Chapter 820 Benladra's Mana Manipulation Training
-----
Although I lack the elements that Benladra can use through magic aside from Ice magic, I've been trying to help her figure them out alongside Benladann, Miranda, and Kate, with the occasional visit of Pekora, who has Nature and partially Light Magic, which Benladra also has, she gave us a few books about these magics, which I've been reading with my daughter without stopping to teach her how to use her magic. She's a precious little cinnamon roll that is always curious about everything, so it's not hard to teach her things because she's always willing to learn. Through these classes, we have finally managed to teach her the most basic little spells of her main magic… except heaven magic, which is a mystery to us.
The trick with Benladra's insane magic power is to teach her to use it in smaller quantities, this way, she'll learn to contain herself and use her magic power more moderately. The trick is to teach her how to use low-tiered magic spells so she can learn to create magic with little mana. She has an overflowingly insane amount after all, so it would be for the best if she could conjure little magic power at once instead of letting it all flow out and make something she can't even control. She has a lot of mana but little control after all. And not only that, perhaps due to her being the actual direct descendant of a supposed dragon god who had his powers sealed and reawakened, she might have the potential to just become a dragon goddess after growing up in age some more.
According to Fafnir from back then, he said that as dragons grow older, they unlock more divine power from the draconic records, Benladra is connected to them as Fafnir confirmed, so she has the potential to become a goddess without even drinking my potions, although the potions are probably hastening this process. I need her to be strong for what's to come. Not like I am throwing her into danger, but I am better safe than sorry later, right? There's nothing wrong with making my little princess into a living nuke if that means she can defend herself.
"Plant… Enhancement…!" Benladra said, barely being able to muster the words as her way of speech was still very baby-like, there was a small seed we placed inside the grass below where we were sitting, as the seed suddenly began to sprout, branches grew and even leaves, and the whole plant sprouted out of the ground in a few seconds.
"Woow!" Benladann said while clapping her arms, while Kate clapped as well while sitting in her legs.
"Wow!" Said Kate while imitating Benladann as best as possible.
"Amazing, you finally did it well, Benladra! It took you a few tries, but you finally managed to grow a seed into a normal plant and not a monster plant!" I celebrated. Since we started this magic training exercise that the poor little Benladra, she had been making only monsters no matter how much she tried, this was happening because she infused way too much mana and ended mutating the seed into a creature, life magic can apparently do that if you infuse thousands of mana in seconds.
"I wiw it!" Said Benladra, raising her tiny hands with a cheerful and innocent smile that melted my heart. I couldn't contain myself and hugged my daughter kissing her forehead and congratulating her with a comfortable and warm hug, Benladann and Kate quickly joined the hug.
"Well done, this is just the beginning, you'll have to learn way more spells!" Said Benladann, kissing Benladra's cheek.
"Mowe?!" Asked Benladra while feeling despair. It had already taken her over a week to learn the Plant Enhancement Spell and use it how it was supposed to be used. This was also a way to train her mana manipulation so it had to be this way.
"Yep… You'll have to learn a new Spell now, [Metabolism Acceleration], there is also [Sense Enhancement], and even [Nutrition Increase], all of them are life attribute spells that are used as a daily basis by mages of these elements often used to enhance the life of plants, but can also be used in our own bodies to make ourselves stronger! If you learn how to use these spells properly, you'll become way stronger." I said, trying to motivate her. For some reason Benladra always got motivated when she heard she could get stronger.
"Swonger?" She asked happily.
"Yes, you'll be way stronger if you learn and master them!" Said Benladann. "But for now dear, how about you use Plant Enhancement in all these other seeds?"
We were currently in the fields. We had begun a plantation of various plant seeds we bought from the nearby fiefdom, they had more than just oranges, but we also made sure to steal orange seeds. Benladra's amazing life and nature magic was very rare actually, aside from her, Pekora, and less than ten other people amidst the hundreds we got, had all been helping these plants grow little by little.
"Awwww…"
Benladra sighed as she looked at all the seeds we were going to plant through the field, but she was our way to make them grow bigger and healthier (and hopefully not monstrous in the process). This was also a way for her to practice a small spell and therefore, mana manipulation, so we were killing three birds with one stone.
"Come on, dear, let's practice some more, we got you sweets for later." I said. "I've already baked a delicious fruit kuchen with the eggy cream you like so much."
"Ooooh! Kuchen!!!" Benladra immediately was pumped up. Something even stronger than her motivation to grow stronger was her motivation to eat delicious pastries and sweet food, she had developed a sweet tooth even though she was also a rather active meat eater.
"And we also got you a big meatloaf you can eat later, so don't slack off now and let's train together!" Said Benladann.
"Twain!" Said Kate while nodding, as she seemed to manage to convince her big sister.
"Oway!" Said Benladra, her eyes blazing with motivation.
And this is how you motivate a child in this world, with tasty food.
