Their mouths were left wide open when they saw the wall crumble.Loads of questions flooded their minds some being,what just happened?How did he do that?They became so excited to learn how to do that.So they were taken out of the palace and into the smoky woods by Sir Rani for appropriate learning.Before leaving, Glen was given a normal knight sword since he was yet to find the one he was given by his mother.
"Are you ready?This will be the easiest dark knight skill you'll ever learn.First you'll need to activate the mana in you.Just sit down in a monk position,close your eyes and relax.Leave the working for me."
Doing what they were told, they had all relaxed.Rani went behind each one of them at a time as he pressed both the palms of his hands on their backs."Control that feeling towards your chest and get used to that feeling.It will help you activate your mana any other time."He said to CM.She actually got control of her mana,which was same for Lucy.Getting to Glen,Rani was debating in his mind."Will the same thing happen again?"He pressed his palms on the boy's back and while focusing,he was relieved that it didn't happen.
Glen felt a rising energy in him that was overtaking his whole body,but remembered what Rani said."I need to focus it towards my chest."He told himself as he focused and took control of the feeling.He condensed in his core,that in his black vision while closing his eyes,he saw an orange ball of energy.It wasn't that big as it swirled and moved parts of its surface.
[YOU HAVE ACTIVATED YOUR HUMAN MANA]
[WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONVERT IT TO DEMON ENERGY?]
[YES]
[NO]
"You can open your eyes now and stand up."Rani spoke.Opening his eyes he realised that Rani and the other two were a distance away from him with their weapons out.Standing up,he pulled the sword he had from his left sheath and walked towards the rest.
"This is where now you'll be able to learn what I've been telling you.Remember the feeling.That is is the feeling that you will concentrate on your weapons to produce an invisible attack.Mana is an energy that can be activated by any beast that lives.So it's not only humans who can activate it."
Rani did the same thing he had done back at the hall.Five huge trees were chopped down instantly.Seeing this,they tried with their weapons with such anxiety and excitement."Remember to relax."
A loud bang was heard from the side.Turning around, Everyone could see two huge trees down.Her hands were sweating intensely as her two handguns were pointed towards the scene of two missing trees."I did it,I did it!"Lucy jumped all around in enjoyment.What she just did was focus on her acquired mana on her two handguns,then pulled the trigger shooting two blasts crashing the trees.
Another bang was heard and it came from Glen.Three trees were down.And lastly,two bangs came from CM's sword.Six trees in total fell down.Rani was amazed by this,the way she made two attacks at the same time,it was fascinating.
"Am grateful that you did it quickly all of you.I will just let the three of you to continue training while am having a rest."Rani grinned as he went a distance and then lay down flat on the ground sleeping.Just minutes later,the ground was slightly vibrating as loud howls were heard.
"RANI?!WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"Glen shouted as he prepared.Rani didn't even twitch a muscle,he was snoring in his dreamlands with a smile still on his face."IS THIS HOW HE F*CKING SLEEPS!?"
"We'll have to work together to get ourselves out of this one.Remember the trainings we had when we were recruited."CM got incharge of the other two.They dashed towards the sleeping man and formed a circle with him sleeping in the centre.This formation was effective as they could protect each other's back.
From the thick woods a large demon crawled in at a fast speed stopping just meters from the group.It gave off fierce growls as it slowly crouched towards them.It was a large demon wolf with no fur on its skin.It was black in colour with thick muscles.Its eyes were glowing red.
"ATTACK!!"CM ordered as they turned to face the wolf.It leapt into the air then opened up its mouth shouting countless rings of air attacks from its mouth as it howled.Lucy shot normal metallic bullets but realized that they did next to nothing against the wolf's attacks that were coming at them."USE YOUR MANA!"They all started shooting and slashing the rings stopping them them on their tracks causing them to disperse.
The wolf had landed,it ran fast to them with the intension of snapping off their bones.CM focused on her sword and then released two sword slashes that the wolf couldn't see.It stopped as it felt intense pain on its body as there were large deep cuts on its skin.Preparing another slash,she diagonally slashed the air,but unexpectedly,no attacks came off."Why can't I attack?"Focusing again,CM realised that there was no energy inside.
It was now Glen and Lucy who could only attack.Strike after strike.The demon couldn't stand all the pain as it turned to escape."You are not going anywhere!"Glen yelled as he jumped up with great power causing the ground to slightly crack.He spun around and gave many large curve swings of his sword.The creature stopped,then its body was divided into several parts that fell on the ground.The demon was no more.
There was one thing that made Glen to be very aggressive on killing the creature.And he gave himself a half smile as he looked at the screen infront of him.

He looked at the separated body parts and noticed a spherical red crystal that was on the part that was supposed to be the chest. He walked towards it and took the crystal on his hands.It properly fit on his palms.
[DO YOU WISH TO ABSORB THIS CRYSTAL]

His mind was brought back to reality when he heard someone clapping behind him."Good job you three,I never expected for you to work together."Rani smiled at them.
"You mean this was a test?"Lucy asked annoyed.
"Yes.Did you expect me to teach you something and let you be? That's ridiculous! Unfortunately today's training is over. Tomorrow do as you wish then come the day after.And before I forget,the reason why CM was unable to produce an attack is because of overusing mana.It will take time for it to gather itself back to what it was.This means that you are currently limited on your mana because it is weak at now.So you have a task.To increase the amount of mana you have, you'll need to use it over and over again and bit by bit it will grow."
