Chapter 27

You have drunk a Magic-infused tea.
Effect: +20% MP, +50% MP regen, all Spells will be 10% more powerful

" It seems like you can absorb the full potential of my tea." The AO said while smiling, most likely having felt my change in mana reserves.
" Can I have 10 bottles of this?"
" Only when you learn how to make it yourself will you be able to have it."
Perfect, another skill that goes in my ever-growing status panel.
"Have you even tasted it? The leaves that compose this tea were cultivated through the sweat of several people, what you are drinking is their effort."
I looked at the cup in my hand, instead of taking a quick sip, I slowly drunk the tea, letting it fill my mouth, the taste making me relax while the smell filled my nostrils, I am not a tea guy, but this was fucking good.
The Ancient One smiled, and set aside his cup of tea, his eyes becoming a bit more serious, but still calm and happy, not sure for what he is happy though.
"The name of this place is Kamar-Taj, a hidden land high in the Himalayas, a community for sorcerers and sorcerers in the making, and a home for the sorcerer supreme, I think you know who that might be, and also a school for those who wish to learn our arts."
" Where is the catch?"
"In the case Earth is in danger, you will be tasked to save it, from the smallest to the biggest dangers, you will do everything in your power to help."
" So just being a good guy? Isn't that kind of basic as a catch?"
"I will tell you a phrase that I heard from someone I have quite a lot of respect for, for what he stands for and for how he pushes himself past his limits every second of his life, with great powers, comes great responsibilities, unfortunately not everyone wishes to face said responsibilities."
I nodded, my mind went overdrive, trying to find a possible catch in what he said, but honestly, if earth was actually in danger, would I have the courage to not do anything? I mean, this is my planet, if it gets destroyed, where would I even go?
" When do we start?"
" I love your eagerness, but before that, finish your tea, and then show me what you can currently do."
Following his instruction, I drank the little tea that remained in my cup and got up, only to face a wall, what spell am I supposed to show to the sorcerer supreme?
As if hearing my thoughts, Ivy and Obsidian popped from my mana pool, the first hugging my arm and going up towards my neck, the second instead laying on my shoulder like a bird, being made of pure mana made him weightless.
" You got a new one? That is quite fascinating, it seems to be quite attached to your mana, fueling its growth with it, how peculiar."
" Yeah, after I discovered how to use nature mana I realized that plants seem to love me."
" Mana?"
" It's how I call the energy that fuels my spells."
" Ah, I remember some mages calling their magical energies with that name, and you say you can change its effect?"
"I tried watching how mana flowed through trees-"
"You can see the energies of the world?"
" Can't you? I am quite sure you can also create a portal."
" When controlled energies take a more material form, but in their raw state? Only a selected few can see the energies that compose this world, you are quite lucky."
Let's not say that I had just bought a perk.
" Anyway, after studying how the mana of the trees was making them grow stronger for every second they were alive, I tried to copy it, and thanks to Obisdian's help, the mana reacted to my call, even going as far as giving me a tattoo," I said while moving the neck of my shirt down to show him.
His eyes bulged when seeing the tattoo, as if he had realized something, his smile widened.
"That is the brand of the druids, few can call themselves one, they have to be chosen by nature, it seems you are not just lucky, to become a druid you have to be one with nature, and nature itself has to see you as one of them, I am quite sure any animal you meet from this point will see you as friend and someone to protect."

You have discovered a hidden part of the perk " Nature's Chosen"

" Oh... I think I might have done something more impressive than I thought."
" You did, but there is nothing to worry about, though rare, Druids are nothing that would make people wage war over."
" That makes me less worried at least."
" Now then, you showed me some of your capabilities, how about I show something interesting?" He said while smiling, his smile didn't look as warm as before.
A portal opened from under me, and I fell on an open area, the top of a mountain, the cold didn't affect me, what affected me was the constant loss of 5 HP per second because of the cold.
" What the fuck?"
" Use this to escape." The Ancient One said after throwing one of those rings at me, he remained floating over the tip of the mountain, his legs crossed and looking at me with a smile.
" A WARNING NEXT TIME?" I said, while grabbing the ring he threw at me.
