Chapter 28 - Mana

As the professor entered the classroom, Iode recognized him immediately. He was the man who was with Ian and Kyle on their way to the Rohanes Academy and told them together with captain Jacob to take care of him on their way here.

The professor saw the purple aura among the multitude of students in the classroom and knew that was Iode, he smiled.

Iode's face turned red as he presumes his idol smiled at him.

"My name is Pandavatton de Regalis, I'll be taking you on everything related to mana both theoretical and practical" the professor said.

"I'm your homeroom teacher, so if you have any questions, complaints, or problem, come to me". He continued.

"It would take too much time if i say you should all introduce yourselves, but that's not needed now, let's go straight to work". He said.

"Mana", was written on a white board with magic.

"Mana, you all wouldn't be able to enter the academy without the knowledge of mana so can anyone tell us what mana is". Prof Pandavatton said.

A female wizard who are usually given the title witch, raised her hand.

"Okay, tell us your name before answering the question". Prof Pandavatton said.

"I'm Selena de Brown, mana are energies found in the universe, they are found around us". She said.

"Correct, Mana is an energy of the universe found around us, how mana came into existence is unknown, but its usefulness in our everyday lives is inevitable".

"There is no need to dwell much on the definition of Mana, lets move to the application of mana, answers from you please?" Prof Pandavatton said.

A stickman raised his hand and was picked,

"I'm Kenneth, mana can be used to strengthen our body".

"Yes, mana can be used to strengthen the body, and it is especially used by the Stickmen, Orcs, trolls, Dwarves and Valkyries, another?".

A kobold raised his hand. "I'm Sighard, mana is the basic requirement for any magic spells".

"Indeed, without mana, to make the simplest of spells would be impossible so mana is a necessity of any magic spells". The prof said.

"Mana can be infused into a weapon to make it stronger". A female Elf said.

"Indeed, mana infused into weapons will be stronger, and with enough mana together with technique for refinement, weapons can be further strengthened from mana weapon to aura weapon and to soul weapon.

"This application of mana is used by nations who rely more on weapons than magic, yes another?".

Iode raised his hand and said,

"I'm Iode, and mana can be infused into equipment used in daily activities like street lights, mana crystal, mana pills, etc".

"True, there are different applications of mana, but it's something we use almost everyday, lets move to the absorbtion techniques of mana". Prof Pandavatton said

"For this class, you will only be taught two techniques, as you go higher, you'll learn more techniques in mana absorbtion and mana refinement".

"The first and most common mana technique is the 'Breathing technique'. It is a very simple, costless technique that is practiced everywhere".

"It is technique that requires utmost focus and imagination. In this technique, you'll have to imagine absorbing mana from the surroundings through the air by breathing in and out slowly and calmly".

"If successful, a mana vessel and mana channel will be created in the heart and across the body respectively".

"I'm pretty sure everyone here has done it in one way or the other, whether the first time to create a star or to breakthrough". Prof Pandavatton said as he set his eyes straight locked on Iode.
