Clyde took a deep breath and then exhaled. For today, he doesn't carry a sword because he intends to practice his skills using Mana.
He wanted to be able to cast magic attacks like the people in those training groups. But he didn't want to go and asked for their help for now thinking he wanted to figure out how to do it himself. Only later when he finds it difficult, then Clyde will ask them for help.
'But... how should I begin?'
Clyde concluded that the magic attacks he could do were the Skills he used before. But back then Clyde just had to think about activating that skill.
However, now Clyde doesn't think he can do that. He couldn't even fully summon his Character Information, so he shouldn't be able to use his Skills.
Except of course, maybe he still can.
Maybe he just had to focus his mind to use it. Just like when he could fight with a sword.
