Forming Mana Path II

When Selina and others see Arthur, they can see he is enveloped by a red aura. The aura is so big that it is enveloped Arthur completely and radius two meters from him.

'Is he has a cheat from God? How can he already do it while all of us still struggling on the second step?' Selina thought while observing Arthur.

"Everyone, sometimes when someone who has a very large amount of mana like Arthur who is an S class mana amount does his or her first meditation, they will be enveloped by an aura that is in the color of their primary affinity. In Arthur's case, it was Fire Element affinity as it was red in color. As for normal people it was usually only white, after they're doing their Signum Ceremony did their aura changed color," Teacher Albus explained the phenomena to his students who confused at Arthur's red aura.

"Come on everyone take a seat comfortably with your spine straight." Teacher Albus then reminded the rest of his students to continue the meditation.

After Selina and her other classmates -minus Arthur who can do the meditation perfectly can do the second step, Teacher Albus gave the next instruction.

"In mana meditation, you want to visualize the beating of the heart and the perfect function of the body. See how all the parts work together in complete harmony. See how the breath sustains all these parts and the body as a whole. Become aware of how the breath is the life-giving force of the entire organism you call your body."

Selina obeyed Teacher Albus' instruction and began visualizing her beating heart and the perfect function of her body. She imagined her heart pumps oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout her body to sustain her life. As the heartbeats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels. The vessels are elastic, muscular tubes that carry blood to every part of her body. Blood is very essential, in addition to carrying fresh oxygen from the lungs and nutrients to the body's tissues, it also takes the body's waste products, including carbon dioxide, away from the tissues.

"The fourth step is to imagine a source that giving energy that you are breathing in along with the air. See this energy as white color. Imagine this energy encompass your entire body and infuse your aura. As this energy infuses your aura, imagine the aura growing stronger, brighter, and being charged with this incredible energy. Do this step gradually, let the aura grow brighter little by little and keep this energy flowing in with each breath."

Selina does as she was told by Teacher Albus and began to imagine one source that gave her energy that she brought to her body along with every breath that she takes. The energy that the source gave to her, Selina imagined it white in color. Then she imagined this white energy encompassed her body like a cocoon then began infused itself to her aura. Her aura then becomes stronger and stronger also brighter each time the energy infused itself. Selina does this step several times until Teacher Albus said they are ready for the fifth step.

"The next step in mana meditation is energizing each point. Start with the root point in the lower back. Imagine a clockwise swirl of energy and the energy you breathe in feeds this swirl and makes it strong and brighter. We want to next imagine another source of energy that is coming up from the earth. This is the same life-giving energy and it adds to the swirling energy at the root point." Teacher Albus instructed while walking to every student, reviewing their mana meditation.

As all students can already energize Root point, next they energize Sacral point, Solar Plexus point, Heart point, Throat point, Third Eye point, and lastly Crown point. They do it for about two hours before Teacher Albus called a break.

Selina doesn't want to waste precious time, so she walking to Teacher Albus.

"Teacher Albus, can you tell me how is Arthur's aura different from mine? We are of the same S class mana amount category but, mine is different from his. My aura's color is white like everyone else in A class mana amount." Selina asked as she is confused at this fact.

Selina was afraid that she was wrong in doing meditation so that the color of her aura is white, unlike Arthur's meditation that immediately showed his primary affinity to Elements.

"Aaah… that was because you're on the different signs of S class mana amount. Do you know that if someone has abundant mana amount, there will be a sign of it?" Asked Teacher Albus.

Selina nodded her head then answered Teacher Albus' question, "Yes, just like you said about Arthur's aura changed color to red even before his Signum Ceremony, from this you can conclude that he like me has S class mana amount."

"There are two known signs of people with S class mana amount. The first one is like Arthur and the second one is to appear when they have their Signum Ceremony. For the second case, what is changed is not just their aura but their hair and/or eyes colors."

"Is that so?" Selina asked with her eyes sparkling in hope of what Teacher Albus said. Because that means she is not mediocre even though she has an S class mana amount like Arthur. It will be a joke should she even with the same S class mana amount is losing against a playboy in the making like that Arthur.

"Selina come here! We are going to discuss what affinity we will have in the Signum Ceremony!" Alexa waved her hand to call Selina.

Selina approached Alexa and the other children who were gathered in a circle on the field not far from where Teacher Albus is.

"What is it about Signum Ceremony?" Selina asked, confused once more at what is happening right now.

"We are discussing the probability of our affinity to certain elements," Alexa answered Selina's question while pulling on her hand.

"You can know about that?" Selina asked, surprised this time.
