The first barrier fell.
It took me quite some time to finally figure out the theory I needed in order to push past the very first of the barriers. And in the end, striking it with just my thoughts was all but useless… When it came to damaging the barrier, that is. But for whatever reason it might be, using my thoughts to attack this barrier put me in a strange state of mind that somehow made the nearby mana align with the one, single purpose I had in my mind.
The one strike that led me to break the barrier wasn't just a lucky shot.
While I managed to notice the phenomena of mana moving according to my wishes, it wasn't on the level of precision and focus necessary to shatter the first barrier. It was just a clue, not a ready-made solution.
