After going through Professor Balder's infernal training I am happy to learn a training that will help me strengthen my body more at this moment I feel like shit I feel like all the fibers in my body have been torn into pieces and following the pain comes a burning .
The pain I feel easily outweighs the pain of using my elemental energy to strengthen my body. Now I will have to do this workout every day.
This exercise is not only physically exhausting as it proved a challenge to maintain a consistent flow of aura through my body I thought I had managed to control my aura in a state of physical limit but now I realized that I can barely maintain my aura during the training. body strengthening in the least difficulty.
To maintain the pressure of the exercise I will have to keep increasing the weights I use during the exercise every time I get used to the weight.
I hope to feel an improvement in my physique before the test because now I'm just sure that I will feel pain until it arrives.
But the good news is that doing Professor Hank's exercise is no longer necessary since my new exercise far outweighs his effect.
In the next few days my routine became very tiring to have time to study more runes I know that I should study them no more and as if studying them would have a lot of effect now because even I learn to record runes.
As the days went by, Professor Frey's class arrived.
When I checked in the classroom I realized the shocking number of students who survived the teacher's test despite not knowing the exact number of students that the class now had, the classroom boils down to five students counting on me removing the familiar faces of Sten and Ingredi to two more students I don't know.
Using my eyes I discover that both are magicians like Ingredi and one of them has the wind element and the second has two very rare elements. I recognized an element with a dark green color, the poison element plus his second element has a color that I have never seen and a type of violet my bluish I suspect he has the mental element he seems less solid when compared to the poison element.
A mental magician and very rare and joining with poison becomes a very dangerous magician but what surprises me and not having heard Erick gossip about a magician like that in our year, people with such an elemental combination should be the target of gossip unless he is hiding one of its elements.
My rambling is ended by the noise that the teacher made when entering the room.
"Good morning, my students."
He's strangely excited.
"To my surprise this year we have five students who are ready to complete my rune course, and very rare, I only had one year with such a large number of students in my seventeen years giving this course at the institute ."
"In this class we're going to start the real art of carving runes in the last ones you've learned about the types of runes and their meanings plus your theoretical knowledge only serves to get an idea of how a rune arrangement works, but only by recording runes you can measure how much of knowledge that you will gain about runes and where the flaws in your knowledge are. "
"I will show you a simple rune of heat."
Professor took a piece of metal and showed it to the technical engraving room at a very slow speed. I used my eyes to the maximum so as not to miss even a change in the process of engraving runes.
It was a very unique phenomenon and I have never seen anything like it before. There is nothing special about the physical part of the teacher's movements in his hand, he holds a common engraving tool. I could only see a calm and constant flow of mana from the teacher, more to my surprise, the teacher's mana did not enter the rune, he did not pass. of the engraving blade.
As the teacher's mana did not enter the rune, I ended up focusing my vision on the rune itself and noticed a small amount of mana that is present in the air entering the rune and it is bringing with it some energy from the fire element.
With the completion of the rune, the teacher removed the blade from the iron plate, plus the mana and elemental energy will continue to enter the rune.
"The process of burning a rune is as simple and fast as you will now see, but the difficulty of being a master of the runes is that for every rune you add the difficulty of completing the runic arrangement increases and the time spent on it as well ."
"You can approach and try to feel how the rune works I recorded a heat rune and it will start to heat the metal plate until the rune reaches its mana limit and so it will stabilize the temperature and over time the rune it will lose its effect and the energies it has gathered will disperse. "
Approaching the engraved rune to see it at a shorter distance, I reflected on the process of creating a rune.
First the mana and possibly the elemental energy of the one who is engraving the rune does not create or feed the rune, but attracts mana and elemental energy from nature, probably an environment with more mana and with the element of the property of the rune should help to create a rune. stronger and more stable .
The understanding that the person who is engraving the rune has on him must influence the ability that his mana has in attracting the mana and elements of nature that create and feed the rune.
