To be honest, Leo was having a problem with converting the Pure Mana into a Mana with a specific Element. It wasn't similar to his way of absorbing Element Mana when forming his Elementals.
Previously, he could only access a specific rich Element Mana when he was in an area rich with it thus allowing him to form a certain Elemental in his consciousness, which is different from casting Magic Spells where he needed to convert the Mana into a specific Element Mana that his Magic Spell requires to be created.
"Everyone that had failed to complete step two might wonder, why am I unable to convert the Pure Mana into an Element Mana? The truth is, you actually need to learn first the property of each Element Mana before you can successfully convert the Pure Mana into an Element Mana!" Teacher Marvin said as he put his hand up in front before casting a Fire spell.
"Flame!"
A small flame appeared on Teacher Marvin's hand.
"To convert a Pure Mana into a Fire Mana, you need to push the Pure Mana you have accumulated on your hands into a seemingly vigorous state, which would then create heat within them. That is the property required to produce a Fire Mana." Teacher Marvin explained as he changed the red-colored Magic Circle into a blue-colored Magic Circle.
"To convert a Pure Mana into a Water Mana, you need to make the Pure Mana into a soft state, which is the property of a Water Mana..." Teacher Marvin described before explaining the rest of the properties of the remaining Basic Elements.
"To convert into an Earth Mana, you need to make it into a hard state, which is the property of an Earth Mana. To convert into a Nature Mana, you need to make it into a lively state, which is the property of a Nature Mana. To convert into a Wind Mana, you need to make it into a flexible state, which is the property of a Wind Mana...." Teacher Marvin continued as he kept on changing the color of the Magic circle on his hand to each of the different Elements.
While teacher Marvin was explaining, Leo at the same time was also quickly starting to convert the Pure Mana the same way as to how the former had explained. Just by following what was explained, he was slowly able to convert the Pure Mana into a Fire Mana.
*Click!
As if some sort of idea came into Leo's mind, he exclaimed inwardly, "I can finally summon a Fire Elemental!"
Since forming an Elemental needed a specific Element Mana, then with this Fire Mana on his hand, he should be able to finally form a Fire Elemental.
Unfortunately...
He immediately began absorbing the Fire Mana he had converted to his consciousness.
Contrary to his expectations, he wasn't able to form a Fire Elemental. He actually was able to, but he was only able to form the Fire Elemental's up to its lower body before it suddenly vanished from his consciousness along with the Fire Mana he gathered.
"Ha?" Leo became dubious as to why he was unable to finish forming his Fire Elemental. He focused again as he tried to convert the Pure Mana on his hand into a Fire Mana before he began absorbing it through his right palm. However, it was still the same as what had happened on his first try. He could only form the lower body of the Fire Elemental.
Leo wanted to continue trying, but teacher Marvin suddenly started explaining something, which immediately interrupted his focus on his current dilemma.
"Take note; not every Mage, after turning the Pure Mana into an Element Mana, can immediately be able to cast a Magic spell of that Element. You need to always keep in mind that all the Magic Spells need a different amount of Element Mana for you to successfully cast them. And a Mage also has a limited amount of Pure Mana that their body can absorb, thus preventing you from casting Magic Spells that are above your limit." Teacher Marvin explained, which immediately made the majority of the students embarrassed.
To be honest, the majority of them had thought of casting powerful Magic spells just after being able to convert the Pure Mana into an Element Mana. Some people had even thought of casting a Lightning spell, Magma spell, and other powerful Magic Spells that they had thought.
Contrary to the others, teacher Marvin's explanation answered Leo's dilemma.
"So that's why..." He finally understood that the reason why he couldn't form a Fire Elemental was simply because it was above his limit.
This was reasonable though since a Fire Elemental was considered an extremely destructive Elemental, hence it naturally needs a lot of Fire Mana to successfully form. If he can indeed summon such a powerful Elemental despite being a novice Mage, then he would surely be destroying the balance of the Celestial World.
On top of that, he also realized something really important, "If I'm able to raise the capacity of Pure Mana that my body can handle, then will that also allow me to summon more Elementals?"
Thinking about such thoughts, he couldn't help becoming excited.
"Let's test it tonight," He finally decided where to use the remaining six large Mana Stones. If he could raise the absorption limit of his body, then he should be able to summon more Elementals to aid him in earning points. He might even be able to form an army made out of different Elementals.
"Since all of you are finally able to convert a Pure Mana into an Element Mana, then it's time for me to teach you how to cast a Magic Spell. I recommend that let's start with Wind Mana since it's the simplest and easiest Element Mana out of all the Element Mana!" Teacher Marvin said as he motioned to everyone to pay attention.
"I will cast the simplest form of Wind Spell which is called, Wind Dagger. A Wind Dagger is simply a dagger made out of the wind. It's easy to cast since you only need to imagine a dagger in your mind as you slowly form your Wind Mana into that of a dagger. Afterwards, a Magic Circle will form and a Wind Dagger will be cast. Do you all understand?" Teacher Marvin explained while at the same time demonstrating to everyone how to successfully cast a Wind Dagger spell.
All the students nodded their heads in excitement.
'We can finally cast a Magic Spell!'
"Now, it's time for all of you to do it!" Teacher Marvin said as he motioned for everyone to proceed.
All the students started doing the first step, followed by the second step, and finally the last step.
Just like what was explained, they were soon successfully able to cast a Wind Dagger spell.
However, the shape and size of all of their Wind Daggers were different from each other and also from what they respectively imagined in their minds. Some had it long, some had it short, and some had even only formed half of it, which was embarrassing prompting that student to quickly cancel casting his Wind Dagger Spell.
Leo was also successful in his attempt to cast the Wind Dagger Spell. But contrary to the others, what he created wasn't a Wind Dagger, but a Wind Sword.
Just now, when he was thinking of making a dagger, he suddenly thought that he might as well try to form it into a sword to test the limit of his Mana Capacity. Just like what he had expected, he was successful. But what he didn't expect though was the fact that he was actually able to form three Wind Swords.
In an instant, everyone was staring at Leo in shock, admiration, and jealousy evident in their eyes. They were ordered to cast a dagger, surely because Teacher Marvin was considering their Mana Capacity. But someone was actually able to cast three Wind Swords?!
'Just how high was his Mana Capacity to complete such a Magic Spell?!'
Teacher Marvin was also surprised by Leo's Mana capacity, "Just like what I expect from someone recommended by Sword and Magic! But, why was he unable to complete step two just now?" He thought to himself.
Leo was feeling the same way as teacher Marvin at this moment. To be honest, he had only thought of casting one Wind Sword. However, he tried to cast a second one soon after since he felt that he was still not at his limit. But still, he found that he hadn't reached his limit yet right after casting two Wind Swords, so he quickly followed with another one. Three Wind Sword was then cast in such a way, which was the moment he finally found out was his limit.
However, Teacher Marvin suddenly rushed towards Leo. He grabbed the latter's hand as he stared at the three layers of Magic Circles stacked together on his hand, in shock and astonishment.
