Before the others can move towards Amber and Beir some of the local guards appear and say, "You all know you shouldn't be fighting outside of designated places."
One of the guards follows it up with, "You are also all ganging up on two injured people. They are even supporting each to walk out. You all have no courage."
A guard steps forwards and laughs, "Amber, now I wasn't expecting to see you injured in a fight at the school."
One of the other guards says, "Wait you know her? How come."
"She asks to spar me from time to time. I'm not the only one. But I am one of the few that get stationed in different sections of the city all the time. The guards in the south western district all know her."
Another comes forward and laughs, "Beir also asks to spar guards. Well at least in the north eastern district."
Looking at the other students the guards all laugh. The teacher from before looks at the scene and says, "How low can you all get. First you avoid Amber during the tournament, and afterwards when she looks exhausted and week you have to gang up on her. The thirty of you surrounding them will have another 1000 point deficit. This behavior is unacceptable."
"I could still fight and beat them," Amber protests.
"You are injured. Go heal up. This isn't even a proper place to conduct battles," one of the guards says.
With a sigh Amber and Beir slowly walk out the school. Garth appears in front of her and picks her up, "Does it hurt anywhere?"
While Beir's mother walks to him and says, "My boy you're hurt. Come on lets get going home."
She grabs him and quickly walks off. She pushes several of the other parents and guardians to the side. Amber looks at that and sighs. Garth notices and says, "So he is the one that caused you to become this injured during the tournament. Well there is always next time. Now lets go home."
Garth carries her back to the house while the rest follow behind him. Wondering how Amber managed to stimulate mana to do more then condense into a core, they try several different methods.
Failing to grasp something. They stop and ponder what they could be missing. Garth notices and waits for them to catch up. He asks Amber how the fight went. Explaining the fight to Garth, Amber smiles.
Reaching the end of the fight, Garth smiles. With a chuckle he realizes why they stopped. Getting up, he starts to head back home. Reaching the house Garth has one of the maids go and grab a medical kit.
Taking some things out he soaks a rag in some water. Cleaning off her wounds, he starts to rub a gel over her cuts. As he is bandaging up her injuries the rest arrive home. They nod at each other and try to stimulate at least one mana core.
Looking at them trying he smiles. Finishing up bandaging Amber up he has her take a potion. He gets up and goes inside. Amber thinks, 'do we really need a mana heavy place to start to form more mana cores? I don't think so. Since Garth would be mad if I went to join them instead of letting my body heal up, I might as well try to form more mana cores here.'
As she closes her eyes, she tries to feel for mana in the air. After a few minutes of trying she senses the mana. However next to the mana is a strange energy she doesn't understand. Leaving it alone she directs the mana towards herself.
As Amber is doing that her siblings are trying to figure out how to utilize their mana core. Looking upon them Garth smiles. As he cooks he notices a slight steam coming off of Amber, 'so she has noticed the ambient mana around her. At least her injuries will heal up faster.'
Smiling Amber notices another core be formed. Beofre continuing on she sees, how she has all these cores centered around her heart and thinks, 'maybe I could try to form a core around all of them and make it a contained universe of sorts.'
With that thought she goes to make a larger mana core. While she does so her siblings look at her and notice the small vortex's under her nose. Coming to a realization they sit down and start to try and form more cores.
Now one may wonder why Amber hasn't made mana cores centered on other body parts yet. She wanted to strengthen the heart to try and increase her own regeneration rate. So she focused her effort on her heart.
After two hours Amber manages to make one blanket over all the ones around her heart. With a smile she passes out. Garth sends a butler out. The butler picks Amber up and puts her to bed.
After a little while the others manage to form another core. With smiles they continue to form cores. One by one the pass out as they form more cores. Just like with Amber he sends someone out to get them.
After a while Amber wakes up. Seeing Nyx and Electra asleep she assumes its the next morning, Before she could wake them up Garth pulls her out. Telling her that she just took a nap she realizes what happened and smiles.
Going back outside after eating she starts to form another core. But this time with the thought that she should strength her defense she focuses the mana cores across the skin. As she continues to generate more mana cores her siblings wake up and go do the same thing.
Amber goes to get up and tries to form more mana cores as she does. However this breaks her concentration on her breath and the mana. The mana stops flowing into a new core. With a saddened expression she goes inside washes off and notices that her body has healed faster then what she had expected it to.
Smiling she goes back outside and trains for a little while. While doing some light physical training she notices that her siblings continue to form mana cores. As she is out running she finds herself running in a different direction then usual. Without thinking to much about it, she continues to run.
