The Elental Manifestations entrance lay coldly, marked by an intricately carved archway that seed to pulse with a faint glow.
It was like neon lights illuminating the surroundings, but in fact, they were all mana particles that had taken the attribute of the special elent.
It was a place reserved only for high-ranking students of the academy, a privilege earned through hard work and dedication.
Knowing theoretically about it, Jash stepped into the Elental Manifestations with pursed lips.
His gray eyes wearily glanced around. A mixture of wariness, anticipation, and unfamiliarity washed over him.
And after taking a good look around, only one thought pulsed through his mind:
'This is one of the gems of the academy. Not many students will ever get the chance to access this place.'
Unknowingly, he recalled that this place was sowhat of a second ho to Jyra and instantly put aside all his thoughts.
He felt it better to experience things himself than rely on soone's words or any other thoughts and quickly walked further in.
As his steps laced on the soft, mushy ground, he felt an uncanny sense of familiarity, as if the myriad elental mana particles were calling out to him.
It was a sense of yearning he couldn't ever misplace, knowing what it was to yearn for soone from the deepest pits of hell...
Not wanting to delve into those mories, he could only shake his head and sigh.
This place was like entering a Mage's ho since they would love to spend ti here, improving their mana and practicing magic.
'Beautiful,' Jash wondered, taking in the ethereal atmosphere of the area around him.
The walls seed to pulse with a soft, ever-changing light, and the air felt charged with energy.
It truly intrigued him, and he didn't care about maintaining a stern expression or his usual calm exterior.
In the end, for whom did he ever put on that facade? It surely wasn't for himself.
'Worlds apart from its description,' Jash thought, wanting to curse the author for his lackluster words and descriptive skills.
He had only read so words about the Elental Manifestations as Helios had already awakened the light elent.
So, most of the ti, the process of training was skipped with a few words or the scene changed to so other Heroine trying to help Helios in so way.
That's why he hadn't paid much attention to it, but now that he was here, his senses picked up the clear and pure mana all around him.
"Exactly," he muttered, recalling so of the words the author used to talk about this place.
This place is special because of the mana particles filling the air—these are no ordinary mana particles—they're infused with the essence of different elents: fire, water, earth, wind, and more.
"It's like being surrounded by a symphony of mana," Jash couldn't help but let out a low murmur in slight amazent as he felt the different elents interacting with each other.
It was as if they resonated deeply with his own mana circulation technique and could even inspire him to improve not only his level but also the technique itself.
The Elental Manifestations or the chamber that was called so wasn't just because it helped one awaken their elents.
It served another purpose: helping students refine their advanced mana control skills.
The dense and diverse mana here challenged the students to adapt and enhance their control.
That was another reason Jash arrived here on his day-off as it was killing two birds with one stone.
Though, it changed to three after he familiarized himself a little with the new environnt.
When one practiced techniques in an environnt with higher mana density, it was similar to trying to walk against a strong current.
It forced the person to adjust and refine their control, making their mana manipulation even more precise.
Yet what Jash felt after coming here was the subtle sense of familiarity and fully unleashed his mana circulation technique, allowing it to interact freely with the new environnt.
Also, considering the latter parts of the novel, he knew mana was bound to get denser and denser on the planet.
'In most books, it was for Demon King's ascension or sothing along the likes, but here...'
Jash had a mocking smile on his face as he mused on the lack of information about the reason for increased mana concentration.
The way the author glossed over it, it was sothing like all the mana from different worlds would flow through there just like the ti of Mana's first appearance or the other Races' first appearance; thus, resulting in a higher mana density.
"But that's all in the future," Jash sighed in schadenfreude, unsure if he would even survive until then.
However, his smile full of self-mockery soon gave way to a frown.
"Why is this place called Elental Manifestations when all I feel in this place is it being filled with a dense amount of mana?"
"Isn't this simply a Mana Chamber?" he asked no one in particular before busying himself to scour his mind for an answer.
Since his question made sense, he grew ever-so curious in trying to find the reason for it.
After all, not all types of mana were elental.
There were unique types that could be called elents, but weren't elents in their truest sense—light, darkness, void, space, ti, telekinesis, ntal...and many others.
Not only that, even executing a weapon technique or spell required mana, but it didn't really have to be elental mana at all!
As if finally realizing what he was missing, Jash had an enlightened expression and rembered the reason he was here.
"Shit! This place is really creepy!"
He even forgot that he ca here to awaken elents and if dense mana was all it had, then how would that even be possible?
Wouldn't it be utterly stupid to be here if just dense mana could help in awakening one's elent?!
That was an environnt any rich family could afford, why would the Academy boast about the Elental Manifestations then?
'This place isn't just about general mana density; it's called the Elental Manifestations for a reason...' Jash mused with a taciturn face.
It was really difficult for him to believe that he got deceived and let himself get carried away; he chose to stop for a while.
Looking around with all his concentration, there were specific rooms, seemingly dedicated to the different elents.
And as if to supplent his knowledge, his brain also stopped scouring, pouring in all kinds of information about the Elental Manifestations, which made him lightheaded.
Each room was infused with a much higher concentration of specific elental mana, making it suitable to awaken to that elent, but also rendering the person susceptible to that elent.
In simpler words, what Jash experienced previously, the feeling of being deceived and misled, but on a grander scale and feeling as if one would beco the elent themselves.
Of course, what Jash conveniently ignored was the fact that he had set up the highest difficulty for himself to awaken at least one elent by the end of the day.
"If possible, I wish to awaken them all at once," he murmured with a self-deprecating smile.
That was surely delusional on his part, but he didn't seem to care about it in the least.
After all, the rooms were sure to have an even higher density of mana, specifically of certain elents, unlike the place Jash was currently in.
There was no way he wouldn't be affected by it...
