Mana accessibility training.

After the long discussion for the Demon Cursed Blade, Maju started forming some magic circles.

"I hope you are ready, Azar"

The circle was red , which means it was going to be an easy level monster. A golem was slowly forming in liquid state and Maju thrown a CC before the golem took its rocky form.

"Just letting you know , I will not interfere with your fight even if you die. If you actually die , it means you don't have the required skill to continue your adventures."

Before Azar spoke, the golem rushed to Azar with an incredible speed. Azar, dodged it the last second , jumping to the side , missing him for a couple of inches.

*This golem is way to fast, for a big fucking rock. Not to mention that it's a rock and I can't deal any damage to it.*

The room they were was slowly turning into a forest. Azar checked Maju.

*He is turning the room into a forest , with a medium level skill. He must be a transformation magician, I mean all the skills he was using except of the traps is changing shapes and form, the traps was elemental magic which means he can use two kinds of magic.*

How can I win this golem, Azar just understood that he lost the golem from his sight with all the admiration he has for magic.

A sudden pain at his back, and then he exploded meters away.

*Shit, this feels like some broken ribs. Just a punch of this thing exploded me so far. I can use this little time I have , before the golem finds me. Good thing it's a forest and I can make a trap*

After a few minutes the trap was ready, just a big branch with a rope made of leaves holding it, when the golem passes the rope and cut it , the branch will hit it's head , hopefully killing it.

Azar starred making noises , so the golem would find him , in worst case scenario he will either get exploded again or run his breath out.

The golem now found Azar , but not from the correct side. the branch had a possibility of not hitting it, because it is fast enough , he had to slow it down somehow.

*What can I do? There is no much time so... if it won't kill it I will going to get exploded for sure. I might even die.*

He positioned himself at an exact place so the golem would cut the rope and stop to land a blow at him.

The branch started moving the golem already started moving it's hand to ready the blow.

The big branch hit the golem at the neck , making its head crack, but not destroyed, the golem stopped and turned around to check what hit it.

*This is the right time to leave!!!*

He run at full speed in the forest hoping that the golem would lose him and make another trap. But the golem was chasing him down.

*Crap! I should have made a series of traps , how could I be so stupid! At least I can do this!.*

Azar made a sudden 180° turn passing under the golem grabbing a rock heading back to the trap , the golem followed him and this time the distance wasn't that big between them.

They reached the trapped spot jumped to a tree and with all his power jumped to the branch that was now hanging mid air jumped to the golems head and started striking at the cracked spot with the rock.

*The rock will break the rock, but whose rock is going to break first.*

He made some continued strikes , suddenly a shadow was coming closer to him.

*It is trying to punch me while I am at his neck?!?!*

He jumped down and the golem hit it's neck making it's own head fly away. The golem hit the ground and stopped moving.

*Crap , that landing almost killed me.*

Azar tried to get up and go at Maju, but he had broke his leg.

*What the fuck! Shit, my leg. I don't even feel the pain because of the adrenaline, but this is messed up. I broke it just above the ankle. Of course its broken you can't just jump from 7 meters high and expect not to have a broken bone. Fuck me sideways!*

This moment of relaxation and frustration didn't hold long. The golem started moving again , trying to get up.

*What the fuck!!!!...I am going to die, yes of course it will move , stupid , it's life source is the CC not it's head and its probably at his chest. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THROUGH THIS MUCH STONE AND REACH THE CC???*

The golem got up but it seems confused. It is standing straight but its not moving.

*Okay, if I just crawl away to somewhere safe, it's my only option*

Azar started crawling away silently , but the golem started moving at his way, not as fast as previously but accurate enough.

*Wait , wait , wait. How does it know I am here. Why it was waiting. Crap, it had all his focus at the vibrations from the floor, it's heading straight forward me. Think Azar , think!!*

His heartbeat was racing, his leg was broken and his mind was so afraid of the death that was knocking his door right now , that he was unable to think anything.

The golem reached him, it raised it's arm and started the blow with so much force that Azar would explode and found his head , his arms, legs and body to whole different locations.

*That was it. It wasn't much, but I enjoyed my little life.*

A small moment of relaxation, Azar closed his eyes. Suddenly his heart had a strange feeling, he stopped feeling his hands , legs and body , he only felt his head and his weird heart.

*Is this how death from explosion feels, you feel only your head and you think you feel your heart but so, much different that you understand it's not your heart*

This last moment felt like ages for Azar, so he opened his eyes, he saw the hand of the golem right above his chest, painfully squishing him, it is the moment just before his body explodes.

A weird voice sounded at Azar's head. His heart was still beating weirdly.

*Who is this?*

He thought , thinking that he could communicate with the voice. No success .

