Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1416: New Plans And Dad's Idea



After Ruby got her own room and even her own personal, improved smithy, she finished emptying Glutton with her luggage and we helped her place everything around the room, so her room was not all neat and clean, and also added everything she wanted.

"My room back home was so small in comparison; it truly feels like my life's restarting now!" she was very happy. "And this bed! Phew... so soft. It's been two years since I've slept on a comfortable bed!"

"Glad you like the place!" said Celeste. "Now let's go eat already, I'm starving."

"Master went first, she's going to eat all the pizza, hurry!" Celica said.

"Yeah, let's go eat, Ruby!" I said.

"S-Sure!" she smiled.

Like that, we went to eat with the family. Ruby ended up eating only a single plate of stew and a pizza slice with some juice before saying she was completely full.

I don't know if I could believe her, but she did eat enough for a normal person I guess... but she's dwarf and Oni, don't they eat a lot even without cultivating?

Well, she doesn't look malnourished or something so... Uh, I guess it's fine. She'll get to eat more once she cultivates.

Once lunch was over, we gathered upstairs again, where Master Felicia personally came to check on Ruby again, dad came as well.

Basically, she told them more about her situation and everything, and they learned better about her childhood and what she had gone through.

"That's... so disheartening. I'm sorry to hear that, Ruby," sighed my father. "I know it'll never be the same as a real family but, I hope we can help you feel more welcomed here if possible! Also, there's no problem over your gender or something, you never looked like a boy to me anyways, haha."

"T-Thank you, that's very reassuring..." Ruby sighed in relief. "Master?"

"Hmm, I see, well, I already kind of knew that you were born a boy," she said. "Though, indeed, you are a girl."

"H-How did you knew? Was it my voice or..."

"None of that, my eyes are simply... strange," she said. "I can see through molecules. So I saw through your internal structure with just a glance. A weird thing I do sometimes. My apologies. Gender and sex are indeed rather apart from one another. I've met a couple of people like you, actually. Across time, most of them had already passed away after so many years though. There is simply a lot of people of all kinds all over the world, someone born with the soul of their opposite assigned gender is normal."

"Soul?" wondered Ruby.

"Yes, Souls are often what's attuned to our identity, your soul is clearly female," smiled Felicia. "Anyway! With that out of the way, let's talk about something else now."

"A-Ah, yes?" Ruby felt flustered when she was told her soul was that of a girl, she must have been really happy.

"Your growth from now on. I suppose you don't intend to remain weak forever, right?" she asked.

"Of course not! I just... haven't had the resources to become stronger," she said. "My Magic Circle grew so fast mostly due to my blessing passive effect. But my body is quite weak in comparison to yours."

"Indeed, yes," she nodded. "Therefore, I've prepared a training program for you! And the girls here will help you out, it'll also be part of their tests. The training program includes going to explore dungeons, hunt monsters, gather their materials and craft things with them. Drinking the elixirs that'll help your cultivation grow faster, at the same time as Sylphy's ability to boost the growth of others helps you out even more. Also, you'll be getting a Familiar. A Spirit would be better for the first one, a fire spirit!"

"O-Oh..."

We were a bit overwhelmed by all her plans honestly, I also had a few ideas I wanted to voice.

"Ruby has been neglecting her blessing abilities, so I first need to teach her how to use them," I said. "Is it possible to do this before the dungeon exploration test?"

"Worry not, you can do it before that," Felicia nodded. "Take this week to teach her... Also, don't forget the month's test too, have you made the stuff I asked you to?"

"W-We'll get it done right away!" I said desperately.

"Alright then," nodded master. "Ruby's test will also include using Alchemy a lot! For now, come with me, Ruby," said master. "You'll learn some Alchemy from me right away. Nothing too hard though, don't you worry."

"Right away?!" Ruby gasped.

"You don't want to? The girls need to do their own things so..." Felicia said.

"Ah! Then I'll go, yes, thank you," our new friend nodded. "See ya later girls!"

"Bye!"

We watched her walk downstairs towards master's lab, where she'll get all the alchemy ingrained into her brains by our slightly insane master.

I hope the best of lucks for her, you will need a lot of patience for her, Ruby...

"Well! I was thinking on helping Ruby get a Fire Spirit," said dad. "Usually I don't do this, but Ruby desperately needs one. I'll talk with Ifrit, the King of the Fire Spirits, and he'll send a little one here for her to take care of."

"Wow, that easy?!" I asked.

"Yeah! I mean, spirits benefit from having a capable master," said my father. "Ifrit is cunning though; he'll surely ask for some compensation... Maybe some of my lifespan or a piece of my soul, that damn bastard... But it's the fastest way to-"

"Wait! I think he might be interested in a meal, right? Bring him these," I gave dad large chunks of Fire Spirit Stones that grow in my dungeon. "Fire Spirits love these! Convince him

with food!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Oh?! Well, if you insist, hahaha!" father laughed, nodding.

Like that, dad opened a fiery portal and suddenly disappeared somewhere else.

I was a bit worried about whatever he was planning to do, but we didn't have the time to

worry.

It was time to do some synthesis and get this test done with!
