1# Training Day
...
"Raise up! Kill those Trogs, by the glory of Mother Alg...", the music was stopped by hand hitting the bracelet. After remember the reason for she to set up an alarm, a body jumped from bed. Korvaurora is already wearing loose clothing to train, she put a sports shoes who was at foot of the bed, get out of the room, go down the stairs, drank a cup of milk and took a fruit on her way to the door.
At first day after she trained, when Korvauroea woke up she barely could move her body members and even had to miss a scholl. In that day and the next, when Korvaurora tried to move, she felt that her tendons were trying to get out of the bones and that her muscles were all weak and in pain. Sonya didn't get mad, she just laughed at the stupidity that Korvaurora did to her own body.
While Running to warm up in her way to the park, the sun has not yet risen. On a dimly lit street Korvaurora bit off a part of the fruit and thought, "Stupid geezer, only took me four days to recover enough to train, not five. Don't act like you know everything... although my body still aching a bit and, by what i read, will take more than a week to me be hundred percent again... this not prove anything".
Arriving on the Park, the seven minutes jogging that she did on the way made Korvaurora breathless. Using the lesson that last four days teached her, she took it easy. Korvaurora drank water from a nearby drinking fountain, waited two minutes until she could breathe normally and went to the running track.
Now Korvaurora understand why most renowned magicians recommends have a good cardio. It helps your body became more active. Facilitates the mana density training, because your mana system became more active too. Besides. The benefits of endorphin helping in their studies, many statistics point that is more valuable spent time in a morning run than forcibly studying, those mage who do a small walk learn thirty percent faster than those who don't.
The Park's running track where Korvaurora goes has a extension of 600 meters and forms a circle in the center of the park. When she was doing the first lap, because of the running track passes by all the park she can see where the seniors play their card games and they yet aren't there.
On the first two hundred meters Korvaurora was jogging, from there she started to feel a little out of breath. She tried to control her breathing in the most appropriate way so her muscles still getting oxygen, and it put a burden in her mental energy, she thought, "It's just a nuisance, it can't physically stop me".
After more hundred meters. her legs muscles start to burn, and some muscles from the shoulders became tired of the natural swing that arms do while a human run. Yet she pushed herself to keep running, "it's normal became used to it. Ehh?...I only did half a lap?".
Two hundred meters later, Korvaurora's lungs are aching and her body cries out for her to stop.The idea of stopping is so tempting that it made her think, that this is how she would feel if she were thirsty in the desert and if she just stopped running, she would have water. But remember Martre and children's death didn't let her stop. Korvaurora thought, "This must be how dying should feel, but i ain't dying... right?".
When Korvaurora arrived at the red mark on the ground, where she started her run, she was practically limping. Passing the red mark she lay right there, on the asphalt."I can't let just six hundred meters defeat me", Korvaurora thought. She took a while to get up again. As much as the hard floor was comfortable she can't stay there, while she still needing training. Even not being able to run anymore, she took two more laps just walking before trying to run a lap once more. Korvaurora was incapable of even complete half of a lap running, she vomited some of her breakfast.
Seeing familiar a fruit's pieces on the ground, Korvaurora took it as a tip of her body and just walked until one hour, of since she started running, was completed on her bracelet's watch. In this time the card players arrived and cheered her a bit, beside john that appointed how she 'was walking wrong'.
At the end of her run, Korvaurora thought, "Even doing it as hard to me vomit, it still took me one hour to do 8.2 km. So this is the price of my sedentary lifestyle... i'm to far from him! Ahh".
Before she learn any spell. Korvaurora need to increase the quantity of mana in her body until she reaches Heart as Heart, or learn a spell would be a waste of time without discover her mana affinity. On her researches she learned the most common way of accumulate mana. Its necessary to control the mana that still in your body to stay there, at the same time that you absorb consciously more of the atmosphere, and do it continuously until you don't have more enough mental energy to control mana. This process make a person's mana channels grow larger and with time a body will get used to having more mana in it.
Korvaurora got away from the elderly, sited under a tree and started her train in the ways of magic.. She closed her eyes and tried to felt the mana inside her. This time is different from when she cast a spell, usually she just commands the mana to get out of her and out of her body she controls with more attention. For Korvaurora using her conscience to manipulate mana is like having another arm, she have a easy time doing this because humans have the best ability to control mana of all sentients species.
Concentring her councienc on her body, Korvaurora can tell that mana is there somewhere, but she can't tell where. She reading that is normal be incapable to sense her mana flux in the first try, and did not enter despair. She stayed still, concentrated in her body and continued to take deep breaths. After ten minutes, she was almost sleeping, when she almost fell on its side because of sleep she felt something and became more awake.
There was her mana flux, constantly flowing in cycles within your body, the flow direction seems to be the opposite of the bloodstream. With the fear of losing the sensation of it, Korvaurora just analyzed this for two minutes. Thinking that she got an grasp in how it works, she slowly let her consciousness get the control of the mana. Controlling all her mana give Korvaurora a awareness about her whole body, that she never had before.
Feeling used to the new feeling, Korvaurora started the next stop. She concentrated in stopping the mana of get out her body. At first she tried doin it in all her body at once, in some parts of her body the manna stopped getting out but in compensation on others the quantity getting out doubled. Korvaurora thought, "Apparently i need more practice before doing in all my body".
After half an hour trying a terribly headache attacked her, with her head beating at the same rhythm of her heart, she felt herself having two hearts. At the same time that Korvaurora felt the limit of her mental energy, her bracelet took an alarm, she stopped her training and thought, "I almost forgot about school. Today i did not even controlled my mana right, make it grow in quantity will take some time".
...
At School was normal, her friend complained on how she did not played with them since the beginning of the week and someone framed martre to Luana be angry at him. Eventually they fought and... of course that Martre won. What surprised Korvaurora is that Luana seems to have reached 'Hear as Heart' and already be able to cast some spell of her attribute.
"Probably Zaaz and Luana are secondary characters who support Martre. The Fighter and The Witch, how it could not be so obvious? I need to hurry up", thought Korvaurora.
At night Korvaurora continued training to increase her mana, she succeed in stop all her right arm of losing mana and in the times where she was resting she watched mages fighting in tournaments.
