Flynn did not want his father to find any peculiarities with the sudden power he had gained.

To make sure his father won't have any doubts about whether his control had really gotten better, Flynn spent a few days adjusting his mana waves, making sure that the pill really works and has no backlash.

Then afterwards, he told his father that he felt something different about the mana within his body, and asked if he could get examined.

Duke Henrik took Flynn to one of the best examiners in the area, who told the duke that Flynn's usual violent mana waves have gotten calmer, that it had become usable.

While the result was sudden, both the father and son are elated. When the examiner knew that Flynn had encountered a life threatening situation not long ago, he could only deduce that the sudden change may have been caused by the body's defense mechanism while he was in danger.

"It's simply a blessing in disguise!" The examiner had exclaimed, but Henrik felt otherwise.

While it's definitely great that his son had recovered, he believed that no reward could offset the danger Flynn had went through. If it weren't for the adventurer who happened to rescue his son, it's hard to believe that Flynn would have returned alive.

But regardless, what had happened had already happened. Flynn had gained control over his mana and just that fact alone is worthy of a celebration. Henrik was elated, though not nearly as much as his son. The duke hired many outstanding teachers who taught Flynn how to properly use his mana and form spells and formations. For the child who had always dreamed of such a chance, he took up the knowledge like a dry sponge soaking up water, and news quickly spread through the kingdom that the good for nothing son of the Wisteria House had regained his talents.

The fear his siblings originally had of him also slowly dissipated, and although his brothers and sister felt ashamed of how they avoided him so, Flynn forgave them easily and things had begun to turn in the brighter direction.

Though soon, a change had begun to take place within the child who started to step forward in life.........

____________________________________

In this scene, Bai Lian no longer sees the same familiar boy with the short, wavy silver-blue hair.

In a large bedroom with luxurious furnishings, the cold morning light shined dimly through the large glass window. Due to the room's cool colored wall paper, the light shined through appears in a pale blue color, which the light, like a spotlight, lit the slim youth standing in the middle of the room.

Flynn Wisteria had grown quite a bit, his uncut hair trailed down just below his neck, reaching his collar bones.

The young boy is currently standing in front of a full body mirror, his upper body bare. His originally pale skin had somehow grown even paler as the result of being away from the sun.

On his body, large, distinct scars could be seen, but they are no longer as ghastly as years ago.

None of his features are much different from the past, but Bai Lian notices a subtle difference with Flynn's eyes.

He isn't completely sure whether the change was bought about by the dark lighting of his room, but his eyes aren't as bright as back when he was younger. The usual ocean blue color had become darker.

If the previous color could be described as the shimmering, shallow ocean water below the bright, afternoon sun, now it's like the blue of the deep sea covering miles of darkness beneath.

But what brought about this change? It isn't difficult to guess: the unknown pill the cloaked person had given him.

Though only Bai Lian could guess this, since he compared the Flynn directly from as a child to now. Flynn himself and his family couldn't see the gradual difference.

Flynn is currently holding a school uniform in his hands, preparing to put it on, but his dark blue eyes are currently lowered in thought, as if immersing himself in past memories.

With a quick flick of his wrist, the now 13 year old Flynn dressed himself in the uniform shirt, which signifies his identity of a new first year student at the most famous and best magician academy in the human kingdom. No longer looking as weak and innocent as his previous self, Flynn's persona had went through many changes in the short years from when he had taken the pill.

The young teen appears to have a new personality drastically different from how he was previously.

____________________________________

Soon he would be going to most famous magic academy in the human continent. Something that he couldn't have imagined doing only years ago.

The academy is located in the largest kingdom in the continent, one with the longest years of history and contains the most powerful figures. Every year, there would be extremely selective challenges to pick out the most talented individuals. Out of 10,000 youths that are eligible to take the test, only 0.01% are selected, and around 20% of them are kicked out each year due to being 'too average' despite being picked out from countless other talented youths.

Flynn getting into this almost legendary academy was no easy task even for his background and talent. To stand out, he put everything on the line to push his body to his limits, being finally receiving admission.

After the teen finished putting on his outer coat, he turned to walk out of his room, to bid goodbye to his family and to continue achieving his dream.

____________________________________

In the academy, the student population consists mostly of royalties and those from high standing families. Among them, there are also some from lower ranking families, some also came from a poor village, or a farm, but nonetheless, there are few who would ignorantly look down on those with low standing. Perhaps it was partially due to this that the academy had such a bright reputation.

The professors are also quite knowledgeable, as the process to select teachers aren't any less strict compared to the students.

To motivate the students to become important figures to the continent, the academy hosts competitions, rankings, and encourages mock battles between individuals.

The competitions do not only consist of magic, but also potion making, formation inscribing, and quite a bit more.

But for Flynn, whose goal is to solely become a powerful mage, he put all effort and energy to simply become strong.

His dedication is strong, a bit too strong even.....

Other than to attend classes and the more competitive competitions, he doesn't interact with many people. In fact, even when his sister attended the same academy in the future, even she could rarely catch a glance of him.

Despite how Flynn never exactly tried to stand out, he was actually well known in the school.

Achieving high scores in battle rankings and grades, and adding on his dark personality, few tries to approach him.

Those who had were only given a cold glance before he turned around without saying a word.

Regardless, Flynn Wisteria's achievements were numerous and outstanding even when compared to other talented individuals. In his academy years, he spent much effort into his strength, succeeding in becoming one of the strongest students of his year.

___________________________________

The scenes Bai Lian saw of Flynn's academy years were not many and not very detailed. Other than the teenager's many achievements and efforts, there wasn't much he could make out from the bits and pieces of information.

...... perhaps to Flynn, his academy years weren't very important. It was all a stepping stone to become powerful.

But Bai Lian realized something important.

What exactly was Flynn's motivation?

The Flynn Wisteria as a child wanted to become a magician to prove that he can properly subdue and control his magic, and to make his family proud.

But the Flynn as a teenager he saw was like a beast. One without motivation and goal, and only knew to step forward wildly as if being controlled. Unknowingly, he was controlled by some unknown force, becoming a completely different person, becoming someone he never had any intentions of becoming before......

No matter his achievements, his face does not contain any excitement. Even when being awarded as one of the top graduates, the happiness shown was much less compared to when the Flynn as a child summoning just a piece of his mana back in the forest......

In the next scene, a grand golden hall appeared in front of Bai Lian's eyes.

The corridors are packed with guards and guests. The walls are decorated extravagantly with priceless paintings.

Each individual guest is dressed in their best clothing, not willing to look badly in front of their peers in such an occasion.

All the guest are led to the main hall, a large expanse of space which still has much ground to spare despite the large number of guests.

In front of the hall, atop a flight of stairs stood the King and queen's throne, which glittered with many protective enchantments and jewels.

Soon, loud music was heard, blaring out the anthem and quieted the guests.

Beside the throne, the king, a kind looking man in his late 30s stood out from behind red curtains, along with his wife, the queen.

"Fellow guests!" His loud voice boomed out with authority.

"Let us commence our yearly celebration to recognize the future stars of our kingdom. The top graduates who has the power to start a new page in history!"
