6 6. Maybe Friend
"Now that I gave you a name You're kind of like a pet." I reached my arm towards Ignis as I said that and he began to growl. "I guess you aren't really a pet yet, you still need to warm up to me a little more." "Sir, you have made very good progress, seeing as you are in its home and usually after they are fed and regain their strength they would kill you if you are in its territory." "Wow I didn't know they were that ruthless." "Yes this is the reason I suggested you kill it instead of trying to make friends."
"Hey Benjamin, this wolf is a magic beast right." "Yes, this is a magical animal called a magic beast." "Can I use magic like this wolf can?" "No, this wolf was born with its magic, you on the other hand do not have any innate magic because the humans from your Earth can not use magic, or more accurately did not know it existed and therefore never never did use it. Even so all humans have the capability to use magic." "So I will be able to use magic at some point!" "Yes, at some point."
"So how do I learn magic" "Well sir the reason the humans on your Earth never learned to use magic is because you can only learn to use magic after you can use it. It is more like an instinct that the humans on your Earth never developed because they instead used tools." "So you're saying that because my ancestors used tools instead of magic all of the rest of humanity on my Earth can't use magic." "Yes this is what I am saying." "So how will I learn to use magic if I never had it in the first place." "Well after enough generations of humans not using magic they gained a very rare trait on my Earth, this trait is very powerful if used correctly, it is called neutral mana." "So how does it work." Benjamin then explained that neutral mana means that instead of having innate magic like Ignis if you have neutral mana you can use any type of magic that you experience.
"So how do I experience magic, what does that mean?" "Basically it means that you have to come in contact with specified mana, which is normal mana that all beings have except for the ones born with neutral mana." "So does that mean that every being from your Earth can use magic?" "No sir, it only means that every being is born with the capability to use magic some people or animals can not manipulate the mana or have underdeveloped mana pools and cannot use their mana to use magic." "Wait does that mean there are other ways to use mana." "Not exactly it is more like because mana is the essence of life having more mana and better control of your mana will make you stronger and live longer."
"So how are people born unable to use magic but also have its other benefits." "Because people are born with mana if your mana pool is underdeveloped then you may be able to control and circulate your mana through your body to strengthen it but you do not have enough mana to use magic, the people or animals unable to manipulate mana are called inept and can not gain any benefits from the mana they are born with." "Can you tell if I can manipulate my mana?" "The only way to find out if you can is to meditate and try to sense your mana pool in the center of your body and try to circulate that mana around your body like blood."
After sitting down and trying to sense my mana pool it took around Half an hour just for me to find my mana pool, but I was never able to move my mana or draw it out of the pool. "Do you think I could be inept." "No sir I doubt it, you are just impatient, it takes time to gain control of your own mana. You must first learn to walk before you try to run." "What are you talking about, I'm sitting on the floor." "Very funny sir, but you must first practice drawing the mana out before you can move it around your body."
