The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 7 is different

I started my morning routine with my uncle.

I started learning to ride. I thought that ability without relying on magic was the only thing I could learn.

But for some reason during the 2 weeks of training, I felt less suited to it. My uncle started to worry because I started to show a moody expression because I really did not fit in with the sword technique.

Uncle started thinking again, because it was only 2 weeks until he returned to the academy. Uncle can only take leave for 1 month and must return to fulfill his obligation to teach as a professor there.

" Well Rui, how about we move on to other exercises, how about shooting or spearmanship?" my uncle's proposal.

"Alright, I leave it to uncle "

I only agreed to my uncle's will.

We switched to using arrows and spears, but similarly, I couldn't get to the realm of beginners in that regard. Not only because it is not suitable but because human knowledge in weapons is very minimal because of their thirst for knowledge about magic.

My mother, who was looking at us from a distance, showed a worried expression because I was starting to get a little disappointed with myself.

Seeing this, my grandfather proposed to choose a dagger as my weapon. At first my uncle was a bit hesitant about the idea because daggers tend to be used by assassins, not honorable knights.

"Dad, isn't the dagger less suitable as a noble's weapon?" asked my uncle to doubt.

"Eliot, any weapon that, when used for the right thing, will surely gain its own honor. Even the hunters in the adventurer guild protecting the village from the monsters many used daggers as their weapons" my grandfather replied.

"In the past, generals and high demons used magic to destroy humanity and other demi-human races".

"So the weapons and magic are respected not for their shape and strength but for what weapons and magic they are used for" my grandfather replied.

My hesitant uncle, after hearing my grandfather's words, finally agreed to the idea.

I was given two daggers. My uncle only saw me training on my own because he didn't know any techniques or skills using a dagger.

But I started to like this, I was reminded of a game character I used to play who used a dagger as his weapon.

I began to concentrate and drain my mana in the dagger. I tried to slash and stab by imagining his strength would increase by combining my mana.

But when I tried to throw it by shrouding my man, his dagger would not even be thrown far away.

"Rui, what you're trying to do, isn't it reckless to throw your weapon carelessly against the enemy, if it doesn't hit the target then you'll be in danger" my uncle said doubtfully.

"But it's okay if it's on target right, so I'll still practice my throw" I replied

"It's up to you then"

But seeing that I was trying to throw a dagger at the practice doll but couldn't make it, my uncle started to get suspicious.

"Rui if the dagger is too heavy for you, why are your throws so close, instead of you being strong enough to swing it around as if it was light enough ".

"I also don't understand, I just tried to use my mana to strengthen my throw was the opposite, heheh" I replied with a silly smile.

"Heeeh?"

" Rui you... Where do you have?" asked my uncle, surprised.

"No Rui, not that. After I noticed what you just did, if you did use your mana to throw and instead made it difficult for you to throw, it means that you have different shapes and energies "

"What does uncle mean?" many confused.

"Yes I understand, which one you have is more viscous and elastic, where common magicians such as light light and light energy are fused and form the elements of fire, water and wind, but not with your mana."

" Then ?" ask again.

"Your mana is like something elastic and more viscous. In general, mana must be converted first into magic energy to be able to fuse with the weapon. Then strengthen the weapon in terms of durability and damage."

"But where raw you are, not only can flow weapons, but can slow down their movement. In that case if you can control your mana then you can freely control your weapon and it will definitely be very great" said my uncle who was more enthusiastic.

"So special dimna?" I ask who remains confused.

" Rui, try to get most of your mana out and imagine it's a rope that's joined to the dagger" he said.

"All right"

Then I concentrated fully and imagined a blob of mana in my hand an elastic cord.

"Good, keep it. Now try throwing it at the straw doll and remember you have to throw it while continuing to flow your mana" my uncle ordered.

After throwing it, I tried to cover my body with my mana. I was very surprised because I was attracted to the dagger that pierced through the straw doll.

I thought back to when I was told by Ronal to feel the mana around me, my body felt very light and like it was floating in the air, it seemed like he was unaware that my mana was enveloping my body.

Then I tried to throw it back and imagine my mana back to me and suddenly my dagger was in my hand.

My uncle who saw that was shocked and laughed.

"Hahahaha, finally Rui, I know your mana function. Your mana cannot break down into the basics of the element because of its dense elements. But where yours is, it can't disappear and spread because your mana will go back into your body" my uncle said happily.

"Then, I can be like a fany or a gumon, use mana like an elastic cord and move to where my dagger is" I said happily.

"Fany, gumon? I don't know who you're talking about but I'm really happy to know your talent" said my uncle, rubbing my head.

" Yes this is all thanks to uncle, uncle is great, thank you "my words were moved.

"Hehehehe, your uncle, praise me, be proud to be my nephew, hahahaha"

My mother and grandfather who were watching us from a distance were happy because I finally started smiling again.

After that time I became very enthusiastic to practice controlling my man and trying new things with my mana.

I threw away all the common knowledge about magic in this world and tried different things by relying on my knowledge of magic and skills different from my previous world.

From that moment on, I forgot the unimportant things and began to learn what I could do with my mana. I trained with all the skills I had without missing a day without training.
