After my alchemy learning sessions I devote myself to improving my magic especially that of shadows.
This magic allows me to manipulate shadows by giving them a tangible aspect thanks to the mana that I circulate, but hey I have to be imaginative, then I started to move the shadows and give them various forms.
With that I was able to contact that these do not come only from the shadows created by objects or living beings but from a synthesis deriving from mana.
But this magic is disappointing, how could I say it is blocked in a two-dimensional space so I cannot make it evolve in the other dimensions, it is like in physics with the landmarks of space but I will not dwell on that.
I solve the problem with the magic of darkness, she does not know about the problem of space but the form that they sport a rather gaseous aspect so I adjust this in order to make it more efficient.
To do this, I locked myself in the lab for a lasting month to allow myself an absolute concentration, I only went out to prepare food, I did several tries to give the characteristics of shadow magic, especially the synthesis which gives the character of the shadows.
I had asked a lot of questions about the darkness to the teacher, it didn't give anything, I refrained from telling the teacher my project, I don't see why I should tell him my intentions.
-<< Why all these questions? >>
I was expecting this question so I took my usual area to answer him
-<< Why? Well I'm the type to want to understand what I have on hand and not to use it without understanding anything >>
After this interview, I continued my studies after several attempts and failure I stand in front of block black in the shape of a cube.
-<< ah ah ah ah ah ah I succeeded>>
yes I did well the proof being well being made of darkness I control it freely but the precision to give it the shapes that I want still leave to desired, I still have to improve several points.
Apart from her I relied on the other elements except that I can't learn any others I don't know about it and surprise at this news because first of all mana users are rare and usually only have one element it's difficult to find mastering several elements according to the professor.
-<< Again the level of their power differs from each several factors like talent, training, time but also the natural predispositions of the individual >>
- << So the amount of mana that one can have is already predefined >>
- << Yes this factor is very important also do not be surprised that people are better than you in the use of the same elements because everything depends on concentration and imagination >>
I meditated on the words of the professor to understand the concepts:
Concentration: I determine the amount of mana to pour into my blow to activate a spell, measure its power and maintain it, I remember during my tests on the magic of darkness I had to maintain them in order to be able to manipulate them if I had to last how it happened it was horrible and very annoying because in full effort my magic stops and this on several occasions I do not even count the times when I almost cried with rage.
As for imagination, it covers the field of the effect that our magic will have in this case we take the example of the cubic shape which comes from my imagination there is the case during my different fights I pronounce the name of my attacks before launching them it was to better visualize them and also I was too influenced by the anime and manga that people seem to appreciate.
Well let's put aside the thing to do is to train my concentration.
- << To help you improve it I recommend one thing >>
To that I see my daily training intensify significantly but I did not make any protest, in any case it is to strengthen me.
Very late in the evening after completing my program I was eating with the professor who had waited for me, we didn't say anything for a while then he asked me questions about my life..
I briefly told him my memories or rather those of Janica, it's as if I was reading a story in my mind I didn't feel any emotion towards his happy and painful memories, the professor listened to me without saying a word.
When I finished speaking the professor finally spoke
- << I listened and everything is very unfortunate >>
Look at me he's not even affected and is totally indifferent I suppose that's a normal reaction even me since the problem doesn't concern me.
-<< Now what do you want to accomplish or rather what is your goal? >>
His question destabilized me a little because it came out of nowhere, an objective I haven't thought about it yet.
-<< When you know it tell me>>
On that's words he got up to go to his room, throwing me alone.
