“Then, let's start this magic test,”
*plex
Luminas who first experienced this, inevitably became nervous. His face looked a bit stiff, his two hands that were holding the ball slightly trembled and were drenched in sweat.
“No need to be nervous, You just have to focus with which flow I will show in your body,”
“....Fine,”
Despite not fully understanding the words of the old witch Yarez, Luminas nodded in agreement.
‘True, all I have to do is stay focused’
Luminas then closed his eyes. He closed his eyes in order to sharpen his senses and increase his focus to what the old witch Yarez was going to do.
“If you are ready, let's start,”
*SIYINGGG
After saying this, a bright light shot out from Yarez's palm that touched Luminas' back. The light seemed to seep into the body of Luminas.
‘!!!!’
‘What is this sensation?’
Luminas was surprised by the strange sensation on his back. He felt something creeping into his body.
‘It feels warm’
When Luminas was feeling a warm sensation entering his body, his mind was slightly distracted and his focus was a little blurred. But he realized that he should not linger long with the sensation and immediately returned to focus with what the old witch Yarez showed.
‘Quiet, I need to refocus. If not, I'll miss something,'
Luminas focused itself on the sensation that crept into his body. At first he only felt something warm enter his body, but over time he realized that something warm was forming something.
‘Hmm? What is this?’
The power that crept in continued to flow throughout his body, then gathered and formed something somewhere.
“Don't focus too much on that form of energy, but focus on the flow. Take energy from your heart, and do as this flow does,”
Hearing this, Luminas immediately understood. When the energy flows throughout the body of Luminas, he can feel it clearly. So Luminas can estimate how it flows and arrive at the destination of the energy flow.
‘Good, let's do,’
A picture suddenly flashed across Luminas' head. Although he never learned to flow magic, he immediately understood thanks to the concept he read from the book and also he felt directly how the magic energy flowed.
As the witch Yarez said, Luminas focused her focus on her heart. Luminas focused, he had to expel energy from his heart.
Based on the concept of the book Luminas read, the heart is the natural source of which is available on the human body. Just like where a monster has a mana heart and has mana crystals, humans also have a mana-filled heart even though it is less.
As Luminas remained focused, Luminas felt something warm emerge from his heart. Initially the warm feeling was still faint, but over time the warm feeling became hot. It was the effect of using mana for the first time.
Luminas felt his heart beating faster, he felt the heart as if it was contracting when he let out mana for the first time.
Although the heat was painful for him, Luminas remained focused. He recalled the concept of the flow taught by the witch Yarez.
When Luminas moved the mana out of his heart, the entire blood vessel that was passed by the mana flow became painful. As if his blood vessels were swollen, the energy continued to force its way through.
The pain felt by Luminas was overwhelming, to the point that it felt like everyone who experienced this would scream out loud. But the Luminas only let out a small groan. Due to his incredible mental strength, Luminas was still able to survive without losing focus to flow as directed.
The witch Yarez who saw this was of course amazed. One of the reasons why magic tests are performed when the person is mature enough is because of this pain. The pain caused by the opening of the magic circuit through the veins was extremely painful.
Many people who failed to endure the pain ended up suffering fatal injuries because they could not drain the energy properly so that the magic energy rampaged in his body.
When Yarez started, he never stopped thinking negatively about it. Moreover, Luminas was a royal family, if he was injured due to the magic tests directed by him, then Yarez would receive a very severe punishment.
But looking at Luminas who was enduring the pain and trying to stay focused Yarez couldn't stop his admiration. He was amazed by the incredible focus and dedication shown by Luminas.
‘I feel that in the future, this boy will be one of the strongest people in history representing Medeia.’.
As Yarez was busy admiring Luminas in his mind, he regained his senses when he saw a small light flashing at Luminas' fingertips.
“Good, when the magic has started to come out, then do as the flow just did. Put the energy in a crystal ball, and form something. When it has formed something, pull magic energy from nature into the crystal ball,”
Hearing the explanation, Luminas only gave a small nod. He still has to stay focused on what is in front of him. Because when there was the slightest mistake, this flow of mana would go berserk and inflict fatal injuries on him.
Without further ado, Luminas immediately applied it, as per the instructions given. A small light crept from Luminas' hand into the crystal ball. From inside the ball, a small light formed from the arrangement of light that began to flow into the ball.
‘Good!, Then, next step ..’
When the light begins to form solidly, Luminas goes straight to the next step. Luminas quickly gave a tug to the magic energy scattered all over the place.
*SWOSHHH
A miracle occurred, just after Luminas performed a magic energy withdrawal all around, a thin blue light entered periodically like water flowing into the crystal ball.
That is where.
Mana is a manifestation of the scattered natural energy in the world. The pure mana in the air is usually light blue. The more powerful the magic energy, the more concentrated the color it displays. In other words, when the color deepens, the magic displayed will also be stronger.
When mana begins to flow into the crystal ball, the crystal ball undergoes color changes many times.
First the crystal ball turned a clear blue like water, then slowly turned transparent green, and then turned brown.
