Chapter 51 - The High Elf and the Special Eyes
Nathan Evenhart:
Sitting on the grass in the garden, basking in the sunlight, I was trying to master my wind element. The teacher had instructed me to give it a shot, but I had tried everything. It felt like my wind element didn’t even exist. To be honest, I couldn’t sense the wind mana the way I could feel the thunder mana. I only knew I had this element because of her stone.
“Almost there…” I muttered, focusing the pure mana in my hand.
Very few mages can utilize pure mana because it’s far more difficult and inferior to elemental mana, but Adrihna had told us it’s an excellent method for expanding mana channels and increasing the output roots. I should have stopped this exercise and gone back to practicing like Chloe, but the teacher insisted that I needed to force the wind mana to manifest.
“It’s useless,” I said, staring at my hand.
A little ahead of me, a beautiful High Elf was reading in the sunlight.
“Adrihna, why is my wind mana defective? I’ve tried everything, and it just doesn’t work.”
She lowered her book slightly, and I caught a glimpse of her face through her monocle.
“Keep going, my apprentice,” she said, raising the book back up.
I sighed and focused on my hand again, trying to force the mana in its pure form. It was much more complicated. It was like switching from lifting 10 kilos to 100 kilos. I had to make a significant effort to extract every drop of pure mana, which meant my roots still needed to grow and develop further. It would get easier as my mana channel expanded.
“Is there any explanation for why I have this defect? Chloe can use Wind easily and without any difficulty.”
The teacher lowered her book again and looked at me.
“You were simply born with a slight deficiency in your mana channels. I had the same thing when I was young. Don’t worry; it will pass as you grow. My method will help you deal with this deficiency and try to speed up the process.”
Adrihna Akonium:
My apprentice seems to have accepted my explanation and returned to training his wind element. As a precaution, I’ll keep my suspicions about why he has a defect in his Mana Gem to myself.
I turn the page to resume reading, but the thoughts return to me.
I turn the pages and quickly glance at the small boy training his element.
I let out a small laugh.
I stop laughing when I remember my age.
“I think I did it! I created a breeze!” he said, celebrating.
I lower my book, revealing only my eyes to hide a smile.
“Keep it up, my apprentice. Focus the pure mana and transform it into its elemental form outside your body. Until your deficiency is resolved, you’ll have to use this slow and weak method, but it will be advantageous once your deficiency passes.”
