They were in front of Vance's house and Max was surprised at how beautiful it was
Max:Wow this is actually a nice house old man I am really surprised.
Vance:Alright now come on get in
He opened the door for them to enter and it was just a normal indoor house,it didn't have something personal that makes you think like the house belongs to the person,it was just furniture there was a kitchen,a living room and at the back there was a huge space and that led back to the forest.
Vance:so what do you think?
Max:It's pretty normal I think,too normal even do you actually live here?
Vance:Well I gotta admit I didn't spend a lot of time decorating,I just bought this so that I could be alone.
He had a sad look in his eyes when he said that and Max decided that it was best to change the subject.
Max:Sooooo
Vance:Sooo what?
Max:You said that you would awaken my mana veins come on we have no time to waste on this.
Vance:OK I did say that we don't have a lot of time I would have liked to give you first the theoretical part but I guess we'll have to do that and the practical at the same time,go on sit cross legged on the floor.
Max went and did as he was told
Vance:Now close your eyes and just focus on your breathing,deep,slow breaths,now I'm gonna put my hand in your back and send mana into your body slowly but surely you will awaken in a week if everything goes as planned.
Max:Hold on a week I thought...
Vance:Let me guess you thought this thing would be instantly and boom you have mana now?
Max:Kinda
Vance:Well it doesn't work like that,your an otherworlder,you don't have any experience with mana so if I just sent a large burst of mana your body won't be able to handle it.Got it?
Max:Yeah,okay let's just get this over with.
Vance:Alright now concentrate.
Max closed his eyes and just kept focusing on his breathing .
Vance:Alright I'm gonna start now
He put his hand on his back and started to send mana into him.
Vance:Do you feel it?
Max:Yeah I think I'm feeling it it's burning my back.
Vamce:See that's why I told you that we have to do this gradually.
Max kept focusing in this feeling and he was feeling very hot he was starting to sweat and he was about to say that he couldn't handle it anymore,but he remembered that in two months he will have to face someone to decide his fate and only he could get himself the victory,only his determination to stay here and he wasn't going to lose.
Max:Ahhhhhh
*Boom*
Vance:W-what is going on?
'This...I was just sending a small amount of mana to him so how can he already have such a large pool of mana?'
Max was still sitting in the floor and a huge blue aura was coming out of him.
'What's happening to me?I was just focusing on the mana and then I felt something inside me wanting to get out and now I can't control it,Vance please help'
Vance:Shit what's happening to him?
He tried getting closer to him but the intensity was too strong and he couldn't get closer.
Suddenly I front of Max the mana coming out of him started forming into what looked like a person and they were just at the same eye level as Max sitting down on the floor.
???:No no no young master your not ready yet to wield all your power.
Max:W-who are you?
???:I'm your loyal servant but you don't have to worry about that right now we will have all the time in the world to talk,right now you need to control your power or else your gonna destroy yourself.
Max:I can't control it it's way out of my control
???:Hmph your very right indeed besides it was stupid of me to tell you to control it immediately after awakening.
Max:I awakened?
???:I hope so or else I don't know what's happening to you.
Max:Amazing.
???:Now I'm gonna be quick I'm going to seal a huge portion of your power.
Max:Huh?why? I can just control it right.I'll do it.
???:Ahhhh look I know all this power is tempting but you really will die if I just let it out of control besides I'm not selling all of your powers you'll still have a good portion and like I said I'm only sealing it if you want it all you just have to grow stronger and take it.do you understand now?
Max hated the idea of being limited but he was beginning to tired and pained coursed through his whole body.
Max:Alright Alright do it.
???:Good choice young master.
The figure put his hand out and touched his master head and all the power that was leaking out started to grow weak until nothing was coming out anymore and Max fell unconscious.
???:Well now that that's done time to seal his powers.
A magic circle appeared under Max and chains came out and wrapped around his left arm and then they etched themselves in his skin and now it looked like he had chain tattoes on his whole left arm.
???:Amazing all is done...
Vance:Hey
???:Oh there was another person here,don't worry I won't harm you my job here is done.
Vance:What did you do to him?
???:I protected him from his own power,and am I safe to assume you are the one who awakened him?
Vance just nodded his head.
???:Please take good care of him and do not lead him astray in the ways of magic.
Vance:u-umm I'll do my best he is my responsibility after all,but who are you exactly?
???:I guess I can tell you,I wasn't trying to keep it a secret or anything,allow me to introduce myself,this young boy right there is my master and I am his spirit.
Vance:W-what?spirit?but how he just awakened he couldn't have possibly...
???:Well you talk too much I'm gonna go tell him to grow strong if he wants for us to talk again.
With that he vanished and Vance was left alone with an unconscious boy a spirit that just came in and gave him big news and just left.
Vance:Aahhhh this is just great.
