<span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother! Practice with me!" Leon and Laura wanted to practice with him. It had been quite some time since they did so.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," But as he was about to, something came to his mind, "Actually, let''s not practice first. There''s something I want you guys to try,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" The two children tilted their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want you guys to try these," Keith had taken out some moonlight persimmons.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alvin, I will need your help with this."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What does the fruit do?" Alvin tilted his head. It was obvious that Keith would feed these things to the children; there should also be an effect.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, you''re going to feed them that? That''s smart." Carolyn and Krystal were done sparring as they came over to the sibling group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Keith turned to the two, "Go ahead and try it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" The two took a big bite out of the persimmon; when they did, a light blue glow surrounded the two. But they didn''t realize it as they continued to munch.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tasty," They savored the vor as they nibbled. It was like two little hamsters.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How do you guys feel?" Besides the adorableness, there was something he was more interested in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Warm and fuzzy in my tummy." Afortable and cozy feeling enveloped their stomach.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Try firing your magic."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay!" Leon started to chant something. And a giant fireball appeared in his hand!
<span style="font-weight:400">As he did, Alvin froze, "What the? Why is it so strong?!" He had been teaching the two how to use magic. Leon was quite adept with using fire magic. That was why when he summoned the fireball, it was twice the size of what he usually did.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ites from the moonlight persimmons. It increases their magic power for a short period."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I see."
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s an incredible fruit," Derek muttered. To increase magical power like that? It was absurd.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The increase of magic is one of the effects. But it also has a special effect of increasing a mage''s container." Krystalmented.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?!" Alvin''s expression froze.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It increases mine not that much," Carolyn muttered. She had eaten one, but like Scarlet and Alfia, her container was much higher than average. It didn''t affect them too much.
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal added, "I think it would be better for people who are young or have a small container. That''s when the effects are the most effective." Arlo''s container increased because of the fruit.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother, can you check it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course." Hearing all of this, Alvin ced his hand on the two. A frown soon formed, "It''s definitely increased. However, I think we should have Mendel check on it."
<span style="font-weight:400">A secondter, the doctor came over, "What can I do for you, Young Master?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can youe and check their bodies? Specifically, their containers?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Mendel touched Leon and Laura''s bodies. That was when he checked it out, "Their containers are definitelyrger. But it seems like there''s nothing wrong with it."
<span style="font-weight:400">"By how much?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"About half."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay," Keith nodded. His deduction wasn''t wrong; using this on younger people was more effective than older ones.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But, Young Master, you shouldn''t feed them this all the time," Mendel warned, "If you force their containers to grow every day, they will break." That would make it impossible to use mana.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I know that," Keith felt he shouldn''t let them always eat it. The same goes for the ind. The ones who had a significant boost to their containers were halted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How long should I wait before I give another one to them?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Give them a week to let their container adjust."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood. Thank you, Mendel." Keith nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"So we can''t eat it?" Leon and Laura''s eyes blinked. Keith shook, "Sorry, but not right now. You guys will have to wait before you can do so again."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aww."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"But there are other delicious things your big brother has in store for you!" He had been capturing so many monsters for this day.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yippe!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go and have breakfast now." Since they know about their sudden increase in power, they should get food. They hadpletely forgotten about training.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">"A fruit that could increase one''s magic containers. There was such an incredible thing like this?" William never heard of such a fruit capable of doing this. Sophia took a bite and felt it out, "My magic power definitely increased by a quarter. However, my container didn''t grow that much."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s still lethal," In Sophia''s hands, an increase of .25 was deadly. It could change the tides of battle in an instant.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How much would one cost," Derek muttered. Now came the issue.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm, if we''re going with how it can increase magical power by that much, then it''s definitely going for at least 2 tinum. But when you add that it could instantly improve the eater''s container, 5 tinum." Thatst effect was what everyone should keep their eyes on.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"My lord." Everyone gulped.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re not nning to sell it, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nope. I''m not nning to do so." Having this on the market was pretty deadly. The only thought in his mind was;
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m wondering what kinds of desserts I can pair with it to make it delicious?" Hearing the effects, he could make it work.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big brother, you''re drooling again." Slight drops of water came from the side of his mouth.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about that." The man quickly wiped the drool away.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kind of a bad habit," Derek muttered. Everyone knew about the drool he had when he thought about food.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s charming," Carolyn muttered while Krystal nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." These two.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s have our meal now." Enough talking about this fruit; it was time for them to get food in their stomachs.
