-The mana sensing training really helps with controlling and the usage of world mana. Because world mana isn't imprinted its barely noticeable, if you have an innate ability to feel mana (I'm still not sure if it's possible to see it). That probably makes it so hard to use. I'm really lucky that I decided to train mana sensibility or my attempt at fusion magic would be a failure. I should really keep, that I can use world mana, a secret. When I remember correctly Mr. Cacklemi said that it's already a ten out of then on the difficulty scale to just use it not taking the time needed into account. I shouldn't be too greedy and be happy that I can use it without the constant risk of creating a sleeping spell. (Spell created with world mana, thought to be failed but hasn't and collects mana for a long time and when it activates it has devasting potential.)
The food was delicious so now a short nap and afterwards back to training. Zero wake me in 30 min and if anyone comes in a 10-meter radius around me. Good night myself. –
[Timer set. Radius set.]
With that I lend on a tree and closed my eyes.
…
…
[Time is over]
-Hmm, I don't wanna, just 5 min more. –
…
[5 minutes are over.]
-No just a bit longer. –
[Define time.]
…
…
…
-Hmmm, WAAAA!!!! Why is it dark? Oh no I slept the whole afternoon no no no this is bad! Zero how much time is left till lunch? –
[23 minutes]
-I should manage to get back home in that time. Seriously why didn't I just get up, this happened in my last life too, most of the time sight. My bad habits don't vanish just because of a new life. My trainings time just disappeared, tomorrow I'll get up after my nap. –
I ran home and entered the dining hall. Anthony was already there.
"Hello, why weren't you at the library earlier?"
"Because I don't have any lessons for this week so, I decided to go to the forest and practice magic."
I sat down at the table.
"About the forming of the fire rune…."
Anthony stared to ask me some questions about the elemental runes.
-This is great. Because I can help him with magic, I don't feel like I'm leeching off of him. It's a give-and-take, a balance. There is nothing worse than having the feeling of being the only one who receives something. Feeling like a leech always hurts my self-worth. –
After dinner I trained in my room and went to sleep.
-Something like too much sleep doesn't exist. In my old live I sometimes slept the whole weekend and during the week I got way too little sleep. At least in this live I have a sleep pattern and not a sleep freestyle. I only hope that it stays this way. –
The next day went like the day before in the morning I trained and in the afternoon I slept.
-No, not again. I probably shouldn't take a nap anymore. But they are just so awesome, I love naps. This'll be hard. –

Sunday evening
I tried to take a nap once more, but it ended the same way afterwards I just used charge.
-I found out what most elements enchant the problem that remains is that it takes way too long to use fusion magic. The only solution is to get better with world mana and train fusion magic.
In two days is my birthday and tomorrow start the lessons with Mr. Cacklemi again. Even though I wanna learn about this world I don't like school especially if I'm the only student. Not that I've found and happy memories about school from my past life, but I'd still like to try and make friends in this world. But I won't just trust anyone. Even though I try not to be trusting I'll be just that. But maybe it'll help to constantly remind me about this. Sigh.
I probably should be going home. –
I took my basket and made my way back home

The next day in the morning Anthony taught me afterwards I had lunch and went to the classroom.
In the classroom
-I'm here earlier like always. Time to train mana sensibility. –
Knock knock
Mr. Cacklemi enters the room and sits at the other chair.
"Good afternoon."
I greet him too and made a curtesy.
He takes a seat in the other chair.
"Today I will explain to you the basics of magical beasts."
I like always, have my hand on the book, which lies on the table.
"First there are normal animals. They are not intelligent and can not use magic. Some animals manage to evolve, afterwards they are called magical beasts, They have the intelligence of an adult human and can use between three to five elements. They mostly look like normal animals. But people trained in magic can feel the difference."
-It takes more than to cast a few spells to be called a mage. –
"If a magical beast evolves once more, they are called evolved magical beasts or evolved beasts. Afterwards their appearance changes. Afterwards they are able to use all elements. More powerful ones have the ability to change into human form.
The last evolution is called mythical beast. During this evolution an evolved magical beast can consciously change their appearance and get upgraded in physical strength, magical power and intelligence.
Dragons are the most dangerous ones, because the first mythical beast was a wyvern. Most people think that a wyvern is a lesser dragon but that is wrong.
If an evolved animal gets pups than they are one evolution less than the parents. For example, if a mythical beast gets pups the are evolved magical beasts.
In the dragons case if a dragon or a wyvern gets pups, they are always wyvern and can only reshape their body when they evolve. That is also the reason why most think that wyvern are lesser dragons but in realty it was not a mythical beast but an evolved magical beast that was encountered. Because it is impossible to encounter a dragon that is an evolved magical beast, they are thought of as the stronger ones. –
"Any questions?"
"Yes, two. When a mythical or evolved best other than a dragon gets pups what are they?"
"Normally what the parent or the ancestor, was before the evolution."
"What happens with two different magical beast or an evolved beast and mythical beast get pups?"
"If two different species have pups than they get a mix of both in case they have different evolution levels it concerns the one with the lesser one. "
With that he bid his farewells and left.
-I just hope that the lessons continue to be about magic, I really don't want any more lessons about nobles, etiquette or dancing. –

The next day, my birthday. In the dining hall.
"Good morning Anthony."
"Good morning Naomi. Happy Birthday."
"Thanks."
I sat on a chair and started my breakfast.
"Do you have time afterwards to teach me?"
"Yes. By the way because of the deal with the spatial object, you won't get any presents from father."
"I can live with that. I'm just happy to get one."
…
…
At the trainings ground
I already walked on the grass to start with the training
"Aren't you coming?" I turned around after noticing that Anthony was still standing on the path.
"Come here first. I need to give you something, afterwards we can start the training."
I looked at him questioningly but went to him nonetheless.
-I thought that I won't get any presents because of the deal? –
When I was right before him, he gave me a box.
"A birthday present?"
"Yes."
"Thanks." I smiled, took it and opened the box.
When I opened the box and looked inside, I saw the daggers I admired in Anthony's room.
"A… Are you sure?"
"Yes, I can see your eyes sparkling and, in my room, they would only collect dust, I prefer that they are used."
I put the box down and hugged Anthony.
"Thanks this is an awesome present."
"I'm still not comfortable when you hug me. Besides you are already good enough to start training with two daggers but the daggers in the storage are to heavy for you to be able to handle them with only one had."
"You'll get used to it. Really, then will you teach me today how to use two daggers?"
"I'm not looking forward to it tough. Yes."
I let go of him and ran back to the grass to start the lesson.
"Hurry, we only have till lunch."
"Sigh, it's not too different from using only one dagger…"
Anthony explained and taught me till lunch.
***
[One hour left till lunch.]
-Already? I don't wanna end it just jet. –
"We'll stop here for today. You have lessons in the afternoon after all."
"But, but… sight alright. Thanks for the daggers and for teaching me."
He nodded and I took my leave. I activated Charge.
-Because of the training with fusion magic I got better with charge. These daggers are really awesome, they are light and fit my hand perfectly. Anthony did say that they can change size, how awesome is that? –
I hummed the remaining way.
