Miss Gia stood before the students in the spacious training field, her presence commanding attention. She began by explaining the concept of Manifestation.
"Today, we'll delve deeper into the heart of Awakening by focusing on the concept of Manifestation. It's not about constructing something external but rather bringing forth the essence of your awakened abilities in their truest form," she explained.
Ahiro listened intently. He had been eager to understand the nuances of his own ability better, and this was a step in the right direction.
Miss Gia continued, "Manifestation is about making your power visible, palpable, and enduring. It involves not just the stability of the manifestation but also the way you bring forth your unique abilities, giving them tangible form. The stronger your manifestation, the longer you can maintain it."
She paused, letting the idea settle into the students' minds. Then, with a small smile, she added, "Let me show you an example of this process."
Miss Gia's body underwent a subtle transformation. She extended her arms gracefully, and a mesmerizing, iridescent glow enveloped her. Everyone's eyes widened as she manifested a pair of ethereal, translucent fairy wings that sprouted from her back. They were intricate and delicate, glowing in various shades of blue and green, and they radiated an otherworldly beauty that left the students spellbound.
With a gentle, fluid flutter, she lifted herself off the ground, hovering elegantly above the field.
A second later Her hair seemed to change color into a subtle bluish hue as she moved. The fairy-like transformation was captivating to say the least.
Miss Gia descended gracefully to the ground and reverted to her human form. The shimmering wings faded away, leaving the students in awe of what they had just witnessed.
"What I showed you was second stage of Manifestation," she explained, her voice carrying a sense of enchantment. "For me, it's the awakening of my <
Miss Gia didn't delve into her own powers and continued her lecture,"All stages of Manifestation are interconnected, each one building upon the other. The first stage of Manifestation is the basic form of your ability. This is the starting point for every awakened being. You're simply manifesting your ability, using it in its fundamental state."
"Now, let's take therianthropic abilities like mine as an example. These abilities grant us the power of animals, allowing us to tap into their unique attributes. They often come in stages that align with the extent of transformation we can achieve."
The students listened intently, eager to understand how the stages of Manifestation applied to their own abilities.
Miss Gia continued, "We divide these stages into levels, each representing a significant breakthrough in your own power. At the advanced stages, some awakened beings can take their abilities even further. Let's say you possess the ability to transform into a tiger. At Stage 3 of Manifestation, you can become a formidable, fully grown tiger."
She paced slowly across the training field, "But at Stage 4, the transformation transcends mere growth. You have the potential to manifest a tiger of extraordinary size, rivaling even small ships in magnitude. This shows that with each stage, your understanding and mastery of your ability deepens."
The students exchanged glances, beginning to grasp the intricate layers of Manifestation. Miss Gia's teachings illuminated their path toward the higher stages of their abilities, and the possibilities appeared limitless.
She spoke with a reassuring tone, knowing that her students needed to grasp the fundamentals first.
"Now, don't worry too much about reaching the master or expert stages of any parameter just yet," she advised. "You're still in the early stages of your awakening journey, and what's most vital at this point is establishing a strong foundation for your abilities. Without that, you won't be able to reach the more advanced levels."
She paced thoughtfully, her fingers gesturing to the air as she continued. "Many of you possess abilities like controlling elements, generating energy blasts, or telekinesis. These abilities can be a bit tricky because some of them don't like to change much. You see, during many experiments, we've observed that elemental-based awakened individuals often experience their powers preferring to stay in their base form."
She paused for a moment to let the information sink in. "For example, if you have the ability to manipulate fire, your power may naturally take the form of flames. No matter how much you try to shape it into something else, it'll tend to revert to its fundamental state. Unlike transformative abilities, where the most stable form is usually reached at the upper levels of Manifestation, elemental abilities tend to be most stable in their base forms."
Miss Gia ended her explanation, reiterating the importance of mastering their base forms before attempting the more advanced stages. With determination and patience, the students would be on their way to achieving mastery of their unique powers.
As Miss Gia's lecture came to an end, she instructed her students to spread out and take up positions with some space between them. It was time for them to put the theories she had just explained into practice.
"Remember, your first goal should be to reach the most stable form of your ability," Miss Gia reminded them, her voice projecting through the training field. "For some of you, you might already have reached this stage at Manifestation Level 1, while others might need to work their way up to Level 3. But worry not, through this lecture, you all have the chance to practice and experiment. I'll be carefully observing each and every one of you and providing guidance as needed throughout this journey."
With her guidance given, Miss Gia gracefully manifested her magnificent wings, their resplendent glow enhancing the entire field. As she glided gracefully above her students, they scattered throughout the field, activating their individual abilities and practicing their control.
Some summoned flames, manipulating them with finesse, while others generated gusts of wind, attempting to direct their currents. A few students, with telekinetic abilities, levitated objects and moved them in intricate patterns. Miss Gia floated among them, offering encouragement and guidance.
