I' m only gonna b-b-break your heart

While Jenny had stayed in, two individuals were seen in front of the 'Yrenoir' residence. Tessa knew the boy who is currently with her had questions pertaining 'mana circuits'. However, throughout the journey of walking towards the resident's abode, not once did he ask.

"Mr Yrenoir! I've come to awaken your son, Wilsyn!", she yelled as she knocked on the door.

'Maybe I should invent a bell in this era. That wouldn't be too bad, right?'

Shortly after, the two personnels were welcomed in and sat on the chairs that were placed in a cabaret style manner. On the extreme ends, were Avel and Mr Yrenoir, while Tessa and Wilsyn were in the middle.

While his father was holding on to his son, calming him down, Tessa channeled her mana, focusing it into her eyes. As she does so, she was able to view the paths in which the 'mana circuits' were blocked.

'Since all of them are preoccupied, I might as well view his mana veins and see what she does.'

While simultaneously channeling mana into her eyes, Tessa grabbed onto Wilsyn's left wrist and forced her mana into it.

'Why is she doing that?'

[I pondered as I 'zoomed' in on the boy's mana veins. The only times when my eyes would portray colours, is when I focus them in depth, on a molecular or microscopic level. Hence, I risked having the colours of my eyes being seen at this moment. However, I would glance back and forth between the 3 individuals, making sure that they do not look towards my direction.]

'As of this moment, I can see that his mana flow is incomplete due to one of the paths, and it's crucial because some paths are required to freely allow the mana flow to circulate throughout the body.'

'It's as if you have a train station at end of the road, but you only have a one railroad towards it. In the end, there's no loop around which would allow any train to leave the train station.'

'Of course, this wasn't a problem to me, as the moment I'd been born, I was able to 'see' how my mana flow worked. Even if there were paths that were blocked off and didn't allow any train to go for a loop, I'd will it to an extent that once it reaches the end of the destination, the train would go in reverse without overflowing the mana veins.'

'I fully solved the issue once my mana capacity reached 100%, utilising all of my mana veins. Though what she's doing right now is completely bonkers to me.'

'From what I see, I can tell that she's unable to see the small path that's blocked off that'd complete the loop. Instead, she's breaking apart all of the paths that are connected to the one path that's being blocked off.'

'It makes sense now. Why my mother and sister had paths that are missing while my dad and I don't. They awakened with their blocked paths fully erased.'

"aaAAARGHH!!", the boy cried as some of his mana circuits were being eradicated by the healer.

'What a waste. This boy's mana capacity will now be stuck at a 37% if she erases all of the mana veins that are blocked off. Well, to him that 37% would be considered as a 100%, and he could still grow its' capacity due to the radius of his mana veins, as seen from my mother and myself.'

'I won't step in and stop this. Why should I? I barely know this kid nor his father. Plus, Tess has been acting like a bitch to me ever since I met her today.'

[I stopped focusing my eyes and continued observing the boy wincing in pain.]

'This is gonna take awhile.'

Although it would, Tess took breaks in between the procedure of 'awakening' the boy, which allowed Avel to ask her some questions.

"What if I'm able to awaken and use mana without this procedure?"

"Hm? Don't get too cocky, boy. Although, you might be a Winters' kid, the chances of 'awakening' and having your mana flow circulate freely in your body is too low for you to dream about. Even though I've said that to your parents that I wouldn't need to intervene, it's highly likely that I would have to anyway."

'As long as it's possible, I wouldn't want anyone touching my mana veins, especially not her. Why does she act this way towards me when my parents aren't around?'

[As she'd said that, the moment that she continued her procedure, I'd expelled mana out of my body in a way that'd make my red-skinned train seemed incomplete and unable to fully circulate throughout my body. This was unnoticed by both adults, while the kid had his eyes closed, screaming in pain the whole time. This was a contingency plan, incase she decided to focus her eyes towards me.]

'Earlier, she told me that kids would usually have their magic circuits 'awakened' by the time they're 6 years old. It won't be long 'til I have to use magic in front of my family.'

'Well, for an easier way of comprehending, my eyes only changes colour when I use 'Mana Magnify' viewing mana on a microscopic manner. If I used 'Mana Vision', I'd only be able to see what Tess is viewing as of this moment, the places that are lit by mana, and not the circuits itself. Even I'm not sure as to how I'm able to view the mana veins inside a person's body and magnify it on a molecular level.'

'Also, it seems as though mages would rarely use Mana Vision at all. Earlier on, I realised during my 'spar' against my sister, that she wasn't using Mana Vision at all, though she's capable of multi-casting. I wonder why? Even now, it seems that Tess is having a difficult time using Mana Vision while channeling her mana into Wilsyn's mana circuits.'

'Perhaps it's due to my special eyes. But why was I born with it? Is it the feature I obtain as I'm reincarnated into this world?'

'Identify! Discern! ....fuck it, it's never gonna happen.'

'Sometimes, I'd use Mana Vision to check the progress on the boy's awakening. Any minute now, and he'll be done.'

However, sounds of a loud crash could be heard outside, a few blocks away before the 'awakening' procedure was complete.

"AHAHAHA! This village will fall into our hands!", a maniacal laughter was followed after the proclamation made.
