"Silly child, you don't have to go seek Master Winston because I doubt you have a way to find him right?"
"You see, every magic skill a person creates is a unique one. Two people may cast identical skills but you can always see a difference."
"Just come with me first and let's get to your new home for now. There I'll explain further how you can create your own skill. Of course, you must know our laws here so let's discuss it briefly later too."
"Lady Kristine, thank you for helping me and letting me feel at home. Even though it's a request from the old man, you still helped me without hesitation. I'll repay both of you in the future."Julian smiled at her and even though what he said was a bit delusional for his age, Kristine really felt the determination and ambition on his voice. She smiled back and patted Julian's right shoulder.
====================================
Blue Heaven Company Headquarters.
Kristine guided Julian to his room located at the fifth floor of the building and left him there. Apparently, there are only ten people staying in the building and the other attendees were all hired people who are living elsewhere.
Julian had nothing all coming into town and what he had claimed on the ceremony were kept on his ring so he just scanned his room and locked it before going back down. Kristine is waiting there for him in the first floor. She led him to the basement and unlocked the first door on her left. The key she used was a black card with some kind of tribal design imprinted on it.
"This our first dimensional storage room my great grandfather bought when he was alive." She opened the door and walked in with Julian and what welcomed them is a desolate room the size of a football playing field.
"This room only stores things and not like the dimensional storage rooms that we rented which are uhm way better than this. The only thing good about it is the space it provides. Back in the day, this room was packed with different things like minerals, gems and equipment with pretty decent value."
"Our company collects it's inventory from the dungeons close to town and we sell it upstairs in the first to the third floors. Then we rent the upper rooms to our loyal dungeon seekers. Please use this room to create your skill until the day of your test. We will just use the rented ones for the new batch of inventory."
"Lady Kristine, thank you".
"Okay let me give you hints on how to create your skill. The three things you need to know: bank, load and shell."
"The facilitator already told me about the shell and load thing, Lady Kristine, however, he just mentioned the 'bank' but never elaborated it further. Hmm, he also told me the advancement requirements from the level-one apprentice stage to the level-ten."
"Then, this will be a bit easy now to explain. Bank is the term we use that refers to the unit measurement of power that supplies the load and shell. Basically, the mana you can gather in your body is the primary bank while the mage clothes that you wear and other equipments are the secondary bank."
"So how do I measure my bank, shell and load capacity?"
"Well to accurately measure your shell and load capacity, we need a totem for that and I don't have one at the moment. However, I don't want you to use this method. I want you to try the Trial and Error method. That will hugely improve your abilities and state of mind. You already tested your bank capacity on the awakening ceremony. Just multiply the highest level of your dominant magic element by 1000 and a little bit over that will be your estimated overall primary bank capacity."
_Shit then I have more than 900000 worth of bank capacity and Jolly have over a million. What the hell._ Julian is really shocked by the revelation Kristine brought to him.
"Listen child, you already can see the flow of mana then the first thing you need to do is to gather it inside an imaginary circle infront of you. Make the circle bigger to accommodate the mana you are gathering and you must do this until you can't pull in anymore mana.
Measure the diameter of the circle in inches. You can be sure that every inch of it is equivalent to 50,000 banks. You can already calculate your overall power like this and you will see that it is just the same of what I told you just a while ago."
"So if my dominant magic element reached level 50 then my my overall bank capacity will be 50000 and the circle that I can form is exactly 1 inch in diameter."
"Yeah, that's exactly right. Just try this for now for two days alloting 30 minutes in between to imagine what skill will you create. Then just do it twice a day after two days pass. Doing that will help you temper your state of mind when you are ready to go out there. If you do it like this for the successive levels, then I promise you that the benefits will be huge."
