chapter 4: the color of mana and its layers

After sleeping belion woke me up and gave me a part of a rabbit that was also my breakfast, but this time I asked belion if he would let me cook his piece he accepted it and when he tasted it he said that the taste was better for what he asked me to cook his part from now on, I told him that there was no problem, now we will start the second process.

"Well, I will explain the second step: the colors of mana" Belion said calmly, "this step is essentially similar to the previous one, but it is a greater control since it requires more practice time, you will see the mana you manipulated yesterday was pure mana and its color was white, this is the one you will use for a manipulation attack when you think it is convenient or to improve parts of your body, but there are more colors in your body, the advanced elements have their own color and the basic ones too, these when used in a spell needs you to use those colors, for example I have to change from white to blue when using water prison, but in a fight you will have to use two or more colors so first I will help you change the color of your mana , spread it and manipulate it on your body to end up being able to use all the colors at once" said belion.

"I will get behind you again and I will give you my attribute of water so you can see the colors after that we will continue with the next step, for this do not close your eyes, but concentrate" said belion to put his paw on my shoulder, He moved his mana to my core, but this time I could feel and see the mana in a different way. It was blue, when it reached my core, different colors appeared in my mind.

"The colors you see in your mind are the elements you have later you can have more, but now we will focus on changing the color think that your core will not come out white but blue" I said what he asked me and it came out little by little of the color blue, "this is the element of water it will come out at a different speed than the white because it just came out, practice until you can get to the same level as the white then change the color again and repeat the process I will be here watching your process" said belion to let go of his paw and let me do the exercise.

All this took me five hours to achieve with all the elements, blue was water, green was wind, yellow was wind, black was darkness, gold was speed, gray was gravity, light blue was frost, a lighter white was ice and a lighter blue dark was mist.

"I see you're done" said belion when he saw me leave my concentration, "so it's a long process" I said while panting from the fatigue of changing mana, "your tiredness is because it's the first time you change mana now we will improve the change of mana with the two hours that we have left" said belion.

"this time it's easier just spread your mana of one color a little and retract it later you have to change the color until you do it immediately don't stop, after that we will eat the midday and finish with the last step to finish with the second level" said belion to which I nodded, after I stopped panting I returned to the position and did what he asked me.

This took me a total of an hour and a half, Belion congratulated me and gave me my share of the lunch and the cook's share so I could eat and finally finish the second day of my training.

"well the last step is to make more than one type of color coexist with each other, this is achieved in the following way, by spreading a color throughout your body you have to make another color flow in exactly the same way as the first by doing that work as layers once you reach this level you can use more than one element" said belion explaining to me what I had to do.

It took me about 8 hours to achieve this process being something new so it ended well in the night, this took longer because belion asked me to add as many layers as I could achieve after the 5th layer my body could not release more colors so belion explained to me that each body has a limit and that mine was that and that his was 3 so it was considered good.

On the other hand, the next day after achieving the second level, belion asked me to just wear a colored cape after eating to start the explanation process, and then explain the next stage to me in the afternoon.

"The third level is a different world since we will enter an intermediate between the use of mana inside and outside, you will have to make your mana circulate about three centimeters outside your body in a uniform way, you will have to use this to learn reinforcement later, but first let's focus on this step" said belion.

"make your white color all over your body" I quickly did as he asked, "the mana goes into the shape of your body now take some of that color out of that mold don't forget just three centimeters after that return that mana to the mold, repeat the process as many times as necessary until you feel ready and then change the color" said belion explaining to me what I had to do.

This took me 8 hours until I could perfect it to a considerable level as my inner drive, after that me and belion had lunch and then belion started explaining the next step:

"You are going to do the same thing as with the layers, you will combine the colors in a uniform way and take the time you consider necessary for this" he said to which I agreed, this took me six hours until I could finish everything just in time to be able to have dinner and then After we finished, I talked a bit with Belion.

"belion how do you consider my growth process" I said to which he fixed his attention on me, "you have grown quite fast, those of your species reach the level where it is after a month and a half, but that allows us to advance more quick, the only problem I find is how you will learn the other elements that I do not have" said belion.

"There is no place like a ruin where we can find information about my elements" I said to which belion looked at me as if he had an idea, "now that you mention it I have met some human buildings that keep records of elements other than mine for what could work" said belion thoughtfully.

"and how will we find them" I said seeing that, if there was a solution, "all we would have to do is locate ourselves after I show you the water and wind together with the advanced elements that I master we will go in search of those places and maybe we will find forms of physical training you want to do" he said to which I smiled at his reply.
