23 Mana fist

'As expected, i guess i have to guess for myself, but there isn't much explanation, making it hard to guess, well, since it a talent i guess it will activate by itself?' Alter thought to himself

Alter looked at Leo, Leo still had a creepy face, So Alter couldn't wait and asked

"Where are we going?"

Leo looked at Alter and said

"You said you like reading, so i thought of going to the library in our home"

"I see, so what relation have reading and your creepy face"

Leo felt like he was splashed by cold water, next, the creepy smile disappeared and was replaced by a awkward one, then he said

"Sorry, it sometimes happens"

"At what times" Alter wasn't satisfied with the answer Leo gave

"No need to mind it" Leo tried to brush off Alter question

But alter didn't let him go

"No need to mind it doesn't mean i don't mind it"

"..." Leo was speechless at Alter persistence

Emillia chuckled at the pair conversations, then she said

"You know that we already passed our house~"

"Huh?" Leo was stunned

Emillia didn't say anything and walked back, Alter and Leo followed her, after half a minute they stopped next a gate of a mansion

"How come you passed by and you didn't notice" Alter said

"heh...."Leo mouth twitched and he gave a hollow laugh

"I am going to meditate, you go with Alter to the library"

Emillia went to a corner of the garden and sat , then she closed her eyes.

A faint orange fog-like light surrounded her

Leo noticed that Alter was looking at it, so he explained

"that'swhat one of the advantages of having the phoenix element, the aura of rebirth"

Leo started walking toward the mansion door, Alter followed him

Leo placed his hand on the door and sent a bit of mana

The door opened and the interior illuminated

There where 6 doors and a giant stairs in the middle, the stairs divide in two, one leads to the left and the other to the right.

"Let go" Leo said

They both went upstairs and went to the right, then they entered the 3rd door in the corridor

'The Library' that what Alter thought when he entered

It reminded him of the second floor of the academy library

"sit in there and wait for a bit" Leo pointed towards a table and said

Alter did as he said and sat in a chair next to the table

Leo started walking around the library, picking some books, soon, he amassed more or less 20 thick book

"this should be enough" Leo said with a satisfied smile

the first 5 minutes

Alter picked a book called No-Element Magical theories-Basic version

the first pages explained that there isn't a need to create a spell structure and gave some basic formulas- that alter barely could understand- which explained why

Just as Alter finished the first pages, Leo atacked him with a barrage of questions about each detail.

Alter managed to answer them

30 minutes

In that time, Alter was in the next section of the book, it explains the spell mana fist, the theory behind it, the muscles and bones necessary, dangers of not balancing mana between the muscles and bones, etc...

In this half hour, he just comprehended one fourth of it, he reread each page in preparation to Leo questions

one hour and half

[Ding...User learnt the mana fist spell]

[mana fist lvl 1 0.00%: Uses mana in one fist to increase it power, the more mp used, the more powerful it is.

Remark: Using more mp than the fist can handle or not controlling the mana and balancing it may harm one fist

Remark 2: User current limit = 50 Mp]

'mp cost wise it good, i got to test it power, if it good i can use it on the academy labyrinth' Alter thought to himself

Next, Alter made a fist and used the spell, 8 white runes floated around his hand, then they gathered above the back of his hand and fused and became a totally different runes, then it landed and fused with his fist and vanished

Even thought it vanished Alter could feel that his fist became stronger

"You already learnt it?" Leo was a surprised

"Nnn" Alter nodded

Suddenly, Alter head became fussy, then he lost conscious

Leo sighed and said

"Sigh, Although you succeed you didn't stop the spell from continuously absorbing mana from you"

Leo picked Alter and placed him in his back, then he left the library and went toward a room near the library

The room didn't have any light as it's already nighttime, only a big bed can be seen thanks to the light from the corridor, he placed alter in the bed and covered him with a blanket

"comfo...rtable" Alter slowly muttered

Leo smiled at the scene and left the room and closed the door.

When he turned around he noticed that Emillia was standing in there

"So?" Emillia said

"what?"Leo replied with a question

Emillia rolled her eyes and said

"You know what i mean"

"His soul looks like it wasn't too long when he first came in contact with mana while it looks like it halfway through adapting to it" Leo explained

"So he isn't someone who reincarnated?" Emillia asked

"He isn't" Leo replied

Emillia sighedand and said

"You know, your standing in the clan wouldn't have been so low if you did reveal your eyes ability"

"Or i would have been captured by some other faction on our clan and become a farm of eyes"

Emillia didn't say anything , she just sighed and left
