"Then what's next? We are not going to stop here, right?" I asked,
"Oh, acting tough, huh! Well, yes, next is physical power." Marylin said that it seed like she didn't like when I suddenly changed the topic, but she didn't delve deeper into that.
"What do you an by physical power?" I was a little confused when she ntioned testing my physical strength; what kind of test is Marylin expecting to go through?
"Nothing much,You just have to show how long you can strengthen your body with the help of raw mana," Marylin said as she pulled out a notepad from her spatial ring. It seems like she is going to analyse sothing.
"That's it?" I asked, "There are many others, like having a spar or lifting sothing heavy to show my physical power, so why only use still-place body strengthening without doing anything else?"
"Yep, that's all there is.Now, we start quickly; we don't have all day." Marylin was not going to explain anything,
Okay, I took a breath and closed my eyes so I could focus. Strengthening one's body is not that hard if you think about it, but it causes you to lose a huge sum of mana continuously. You just have to absorb the mana from your core and spread it all across your body, slowly letting it be absorbed in your muscles while strengthening your skeletal system and putting a layer of mana on your nerves to protect them.
The amount of ti you can maintain your body's strength solely depends on the size of your mana pool,
I activated the body strengthening, and I could feel a rush of mana through my whole body, like it was binding a shield all over .
My senses were heightened to their fullest, or, to say the truth, to the limit that my current body can handle.
...
"Haa, haa, I'm done." "I think this is the limit." I said, It takes a toll on your body when you strengthen it with Mana, but that's just a miniscule fatigue, not much to worry about.
"Um, ten seconds, even after the first two tests, that's quite good and pretty normal," Marylin said as she scribbled sothing on the notepad. She seems happy when she says that I am pretty average.
"What are you doing with that notepad there?" I asked because I was curious about it; she's been holding that notepad from the mont this test started.
"Oh, this is nothing. It just gives a real instructor vibe," Marylin said as she twirled the writing pen she was holding in between her fingers.
"Really?" I asked, and my voice ca out a little dry. I wasn't even a little convinced. There has to be so reason why she made go through this simple test.
"Just kidding." Marylin sticks out her tongue to emphasise her joke: "I wrote down the details of all tests, and they give a detailed insight into your strengths and weaknesses, so we can work on them," Marylin said.
"And what did you find?" I was curious, so I just asked. There are a lot of things that we don't understand, so sotis it's better to ask soone with experience, right, Smokeball?
'Nah, you're just too lazy to find the answers on your own, you snotty brat.' Blaze said that, in one sense, he was right.
"In the first test, I recorded your spell casting speed, and it was ridiculously fast for soone like you. Then, in the second test, I asured the power impact of your spells with the help of that gem, and you even excelled in that. And lastly, in this test, I observed the size of your mana pool, the amount of ti you can maintain the flow of mana through your body, and also analysed the maximum ti you can maintain body strengthening in your top condition." Marylin said,
"And all that puts you on par with a one-star mage in terms of mana arts," Marylin said as she shoved the notepad back into the spatial ring. It looks like there is no further use for it.
"You said that this is the last test, why?" I was disappointed because it still feels a little half-assed compared to what I expected.
"Yup, first we worked on theories, then we completely and correctly applied them here, and now we have to get so real-life experience." Marylin said that according to when we were at her house, she taught a lot about mana and stuff like spell casting; we applied those things in here outside the town, and now she wants to give so real-life experience.
"But what do you an by "real life experience"?" I asked,
"Back then you were quite interested in Balcker Forest, right?" Marylin's response was not direct, but her ssage was successfully transmitted to , and with this, the location of our next training ground was decided.
"Okay, ti to go back now." Marylin clasped her hand behind her back and turned around to leave in the direction of the gate. I quietly followed behind her.
.....
inside the town.
"Let's ride this beauty again," Marylin said. She pulled her "beauty," the magic broom stick, out of her spatial ring and invited to ride with her, but I have other plans for today, so I won't be going ho just now.
"I have sothing I have to do before heading ho; you can go ahead." I said,
"I would've loved to co, but I think Mary must be awake by now, so I have to go ho." Marylin said, I didn't even ask her to co. Well, whatever.
After that, Marylin left the place with her so-called "beauty," and I was left behind with my so-called "ugly" friend,
'How dare you call ugly? Have you ever taken a look at your face in a mirr- Leave it at that. There's no need to look.' Blaze was fuming with anger but couldn't retort for the first ti because he found his argunt baseless.
"I know, I am handso." I said to tease him further; it's fun when it's Uno reverse.
"Ha ha, funny, now tell where are we going," Blaze tried to change the subject by asking about our next stop, even though he knew where we were going next.
"We are going to the adventurers' guild," I said. "It's been on my mind for a few days, and today I think it's the right ti to get the job done."
