After John contemplated on some things, he again look at the bronze coins that is previously only three, but now have another one added.For his goal to gain money, he will use the power that he obtained today to help him achieve his goal faster. So using his power he will multiply coins as this is the fastest way he can think that is available for him to use. Although he know that he can"t keep doing this and flood the market with bronze coin and make the authority investigate the reason behind it. So he will only use this money to make a capital to start a business, and he already thought out what business it is that he is going to start, it is of course a restaurant for his mother.
So without further ado he pick up another piece of bronze lying on the box. He once again chant silently inside his head, "Multiply", but this time he wish for it to multiply into three.
After waiting for some time, nothing happen. The coin did not multiply and his power is not triggered nor his mana decrease.
He thought that there is restrictions for his power that is why he can"t multiply objects up to three¹. Without thinking much about this he resume doing the work of magic again. Another bronze is produce and his mana decrease.
He keep doing that until he feel exhausted and he think that he will faint. After using his power and checking how much mana it use every time, he saw that it decrease by one every time he use multiply on a coin. So with that he produce coins until only one mana remain on him.
After that he lay on the floor and close his to rest for only a bit, but not before he put the box with coins back under his bed. Although he only want ti rest only for a bit, his body too tired and he unknowingly fall asleep on the floor.
-------------
After an unknown amount of time, John wake up from his sleep.
"I did not thought that I will fall asleep, maybe me body is just that tired" He said aloud.
Looking at where he is, he notice that he not laying on the floor anymore but is back to his room and his bed. He look outside through the window, and saw that it is already night time.
He stand from his bed and walk out of his room. He saw his mother cooking food for their supper this evening.
Sophia notice that John is already woke up, she called to him, "John, sit and wait for me at the table, this will be cook soon."
"Yes, mom," He replied.
After a few minutes, his mom approach bring with her the dishes.
John notice that there is more food today than usual, he can"t help but ask, "Why are there much more today than usual, Mom?"
"That is because, today you receive your gift. So it calls for a celebration! But I can"t give anything grand to you, so I"m sorry about that" Sophia said, a little sad that she can"t give him more than this.
Feeling a little teary, John look at his mother, "This is enough for me mom, as long as you are there I will be grateful and happy." He said with some tears rolling on his face.
Seeing her son cry, the mother approach John and hug him. She caress his back while saying, "It"s okay, I will be by your side supporting you even when you become old. Stop crying now or mom will cry too." She said, joking a little.
John chuckle a little and stop crying and calm down. This night John"s determination to give his mother a good life and becoming stronger went up another level.
