Mana core

Professor Muza speaks after a break.

" So let's start with the most crucial thing about warriors, their mana heart. The most important thing for a warrior is their mana core. So in most the creatures' mana core is present in the center of the Heart. If your mana core shatters then you will most likely die or become crippled.

First, what is mana?

So mana is the combination of 6 basic natural elements in equal amounts. The 6 natural element Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark forms a stable structure. That structure is known as Mana. Mana has no element property but it is made from a combination of elements. The reason behind the neutral nature of mana is that opposite elements cancel each other out to form a stable structure.

We all know that 6 elements are always present on Altasia as these are basic building units for any creation. There is a theory that these 6 elements always try to combine but for eons, there were not able to form a stable structure, But something must happen which led to a change, and these 6 elements formed a stable structure. That single first successful structure changes the whole world.

Now many of you may be wondering why I am telling you all that. Well, the reason behind this is that to become a strong warrior you must understand the core of the warrior path. The magic path is fully based on these studies or scrolls.

Next, is How does mana core work?

So when you are present in the same level of land as your mana core then your core will automatically try to absorb the atmospheric mana and separate the body's natural element to strengthen the core. That is a natural process but there are a few things that can strengthen that process.

1st. is the Color of the land sub-parts. The red color ground is worst for any level ground. The Violet training ground is best at any level. If you train in a red training ground it will take 9-12 years for you to increase your power from level 0 stage 1 -> level 0 stage 2. The same guy will take 3-4 years on a level 0 Violet-color training ground.

If I talk standard use of land then it is like this.

For level 0 red and orange color ground are known as trash ground. Many mortal villages and cities are built on these grounds.

The level 0 yellow grounds are used by small warrior families.

Academies are built on Green and blue grounds depending on their performance in regional wars.

The Indigo level is used by large families and organizations in the country.

Violet grounds are for royalties and ancient families. Better training grounds help better in training. This is the only case for level 0 grounds level 1 and others have their distribution system.

2nd is Potential. A person with high potential will take less time than a person with less potential.

3rd is Training in Arts or Scrolls. Many arts fasten your mana absorption process. The thing is that whenever you train your body will try to absorb more mana. So if you train more than others then your speed will be faster than others but this only shows a minimal effect.

4th are supplements like Mana rich food or rare herbs. Consuming them will increase your mana absorption rate.

5th is war, Yes you heard right. The place you get teleported to war is, even more, better than Violet level ground. So participating in war is the most effective way to increase the absorption rate. Anyone who survives his first war will definitely become Stage 2 warrior before the next war that is a fact.

There are many other orthodox and unorthodox ways but you need to search for them on your own.

Now everyone wants good grounds of different levels for themselves or their families. Now to distribute these grounds war happens. Not for level 0 or 1 but natural places for higher rank are very limited in numbers. To get a place on those grounds wars happens."

Seeing many children distress about some training grounds. Muza again tries to lighten the mood.

"You guys love to hear that our academy is on blue ground. So we are on the best we can get. So mana absorption in mana core 2 type.

When a warrior first forms his core it is empty. Now he needs to absorb mana to start filling the core. A core is like a deflated balloon. A warrior needs to blow mana init. But unlike a balloon, it does not deflate after mana leaves it.

What this means is every time you absorb mana it will take more time as you need to expand the core. Let's say your core has 5% mana capacity now for the first time you increase it from 5 to 10% it will take more time. But once your core capacity reaches 10% then it will take less time to fill it to 10% even if it is empty.

So, mana core starts from 2% min capacity. If you expand your core to 30%, you reach the peak of stage one of that level. In stage one mana present in your core is in the gas state. If you expand your core by more than 30% you will enter the 2nd stage of that level. 2nd stage is from 30% to 60%. In stage 2 mana present in your core will change to a liquid phase. After 60% you will enter stage 3 of that level. Stage 3 is from 60% to 100% and mana present in your mana core will be in the solid phase.

These changes in the mana phase in the core result in a power difference in different stages of the same level. Once you achieve 100% of stage 3 you will need to meet some conditions. If you meet them you can try to increase your power level(evolve). After advancing the power level your core will once again shrink back to 2% min mana capacity. But this time you need the higher level ground to absorb from.

So this is the process a warrior increases his level. This is it for today's class. Tomorrow I will tell teach you about the Level up requirement, What are Arts, Scrolls, and skills and history of World war."

After walking out of the class they start walking toward the training ground. At the training ground. Jin and Eric met with Ron and 2 girls. Jin asks the group.

" Hey, guys what do you plan to do before the next class starts? There's like 2 hr gap between both classes."

Ron speak.

" I am planning to go to the canteen with Ketty."

Ketty just nodded her head. Jin turns toward Jenny.

Jenny says pointing toward Ron and Ketty.

"I all join them."

"mm, OK let's go to the canteen then."

They all nodded and turn toward Eric.

" I am not going. I will train for these 2 hrs."

Saying that Eric starts running around the ground.

Watching Eric run like that both girls feel displeasure. On side Jenny comment.

"What is his problem? Only training, Training, and again training. I never see him doing anything other than his training."

Jin teases her.

"Oh, What about his night session with you? That is not training is it."

"You know what, Sometimes I feel like he is doing sex with me for some kind of training. For fuck sake do you ever see him talking nicely to me? He only treats me like a tool."

Jenny burst into crying after saying that. Seeing her like that drop down the mood. Everyone tries to console her. Jin at the side speaks for Eric.

" You guys don't know. Eric is training because he has no foundation in any art. At the start, he did not even know to properly swing his blade. Now because of his hard work, he has become capable of blocking our attacks. His attack is still poor. You can only imagine the stress in our spar where he is helpless to only block or parry our attack. Give him the time he will open to us."

At the side, Ron frown and speak.

"You said you only knew him for 2 months. Then why are you acting as if you've known him for decades."

" haa, You can call it my man instinct which always helps me from birth. My instinct is telling me that staying with him will benefit me."

"So you are only for benefit with him. You are only using him."

Ketty speaks from the side. Shaking his head Jin speaks to Ketty.

" Eric knows that I am using him and he is using me in reverse. It matter of win-win for both of us. Don't you guys are the same? Ron join us because he wants to train and protect you. I know that with his strength he can easily join Nico or Emily's group. But because of your c- potential you will not able to join that group. So you choose your next best option. Ron was stronger than both of me and Eric. You join us for the protection from 2 A rank potential."

Ketty moves her head down in shame. She knows that his brother only joins these guys for her safety. She still slowly speaks in a low voice.

"Then why let us in."

"Haa, you need to ask that. Of course, we want to train with Ron. Where can we get such a strong partner just to let you use our name for protection? It wins for us in this case, We can take a piece of baggage like you in our team."

Hearing the harsh truth from Jin's mouth Ketty starts crying. Seeing her cry Ron could not control himself and suddenly punched Jin in the face. Due to Ron's high strength, Jin fell to the ground and blood start coming out of his nose. Both Ketty and Jenny stop crying. They were shocked at how quickly the situation escalated. Sensing what he has done Ron quickly walks toward Jin to help him.

He tries to support Jin to get up but Jin pushes him back. He angrily stares at Ron.
