Two days have passed since I accidentally got caught in a magic trap in the garden behind my residence. Luckily His Highness Yvone was able to destroy the ancient rune so we could all be free.
But since that day, my curiosity has been made thirsty again. One of them is about mana. Whether it's about magic space that can absorb mana, ether mana, or how to release mana.
The last one I'm really very curious about!.
Ever since I found out about Ether mana, I became even more curious about it, especially about how I could make it come out and look like golden light.
My only clue was to put my hands together.
I've tried many times, but I can't make the mana come out or feel a gentle wind-like sensation flowing from my hands throughout my body like when I was with father that time or with His Highness Yvone when we were trapped yesterday.
Since I can't do it with my own two hands, I have to try another way and in the same way as I did with my dad or His Highness Yvone.
First, I tried it with Salamanca!.
Puk!.
But, this is strange. I didn't even feel like there was any kind of energy from Salamanca. Just forget it. Come on, try it with others!.
Then I tried it with Vio's hand!.
Puk!
Then I tried it with Vincent's hands!.
Puk!
Then I tried it with dad again!.
Puk!
"Honey, what are you doing?" Dad asked confused but I ignored him and focused on joining my hands with Dad's. But still nothing happened. .
Uhhhh!. Why can't that happen!?
How can I bring out the golden light from that time?!.
Even when I tried with my daddy, I couldn't feel the sensation of something flowing through my body. What's really wrong?. More precisely, what should I do to make that mana flow out?!.
Alright, because today His Highness Yvone happens to be visiting. I'll try it with his hands too one more time!.
I ran out with a sullen face from dad's office and looked for His Highness Yvone who was probably visiting Choco Kid.
And sure enough! I saw His Highness Yvone had just come out of the hallway connected to the exit to the garden in the middle of this residence and the hallway leading to Choco Kid's room which was next to mine.
I ran after him and stopped him just as he walked out the door into the garden.
"Young Lady??. Did you just run after me?" He asked but I didn't answer his question and went straight to my destination.
"Your Highness, look at your hands!" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Hm?. Hand?. What's wrong with my hands?" He said while holding out his hands. He didn't ask why I was speaking in an annoyed tone or why I was pouting, but whatever.
His Highness Yvone is indeed that kind of person. Maybe he was actually enjoying the cute sight of my pouting face.
I don't care. Come on, focus!. And I quickly grabbed both hands of His Highness Yvone, who was much bigger than me.
This time I tried really hard. I looked very seriously at our hands.
"Young Lady?. What are you doing?. Is there something strange about my hand?" Asked His Highness Yvone. I think he was starting to get curious about my behavior.
"Can't!. The light isn't coming out!" I said reflexively because I was annoyed. I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer, so I just shouted and forgot about His Highness Yvone's presence.
"Light?" muttered His Highness Yvone. For a moment hus face looked confused and she took the opportunity to think quickly. Then she quickly looked like someone who had an idea.
His Highness Yvone smiled. His smile was as usual. A charming devilish smile.
I don't know why I can call it a devil's smile?. Maybe because that smile always looks like it contains something bad? It's just that the person making that smile is a handsome man, so I can call it a charming devil's smile.
Puk!.
Suddenly His Highness Yvone took over both of my hands and we put our hands together like someone praying together. After that, finally. What I've been waiting for comes!.
I felt the sensation of something flowing in my hand and slowly I saw a golden light coming out of the joining of our hands!.
I stared in amazement. Once again, the feeling of curiosity within me became so great!. Ah, how can it be like that?!.
Ha ha. His Highness Yvone laughed softly as he watched my behavior. Maybe my expression right now is like I've received a lot of chocolate candy.
"Are you curious about how to get mana out, Celli?" Said His Highness Yvone. It was as if he had just read my mind so I was surprised.
But what did I hear just now?. Celli?. He shortened my name?!.
"My name is Cellia, not Celli!" I said. I didn't like it. I don't know why calling me like that makes me a little dog!. It sounded the same as when I called Cemille.
"I can feel it from your mana flow, Young Lady..." he continued. He didn't care about my protest earlier!.
