I was dreaming or was it? "Accept me" who is that? "I am a part of you" what? "You're just like me don't turn your back on me" it was regulus "you will end up the same as me " no i won't! "Just because you got a second chance doesn't mean you'll still chance you're still still pathetic and lazy you incompetent trash" no it felt as if something heavy grabbed my neck i couldn't breath. I jerked up gasping for air in a heavy sweat. It seems like it was just a nightmare "ah you're awake." i looked around to see a woman with short dark red hair and as it was the same red eyes staring at me almost like she was ripping me apart with her bare eyes standing beside iris. Who is this? "this is Charlotte a A rank adventurer who just got promoted to s rank" will she be teaching me "yes" iris says deadpan. "From now on everyday you will start gruel training starting now" now? "yes" …"try using mana. As i sit cross legged in the huge backlawn focusing on sensing something anything nothing happened "guess we got to start from step one" okay "first you will need to learn how mana works and how to move it and apply it to your body anything can become a weapon with mana even a person body can be lethal" just as i was thinking she applies it to her hand a silent hum as red aura appears on her hand and strikes the large dark brown tree leaving a large gash in the side of the tree 'this is just the basic use of mana it will have no form or element of course but if Regulus has enough potential you will be able to do this in 5 months if the person understands mana to a certain extent the user can even create detailed element mana blades out of thin air but only the continents strongest can do that" hm deep in my thoughts she was never mentioned in the novel until the end of the story but seeing her now was a total different experience."hey are you listening?" Huh yes I am! "Well that is the end of today's lesson tomorrow will mark the beginning of training, isn't that right" with a slight smirk on her face I let out a small sigh yes ma'am. After returning back to my quarters I can't even use mana thinking back to the beginning of the story there were six affinities: fire, earth, ice, water, lightning and lastly wind of course different races had special elements like gravity. It seems I can't understand anything as of right now I never thought it would be this hard. Sitting on the large fluffy bed I contracted on my body, of course Control over mana is typically gained through rigorous training, experience, and practice.
Apprentices often learn to harness small amounts of mana into their centre over long periods of time but I don't have time. I already have a bad reputation, making it worse won't help. Deep in my consciousness I considered what is the issue remembering Control refers to a magic user's ability to manipulate, shape, and direct mana when casting spells or using magical abilities. It encompasses both skill and knowledge about how to wield mana effectively through their centre. Centres have ranks to them and will change color based on magic prowess even can increase mana storage and mana use But harder said than done. "Are you awake regulus" opening my eyes to see iris staring at me intensely I must have fallen asleep rubbing my head I'm awake "oh good because it's morning and Charlotte has been waiting for 30 minutes" ah! Running to get dressed slipping in a black silvery sweatshirt with black and white pants after a long run to make it outside the first thing I see is the blazing sun "your late" sorry "only the first day but if your late again" I know " first thing you need to work on is your stamina you will run thirty laps with iris every time you stop i will add a lap" ah she's really crazy the heat must have fried her brain spilling into my head iris wasn't in her maid outfit but a silver tank top with black shorts fitting for her small body "stop staring at me" sorry. Taken to a large field with a river nearby "get going" running beside iris for the first few minutes I got tired fast. Was it because Regulus never trained or was it because of me? Letting that thought go I continue jogging a hour later she added lap after lap I thought I was gonna die iris looked fine jogging with just a few sweat drops falling down she's a unit I tell you "that's it for today" really " sword mastery now" handing me a wooden sword which I had no clue where she got it from "all you will do for now is swinging vertically horizontally and downward until the sun sets" as soon as Charlotte said that I started swinging " your form is off" grabbing my arm she fixes my terrific posture "like this" Charlotte was right this was much more doable after a while my lungs give out i fall on the ground gasping for air iris as usual looked good without breaking a sweat how is she doing this "that's it for today tomorrow same thing"
