121 The Lost Secrets of Kwame Adewale

After Julius and Arun returned to their rooms, they spent half an hour making space for the young man before starting to train for their future expedition.

As Arun took the room's desk to study his two spells, Julius retrieved the old dusty tome. The pages were yellowed by the passing of time. The cover's title was unreadable but still emanated an aura of mystery.

"Where did you find that book?" Adam gazed sharply at Julius. He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably drawn to the tome.

"Vikram gave it to me. According to him, it should focus on mana manipulation and control." Julius responded pensively before adding, "The mana-gathering technique should be element-neutral, too."

Adam nodded before conjuring an ethereal mage's hand to manipulate the old book. Unfortunately, the language seemed old, lost and mixed with potent magic.
