, "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

Orion smiled faintly, taking his seat comfortably at the grand dining table. "Yes, I slept quite well."

Selene gently nodded her head, "That’s good, you have been training very intensely for the past week. You should take proper rest now."

[Grandma, he didn’t sleep at all!!! (ﾉ｀□´)ﾉ⌒┻━┻]

Lumi seemed as if ready to jump on the table and point her finger at Orion while snitching to Selene.

Orion chuckled softly, ignoring Lumi. "I know Grandma. In fact, there is something that I want to discuss with you."

Eldric set down his utensils, leaning forward slightly, his expression curious. "Oh? What’s on your mind?"

Orion exhaled softly, gathering his thoughts clearly. "I’m planning to take a few days off from the academy again. Currently, nothing interesting is happening there. My club members are busy training as well. And I’d prefer to spend this time mastering the side professions that I talked with Grandma about before."

Eldric stroked his beard thoughtfully, eyes shining with approval. "Hmm, not a bad choice, lad. You’ve already done enough by climbing that damn tower and also learning Sword Auras inside of it. It isn’t a bad idea to take a few days’ break and try your hand at a side profession to see if any of it suits you."

Selene nodded warmly, clearly supportive. "Indeed, my dear. You have already laid such a strong foundation in combat and elemental mastery. A few days to cultivate knowledge in side professions would benefit you greatly."

Orion smiled, his gaze filling with appreciation. "Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma. I’ll try to read the Alchemy book next."

After finishing breakfast amidst pleasant conversation, Orion excused himself politely, swiftly returning to his room where he retrieved the Alchemy book.

The thick tome was beautifully bound in rich emerald-colored leather, and the gold lettering shimmered faintly, reading clearly: <Fundamentals of Alchemy: Principles & Techniques>.

Settling comfortably in his chair once more, Orion eagerly opened the book, immersing himself instantly in the captivating world of Alchemy.

The pages held detailed explanations of alchemical tools, material properties, refining techniques, and potion brewing procedures, as well as details regarding herbs, where they grow, how to grow them, among other details.

Every sentence fascinated Orion, driving him to read with deep concentration, absorbing every detail meticulously.

Time flowed steadily as Orion focused solely on the text. Lunchtime came and passed unnoticed, his intense dedication causing him to skip it entirely.

Even the routine training session with Edgar and Lucan slipped from his mind, his entire focus dedicated to thoroughly comprehending the intricate knowledge within the alchemical tome.

Before long, gentle knocking sounded softly at his door once again, snapping Orion from his deep immersion.

Fiora’s voice came gently through the door, carrying a mild note of concern. "Y-Young Master, it’s time for dinner. Are you o-okay?"
