Mana training (2)

After I answered the question that the professor asked, he explained to the other students about the difference and the significance of the Mana Sword.

For a mage, mana is like his lifeline, but in the case of Knights, it's the aura. Only those blessed by the heavens can use mana/aura.

The others need to use small magical tools, the magic crystals are harvested deep in the mines or from the magical beasts that are a threat to the humans.

There are many magic crystal recharging stations in this world, ( just like how we recharge a phone or electronic devices in this world some people use their mana to temporarily recharge the magic crystals. But it will only last up to two or three uses. )

Those who were contracted with a Divine Guardian will convert into the mana, even if that person doesn't have mana to begin with.

The surprising fact is even the children from the knight's family will be forced to convert their aura to mana.

The reasoning behind this conversion is simple, there are runes, talismans and magic formulas in this world, each of this is uses mana as the source.

The unique ability one gets is similar to magic, so the hero candidates are closer to a mage than a knight.

After explaining that the professor then showed us a sword movement, It was called the crescent blade.

As the name suggests it is an extremely beautiful sword movement that resembles the crescent moon.

Then the professor said that we needed to start doing basic mana circulation, when Elena asked the professor why is that he told her that the previous mana/aura circulation method had been erased from the hero candidate's body. And everyone needs to start all over again.

After answering her question Professor Alaric told us that he would teach us the cluster academies mana circulation method.

He told us to sit down and keep an arm's distance between four sides, after that, he began to explain how to circulate mana using the cluster academies mana circulation method.

" Everyone close your eyes, now imagine a tingling sensation on the root of your spine, if you can feel the tingling sensation then slowly move that feeling through your spine. Now slowly spread it throughout your entire body. "

The professor came close to each student and personally taught every student the method, but he left out Ryu.

But even Ryu himself didn't notice that due to not getting personal guidance the mana circulation he was using was altered.

He felt the warmth instead of feeling the tingling sensation, he spread it through his bones instead of his spine.

While others are feeling the cold yet warm mana, Ryu only felt the warmth.

At that time there were many questions formed Inside his mind.

" Why am I transported into this world?

What exactly can I do in this world?

There is no need for a worthless character like me?

What happened to my family?

Family? Do I even have a family?

Why I can't remember anything? "

He doesn't remember anything from his previous world other than the contents of the first two volumes.

But when he tried to remember his previous world family, he suddenly remembered the family he had in this new world.

He was the oldest child of an ordinary farmer, his father and mother loved him until the birth of his younger brother. Since that day they ignored him as if he was an eyesore.

I could feel the sadness in his heart, no matter what he did his parents never complimented him.

He couldn't even properly wash himself, and his hair became dry and smelly, those are some of the reasons why the noble students hate me.

I properly washed my body and removed the smell, but no matter how hard I try I'm being left alone and bullied.

I quickly finished the mana Circulation and opened my eyes, I was one of the last students to finish the mana circulation. I wiped my tears using my uniform's right sleeve.

" Did you cry? What happened? " Samuel asked me. I could sense the worry in his voice.

" No, it's nothing, Samuel ". I reassured him that I was okay, he pouted his cheeks and said. " Call me Sam Instead of Samuel. "

I looked at Sam's face and said, " How could I do that? You are a noble, I'm mustering all my courage to even your name. If your family finds out that I a commoner is calling you by your name Samuel then I will lose my hand or the tongue. Think about what would happen if they found out I called you a nickname.

Samuel, " Don't worry about that ryu, I can convince my family and just call me Sam. " After saying that he handed over a handkerchief.

I was dumbfounded, he put it on my hand and said to clean my face thoroughly.

The handkerchief he gave me emitted a faint yet captivating smell, there were some nice patterns on the handkerchief.

The borders of that handkerchief were made with silver threads and intricately embroidered with delicate designs, hinting that Samuel was indeed from a noble house.

"Thank you, Samuel," I murmured, my voice was cracking. Samuel turned around and put his hand on my shoulder and said. " Didn't I tell you to call me Sam? "

I smiled faintly and took a deep breath then said, allow me to correct myself. " Thank you, Sam. "

Sam, " There is no need to be formal with me Ryu, we are Friends as friends we are equal to each other. "

I smiled warmly and said, " I'm happy to have a friend like you, Sam. "

Then we started to laugh as we spoke more and more, " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING? "

Professor Alaric shouted, he was angry his eyes were blood red and we could sense the heat of his anger.

" Sorry professor, we won't make any more noise. "

Professor Alaric, " SAMUEL DARKFERN. MEET ME IN MY OFFICE AFTER THE TRAINING. "

Sam was shivering in fear, " yes professor. "

" Samuel I thought you were a decent guy, but I was wrong if you were a decent guy you wouldn't be hanging out with a worthless commoner like him. " Derek Valerian then pointed his finger at me while saying that.

I lowered my head and Sam looked at me, I saw him clenching his fist. I don't know what will Sam do he couldn't even talk to others because of his introverted personality.

But it was evident that Sam Was going to stand up for me for my benefit.
