few months later
after semi completing the building of the oakenburn city pass,scarlet decided to kick me out of the city , as she gives me a letter of recommendation to the military academy since its recruitment time had already passed and more than half the study period had gone
by the way the period of learning in the military academy is only one year ,rarely people study there more than that time unless they were special,unlike the imperial academy where students study for a period of more than three years
as i came to the academy because of a letter of recommendation i became an outcast although not to the point of being bullied but enough that when i ask other student they only answer my question then go away immediately
it's not like i can't understand them , entering the military academy is not very difficult what is difficult is the recommendation that scarlet gives me made me so i can use all the facilities of the academy wothout the need to contribute anything be it money or the point that student usually earn to enter these facilities .
that's why they are angry with me, and that wasn't enough , me not going to the class to listen to the teacher's lecture made even the other teacher angry with me as well.
so my chance to make friend in this academy was almost gone,not that i care for such a think hmpf.
this is only my first week in the academy and i am already an outcast.
not going to the class was not because i didn't want ,actually i don't want to, i have lived half of my life studying so you could understand my feeling,but the reason i didn't go to class is because i wouldn't be able to learn anything, not because they can't teach me anything its becasue i don't understand anything.
the first day i enter the class i felt i went to learn some hieroglyphic i did understand nothing, not because i was stupid but because i didn't have anyone to teach me the lesson that were studies in the last half year that had passed
so except the weapon learning classes i didn't go to other classes even those weapon teaching class,i left them after two or three visits as even the teacher who was teaching weapons was not strong enough for me to learn from , or in other word i felt that i can actually teach him not the other way around.
finally in the weekend what i have waiting for had came to me.
as i was in my room in the academy i heard a knock and when i opened the door i didn't find anyone behind it ,but instead a very big box.
i took the box inside , then without hesitant i opened it
"lets see .. a student card .... books of history,mana,magic .....,..... and finally the most important a status plate"
taking every item one by one from the box then put them in the bed beside me
those item where sent to me by a teacher who i asked about the basics of what my class had learned before i came ,although the man was somehow unwilling to do that but he did it at the end because i was sent here by general scarlet ,even to this moment i can't understand full why they are hating me to this extent ,althought i can understand some of the reason but not all.
since i hadn't had the chance to have a long conversation with anyone i couldn't ask this question .
anyway with all this, i can finally understand magic so lets go for some reading shall we .
"let's see [ introduce to mana ] "
mana is the vitality or life force that exist in almost everything ,the world itself and the human body are the primarly examples
the mana in the world is called the breath of the planet, the vitality that exist in everywhere of the planet be it nature,see,air,...
while the mana in the human body is the surface vitality or life force that is produced by the soul or was absorbed naturally from the atmosphere ,if the surface vitality had been emptied from the human body mana can still be produce from the vitality deep in the body and soul but using it will shorten the life span and the vitality that human needs to live .
human can't use or feel the mana in their body unless they can use their mana circuit
"....for better understanding please read the book basic of magic circuit"
Magic Circuit
Is a Circuit like nervous system that spreads itself through the human body every human without exception have this system in their bodies although they are not naked to the human eyes when they are not activated ,although human had not have a deep research about it there are theories that it links the human physical body with its soul
Its basic functions is convert vitality or Life Force into Magical Energy and another is allowing the absorption and manipulating the mana in outside the body
the number of the magic circuit is decided at birth.
one can know the number when they open them
to open them at first you need the help of either someone who already have open them by transferring some of his mana in to the
magic circuit to stimulate them, or to drinking a mana potion that will help in understanding the feeling of the mana so the drinker will by himself open them.
after opening them for the first time it is advised to open his status plate
after reading that i went to the mana potion that is in the bed then put my back on the bed as if i want to sleep
looking at the container that hold a blue looking liquid in my hand i thought ' thinking about it it's logical, one can't feel their body blood even though we know that it's always circulated through the body unless it was simulated and even then that feeling of blood would be very weak so it's only natural that to manipulate mana you need to understand and feel what is it first'
taking the lid of the container i drank the whole potion as i felt a cold and comfortable sensation through my body ,after focusing a lot on the interior of my body, i finally felt one of my magic circruits then i attampted to open it
and then i only felt pain, pain enough that made me think that this magic circuit was not opened but it was as if i was putting a new organ in my body without painkillers or i was making a new organ.
after that pain ended i couldn't help but think ' is this what everyone has to go through as they open their circuits even with my pain resistance and tolerance i truly felt pain,or is it just because i open it by myself without anyone's help that i felt pain'
after opening the first i opened the second after finding it then third when i reached the tenth i couldn't do it anymore so i rested for a while
finding that it was already afternoon i went to the academy's cafeteria then eat a lot of food after doing that i did my spear training routine
later after in my room i tried to open the rest of my magic circuit eleventh,twelfth....twentieth.....twenty fifth...twenty eight,twenty ninth and finally thirty.
"thirty magic circuit that's the Average, in the class i saw people always bragging about having 50,60 while i also heard that nobel families have more than hundred magical circuits, more doesn't always means better but there is a little to ones losses if he have a lot , so for me who only have 30 i am very inferior in the eyes of nobles.
the number of magic circuit shows how big is your mana reservoir in other words how much can your soul hold of mana at its maximum capacity, so the more mana one have the more magic circuit he would also have"
many tried to make artificial circuit but most fail in doing that, those who succeed some of them deform some did it but they were of very low quality in all that one think was found that is, artificial mana circuit don't actually bring the body more mana instead it link it self with the body's deep vitality or life force with every use it suck off the lifespan and life energy of its user.
this news was the only thing that stopped those who were researching or attempting to make artificial circruits , as at one time in the past especially when the gates start to appear for the first time people were hunger for power and strength to protect themselves or others.
so they tried to search for every way possible to get stronger no matter how dangerous and immoral it is.
a lot have died because of such reasons at that time.
making artificial mana circuit was foundationally wrong and immoral,as it is in other world the same as playing with the human soul ,and soul manipulation is not something that human are allowed to do or can do
as i rest a little after opening all my circuits.
i took from beside me a hand size dark plate that look like a smartphone except it has not buttons in anywhere that can be seen.
remembering the details as to how to use this plate i dropped a drop of blood in it then opened one of my magic circuit then from my hand i sent some of my mana through the plate
even though it was my first time manipulating my mana i found it somehow not very difficult as i heard from some conversations between my classmates.
after the plate absorbed both my blood and mana some words start to appear in it
"welcome foreigner who came from outside of our domain"
seeing these word i was only a little bit surprised but i was not shocked by them
