Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

-----

"Sylphy! Aquarina! Celeste!"

Celica ran to our side rapidly. She should be around nine years of age, or ten? I can't really remember… But she was within that age range. She looked way too adorable in her blue and white dress though.

Naturally, she carried her Mister Teddy with her, which has been repaired many times over the years. For a birthday gift, I decided to enchant it and upgrade it with Magic and Alchemy, making it more resilient and also turning it into a piece of equipment that enhances Celica's magic power and mana regeneration speed.

"Oh! you're here little Celica." Celeste hugged her, giving her head pats.

"Ah, Celica!" Aquarina greeted Celica as well.

"Celica! How are you doing?" I asked.

"Good! I was taking baking classes with Mary and the other girls, but came here to check on you guys!" Celica said. "What are you doing? I heard from Mist you were all doing a quest for an Elixir! She said you went into an adventure to the ruins yesterday!"

"Yep, it's a long story but we went to find materials to make an Elixir." I nodded, showing her the aforementioned elixir.

"Oooh, its shiny!" Celica said in surprise.

"It took us a while, we made a lot of them though." Celeste said. "If you ever get sick or hurt, just let us know and we'll handle one."

"But wouldn't it be expensive?" Sighed Celica. "Don't go offering stuff like that, Celeste…"

"I-I guess you're right but the materials weren't so hard to get…" Celeste said. She was just trying to be magnanimous.

"Don't worry about the details." I told Celica. "Anyways, how about you accompany us?" I asked her. "You can join us in our next quest. We are all doing five quests, we've become a big team assigned with doing quests for the townsfolk!"

"Oooh! Sounds nice! C-Can I join?" Celica wondered. "I am not… well, I usually don't stick around with the dangerous stuff…"

"Of course, I just asked you if you could join, come on, let's go." I said, giving her a head pat.

"A-Alright! Mister Teddy and I will work hard!" She said innocently.

Much like Mist, Celica was like a bright and innocent sun, she'll cheer us up with her presence.

"Finally done, huh?" Zack analyzed the bottle of Elixir. "Doesn't look all that impressive to me. It looks like syrup…"

"Yeah… But I can smell it! It has tons of life essence inside, dummy!" Mist said.

"Is that so?" Zack continued being slightly skeptical. "Well, we'll see how effective it is once the elf guy drinks it."

Like that, we made our way towards Saphaley, who was currently about to leave his position.

"Alright I'm going to go buy us some lunch. What do you want?" He asked to Elphiette, the female elf guard at his side.

"Hmm… I was thinking on some salad with yogurt dressing." Said Elphiette.

"Alright… I'll buy myself some skewered meat, I really want some meat." Sighed Saphaley.

"SAPHALEEEEY!"

We quickly called for him from afar.

"Huh? Ah! It's the young lady and her friends…!"

Saphaley was surprised as we greeted him.

However, I didn't wanted to waste any more time!

"Here!"

"Eh?"

I showed him the shiny bottle filled with the Elixir.

"Is that… Syrup?" Wondered Saphaley.

"Geez! It's an Elixir! Not a syrup. Try it out! The description says it can heals scars, but we'll never know unless you try it." I offered it to him.

"T-The Elixir?! Wait, you did it in just a day?!" Saphaley asked in shock. "I was thinking you would get it done in around… a month or so. This is a bit too fast, young lady!"

"Aw don't worry about the details." I laughed. "I am never alone, there's all my friends in here."

"Yeah, we helped her to get to them." Zack said.

"I even helped her make it!" Aquarina said.

"I also did." Celeste said proudly.

"We all worked hard to get it!" Mist said with a smile.

"I-I didn't do anything but I hope you get better handsome mister!" Celica smiled back sweetly.

"Yeah, I hope you get well." Nephi added.

"T-Those two weren't here before… But thanks, alright, I'll try it out then! Elphiette, prepare yourself to see my handsome face after so long!" Saphaley quickly opened the bottle, drinking its contents.

Elphiette sighed for a bit, crossing her arms. Although her eyes seemed expectant to see what would happen.

After he drank it all, Saphaley… remained the same.

"Hm? Ah… Maybe it didn't work-"

FLAAASH!

Of course, an Elixir takes a few seconds into taking effect once it reaches the stomach, but it was working. Around five seconds after Saphaley drank it, his entire body glowed with a bright, golden aura of life overflowing across his body.

Several scars around his arms and chest glowed, being healed in an instant, and then, the light reached his face, and even his gray-colored eye, healing them all in an instant!

FLAAAAAASH!

The claw-shaped scar in the middle of his face completely disappeared smooth and beautiful skin covering his entire face, his gray eye returned to the same color as his other eye as well…

It was amazing to see. We were all filled with awe as we saw him finally being healed from such a huge scar that traumatized his life since childhood…

Saphaley began touching his own face in silence, softly caressing it. His true appearance was finally revealed, and he looked pretty handsome.

Tears flowed from his eyes, as he covered his face with his hands.

"Thank you… I… I can't believe it worked… My face… Young Lady… Thank you so much!"

He kneeled in front of me as he started crying out of happiness, but I could also sense all the frustration he had accumulated through all this time, he let it all out.

I… simply couldn't help but smile a bit after accomplishing what he had dreamed for so long.

Ding!
