One by one, the blades of every student started glowing—each in a different color.
But my blade remained as it is. It was not glowing at all.
It was just as before; like a normal sword. I looked around and saw that the other students were now swinging their blade in the air and testing it out.
What went wrong? I didn't know.
I concentrated again, this time with my eyes closed. I again visualized my mana flowing through my hands, entering the sword from its handle and then channeling it into the blade.
I felt the energy passing from my body to the sword, still, the connection Ryfin explained was nowhere to be found. I was not able to feel the sword as a part of myself but only as a sword.
I opened my eyes and saw that the blade was still not glowing. Something was wrong, I don't know what.
As I was trying, again and again, Ryfin noticed me. I mean, it is easy to find a dull and dark blade among the bright and shining ones.
