"What exactly does that mean?" I questioned her, "Nothing?" She said, "Nothing, my ass." I replied as I took a mouthful.

Ruby burst out laughing as I looked at Ena. "You two, you look so funny when you fight." "Sorry, I couldn't stop it, haha," she laughed.

There were tears in her eyes, and she was laughing too hard, so we made some small talk while we ate our lunch in privacy, and to be honest, I appreciated this environment.

It was incredibly pleasant for someone like me who has never had a family, so I wondered if this is how a family must feel.

I observed Ena and Ruby conversing and laughing, and

as I looked at them, I thought this was as close to a family as I could get.

After lunch, Ena and Ruby began to play tag outside the hut, and I watched them as I sat on the window sill.

They both had really quick reactions, so it was like seeing two parkour specialists doing stunts: jumping over each other, dodging in strange ways, and so on.

"All right, you two, it's time for class." As I leaped out the window and approached them, I shouted, "Awwh," and Ena grumbled, "Can't we play a little longer?" "I was about to catch her." Ruby protested, and they both made puppy eyes.

What are they trying to achieve? I'm a cat, and I can do a better puppy face than them. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why it's called puppy face. "Don't cats do it better than puppies in terms of making our eyes wide and cute?" "No," I answered, making puppy eyes as well, just to watch their reaction.

And I was not disappointed as they both began to approach me in a fog. "OK, you two go to your seats," I said. As I proceeded to the top of the hill, where there were now two benches for them to sit on, they both moved in a stupor and sat on their chairs, their eyes blank.

Why were they acting like that? I wondered as I climbed onto Ena's bench and waved my paw in front of her eyes to see whether she was all right.

Star, do you have any ideas as to why they're acting this way?

[Well, I can only guess, but I think it might be because of your cat-eye skill. There are many skills that have leveled up, so it might be one of them.]

Ya, actually, I should check my Cat Eyes skill.

***

Cat eye (level 78),

a skill found only in a few cat species around the world, is a skill that improves with leveling and can compete with the legendary skill Dragon Eyes.

features:

Cat control: you can use your eyes to control someone for some time; you can give them orders and even erase memories or create new ones; you can even break someone's mind using this skill if not used properly.

***

Oh, there is a function to control someone, huh? Thats cool.

I can erase memories and create them as well, and I can break someone's mind. Wait, fuck, did I accidentally break their mind? No, please no.

Deactivate the skill. I commanded the system.

[Cat control is temporarily disabled.]

The light in Ruby and Ena's eyes returned as soon as the skill was deactivated. "How did I get here?"

"W-what happened?" they said. They were quite surprised when they suddenly found themselves somewhere else

and a little scared, as they had no idea how it had happened.

"Don't be concerned, you two; there is nothing to worry about. ""I just used a skill of mine accidentally," I said to them as I looked towards them.

"What kind of skill can do that?" Ruby asked as she shuddered subconsciously worn out. ""I feel as ifs passed out for a second, but I could feel everything around me," Ena said.

"Sorry, it was a mind control spell that activated," I explained to them. "Well anyway, let's change the topic and get back to what we were supposed to do here; tell me what you two have found out until now," I asked as I sat down on the ground and looked at Ena and Ruby, who were preparing as if it were a job interview; they both were researching the same thing: they had to find a way to find out how mana cores worked.

"Well, first of all, we were quite confused as to how we could do research without any tools, but thanks to you, we were able to see at the surface of a mana core with incredible detail," Ena said as she used a wooden board with a diagram of the mana core to demonstrate how a mana core appeared to me.

"After looking at the mana core in great detail, we were able to see that it was coded in microscopic runes that are very difficult to see with regular eyes, but we were able to copy the ruins on the mana core," Ruby said, speaking one after the other. How cute.

"And this was the result," Ena said as she showed me a wooden board with a runic language on it.

"However, we were not able to make use of it; these are the only things we found out in a month," Ruby said.

"Yes, that is an excellent presentation. Now get back to your seats. "I will explain a few things," I said to both girls.

Let me explain now. You are correct about the part where you learned about the ruins; these ruins are what you are looking for because they are what allowed a random slime to use magic.

You will begin studying these ruins, and as you practice spells and use magic, your mana core will become increasingly refined as you gain strength.

as i spoke Ruby raised her hand, I gestured for her to speak,

"how dose mana cores refine?" she asked,

Excellent question, i praised her and then explained well you see it's just a theaury for now but according to my research when practice to use more and more mana your mana will go through your core, and then refine it, its like clearing a river which has been blacked by something, as the water goes through it it will slowly but gradually push the things thats blacking the waters path, I explained to them,

After explaining the theory for many hours I was finally done for today,

'Well this will be all for today, now your task is to find out how to use the ruins, when yous are able to use the ruins I will teach you further and further, I told them and then dismissed the class.

"It was a interesting class" Ena said as she stretched her body and then stood up,

"Ya, we are getting close to using magic" Ruby said,

'Well to be honest you are just at the starting point, there are many things that you have to learn' I dais to them.

"Well anyways lets, stop talking about magic stuff and go where they are building the castle" Ena said excitedly, both Ruby and Ena had been living in this cave for most of their time so they didn't really get any chance to get go watch the construction work for the castle that they had started building, there were some other side projects that were also happening just budding the capital and different sections for different stuff, I had been watching everything from my cave so far and didn't really see the need to go out.

There were also some cases of mutations that I had been working on, which were really some mind boogieing stuff that I didn't understand, I had been trying to analyze the energy that we found that day and well I am recreating it to see how it worked and if the is a way to get stop it, but so far I haven't really got any results.

It was quite depressing to be honest, but its something that I had to do, as for the fairy's they had started living alongside elves, druids, and some tree type humanoid creatures that looked like walking trees, everything so far had been going good,

As we made our way out of the cave, there was a new thing that I had just noticed there were a lot of flowers in the night forest, all white Red spider lily's they had yet to turn red so it looked like a white layer of snow was covering the hill, the only thing that was black was the ground, tree bark, and the stems of the red spider lily's apparently they were not green but black stems.
