Aldrich had been honing his sword skills and improving his control over mana with the help of Noct and Lumi.
"The way beasts use mana, it's so different compared to humans and other races" Aldrich had been carefully studying Noct and Lumi's technique to gather mana over the past few days.
"We need to store mana inside our body and utilize it when needed, but for beasts, they can just use the mana directly from their surroundings!".
It was not a groundbreaking discovery, but for someone like Aldrich, who needed ways to get stronger quickly, he had to try everything available.
He tried to copy Noct and Lumi as he tried to condense the mana from the surroundings in his hand. He noticed that the mana was slowly swirling around his hand, accumulating on the top of his palm, but suddenly, he lost control over the mana, which led to a small explosion, dirtying Aldrich's clothes; seeing which, Noct and Lumi broke into a giggle.