"Which can show your mood, in other words, it can make someone feel what you are feeling in your heart. So, if you touch someone's mana, you will be able to feel the mana of the person you touched. Vice versa. If someone touches your mana, that person will be able to feel your feelings, so..."
"If you want to release mana, you must first learn to get used to the feeling. More precisely, feeling the presence of mana around you is like you are trying to understand someone's feelings..." explained His Highness Yvone.
My annoyance slowly faded when I heard him explain what had been making me curious until finally I felt annoyed because I didn't know the answer.
His Highness Yvone seems to be able to transform into anything. The fire that irritates me or the water that extinguishes the fire. It seems that he is very skilled at playing with people's feelings. Sigh!.
"Close your eyes and try to focus on feeling the flow that I created," said His Highness Yvone. He then spread his hands and I closed my eyes.
Slow but sure. I started to feel something. There was a feeling of warmth, cold, hot, cool that kept touching my skin alternately, then suddenly I seemed to see some thin threads like golden filaments that glowed in the darkness.
"Do you see some kind of thin golden threads?" Asked His Highness Yvone suddenly. I lost focus and opened my eyes and answered His Highness Yvone's question with a nod of my head.
"It is the mana that is around us. Which is basic or maybe you could say like raw materials..." explained His Highness Yvone again. I don't really understand his explanation.
His Highness Yvone then held my hand again.
"Now you can do the same thing. Try to feel the mana I send into your hand. If you're not used to it, you just need to close your eyes and practice focusing like before..." he said. I closed my eyes again.
This time, I saw that the golden threads seemed to move like water flowing very gently. The threads then moved around me.
Slowly. All the threads seemed to wrap around my body. Then it was like I was in a bubble.
"This is the mana around you that you are absorbing. The mana you have absorbed can be processed for magic use. The number and size of the mana bubbles you create will determine how much and to what extent you can use magic..." whispered His Highness Yvone. No. I think he was speaking normally, but because I was surrounded mana energy so his voice became slightly distorted.
"Open your eyes Young Lady..."
I opened my eyes slowly and I saw a golden light coming out of my hand. I couldn't believe it. Finally I could do it!. I could release mana!
Oh, I see!. When you absorb mana, you will also automatically be able to release mana to manage it to use magic!.
This is like taking water and then using the water to water the plants. The size of the container you use to collect water will determine the amount of water you take.
The plant seeds you want to water are the magic you want to use. You just need to water the seeds. But everyone knows that watering plants so they can grow is not easy. You have to know the right amount of water, or the type of plant you are watering.
They all influence the growth of the plants you water. Moreover, there are so many types of magic. This is the same as the many types of plants that require different care.
Okay. It seems like I'm starting to understand how to use magic too. I just need to practice which dosage I will use according to the type of magic and I also have to start memorizing the types of magic which are divided into two elements, namely the sky element and the earth element. Each element is further divided into elements, but unfortunately I haven't studied things like that.
Geez. I don't know why I'm so excited to learn magic! I can't wait to get into elementary magic academy!.
"By the way, Young Lady. It seems like you also have the ability to draw out someone's mana. You can take out someone's mana without needing the permission or will of the person you're taking out the mana from...""
That's one of the skills that prospective medical members are trained for. But, you don't need to train it. Your abilities are purely innate from birth. You just need to know how to get it out, Young Lady.."
"Do you also intend to become a medical member, Young Lady?. You can help many people who suffer from Mana Overdose..."
"We actually lack medical staff who have this capability. Absorbing mana from one's body is very different from absorbing mana from nature... it is one of the abilities that is very difficult to master."
So this ability to absorb my mana is like a rare skill or a cheat?. It's like I already have all the keys to the doors I want to open.
But, medical staff huh... I haven't thought about that...
When reading books about academies I only thought about becoming a saint and wanted to enter that department. All that because I need the ability of a saint to be able to save mom!.
Getting a saint's degree is also something that really has a big influence on a person's life, but I also know that the medical major is the most sought after in academia after the saint's major.
Looks like I have to start thinking about this. Saint or medical major?.
