Starting training

Do you know how to channel your mana?

I practiced last night.

OK, so show me what you learned.

I closed my eyes to pretend concentration, now what should I show first?

Fireball!

bang!!!

with an explosion, a fireball the size of a car shot out of my hand.

uhmm, not bad for someone your age, but there's still a long way to go.

Then, without a sound, a ball of fire the size of a tennis ball shot out of his hand, but when it touched where mine had left an ash mark, it completely destroyed it and left a hole in the room.

BOOM!!!

This is certainly exhibitionism, I must have managed to do something like that too, but probably not as strong as hers, it reminded me that now I am actually in a world where there are people who can create nuclear bombs with in their hands. and others can be hit by one and the only thing that can happen is to raise dust.

Yes, that's what I always dreamed of.

Did you see what I did?

Yes

For you to do something like this, what you need is control over your mana.

Think of a river, the waters of the river flow freely, but what if you put several stones stopping the river from flowing freely, what will happen?

The river will overflow because it will have nowhere to go.

That, now, if I just create a narrow passage?

The water will flow out, but it will come out with great force because there is only a small opening.

exactly, it's the same thing with mana, if you control the opening you decide how strong the spell will be

So the power of my spell depends on the strength of the mana? So if I condense my mana to the maximum it will become stronger?

That's right, the more concentrated the mana the more powerful the spell will be, now in your training you will have to condense your mana to increase the total power of your spell, I know you chose a history book, right? May I know why you made this choice?

I found it interesting the way people used magic before.

I see, well this won't interfere with your training, you will only train your mana, when you finish controlling your mana you will have to start creating your base, that's it, now start.

Yes, but how can I start?

ha, you just need to make this ball shrink.

I caught the ball, it was the size of a football.

you just need to put mana into it and make it shrink, if you put a lot of mana without control it will only make it grow, so control it to make it shrink until you can hold it with one hand, like this

wow, it shrunk!

Now it's your turn, when you're done you can ask someone to call me.

right.

So how am I going to make you shrink?

I started putting mana into the ball to see the reaction, as expected it started to get bigger, I tried to shrink it, but it returned to its original size.

It looks like it won't be that simple.
