Improvising

Shen looked at me with a raised eyebrow, which honestly scared me a little since his eye was on the verge of opening. Regardless, he only smiled before turning back to look at the chaotic situation in front of us.

I took a deep breath and attempted to gather the mana around me.

Although it was essentially something I had done before, it was hard to gather a ridiculously large amount of mana through just the air alone. When Lumi tutored me, she filled the room with a large amount of mana.

Paired with the fact it was in a contained room, that made it much easier to gather a large amount of mana and use it fluently as I didn't really have to worry about any of the mana I had under control suddenly flying away.

To put it simply, I was essentially working with training wheels.
