Two days passed peacefully. Theo trained with Rhys until he couldn’t anymore and then did so footwork training of his own before he went to his room to either study or help the mantis recover.
The mantis’s recovery was a lot better now, the bent-up foreleg was better now—it wasn’t as bent as it was before.
From his understanding, not only did the dicinal bath help progress the recovery faster, but the moss that grew back quickly and gobbled instantly was a big reason too.
The past two days had led Theo to take so mild dicinal baths of his own, mostly the ones that progressed muscle relief quicker.
Rhys was the one who first made the dicinal bath for him. According to him, he used to take it several tis a day when his journey started, which led to the dicinal bath’s effects lowering a lot for him.
So, Theo decided to take them in discretion.
Theo went to Clara almost every day to see her progress. The big bruise didn’t change color, but according to the doctors, she had healed a lot internally.
All this ti, the boar and pup stayed beside her bed without making any ruckus. Whenever the pup tried sothing, the boar rebuked it in its own way, which helped keep the pup beside them a lot longer than Theo had assud.
Giving them food beca a daily routine, yet one day in between, Clara’s family ca to visit to check on her condition. Yet Theo only got to know about it when they left—the opportunity to et them was gone now.
Another day passed with the sa routine. Theo was now a lot more stable when it ca to using a sword. He was accustod to holding it tight and fighting for prolonged tis.
The mantis was going to be healed any ti soon, according to Theo’s prediction after looking at its body. He could not feel the mantis in any pain—there was only the bent-up foreleg, which fortunately fixed itself by going back to its rightful place again.
Now felt like the right ti to go and defeat a beast 3 levels above the mantis.

"Young master... why do you need to defeat a level 7 beast when yours is just level 4..." Elias asked with a perplexed expression.
They were in a carriage going toward the boar’s territory—only about five minutes of the way was left now.
"What do you an why? I need practice, Elias. Try to keep up." Theo said with a fake ’hmph!’, he did not want to explain to him just yet when he didn’t trust him fully.
Elias wanted to speak, yet for a while, not a word ca out of his mouth.
"...It will be difficult finding a level 7 beast in the outskirts, young master. It’s good that we have Chit with us," Elias spoke with a sigh.
"Chit?" Theo asked. He still hadn’t seen his beast, but seeing as his mother was the one that sent Elias, he was sure that he was strong enough.
"Yes, that’s my beast’s nickna. I will take it out right now," Elias spoke and closed his eyes. Theo’s eyes widened—this was not the place to take the beast out.
Yet it was too late. A bright light ca out of the forehead directly outside the window. Theo looked outside and found nothing. Whatever it was had been left behind.
SWOOSH
Soon, Theo saw a silhouette sliding at the sa speed as the carriage—and Theo knew the carriage was fast. He had told Warren about it.
"This is Chit. Say hello to young master," Elias spoke while looking out.
There was a big colorful bird outside with feathers bright red and blue. It was very beautiful, and when it chirped with its lodious voice, Theo felt like he was hearing soothing music.
"What beast is that? Where does it originate from?" Theo asked with curiosity.
"It’s the Whisperplu Jay It’s mostly in the east region of our empire. I am originally from there, young master," Elias spoke with a smile, surprising Theo.

He looked at the bird that was moving with so much precision that it felt like it was not flying at all, just gliding with the air just beside the carriage.
"Tell more about it," Theo asked in curiosity. They had finally found a topic that both could talk about without any problem.
Till now, Theo was still not confident enough to tell him anything about him that was not public right now. Even him taming an insect was sothing he still was not comfortable telling people.
The mantis was going to grow soon enough, and only then would the world start seeing its worth.
The travel felt leisurely again, and when they reached the forest’s outskirts again, Theo and Elias jumped out of the carriage and saw Warren already asleep with his straw cap on his head.
Theo just shook his head with a chuckle, and Elias wrote sothing down on a paper before placing everything back in the pouch around his waist.
"I will send Chit right away to look for the first beast around. Would you like to practice first, young master?" Elias asked while he kept a hand on the side of his forehead.
Theo knew what it was—when a beast needed a big ntal command, this was a trick to often concentrate efficiently.
The first flew up without any sound. Theo couldn’t realize there was sothing in the air if it was not gliding in the air in front of him.
Elias quickly closed his eyes again before another light ca out of his forehead.
When the beast materialized, Theo was almost disappointed.
"Hahah, did you think I would have another non-native beast again, young master? Unfortunately not," Elias spoke with an awkward chuckle.

"No, it’s alright. They are quite common in this region," Theo spoke and continued while looking at the ape with confident eyes, "I know how strong they can get."
"There is no problem, right?"
