The mundane way of absorbing mana can't compare to this! It multiplied my speed by 2 or 3 folds!
--------
Heh.. I guess I took too long analyzing the skills I got.. it's evening already..
I looked at the clock, and it was 7:41 PM.
BAM!
" Young master! " said Selena with a straight face despite barging into my room.
" WUH!? HUH!??! Selena? " I looked at the direction of the sound, with wide-open eyes.
" Young master, I am here to deliver a letter from Mentor Leon. " said Selena, still holding on a straight face.
Jeez.. this girl.. how does she hold that face despite ramming her way into my room without any notice?
" A.. Ahem- Alright, you can place the letter down on my desk. " I said.
" Very well. " said Selena, as she approached my desk and laid the letter down.
" I shall take my leave now, young master. " said Selena while taking a deep bow.
" Thank you, take care. " I said.
I opened the envelope and readout,
" Howdy young master! I finished preparing the training plan. So starting from tomorrow we will resume training. From : Leon "
I took a deep breath and..
I'm probably dead tomorrow, aren't I?
Remembering that flash of my mentor's malicious smile sent chills down my spine.
I mean.. I have a new sword technique I have can try out tomorrow so it shouldn't be that bad.. right?
You know what, I have to unlock around another 3-4 mana veins for that extra boost in power. I'll probably die from exhaustion without mana helping sustain my stamina.
Okay, before I waste any more time let's start mana absorption meditation.
I quickly sat down and started using my new technique to bring mana into my body.
[ 2 hours later.. ]
Phewww--
I think.. that should be enough to at least unlock 3 mana veins.
Nano, is it possible to unlock 3 new mana veins with the amount of mana I have currently?
< It is possible. >
Okay, unlock the mana vein located at my head and knees.
< Affirmative. >
I felt my mana rush out of my heart once again and went straight towards my head.
The mana started flooding into my brain and hitting the mana vein that is present there.
I felt my brain go numb for a bit and almost fell on back my back.
Hoooh.. the vein is opened, one down, 2 more to go.
The mana that remained in my brain started flowing down to my knee joints. Where the 2 other mana veins were located at. Reaching my Pelvis, it split into 2 mana waves and rammed into the mana veins at my knees.
THUMP! THUMP!
Ha.. finally done. I think I know why nano manages to use so little mana to unlock a new mana vein. I guess I'll try it myself the next time I try to break through into the Apprentice Swordsman realm.
What time is it..?
I glanced at the clock | 10:11 PM |
I guess it's time to sleep.. gotta prepare for the hell I'll be going through tomorrow.
[ Morning ]
[ Day 4 ]
Ughh.. morning already?
I slowly got out of bed and stretched out.
Yawwwwwwwns*
I guess today will be another round of training huh..?
As usual, I notified Selena to come to dress me up and I went and had breakfast with my family.
" How's your training going son? " my dad asked as we were eating.
" Fu~ fu~ let us in on your progress son~ " my mom said in a teasing tone.
My siblings heard my parents ask about my training and those two secretly started paying close attention to what I was about to say.
" I managed to unlock 7 of my mana veins and managed to comprehend one sword technique and one mana absorption technique. " I said proudly.
My family looked at me with shock, staring at me. If their eyeballs popped out they would still be staring at me.
" Coughs* I see.. it seems we got another genius in our family. " said my father.
I could feel his excitement in the aura around him even though he was suppressing it and is holding back from shouting.
" Oh my.. it seems that Adel with catch up to you both soon, Adam, Ellie~ " said my mom jokingly.
" NO! " screamed both of them in harmony.
" I won't let my own little brother beat me in swordsmanship! What good am I as an elder brother if I am beaten by my own little bro? " said my brother.
" Eeeehhh!? But I'm a magician, Adel is practicing swordsmanship! I mean.. unlocking 7 mana veins at that small time frame definitely was better than my record but.. I have a good brain! I can remember spells faster than other people! " said my sister while pouting.
" Haha! Don't worry we know, we know. I also have expectations that you'll achieve marvelous things in the future. " said my father while looking at Adam and Ellie.
" I'm done with my breakfast, I'll go relax a little bit and get ready for the training session I have with mentor Leon this afternoon at the training ground. " I said, getting ready to leave the table.
" Train well son~ "
I left the dining chamber and went to my room and waited till it was afternoon.
[ A while later.. ( Afternoon time ) ]
I leisurely got out of my chair, previously reading a book on it.
" I believe it's time. " I said.
Dressing up and packing my wooden sword I rushed to the training grounds.
" Young master! Are you ready for the training schedule? " said Leon with an evil smile on his smug face.
