Vendryt Strength

Despite Vendryt's threatening looks, the class proceeded with no major surprises.

Vendryt taught us part of the hidden knowledge of mages.

Fundamentally, the mana cells are connected, but in constant movement through our body using the capillaries, and they react according to the nerve synapses to form the spells or magical manifestations of a mage.

As well as generating hypertrophy in a muscle, so does the mana in our body. Consequently, a mage ability can evolve over time, but an evolutionary process is necessary for the body to adapt after each point of evolution.

Now Vendryt wants us to be able to identify the mana control points in our body and use them to observe the flow. To be able to know how much mana we have and the amount needed for each spell.

'Knowing this earlier would have saved me a lot of work...'

"Sit in a circle here, it should help you find your control points." Vendryt spoke as he removed a rug from the floor he was on, making a rune visible.

'They can't move a finger without a rune to help...'

Nobody questioned, and we sat down one by one.

"It will be easy to observe the flow as soon as you identify them, but to do that, you all need to give a little boost to your mana cells and follow the flow until you reach the control points in your body." Vendryt spoke.

Vendryt moved away from us a little and started to speak in a strange language.

"Lorus Lamyuir Tubewri Var Cartelys." As soon as he spoke those words, the rune began to shine with vivid blue.

"Now focus." He spoke and everyone closed their eyes trying to reach the control points.

'He said to give a little boost, let's do it then.' I start to liberate a little bit of dark energy out of my body.

But this time the flow is clear to me, mana cells converting into black energy and the reverse process happening the moment I absorb it back into my body.

'I am pretty sure these mana cells are actually elementary particles. Now let's find the control points.'

I follow the mana moving through my body until I stop seeing my physical body and started to see a spectral plane and then my vision completely darkens.

As soon as my vision comes back, I am again in the abyss.

"You came to visit me." The darkness spoke to me.

"What? No, I was only following the flow of my man." I answered.

"Why were you doing that?"

"I need to find the control point of my mana."

"Control point? If you are referring to the source, then you came to the right place."

"My mana came from here?"

"Yes, yours and of every abyss creature."

"So... I am some kind of abyss creature?"

"No, you are the abyss itself. You are the one providing power to them."

'Here I am talking to the shadows hoping that something she says makes sense, such a waste of time.'

"Just tell me who to control the flow of my mana!"

"Oh, all you need to do is ask for it and shall be provided."

"See? Was not that hard, thank you. Now take me back!"

---

I open my eyes, and I'm back in the room.

'Let's test it now.'

I release some black energy out of my body and absorb it back. In the process, I begin to see the entire flow of mana in my body.

'This is it, I can feel every elementary particle in me!'

With the animation, I quickly get up to observe the uses of this.

Vendryt quickly gets irritated seeing that I leave the state of meditation.

"What are you doing? Don't distract yourself from the training, you little brat!" He spoke.

I didn't care too much since I already manage to complete the goal.

"It's done already, I can see everything." I answered him.

"That's not possible, I heard that you already reached rank C, but it takes a few days even for the best of us to reach our control points." Vendryt spoke irritably as he approached me.

'Some people just get arrogant with old age. I wonder if he would act that way knowing that I'm in rank B already.'

"Yes, but I did it already. Am I on vacation for the next few days then?" I spoke without retreating from my position.

"Vacation? I am going to show you your vacation, I was waiting to do this later today, but since you are on vacation let's do it already." He replied while conjuring a blue fireball in his hands.

"You want to fight me? You are probably going to end up hurt in the end."

"It may not look like, but I'm a rank A!"

'Rank A? Only one rank higher, I can defeat him just like I did with the King Goblin.'

"Let's do it then" I spoke and at the same time I summon Stickyt into my hands.

He throws the fireball at me, I use shadow evasion to dodge.

'Shit, what are this psycho thinking?'

"It's going to hit them too!" I spoke while looking at the rest of the group in meditation, they are concentrated in the influence of the rune to notice this attack.

But as soon as the fireball gets close to them, it curves and comes straight towards me.

'WHAT?'

I use shadow evasion again, but without realizing it, 3 more fireballs are coming my way.

'His attacks follow me, this is very unfair.'

I keep using shadow evasion and summon Mandrake Shield to my hand.

'This is only for physical attacks, But I don't have anything else.'

I use shadow evasion constantly. At least now I can see that this ability barely drains my mana, so I can use it for a while without worrying.

But the closed room didn't help me much. Soon there were as many fireballs following me as there was free space for me to move.

'I need to try this.'

I put my shield in front of me trying to defend one of the fireballs. But it melts the shield the moment it hits it, the impact in me was a little less, but it was still enough to launch me towards one of the walls.

'Shit, I knew this was not going to work.'

Looking ahead I see several fireballs coming towards me, at least 25.

'Shit shit shit shit, I can't avoid this now.'

But the moment they are close to reaching, they just disappear at the same time.

I breathe a sigh of relief, thinking it's over, but when I look to the side I see that one of them is still coming towards me.

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
