A healer's armament

If I remember correctly, from what I read. In order to know what beginner skill I have, I first have to focus on my armament....

(Beginner skill: Healing aura. When activated mana from the air is turned into healing mana and any light injuries within 3 meters will be healed. Effects of the healing mana only apply to whomever the user considers an ally.)

I see... beginner skills aren't useful but I guess it can't be helped. Though I do wonder what exactly is considered a light injury? The term itself is extremely vague, what can be considered 'light injury' depends on two things. Who you're asking and in which situation you're in

There's also the last excerpt which implies that I would be using it to heal the people around me. Also what happens when you slightly doubt a person, and you barely consider them an ally? This skill is kind of useless. The only way for me to find an actual use for this is if I make it stronger.

Usually, any skill can get stronger if used frequently. Of course, so can mythical skills but it's counter-effective. Two reasons, there's a good chance you'll die if you use them frequently and mythical skills are already extremely powerful.

Though, I do feel something else within the armament... And that is this, another skill! I wonder what type of skill it is.

(Master skill: Healer's warcry. When activated, for 5 minutes the armament will absorb mana from the atmosphere, equal to .5 percent of the user's mana capacity, per second. This will be converted into body strengthening magic and healing magic. Cooldown: 4 hours)

Wow! A master skill right off the bat, and it's pretty good. Though I still hate how vague it is. What exactly is ".5 percent of my mana"? Also, by calculating this wouldn't this put at 150 % of my original mana capacity? Would I die if I don't use any of the mana then... I'd rather not test that.

So this probably is what books meant when they said that you need a "better understanding of your armament." It's still a pretty useful skill though I'm not sure why I have a master skill right off the bat... I want to test it out though. I stand up with my jacket still on me, however, I quickly feel devoid of any power and fall back down...

My armament disappears... shit, I forgot this also takes a toll on you. I stand up again and fall back down. Yeah, I'll stay down here for a few minutes... Even if it's supposed to take a toll on you I've read that on your first manifestation you should be able to keep it up for half an hour. It's only been around 5 minutes since I manifested mine and I haven't even used it...

I can only think of one reason for this. The armament is too strong for me.

The toll an armament takes on you depends on four things, the level of your magic control, your mental fortitude, your physical strength, and how used to you are to the skills the armament has as well as each skill's strength. I am confident in my mental fortitude and physical strength, however, my magic control is definitely one of the worst in the academy.

As for the skills, well the master skill definitely takes a toll on me since it's probably too powerful. Since master skills are already somewhat rare to have and you only get it after you gained some knowledge of your armament. And since knowledge of your armament happens over a long time and by then you get used to wearing your armament.

However, I brought out my armament in two days despite my poor magic control and one of the skills the armament has is too strong for me. I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse but I either train with the armament until I'm left in my current state or focus on magic control until I am good enough for my armament.

Well, it's not like I'll die if I keep using my armament like this right?... I sigh, we'll see where this takes me I guess. I get up and walk to the control room, I still have about 50 minutes left, do I continue training?... Too risky, there's a chance I'll pass out or something. But it's too early to end the day right now, I walk out of the room and go down the staircases...

Is there a way to train later into the night?... According to the rules...there is a loophole! If I remember correctly magic is allowed to be used on "designated areas" and I only have to be within the facilities so I can go to one of the arenas and train by myself.

Arenas aren't used at night and I'm already able to function properly with 3-4 hours of sleep a day. This loophole was probably made on purpose, I'm not sure why though. I don't care though, I might as well use it. So the best course of action would be to take a nap and then head out to a dueling arena to test out my magic.

Alright, that will do! I head outside and start walking to the dorm, I feel a presence following me... What the fuck, not again! I start speeding up a little bit...bad Idea, I'm not in the best shape to try and run away.

I guess I can't really avoid her cause I feel like crap so I will just get them what they want and make them leave. Ugh, this is so irritating.

"What the fuck do you want?! Are you some sort of fucking stalker!?"

Vanessa comes out of her hiding place again.

"I thought for sure that this time you wouldn't be able to sense me!"

"You still lack too much experience! What exactly do you want?!"

"Geez, someone is irritated."

Of course, I am, I feel sluggish due to the toll using my armament had on me and dealing with you is annoying!

"Very, so make it quick. And if you start talking about Allen I'm just gonna leave."

"Well, remember how you said that I should start stating my own opinions."

"Yes, what about it?"

"Just because it annoyed me, I will have you take that back by proving you wrong. So I will hang around you and tell you my own opinion of you."

And how exactly did this idiot arrive at this conclusion?... Ugh, this is annoying.

"I take it back and I acknowledge that you have your own opinion."

"I didn't feel any sincerity in that statement!"

"How the hell do you can you 'feel sincerity'?

"I just can!"

I sigh. I don't care anymore.

"Do what you want."