*I will ask again, who is messing with my last moment!*

(-This means mental conversations-)

-I see, so you can finally hear me?-

-Yes, I can. Would you like to tell what the actual fuck is going on?-

- Yes, of course. I am the voice you always had. But you were either too weak to hear me or too ignorant about me.-

-So you are a female close to me, that tried to talk with me.-

-Oh my god! I knew it was the second. No, stupid , I am something you could call your power.-

-And what can you do right now.-

-Well, it's not up to me... I mean , I can see you are comfortable enough down there, that you are not walking away.-

-I am not comfortable, I have a broken leg , you see, I broke it a few minutes ago.-

- You mean you, HAD , a broken leg and your ignorance is so big that you can't even tell that its fixed!-

-What do you mean it's fi... OMG I can feel my leg and move it.-

-Finally, now get your ass away from that blow, unless you want to die.-

Azar crawled away from the blow, everything was still frozen in place.

-Ummm, do you have a name?-

-Yes, my name is... I am you stupid, of course I don't have a name.-

-Okay so I will call you...-

-Don't you dare call me Lina!-

-I wouldn't!-

-I am in your mind, I know what you are thinking-

-Fuck, you can do that too! Okay then I would call you...-

-For real! you are a freaking genius and inner voice was the best thing you thought?-

-Okay, okay , I will name you another time, now tell me, what other power I have?-

-Nothing.-

-What do you mean nothing!-

-Oh, so stopping the time isn't enough?!?!-

-Oh! right, do you have any suggestions?-

-No I am out of here, you are on your own.-

-WAIT!!!!-

Everything started moving again. The huge blow of the golem sounded from very far.

-Hey!... HEY!!!-

*Fuck, she seriously left me alone. I have to deal with that later. What can I do, I can't just make the same trap. I must find a way to kill this golem.*

Azar sat down and started meditating so he could clear his mind and think straight again. In the meantime, Maju was watching Azar at the time of the blow.

*WHAT THE FUCK!!! How did he escape and where did he go? Did he activate his mana system and got a power we don't even know? This kid... anyway so the training continues, I must find him first though...*

Azar was thinking hard how he could possibly kill the golem.

*I am in a forest, there must be some plants that I could use.*

He got up and walked searching for something useful. The place was huge like a real forest, with a prey and a hunter, but for now Azar is the prey.

*I have to find a way to change our roles. WAIT. Is this a blue apple!!! Damn yea, okay then.*

He grabbed some Blue apples. The night started to fall and Azar started forging up his plan.

*Okay, I am so lucky that I brought my tools for blacksmithing. Firstly I must make a fire, the golem doesn't have it's head so it can't see the smoke, it is navigating through vibrations.*

After a few minutes the fire was ready. He also had a bunch of blue apples and some small metal pieces.

*Okay, Azar, put your knowledge to something practical.*

He made a small plate and put it like a glove just so he could cover his hand.

*Nice, the 'gauntlet' is ready, now let's play with the apples*

He took a very small piece from the apple and hit it really hard with the hammer. The mana inflamed and created an explosion.

*That was way too big explosion just for that small piece of apple, it didn't do much, but if the golem was close, it surely felt that and probably is on its way. I must finish this fast. First I must take all the liquid mana from the apple, who would have thought that mana was so much dangerous.*

He made a hole in the ground, put a leaf from a tree in it and broke an apple in half and the again and again so the piece would be so small. Then he closed the leaf making a roll and tied a small rope so he could hold it with one hand, made some small holes at the leaf.

*My weapon is ready, all I have to do now is climb a tree and wait for the golem to pass.*

After a couple of hours, he saw the golem so he threw some rocks right under the tree to bait the golem.

The golem stopped right under the tree, raise it's arm and strike the floor, at the same time Azar jumped at the golem and punch it at the spot the it's head was missing. The explosion was so big that he flew away falling at a tree, and the golem broke in half revealing the CC.

Azar climbed down the tree, the golem was not moving he run to the golem and took the CC out of it.

Then it gained it's liquid form and returned to Maju, that was watching the scene from a tree.

"Very good job, Azar."

"You , fucking old man, I nearly died out there and you were watching the whole time."

"Yes, I warned you, that I was not gonna help you. Now tell me, how did you escape your death. Did you became a shadow, did you took the form of the air, did you liquefied your self."

"No, I did nothing from that you magic maniac. I don't really know myself, but I am sure that it wasn't magic. But for sure I got that weird feeling to my heart that you were talking about."

"Oh, that means that mana now flows in your body. Okay, you may have not notice but one day here is 3 days outside and..."

"Wait, 3 days passed? Which means I have to pay for an other week at the inn! Fuck me sideways"

"Yes, yes you have to. Now as I was saying , mana now flows through your body and we can go at the second stage of the training. If this took you three whole days the other parts will take at least 2 months."

"You mean I have to pay the inn for two months before I take this warehouse?"

"YES! IS MONEY THE ONLY THING YOU CARE ABOUT? Now please shut up and let me end! At the end of this training you will have selected a path of magic, there is no rule you can be whatever magician you want to be, the more magic you know the better. I have mastered 3 kinds of magic. Transformation magic, elemental magic and the reason I got banned from the magic association, black magic. It's not illegal to know it and use it, it's the way you use it. But that's a different story. For now , you can go home."

Azar went to the inn, took a room for 50% off and rent it for a month with 3 meals a day. Then he was so tired and went to sleep.
