As Hina kept tugging at me, I turned back to face Nina-chan.
"So, how exactly do we do the Condensing Magic? What's the first step?"
"Uh, well, first of all... I can't use Condensing Magic perfectly yet," she admitted, a little sheepish.
"Yeah, I know that."
From what Nina-chan had told me, the last time her mother taught her magic was about a year ago. And that final lesson had covered just the basics of Condensing Magic. I guess she's only learnt enough to explain the process.
"You know how the high-phase mana created from Alchemy comes out, right? You need to release that mana outside your body and then gather it up tightly, like squeezing a ball."
"...Okay."
