Mana core? Where did the mana core come from in my body?

Maybe it's because of my reincarnation? Most likely it is, all the facts point to it. But what caused it? Maybe it's because of the high mana compression caused by my reincarnation? Mana is everywhere, so it makes perfect sense. Either the mana core was given by the "system" so that I was at least capable of something, in any case it doesn't matter.

I still don't know how to name my character panel, since I'm not completely sure that it's a system. It may well be a simple character window that doesn't affect anything, just shows my talents and abilities.

Of course, I hoped that this was a system, since in the future, it can give a lot of bonuses that will be useful to me.

After examining my newfound mana core a bit, I came to the conclusion that it is no different from a simple black stage core.

It's certainly good that I won't need to spend time forming a mana core, but still it's not enough to feel safe in this forest.

To begin with, I don't know how to fight. In my previous life, I didn't attract much attention and didn't get into conflict situations, if someone argued with me, I just answered "Yes, of course, you're right" and left, so I didn't have to conflict with anyone.

I have no idea how to use magic, it would be strange if I could. Yes, of course, I have the ability "Quadra Elemental" and the talent "High sensitivity to mana", but I will not be able to use them in any way, even if I could create spells, I simply would not have enough mana reserves to create spells. Maybe I could create fire from a finger, but it won't really help in combat.

Gojo Satoru's abilities are sealed, and I don't even know how to print them. Maybe if I reach a higher core stage I can unlock them? Or do I need something else? In any case, it seems to me that it will not be so easy.

I really wanted to print them out as soon as possible, since with his power, I won't have to worry about my safety.

I also don't have enough confidence that I can kill someone, but I understand that sooner or later I will have to kill someone, because I want to fully develop my abilities, and in peaceful conditions it won't work. In this world, almost everyone starts learning to fight from birth, so I simply have no chance against an ordinary person from this world, even if our physical characteristics are equal, I simply do not have the combat experience to win a fight.

And I'm also in the body of a child, so there's nothing I can do if someone attacks me. In addition, I'm all beaten up and I have two broken ribs.

The perfect start…

After a little reflection, I decided that staying in place is not the best solution, since the animals that live in this forest can attack me.

Getting up from my seat and taking a stick that was lying next to me, I headed along the road ahead, I can only hope that the city to which I was being taken is not far away.

The pain I felt couldn't be described in words. I have a fairly low pain threshold, in my entire life in the last world, I only broke my arm and then it was incredibly painful for me.

...

...

...

"Finally..." - these words involuntarily jumped out of my mouth.

I finally came to the city… About 1 hour has passed since my journey, 1 hour of pain and torment. Maybe for someone it's not so much time, but for me it was like walking to the moon ... yes ... so unsuitable person was chosen for reincarnation.

But I didn't care, the main thing was that I got to the city.

With a smile on my face, I went to the gate, there were guards at the gate who were checking some documents, everyone who entered or left the city showed them.

The smile was slowly disappearing from my face. Do I really need documents to enter the city?

Having coped with the first problem, a second one suddenly appeared.

Ehhhh...

what?..

My attention was attracted by a tall bald man, who, simply without showing his identity documents, took out gold coins and gave them to the guard…

No one saw it, but I noticed.

Now I am not surprised that all the children who were stolen were taken to this city…

Would I be safer in the woods? – this thought involuntarily appeared in my head.

No… I need to at least heal my wounds, so I definitely need to get to the city.

I have two options. The first option is simple and impossible at the same time, I just need to get gold coins, but it's not that easy… I'm not even sure that they will let me into the city, they can just take the coins from me and just not let me into the city. The second option is easier, I need to somehow get into some carriage, for example, a merchant's carriage, is quite suitable.

Having decided what to do, I began to look for a suitable carriage.

My eye was attracted by a small open carriage, there were many barrels behind the carriage, grains of grain were painted on the barrels, this carriage was pulled by two large two-legged lizards.

Wow… It's the first time I've seen monsters... or rather mana beasts. From the memories of the previous owner of the body, I knew that this is a Skitter, a D-class mana beast, they are mainly used for long-distance transportation, they are quite expensive to take care of.

Having quietly approached the back of the carriage, I still decided to climb into it. Approaching the barrels, I began to look for at least some place to hide.

Where to…

About…

I saw an empty barrel, there was a lid next to it, without thinking twice, I climbed into it. Closing the barrel with the lid, I waited.

If I get caught… I didn't dare to think about it, it was the world of the Middle Ages, so I could have been killed for trying to illegally enter the city.

Goosebumps ran through my body… Was it worth getting in here? Maybe I should have just tried to get into the city another way…

Here I am an idiot…

I just remembered that I'm in a world where magic exists, so I could have been detected because of my mana core, since the core releases mana, it makes sense that the guards could sense the release of mana from this barrel…

Although... maybe I'm just winding myself up, I don't fully know the mana core abilities, so they may not feel me at all…
