Learning [2] - Epiphany

A day had passed in what felt like a blink of an eye... Or at least that was the case with Silas.

Ivy was bored out of her mind, so, at a certain point, she decided to leave and go back to her dorm room, which happened to be in the VIP sector.

She could have asked for a house in the nearby cities and would have gotten it due to her status as a princess, yet, she didn't.

Silas didn't understand it, but he wasn't trying to understand it, even when she told him where she lived.

His eyes were locked upon a book before him that explained why minerals were used in alchemy. Of course, since their knowledge of mana was quite limited, the explanation was quite basic, too.

Mana crystals, just like mana cores one could obtain from monsters and beasts, could hold elements within them. Of course, Silas already knew that. 

However, the explanation given in the book was far from satisfactory.
