Mana Breathing

<A Month Later>

'After tortu-I mean after the mock battle, I can understand other people's characteristics and I am not the only one who learned everything though. so I need to improve my technique and..weapon...ah' Asher Eli thought about today's match while lying on the bed in his room and his roommates are all sleeping soundly due to today's last match.

Eli now knows mostly everything, In order to earn credits he has to be good with studies and fight against more monsters. You can even earn credits from dueling against anyone in the Nex Academia as long as both parties are fine.

But for the First years, they can only duel after 10 months of joining Nex Academia and so during the last month, Eli only had mock battles, he did fight different kinds of people and now he can understand the fight between intelligent beings and brainless Monsters.

In fighting some monsters it is either kill or to be killed and they attack without a care and are not cunning as intelligent beings, so Eli did not worry about changing tactics but fighting against these people is very hard for Eli.

During the half month, everyone changed from worst to better, they were able to fight against Eli and some even broke his hands a few times but even so he was the only winner in this entire month.

During one of his tortu-battle, Eli asked them why they distancing from him but no one was eager to say; so after some tortu-battle, the answer he got was,

"Those who entered the Divisions should join the faction so they can have a safe future and some factions even fight for the student they wanted.

Theos Kingdom's Factions clearly warned other kingdom's factions and other people that no matter the cost, if Eli joined the faction then they have to face everyone in the Theos Kingdom's factions and due to being in Divison-1 not many people were interested in Eli or basically soulless person".

"There are many factions that cannot be counted easily, Even if the people from the same kingdom can choose any faction they want. As long as they don't interfere with Nex's Rule...sigh" Eli mumbled sighed.

So now Eli can only hope to join the Nex and create a peaceful environment or else everyone in the Theos Kingdom will definitely ask him to duel after the 10 months. He can only fight and win against any other kind of people in hand-to-hand combat without Magic.

Due to being the only winner, Eli was rewarded with 60 credits.

From tomorrow onwards, they have to defeat monsters so they could earn credits and within this month they have to reach 100 and that's the primary requirement to participate in the competition.

They have to pay 100 credits in order to join the competition and Eli was the only winner who has 60 credits, other students didn't like that and so started to protest,

"If we fought with our cultivation, he will die before he uses his technique"

"That old man being biased against us"

"Yes, what we want is that If he is strong, then hunt the monster like us and earn 100 credits"

Just like that everyone opposed due to being tortured by Eli. Even those soulless people showed sympathy earlier but now they are envious of him.

At last, Eli had enough of this bullshit and said that "I will gain 100 credits by hunting monsters and accepting the quest provided by Division-1", with that everyone went happily but they didn't know that Eli was planning something else.

In order to avoid meeting his younger sister coincidentally again, Eli chose to stay in Division for an entire month without going outside. Yes, that's right he only avoiding not because of losing his way to division and coincidentally meeting another known person.

"It is the same as that time" He mumbled something.

After a while, He took his technique book and started to read a few pages again,

/MANA BREATHWORK/

Everything in this world is made up of Mana so this Technique can be only used by Soulless who are not blessed by Mana and this technique can also be considered as Soulless's Final Breath Technique.

There are three Elemental basic arts,

Flame Arts

Ocean Arts

Terra Arts

and each has three forms, by inhaling the Air which contains Mana and channeling it throughout the body you can perform,

1st Form: You have to understand the basics of the Element/s/ that can help you to control the Elements around you.

In 2nd Form: You have to induce mana into your body and this form requires /MNEMOSYNE/ technique.

In 3rd Form: You have to become one with Element/s/, it is based on the understanding of Element/s/.

"That's all it said, how am I supposed to understand other forms even though the first form was taught by that guy" Eli mumbled.

"Let's ask the Rock tomorrow" and then he slept due to being over-exhausted.

*****

<Next Day>

In the Staff Room,

"Sorry Eli, there is no one in these divisions who can teach you this technique" Rock said while rubbing his eyes and speaking casually as if Eli was a friend.

"Why is it, Rock?" Eli was confused, 'Why there is no one can teach this technique here? Surely there are at least 10-20 soulless like him in the first years' he thought.

During the last month Eli who had no one to speak to, started to disturb Rock and slowly they become friends.

"Why? Because this place is for talented people, not for some soulless" Rock said solemnly even though this will hurt Eli he has to say this.

"Even so.." Eli downcasted.

"Come on Eli, you are better than other soulless brats who chose to be scholars better than fighter. You don't need to be so down" Rock tried to cheer up Eli but

"I see...I know I am not a bright student..." Eli who had a problem with studies is a literal blow.

"sigh, To tell you the truth there is only one person who teaches this technique and that person works in Nex" Rock sighed.

"Why one?" Eli was confused now because the person who gave this technique to him was clearly in 3rd form in Flame Arts and not much old.
