Achoo–!

Achoo–!

Sophia sneezed repeatedly without a pause, which caused her eyes to be brimming with tears.

It was over a minute later when she finally stopped sneezing.

"Are, are you okay?"

"Khhh—"

Sophia nodded her head and wiped the corners of her mouth, her face was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Drinking water too quickly isn't good for you."

"You think it was because of that, huh?"

Squish–

Sophia tugged at my cheek, but strangely, perhaps due to respect to her old age, I didn't mind.

"Then what is it?"

"It's because of the pond water. Who in the world drinks pond water?"

She looked at me as if I lacked basic common sense.

As someone who heard that the pond water was extremely clean, I felt unfairly judged.

"I heard this pond water is clean enough to drink."

"And so, did the guild people tell you to drink from the pond?"

"No, no, they did say to fetch water from the guild building but..."

Though I had permission, the thought of entering that fearsome space on my own was out of the question.

People apologized, saying they were sorry, but I still couldn't fully trust them.

"It seems I need to start by teaching you some basic common sense."

"Oh..."

Being treated as someone lacking in common sense was frustrating, but I couldn't argue since it wasn't entirely false.

I have been in this world for nearly eight years, but I didn't even know about the existence of 'beast-kin'.

"Let's start with teaching you the important elements of mana and its attributes. Follow along closely."

"Yes..."

Well, whatever, learning the common knowledge of this world wouldn't hurt.

I planned to study hard to at least reach the level of an average person.

Thud–! Thud–!

I dug into the grassy patch next to the tent with an expensive planting spade that I had bought for five thousand won from a nearby general store.

"So, you mean, I'll start to feel mana instinctively?"

"Exactly. You'll come to know it as naturally as breathing."

"I see...."

Maybe the reason time seemed to slow down in urgent situations was because I used mana instinctively.
