Malakai settled back into the stands, alone this time, with a wide grin spreading across his face.
He was still trying to process the events that had just happened in the registration area.
He had been confused about how to use his magic, since every time he tried, the void energy seemed to take over, and his body might end up damaged
But then, when touching that ball that tested his stage, he had seen a light inside his body.
It was Mana, the magical energy that was supposed to be the lifeblood of magic users.
Malakai realized that the Mana had been slowly drained away by the void energy.
But when he touched it, the Mana seemed to stabilize, as if it was being sustained by his contact.
Malakai was baffled - how could Mana reside in his body without a core? His core had been stolen.
'But apparently, the void energy was somehow allowing the Mana to survive.'
