Sitting on a chair, Leo then started flipping the book for the Short Distance Blink spell.
Short Distance Blink spell was one of the most important Magic spells that he should have learned before.
During the Escorting Veronica mission, specifically at that time when they were trying to escape the guards' wagon to head towards the Yellow Forest, if he and Cassandra knew how to cast the Short Distance Blink spell, then they could have distanced themselves more farther away from those men of the Black organization. Not only that, but they might have also been able to finish the mission within 2 days, a day less compared to before.
Leo shook his head in regret. However, he quickly dismissed such regretful thoughts.
If he had indeed known how to cast the Short Distance Blink spell at that time, then he wouldn't have found the Yellow Skinned Anaconda's nest.
Misfortune is always followed by fortune. So, him not learning the Short Distance Blink spell wasn't worthy of any regret as he had stumbled upon something really fortunate.
Flipping through the book, Leo immediately started reading the Short Distance Blink spell introduction.
'The Short Distance Blink spell would allow the caster to travel for a short distance in a blink of an eye... To cast a Short Distance Blink spell the caster needed to gather Pure Mana in their hand, then guide these Pure Mana to cover their entire body. Afterwards, use the Pure Mana to push the entire body towards a chosen direction as the caster also take a step forward at the same time... Take note that the amount of Pure Mana a caster has gathered would decide the strength of the Short Distance Blink spell. Hence, when the Pure Mana the caster has gathered is all consumed, the Short Distance Blink spell would also stop in that specific position. Simply put, the distance traveled by the caster totally depends on the Pure Mana they gathered to their body.'
"Oh, this is easier than I thought!" Leo said as he stood up from the chair before closing his eyes as he then began casting the Short Distance Blink spell.
There wasn't anything hard on the Short Distance Blink spell. Actually, it was a lot easier compared to converting Pure Mana to Element Mana that teacher Marvin had explained before.
Closing his eyes, Leo then began to slowly gather the Pure Mana to his hand before slowly guiding it to cover his entire body. Next, he used the Pure Mana that covered his entire body to push him towards a direction while at the same time he took a light step forward.
*Bang!
*Pupupupuk! *PukPuk!
After casting the Short Distance Blink spell, Leo crashed directly towards a bookshelf, causing some books to land on his head.
Leo can't help but label himself as stupid. Not because he crashed towards a bookshelf, but because he had actually casted the Short Distance Blink spell while closing his eyes. Obviously, because he had closed his eyes while casting, he was not able to determine which location he would want to go to. And since he was facing a bookshelf when he was casting the Short Distance Blink spell, hence he crashed directly towards the bookshelf afterwards.
"Stupid me!" Leo mocked himself.
Leo slowly stood up from the ground as he returned to his seat. He then casted the Short Distance Blink spell once again, but this time he was facing in which direction he wanted to go.
*Whoosh!
"Success!" Leo exclaimed in excitement.
After casting the Short Distance Blink spell, Leo, in a blink of an eye, appeared next to the staircase.
Leo casted again, then he suddenly appeared next to the study table.
"Next, Gravity spell!" Leo said excitedly as he sat down on his chair and took out the book for the Gravity spell in the pile of books at his side.
'The Gravity spell would allow the caster to change their body's gravity, making it lighter or heavier as one wishes... To cast a Gravity spell, the caster needed to gather Pure Mana in their hands then guide these Pure Mana to cover their entire body. The Pure Mana would then act as the tool to lighten or to make the body heavy by pushing the Pure Mana upwards or downwards, depending on what situation the caster needed the Gravity spell for... Take note that the amount of Pure Mana a caster has gathered would decide the strength of the Gravity spell. Hence, the more Pure Mana a caster has gathered, the heavier or lighter they could adjust their gravity.'
"Are Support Magic spells as easy as this, or does its difficulty depend on its usefulness...?" Leo can't help but think inside his mind.
The Short Distance Blink spell and the Gravity spell were almost the same. The only difference was how to use the gathered Pure Mana in order to make the Magic spell work. The former needed him to push his body forward towards the desired location, while the latter on the other hand needed him to push his body downwards or upwards.
Leo repeated the steps written in the book.
The Gravity spell was a lot easier compared to the Short Distance Blink spell, as he doesn't need to face a desired location like the latter. Even if he closes his eyes, he would still be able to cast the Gravity spell without any problem.
"Hmmm... If I only need the Pure Mana to act as a tool, then can I..." Leo thought before suddenly closing his eyes and gathering all the Pure Mana to cover his 2 feet. He then walked towards a wall. And while facing the wall, he suddenly put his right foot on it, then the left foot afterwards.
Just like what Leo had expected, he was able to achieve the Wall Walk spell.
"Doesn't this mean..." Leo wanted to confirm something as he quickly covered his entire body with Pure Mana. The Pure Mana was a lot denser to the point that his whole body and the surrounding Pure Mana have somewhat merged with each other.
"Cloak spell!"
After casting the Cloak spell, Leo didn't dismiss the Pure Mana he had gathered. He quickly gathered more Pure Mana from the surrounding, then quickly guiding it to cover his entire body. The Pure Mana this time was a lot denser compare to the Cloak spell. It was even to the point that even if a person looks at his location, they won't be able to find him anymore, no matter how carefully they looked around. Unless, of course, if they casted a Magic spell to specifically locate him or if they are powerful enough to ignore the Invisibility spell he had casted.
"Invisibility spell!" Leo let out a laugh of triumph. Then, quickly, he guided the Pure Mana again. He put his hand in front, before ordering it to move towards a book on the bookshelf.
"Hahaha, stealing spell!"
Leo guided the Pure Mana once again. But this time he only covered his entire arm, making it heavy. Then he suddenly punched the study table.
*Bang!
The table was immediately split into two.
"Strength Increase spell!"
Leo suddenly grabbed a book at the side, he covered it with Pure Mana and making something like a strand made out of Pure Mana towards a specific location to act as the book's guide. Right after, he suddenly threw the book.
*Bang!
The book landed precisely where he wanted it to land.
"Precision Increase spell!"
Leo waved his hand, guiding the Pure Mana to his hand once again. Then, he guided the Pure Mana towards his lower body, but he also covered the upper body with Pure Mana, though the majority of Pure Mana were all allocated to his lower body. Following after that, he used the Pure Mana he had allocated in his upper body to make his weight a bit heavier, for balance purposes. And finally, using the Pure Mana he allocated to his lower body, he pushed forward as he then made his feet run around the library.
*Whooosh!
Leo was now running fast around the library. Though it wasn't as fast as the Short Distance Blink spell, which was an instantaneous type of Magic spell, but still he could travel fast. Moreover, he could control where he wanted to go with the Speed Increase spell.
"Hahahaha, Speed increase!" Leo laughed in excitement.
Leo finally understood how the Support Magic spells works.
It wasn't hard, seriously. To be honest, he only needed to imagine what he should do with the Pure Mana in order for him to achieve the specific purpose of the Support Magic spell he wanted to cast. Like for example the Strength, Precision, and Speed Increase spell, he only needed to imagine how the Pure Mana should function in order for the Support Magic spell to work.
"Hahahaha... I only came here to learn a few Magic spells, yet I actually learned the general rule in casting a Support Magic spell!" Leo said in excitement.
After understanding that, Leo continued trying the other Support Magic spells in the library until it finally became nighttime.
