LET'S START THE TRAINING

Haldir said "are you both ready"

both said "yes master"

Haldir said " Alma, I will start from you. you have started too early from others, but the process of your absorption is slow. at this rate, it will take 3 years for your mana to burst. so today, I will teach you a method. which can help you increase your absorption speed.

Eric thinking (now it's time for me to see, how a normal person in this world absorb mana. )

Haldir said, "try to absorb mana."

Alma sits down and starts absorbing mana. Haldir sits behind her. put his hand on her back and start observing her process. then he sends a little mana from his body into her. and said "observe the flow of mana that I send into you. caught it, and burst it into the atmosphere. make a ring in the atmosphere. only focus on the ring. it will work as your vacuum. it will suck the atmosphere particles way faster than the normal method.

Eric thinking (what! what was mean by that?)

Alma said "this method is working. that vacuum ring helping me to increase the absorption. you are great master."

Haldir said proudly "it's my original method. I created it. you are the first one to learn it."

Alma said "thank you, master. you are awesome"

Haldir proudly smiling.

Eric asks a question "master. what do you mean by atmosphere particles."

Haldir said "you are an awakened and asking me. what is atmosphere particles."

Eric said "I mean. you said particles. it means only mana. right?

Haldir said " when I said particles, it includes everything in the atmosphere. which include mana too."

Eric thinking ( now I understand why it takes them a long time to be awakened.)

Haldir said "any other question eric."

Eric said "no"

Alma starts absorbing mana. Haldir went near Eric and said, " now it's your turn."

Haldir take Eric a little far from Alma and said " for learning attribute magic, first you have to merge with them. it's easier than merging the soul with the sword because every living being is made of these attributes. today we will start with fire magic. Haldir shows a fireball and throws it, and small explosion.

Haldir said " it's basic fire magic. for doing this, first, start controlling the fire that is in your mana room.

when you control that fire. call mana out, it will appear as a form of fire, and in the shape that you imagine. now start, controlling your fire. When you will be able to spell fireball. Then we will proceed to the next step. now start."

Haldir goes back home, from where Aldon was watching them.

Aldon said, "why you came early?"

Haldir said, "Alma is absorbing mana, and Eric is trying to control fire."

Aldon said "you should have stayed with Eric. his learning speed is way faster than an average genius"

Haldir said " compare to learning high-class magic. controlling attributes and learning basics is way harder. he may be a genius of geniuses. still, it will take some months to learn it, after all, it took me 7 months."

suddenly they hear an explosion

Haldir was shocked and said "it's impossible"

Aldon smile and said again "if it's him, then...

Haldir "ok, ok. I got it. you don't need to tell me again. I won't be surprised if he does something impossible next time."

Aldon laugh

Haldir went back to Eric then he shows him Earth attribute basic, a wall comes out from the ground and said "it's a defence spell. for this you have to do the same, what you did with the fire attribute. after this, your today's lesson is over."

for Eric this spell wasn't difficult, he did it in his first attempt.

Haldir thinking (what kind of monster he is? is he really a human. )

then Haldir went to Alma.

Aldon takes Eric to a little far place from the house.

Aldon said "now you understand the basics of controlling attributes. the same thing that you did with fire and earth, you have to do the same with water and wind. for wind, you have to learn to make a windshield. and for water, water ball"

Eric does the same as Aldon told. because of his learning and understanding speed, learning spells was easy for him.

Aldon said " learning high-level spells doesn't make you strong. but how you use it in the battle, make you strong. sometimes a strong spell caster loses to a weak spell caster. it's because of the lack of experience. if you can cast a strong spell. it doesn't mean you are strong. on the battle, the thing that matters the most is experience, intelligence, right decision making. you have everything except the experience of using spells. now I will train you for battle experience. so be prepared.

after a few hours both return

Eric said "you are a cheater. you said you will only use the basic spell.

Aldon said "in battle, you should have your trump card in case of emergency.

Eric said "it means, I am capable of making you use your trump card.

Aldon said "you are thinking too much. as I said before, it's for the experience. I did this just to give you experience."

(this brat, how can he be so good in long-range attack. as if he has a lot of experience. if I hadn't used that spell, I don't know what would have happened to me.)

Aldon ask "what were you doing with your hands? when you were casting the spell."

Eric answer " my hand. I am using my hand like a gun, it was fun to do that way."

Aldon ask "what is a gun?"

Eric said "nothing, I am just giving this hand posture name, gun. ( I forgot, they didn't know about guns.)

Aldon looking him with a confused face.

they went into the House. where Haldir had prepared dinner.

Eric went to bathe and come for dinner.

Alma said, "where were you both?"

Aldon said, "We both went to walk, my dear."

Alma said "why didn't you take me. I was bored here."

Eric said "Princess, we went to look around. To be sure next time we go for a walk. so we won't be in trouble"

Alma said "really"

Eric said, "yes princess, next time we can go for a walk together."

after eating food, they all went to their room.

Eric sitting on the chair on his balcony looking at the stars. he hears a voice."Eric"

Eric looks behind. Alma standing on her balcony looking at him.

Eric said "what's the matter princess"

Alma said, "I hear from grandpa that, you awakened at age of 5. how you do that."

Alma is Aldon's great-granddaughter, so he decides to help her.

Eric said " do you want me to help you"

Alma said "yes"

Eric said, "princess can you please step back."

Alma steps back and Aldon jump from his balcony to her.

Eric said " princess, I can help you, become stronger. but you have to promise me, you will never tell about this to anyone."

Alma said "not even master"

Eric said "no one. not even grandpa, mommy, papa. no one.

Alma said "I promise. I won't tell anyone.

Eric said " listen, princess. the reason that the process of absorbing mana is slow in people. is because they absorb everything in the atmosphere. which reduce the concentration of mana, that are entering our body. instead of absorbing everything, you should focus only on mana particles."

Alma said, "How can I do that?"

Eric said " Princess sit down. start absorption"

Eric sits behind Alma, put his hand on her back.

Eric said "princess stop. don't absorb. first, remove that ring that master made."

Alma remove the ring

Eric said "now focus on atmosphere. look into the atmosphere. see if you can see golden dust."

Alma reply "I can see golden dust"

Eric said, "that thing is mana, now try to absorb them."

Alma said, "I am trying, but it isn't working."

Eric sends some mana into Alma body. mana travel through her body to the atmosphere and make way for mana particles.

Eric said "now try again"

Alma said, "it work, I can see mana particle enter my body, that's a lot of mana."

Alma understands, how she has to absorb mana then she said "Grandpa told me many things about you. you are awesome."

Eric said, "grandpa told you, when ?"

Alma said "grandpa came to me yesterday night.

he told me so many things about you, he came to me today too. he just talks about you. how good you are at fighting. you are a good swordsman too.

he told me, I can learn so many things from you. especially those moves who you show grandpa when you both first met."

Eric can't say no to a face as pretty as her with a spirited face. and in addition, she is related to grandpa.

Eric said "ok, I will teach you. but you have to promise me, it will be a secret between me and you.

Alma reply " I will never tell about this to anyone. I will keep it a secret.

this will be our secret......"
