Garion leaned back with a lazy smirk, waving his hand like the whole topic was nothing.
"Don't stress about what's 'evil' or not. As long as your clan, your family, and your people stay safe... What else matters?"
Raviel lowered his head, thinking for a moment. "…Yeah. When you put it that way, it makes sense."
Garion's grin widened.
"And besides… body knowledge is only the start."
He reached into the shelves and pulled out two thick books and shoved one into each of their hands.
Raviel blinked. "Huh? What's this?"
Aveline frowned. "It feels… heavy?"
Garion tapped the covers.
"That is the God Physique Cultivation Manual."
Both Raviel and Aveline froze.
"What the hell? A cultivation manual? YOUR manual?"
Garion nodded casually, like he had just handed them a cookbook.
"Yep. My real one. The actual guide on how I cultivated myself into this monster you see standing here."
Their jaws dropped.
