Logan and Mr. Joe soon left the creepy building that was the center for body enchantnts.
Walking back out of the forest, Logan noticed the slight signals he was receiving from all around him.
Turning about, he couldn’t find what was sending him signals.
At least until he realized. ’We are in the forest where shadows are cast most of the ti. Could that be why?’ He pondered as he rembered the beast he had killed.
The black panther seed to have great perception and agility but that wasn’t all.
If he rembered correctly then not only did it burst into darkness when I’m danger but it also used shadows to teleport.
Drifting further into the mory, Logan recollected the battle and the shadows that pulsed.
’It wasn’t a beast of the darkness elent, it was one of the light elent.’ Logan realized his initial error.
Most people think that darkness and shadows were the sa thing while that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Darkness was the vectorial opposite of light. They existed on the sa plane but at opposite ends. They were two sides of the sa coin.
While shadows were a phenonon caused by the obstruction of light.
Thinking back, Logan cursed himself. He had been a bit impatient and killed the first beast he ca across thinking it was of the type he had been searching for.
But in retrospect, the thing had attacked him first so he wasn’t exactly to bla.
After walking for about ten minutes, they left the forest and went to the training hall.
Entering one of the rooms, Logan stood opposite Mr. Joe.
"World cores work just like their mana counterpart. Just release so of the world’s energy to your legs." Mr. Joe told Logan what he needed to do.
Closing his eyes, Logan extracted multicolored energy from the vortex in his legs.
Upon contact with the muscles, the energy vanished into them.
Wisps made of shadows left Logan’s feet as his perception increased.
"Interesting." Mr. Joe comnted with his forehead crinkled.
Stopping the extraction, the shadows vanished and the vortex started absorbing energy once more.
’It refills itself just like a mana core?!’ Logan’s eyes widened in shock.
"It seems like your enchantnt is slightly different- no, vastly different from others." Mr. Joe spoke as he approached Logan.
Looking and examining the latter’s legs, he made slight comntaries.
"Did sothing happen to my legs when I activated the enchantnt?" Logan furrowed his eyebrows with worry in his voice.
He couldn’t let anything go wrong with his body enchantnt. It was his only chance at revenge.
Peeling his eyes away from the legs, Mr. Joe shook his head.
"No, nothing happened and that’s precisely what happened." He spoke confusing Logan.
Letting out a sigh, Mr. Joe raised his hand and it turned into a tentacle.
Looking Logan in the eye he decided to explain.
"When you activate the enchantnt, your body sends the world energy across your body." He paused to ensure his only student was following.
"Now, your mana core rejects it and pushes it back to its source- the enchanted limb. This causes a surplus in world energy that causes the bestial mutations." He explained the reason behind his reaction.
’So this is because I don’t have a mana core?’ Logan’s mind raced, ’So no mana core ans no mutations?’ He reasoned.
’Let examine the pros and cons of this. The pros first. I can pass off my enchantnt as a spell and people expecting to cast would be caught off guard.’ Logan smiled ntally.
’But there are also the cons. If my mana core prevents dispersion of the energy and I don’t have one, that ans that I will lose my ability to fight far too quickly.’ He gritted his teeth.
’Not to ntion that if I’m asked to cast a spell using normal casting I can’t. It’ll make easy prey to soone who knows the kind of beast my enchantnt ca from.’ He concluded in his mind.
"I can see it’s affecting you but don’t worry, it really doesn’t an anything. It can even help you avoid the stigma given to people of our discipline." Mr. Joe smiled.
"Not to ntion the anonymity." He let out a brief chuckle.
"Now back to the testing. I hope it’s good otherwise we are undoing it." Mr. Joe waved at Logan to continue his display of power.
Extracting energy from the world cores in his legs, shadows flared out like wild tentacles from his legs.
An instinctive use and application of the power he had just gotten filled his mind.
Following them, he leaned forward and vanished with a massive pulse spreading within all shadows present.
The shadows to Mr. Joe’s left rippled and Logan appeared with a fist to his face.
Leaning backwards slightly, Mr. Joe easily avoided the attack then kicked Logan’s shins.
The latter groaned and rubbed them.
"A spatial movent ability. Rare and useful. Impressive." Mr. Joe remarked.
"Is that all that the beast you killed what capable of? Anything you saw it do, you can do even if to a weaker extent." Mr. Joe smiled lightly.
A long-lost excitent filled Logan bringing renewed vigor with it.
Taking a deep breath, shadows poured out of his body forming a small do.
The do collapsed sending shadows everywhere.
As the shadows that were released settled, Mr. Joe could see Logan with spheres made of shadows.
The ping pong-sized balls shot off with a bang.
With each passing mont, Logan managed to utilize the shadows in a new way.
Logan stopped playing about and decided to try sothing.
Closing his eyes, he took a step and turned into a mass of shadows that sward in the air.
The mass suddenly turned back into Logan, and he appeared very pale and weak.
"I wouldn’t advise you to use that excessively. Whatever you just did there clearly drained you so only use it as a last resort." Mr. Joe instructed before patting his shoulder.
"You are proficient enough, just practice so more when you get back from the break." He smiled before leaving the room.
"Now, it’s ti to et Orion." Logan sighed as he walked out with weak steps.
