"While she is also a hero, she doesn't have to co to school… what a difficult family to interact with," Emily scratched her right cheek. "I feel like sothing will happen with them in the middle soon, and we will be the last to hear. The story of my life."
"As long as Ian survives in order not to deny my revenge, it doesn't matter," Ethan shrugged. "Also, we have been doing a lot of work on the shadows, and stealth isn't our strength, so we should avoid future problems for a while."
Emily sat quietly, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon as Ethan's words echoed in her mind. She pondered his perspective, contemplating the notion that perhaps it was best to avoid getting entangled in troubleso matters. She had her own goals, her own aspirations, and she knew that achieving them would require unwavering focus and determination.
A sense of determination welled up within her, propelling her forward on her chosen path. Emily had always been driven, always pushing herself to reach new heights. She knew that success didn't co easily and that distractions could be detrintal to her progress.
Around two weeks after they returned from the mission, Ethan finally could tell that Emily was about to master the first phase of the technique. He could see that she had total control over the layer of mana around her body, and she could almost use it without using more mana than she could recover during ditation.
"She is almost there. Shouldn't we use mana potions on her to speed things up?" Kei asked.
"That sudden flow of mana will disrupt her focus; that can't be done to help her," Ethan explained. "Maybe in the future, once she can master the technique completely, but not now."
Ethan closed his eyes, reflecting on the mories of their intense training. He focused on the monts where they had made progress, dissecting them in his mind. He replayed the scenes repeatedly. He imrsed himself in the mories, studying the patterns and strategies that erged. He absorbed the lessons and strategies with each repetition, committing them to mory.
His concentration deepened as he rged with his past self, reliving the battles and absorbing their essence. Ti seed to stand still as he trained internally, seeking clarity and insights.
After doing it for a couple of hours, Ethan managed to reach the sa level as Emily and eventually surpassed it. It seed that all that magic training actually helped him.
Congratulations! You learned the skill Mana Force.
Mana Force: by enveloping yourself with mana, you can create a shield that can block physical and magic attacks for as long as you have mana. The skill can also increase your mana pool by one point every one thousand seconds.
A collective silence enveloped the room as everyone's eyes fell upon Ethan. The astonishnt was palpable, etched on their faces. They stood in awe, their expressions mirroring their disbelief.
It seed impossible, unimaginable even, that Ethan had not only caught up but surpassed their expectations. His progress, once lagging, had skyrocketed beyond all predictions. The sheer determination in his eyes and the unwavering focus in his stance spoke volus about his growth.
Hana, Kei, and Emily exchanged glances, their surprise in each other's expressions. The magnitude of Ethan's achievent left them montarily speechless, struggling to comprehend the imnse leap he had taken.
"What the hell was that? Did you steal my progress with your power?" Emily asked, visibly shocked.I think you should take a look at
"I didn't touch you; I can't control what I steal," Ethan replied. "Besides, you can still do it, right?"
"Yeah, but how?" Emily asked.
"I am curious, too," Kei asked while studying Ethan. "It feels like you didn't try, but then all of a sudden, you decided to try for real."
"You were ditating with a bit more focus than before. Is that the reason?" Hana asked.
"Just a trick of mine that I learned on my adventures while punishing evil and rewarding good," Ethan shrugged.
"I could swear that you say the inverse," Emily furrowed her eyebrows.
"I was planning to say that, but I changed my mind," Ethan said. "Anyway, while I lost the mories and knowledge regarding a bunch of things from before, I am quite good at controlling my mories, so I used that to help."
In the aftermath of his incredible feat, Ethan found himself surrounded by curious gazes, eager to understand the secrets behind his mory manipulation technique. Realizing the importance of sharing his knowledge, he took a deep breath and began to explain with ticulous detail.
He spoke of the intricate process of dissecting and rearranging mories, emphasizing the need for focus and precision. He described how he carefully selected specific segnts, isolating the ones relevant to his training and discarding the rest. His words painted a vivid picture of his ntal prowess and the ticulousness required to execute such a technique.
Ethan delved into the underlying principles, describing how mories were not fixed entities but malleable fragnts that could be reshaped and repurposed. He elucidated the role of concentration and ntal clarity in effectively manipulating one's own mories.
"Can soone do that without using magic?" Emily asked. "Even as magic, that would be a high-ranked spell. How can you obtain the sa effects without mana?"
"It is just a trick of mine, and it isn't like I can use it on others," Ethan shrugged.
As Emily observed Ethan's explanation of his mory manipulation technique, her mind buzzed with curiosity and skepticism. She couldn't help but delve into the intricacies of his ability, especially as she pondered the discrepancies she had noticed.
In her thoughts, she questioned how Ethan could manipulate his mories without expending mana. It seed contradictory to the fundantal principles of magic they had learned. Mana was the life force that powered their abilities, and every action, every spell, required its consumption. So how could Ethan reshape his mories, a complex ntal process, without utilizing mana?
