Phelia began to excitedly blabber about her experiences beyond the mountains, describing sights and wonders that made Vladimir’s worldview begin to expand.

“Wow, there’s actually a world like that, Aunt Phelia?” he said, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Phelia nodded, smiling at his expression, “Yes, there is. It’s because we live in such a remote place. It would even take months to reach the nearest city where you could see those things,” she explained.

“Unless we had those vehicles from what I told you about, then it would be much, much faster. But too bad they’re only for the rich,” she said with a sigh.

Vladimir understood what kind of vehicle his aunt was referring to.

She had once told him about small ships capable of flying through the air.

However, they were incredibly expensive, luxuries that only people with strong backgrounds with wealth could afford, it is far beyond the reach of some commoners from the countryside.

Her Aunt didn’t even have enough money to buy one percent of such a vehicle.

Vladimir’s blood boiled with determination, he wanted to experience everything his aunt had described.

He wanted to see the world beyond the mountains, just like she had during her time at the academy.

“Now, aren’t you excited? When you reach the right age to enroll, I’ll do my best to teach you everything I learned at the academy,” Phelia said with an encouraging smile.

“Really? You’ll help me, Aunt?” Vladimir asked, his eyes widening with hope and excitement.

“Of course. If you’re calling me aunt, then that makes me responsible for you,” Phelia said as she ruffled his hair, laughing heartily.

But then her laughter faded as her eyes caught the expression on Aeloria’s face, it was pale and feeling a bit troubled.

As a woman, she understood what Aeloria might be feeling.

Gently distancing herself from Vladimir, Phelia walked over to her best friend.

“Hey, Aeloria… are you okay?” she asked softly.

“Listen to me here, your son has talent. And from what I can sense, he may be even more gifted than I ever was. If you try to isolate him after this… it’ll only hurt him in the future,” she said in a gentle whisper, her tone filled with care.

Aeloria trembled, shocked that her hidden thoughts had been seen through so easily.

Just moments ago, she had watched her son’s excited expression, filled with dreams and wonder, and it pierced her deeply.

Her heart ached with the fear of losing something precious in the near future.

Even the thought of being separated from her children for a single day filled her with unbearable reluctance.

So when she heard that his son Vladimir had the qualifications to enroll in the academy, her first instinct had been fear, not pride. Devastated by the idea of losing him to a world beyond her reach, she had even begun to consider isolating him, forcing him to abandon that path and live a normal life by her side.

But was that really the right choice?

Thanks to Phelia’s gentle yet honest advice, Aeloria’s mind began to clear.

The fog of fear and possessiveness slowly lifted, replaced by a mother’s quiet strength.

She smiled softly, her eyes still a little misty.

“Thank you, Phelia. Since my son was blessed by the heavens, as his mother, I should support him in his decisions,” Aeloria responded with a smile.

“That’s the spirit and the right mindset for a mother,” Phelia said proudly.

“After all, a mighty tiger can never be caged.”

She chuckled and gave Aeloria a playful nudge, “Be blessed, Aeloria. In the near future, your name might be known far and wide, as the woman who gave birth to a truly talented mage.”

Aeloria chuckled softly at Phelia’s words, “Now that’s all settled... hey, little fella,” she said, glancing back at Vladimir, who was watching the two of them with a blank, slightly confused expression.

“If you have some spare time, come visit me at my place,” Phelia said with a warm smile.

“I’ll teach you some magic and spells I learned back at the academy. You want to, right?”

Vladimir’s eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes! I want to learn some magic!”

Seeing his silly look, Phelia chuckled again, “That’s good. Then, I’m off,” she said, turning toward the door.

Just as she was about to leave, Aeloria stopped her by gently grabbing her arm.

“Phelia, you forgot to take your check-up fee,” Aeloria said, extending her palm with five bronze coins resting in it.

Phelia’s expression immediately shifted. She shook her head with a stern look and reached out to pinch Aeloria’s cheek.

“Aeloria, how many times have I told you! if you need help, especially something like a check-up, it’s always free. If you do it again, I’m going to…”

She leaned in close, as she brought her lips to Aeloria’s ear and whispered something that made Aeloria’s face immediately flush red.

Aeloria’s face turned bright red as she lowered her gaze, her legs subtly rubbing against each other.

Seeing her flustered reaction, Phelia became even more delighted, biting her lip to suppress a playful grin.

“Now that settles it,” Phelia said, her tone light.

But then her expression shifted to something more serious, and she spoke.

“Also, there’s something I want to add. Aeloria, it’s not that I’m criticizing your efforts… it’s just that, if you ever need help, especially with money, you can ask me. I have some to spare, anytime” she said gently.

“We’ve been friends since childhood, and I don’t want you to overwork yourself just to get by with daily necessities.”

Her voice carried a soft but genuine sympathy, showing a deep bond they had always shared.

Even though Phelia was still single and had no children of her own, she could clearly see the hardships her best friend had endured.

Aeloria looked down with a wry smile, “I’ll keep your words in mind,” she said quietly, closing her palm around the bronze coins.

“Thanks for everything Phelia,” she then lifted her head and looked at her with gratitude.

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll be going now. I still have some patient waiting for me, ba-bye,” she then left leaving Aeloria their.

Vladimir watched the scene unfold before him, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying.

Their voices were too low, and although he had become stronger, his senses hadn’t sharpened enough to allow him to overhear their conversation.

Then, without warning, a translucent panel appeared in front of him, glowing faintly.

Author’s Note:

Just to clarify here, Vladimir’s world isn’t stuck in a medieval fantasy setting with only kingdoms, swords, and magic.

While there are academies, noble families, and traditional elements like cultivation, the world does have technology, similar to what we have in the modern day.

There are cellphones, ships for long-distance travel, and other forms of modern tech integrated into society.

For example, if you remember the Beast Suppression Corps from Chapter 1, they used advanced ships to respond quickly to outbreaks. So no, this world isn’t limited to old-school fantasy tropes. It’s a blend of magic, cultivation, and modern tech, all coexisting in one system.
