Chapter 643- Heading for the Auction (2)
Simon tried to control the mana; however, the more conscious that he got of his magic, the more mana it took to cast.
That said, it was not like he was not seeing any progress. He could feel that he had a better grasp of his mana now and the fireballs that he cast, were starting to show a fixed size and shape.
If he continued to practice at this pace, it wouldn't take him too long before his magic control also improved. After another couple hours of intense training, Simon flopped down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Casting novice tier magic continuously, drained his mana and also strained him mentally. To cast any magic, one needs focus. As such, he was more mentally exhausted than physically.
Simon swiped his hand and a couple of orbs releasing beautiful blue light, appeared out of his space ring. These blue orbs are called the Mana Orbs which when consumed, restores the mana inside one's body.
