"Where did you get these from?" Luke studied me.
"I got them from Micah to help with my control," I revealed.
"Aren't they cool?" I twirled for them.
"There's another person inside this mansion?" Ethan couldn't stop staring at me.
"He's a guest that doesn't like interacting with others," Alex admitted his existence.
"Those are the true legendary items," Charles was in awe.
"I need more herbs," I got to my initial purpose.
"I can transfer them to you right now," Luke opened his inventory.
I smiled when there was more than I had expected. They were working hard, trying to prevent Ethan and Charles from complaining to bring in another worker. After everyone transferred me their gathered herbs, I continued to brag about my new items I wore. I posed multiple times, almost like someone was taking photos of me. I liked how the wings on my back faintly moved, making them appear more realistic.
"This is why we can't just let anyone inside this place, excluding the herbs," Alex took this chance to explain.
Both Ethan and Charles seemed to agree with Alex for the first time. Meanwhile, Luke was already working on adjusting the security inside the mansion, getting the controls from Alex. It was obvious he was thinking I would become another target once others saw me. The garden was close to the gates, making this a more vulnerable location than others.
"Your shoes are slightly floating," Ethan noticed.
"They are and it's super comfortable," I showed him.
"I want to meet this person called Micah," he admired my clothes and shoes.
"Go back to Micah," Luke urged me.
"I'll come back when I run out of herbs again," I turned to leave them.
Once I returned to the time-space room, I found a pretty staff in front of me. A unique pink jewel was nearly shaped like an orb. The stick seemed to come from a slender rosy tree branch, resembling shimmering metal. Unlike the other items, fluffy white bows decorated the base, ribbons slightly floating around it. This would have been better to use in the magical girl video than the one I borrowed from the mana research club.
"This has to work," Micah was placing his hopes into the staff.
I gasped when I actually succeeded in one of my attempts once I learnt how to use the staff. The headmaster began to cry, wiping her tears from managing to teach a hopeless student. With all the items from the fairy world, it helped me measure my mana more precisely. To make sure it wasn't a fluke, my teachers made me repeat the process many times. However, it really did turn out to be based on luck. Micah tried to comfort the headmaster that she had done her best.
Since I ran out of herbs, I used the staff to fly to the garden. I felt like I was a witch from the fairy tales, sitting on the staff while pouring mana to get to my destination. I was glad Micah taught me all its features, hoping one of them would help me with my attempts. Lowering the staff towards the people on the ground, I safely landed on the ground. One of the many commands was having the staff come flying into one of my hands to return to me.
"Please give me more herbs," I held out one of my hands.
"What is that?" Ethan was impressed.
"A staff," I played with it.
"This isn't a normal staff," Charles resembled Ethan.
"Can you let us meet Micah?" He turned to Alex.
"Micah is busy," Alex refused.
Both Charles and Ethan turned to me, hoping I would let them meet Micah. However, Micah was truly busy with using his connections to help me. I shook my head as I answered, "it's really true. Micah is always busy."
"Here are the herbs," Luke interrupted us, reminding them to give me the herbs.
This made everyone give me their herbs, disappointed that they wouldn't be able to meet the mysterious guest. But an idea dashed through my head, knowing what could make up for it. I pulled out a container of cream, "I managed to finally succeed with the staff."
"I worked really hard for this," I wanted some praise.
"What does it do?" Luke began to clean his hand.
"It heals almost any injury on the area you apply it," I found my hard work had paid off.
"It can remove infections and mend bones," I got the details from Micah.
I passed the container to Luke, knowing he would make better use of it. Although I had no talent in taking care of others, he was the opposite. With this container, I had officially passed the trial. It was time to continue to collect the herbs to be able to use them in the future. After creating more items, I planned to fill the storage rooms with elixirs until there was no more space. Once Luke accepted the container, he knew what I wanted from him, "what do you want me to purchase for you?"
"I want a waterpark inside the mansion," I brightly smiled.
