CHAPTER - 91
Kael: (Happy) From the book, I discovered that you can lower your mana so much that you become invisible and silent to anyone trying to sense it.
Dav: (Distressed) But in my case, the problem would still be hiding my aura along with my mana...
Eldrin: (Listening) I can help with that. Remember, I’m a master when it comes to aura, hehe.
Dav: (Excited) That’s amazing! Why didn’t you tell me before?!
People are always tense around me because I can’t fully suppress my aura...
Kael: (Curious) After lunch, let’s go to my room.
We’ll help you manage your aura and mana.
Eldrin: (Still eating) Yeah.
Dav: (Happy) Perfect!
(Thinking) So many good things today!
After Lunch
Kael: (Pointing at the door) This is my room.
Don’t mind the mess, haha...
[They enter.]
Eldrin: (Surprised) Mess? I don’t see anything out of place...
(Laughs) Step into my room, and you’ll understand what real chaos is! AHAHA!
Dav: (Observing) Exactly, I don’t see any mess.
Kael: (Sitting on the couch) We can practice for an hour, then I have to go to class.
Dav: (Confident) That’s more than enough.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
Kael: (Looking at Dav) Alright, release just 1% of your aura and mana.
[Dav releases 1%... enough to shatter Kael’s glasses and make Eldrin’s eyes widen.]
Kael: (Frozen) I said 1%... NOT more...
[Dav covers his mouth with his hands, looking like a Buddha statue.]
Dav: (Funny face) That should be my 1%...
[Kael puts on a new pair of glasses.]
Kael: (Sighing) Okay... now try the absolute minimum.
[Kael’s glasses shatter again.]
Kael: (Putting on another pair) ...I suppose this is the minimum...
Eldrin: (Laughing) Incredible, haha... You’re a monster, Dav!
Kael: Now close your eyes, relax, and try to locate your mana.
Follow its flow as if you were holding your breath.
Eldrin: Same with the aura, but focus it all into a single point—a finger, an eye, a nail—then make it vanish completely.
Kael: (Observing closely) It’s working, keep going...
~ 10 minutes later ~
Dav: (Thinking) One single point... Where? I’ll try a finger.
(Strangely, it feels deeper than expected...)
~ 20 minutes later ~
Dav: Why does it keep moving further away?!
It shouldn’t be this distant...
Moving all my mana into a small point and making it disappear is more complicated than I thought...
~ 30 minutes later ~
Dav: Damn it! Something’s blocking my way... It’s like an endless labyrinth!
(I’d better stop... for now...)
[He opens his eyes.]
Kael: (Shaking him) Dav, wake up!
Eldrin: (Hitting him repeatedly with a book) Wake up, damn it!
Dav: (Opening his eyes) What the hell is wrong with you?!
Kael: (Shouting) The entire academy was under your aura! You almost killed us!
[Eldrin keeps hitting him.]
Dav: (Yelling) STOP! I said I’m awake!
Eldrin: (Funny face, shouting) THEN WHY IS YOUR AURA STILL ACTIVE?!
Dav: (Turning) Ah... right.
[After calming his aura...]
Kael: (Worried) What happened when you closed your eyes?!
Dav: (Confused) You mean when I tried to focus everything into one point? It was like an endless labyrinth...
Kael: (Serious) Listen carefully. You tried to put both aura and mana into the same spot, creating something too big to handle.
I don’t know what that "labyrinth" means, but combining the two could be dangerous.
Eldrin: (Still shaken) You knocked us all out... We don’t even want to imagine what others are thinking.
Kael: (Sighing) For now, focus on one at a time. Either mana or aura—never both.
Dav: (Sweating) Got it...
Kael: (Panicking) You used less than 1%... and nearly wiped us out.
If you ever used your full aura...
[Silence.]
Dav: (Regretful) I’m sorry...
Kael: (Sighing) It’s fine... at least we’re alive. I have to get to class.
We’ll continue another time.
Dav: (Waving) Thanks again. See you later.
[He leaves the room.]
Dav: (Thinking) I’ll go ask Iris if she can make me some fresh green tea...