As I reflected on the information about creating runes that I read in books and with the information that I got from watching the teacher create a rune, Ingredi started asking the teacher questions.
"Professor, I read in books on the making of runes that the mana of the person engraving the rune cannot feed him, but I realized that you used mana on the engraving blade because you did it?"
"Well observed Ingredi although you noticed my mana on the engraving blade you missed the point that my mana didn't come off the blade I used my mana for the purpose of serving as an intermediary between my will and the mana of nature and the wing will feed the rune and will guide the elemental energy compatible with the rune for it to function properly. "
"As you already know, the greater your understanding of the properties of a rune, the greater effect the rune will have, but your will has to reach and influence the mana of nature and to do this you must use your mana as an intermediary for your mana control and essential for her to be able to convey her will clearly. "
"Now I will explain step by step so it will be your turn to try to carve a rune."
"First you guided your mana or in the case of warriors and your aura to your engraving blade after it is full of mana you should direct your intention to rune the most common technique and visualize the rune in your mind and concentrate on its function. "
"Let's use the heat rune as an example, you will imagine it in your mind and print your idea of heat on it. I start to remember the feeling of heat and imagine the rune in that state so I concentrate on visualizing the rune accumulating heat in it with this clear image in my mind and I send my visualization to my mana that is on the blade and I record the rune and so my will is printed on the engraved rune and if you can get your will to attract the mana of nature you will be able to create a functional rune. "
"Before you start I want to make it clear that magicians who use mana have no advantage for warriors who use aura to use mana to record you will have less trouble communicating with nature's mana, but the aura carries and expresses the will of the warrior better than mana so you can see that there are advantages and disadvantages between using aura or mana, but they will not prevent you from becoming rune masters. "
"You can begin your attempts to engrave the heat rune on an iron plate."
With the explanation of the teacher I understood better the process of engraving a rune and I feel confident in being able to engrave a rune.
Taking the material to record the rune, I go to a table away from my colleagues, tranquility and the key to be able to focus on a task.
I clear my mind and regulate my breathing.
I start with guiding my aura to the engraving blade so I start visualizing the rune in my mind and with it I focus on the idea of warmth I start with the feeling of it, but I add my visualization to images of my understanding of what warmth is with the image of the rune draining the energy around it and thereby increasing the kinetic strength of the molecules that form the rune i transmit my visualization to my aura and start engraving the rune on the metal plate i imagine my mental rune becoming the rune on the metal plate.
This long process took me about five minutes when I finished recording the rune. I opened my eyes and checked to see if it was absorbing mana and the elemental energy of fire.
To my surprise she was absorbing a ridiculous amount of mana from nature I could barely see her just paying close attention to the mana surrounding the rune I could see that she was going towards the rune I didn't even notice the teacher who was positioned behind mine chair .
"This is a good result for your first attempt Ulric you didn't even make a mistake in the shape of the rune, but you should improve the finish of the rune the start of it can be smoother and you should train in the stability of your hand your cut has not yet is even enough your blade is leaning towards your body when you started the rune and in the middle of it it is already leaning in the opposite direction from the beginning you must keep the tip of the blade at an angle of ninety grains in relation to the surface you're recording. "
"With practice you can fix this error, this may seem simple, but you are recording on a flat surface a magic tool is not usually flat, but rather curved and the line of a quality rune should always have a right angle to the engraved surface. important is not its depth, but its conformity. "
"I can feel very little of your will in your rune and this is an impressive result for your first attempt with more practice. I have no doubt that you will have a functional rune."
"Keep trying and at the end of the class I will check your progress."
Trying to fix my mistakes I keep recording heat runes until the end of the class using my eyes I managed to notice my progress My last rune was already absorbing mana at twice the speed of my first attempt.
"I see that you have improved the uniformity of your Ulric trait very well keep practicing for the next class take at least two hours and I believe that next week you can create a rune that achieves the minimum of functionality to be considered a functional rune. "