Yarez explained that the color that appears on the crystal ball is a clue of what attributes we have as magicians.
People who learn magic usually have one innate attribute from the moment they are born. When they determined their attributes, they directly straightforwardly trained magic that matched their attributes so that they could become great magicians.
Even so, there are some people who have more than one attribute, and they are called the chosen people so that the kingdoms fight over the people who have these talents.
“Red color represents fire, wind green color, water blue color, and brown color means represent earth element. The princess is very great, usually even talented people only have 2 attributes, but the Princess has 3 attributes. It is an honor for me to witness the events of—“
*WUSSSSSSS
Before Yarez could finish his sentence, a strong wind blew. From the outside, the mana that was raging in the air forced its way into the crystal ball. The mana in the air that entered the crystal ball was getting more and more concentrated. So that the crystal ball held by Luminas becomes super hot.
“A-what happened?!”
Yarez panicked when he saw this happen. In his entire life as a magician, he had never witnessed the sight of dense magic energy raging in the air forcing its way into the crystal ball.
Although it looked amazing, but on the other hand it was very frightening. Because the crystal ball was held by Luminas, in other words where the concentrated rampaging in the air was caused by the mana that Luminas gave into the crystal ball.
A 3-year-old boy called out which one was very concentrated on his maiden magic test? Who ever thought that the seemingly impossible happened.
Yarez deftly formed a protective energy layer on the side of the ball to prevent its energy from exploding due to overcapacity. But the layer of energy alone was not enough to block the mana that was forcing its way in.
“T-mister princess, just stop streaming mana on the crystal! That's very dangerous!”
Yarez asked Luminas to stop streaming magic that draws natural mana around.
“T-can't, as if this crystal ball was sucking up my energy and naturally my body just gave it away!”
“What?! What does mean—“
*WUNGGG
Before Yarez could finish his sentence, it suddenly turned pitch-black in an instant. The crystal ball turned black, but the flow of mana still did not stop forcing into the crystal ball, but strangely this crystal ball did not vibrate even though it had reached its maximum capacity, it's as if everything was sucked up by a black hole.
Although it was coated by a thick layer of energy from a great mage from the palace, the ominous aura of the crystal ball that turned black did not diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, the more one felt the energy emitted by the sphere, the more uncomfortable the feeling felt by it.
*DARRRR
A black energy seeped out from the broken black crystal ball. The black energy spread throughout the room, even to the point that it almost covered the entire palace of the Queen Argaient's enormous and ever-expanding residence. The black energy not only seeped into the walls of the room, but also all its inhabitants. From the witch Yarez, the maids, as well as the guards his body was covered by an ominous black energy.
Although the energy felt unpleasant, but Luminas also felt something else. Like warmth and compassion. They were all felt from the black energy that enveloped his entire body.
But because everyone was focused on his dark appearance and his aura was unpleasant, they did not realize that there was another feeling of the pitch black energy.
Even if carefully considered, the black energy also has thousands of lights that flash along the energy flows. Like a space, it was a beautiful sight to behold if they realized it.
When Luminas was amazed by the warm feeling that enveloped him, as well as the beautiful scenery of space presented right before his eyes, an extraordinary event once again occurred.
Suddenly, the black energy that enveloped the entire person trembled. People who were enveloped by this energy inevitably felt fear, including the old witch Yarez. They were afraid that this entire black energy would explode and they were all swept up in it. But what happened next was —
*SSSHHHHH
The piercing cold started to rise. Starting from the crystal ball which was the source of black energy let out a cold chill. The temperature of the room rises, the air becomes dewy, and the breath of people gives off steam.
The coldness gradually rose and continued to get colder. To the extent that the wall that was enveloped in black aura started to freeze. The skin of those who were enveloped by the black energy also started to slowly freeze, they felt a piercing chill sticking to their skin. Then suddenly—
*DARR
An explosive sound was heard from the direction of the palace entrance. The explosion seemed to have been caused by someone trying to break into the palace through this scattered mass of black energy.
Plumes of dust and smoke rose at the time of the explosion. When the smoke and dust had begun to subside, a shadow of a person from behind the smoke was seen. A woman's voice rang out from the shadow behind the smoke.
“Ara? I thought that if I left for a while there wouldn't be any trouble, it turned out that there was even a big mess when I was away,”
The form of a shadow figure behind the smoke was revealed. A beautiful silver-haired woman in a fluttering blue white dress was seen from behind the smoke. She was the owner of this residence, the third wife of the king, also the eldest daughter of the most honorable family in the kingdom, Selena Argaient.
As the temperature of the room grew colder and the people inside began to freeze, Selena stretched out her snow-white hand.
“Mana Convert,”
Suddenly, the ice covered the entire room and people began to evaporate. The ice turns into a thin blue energy which is where it spreads into the air. The black energy that enveloped the entire palace also began to shrink.
“Hmmm, if this is the case, I feel that I have to clear up the source of the problem from this,”
Selena glanced at Luminas, her frozen daughter. Although her little princess froze, she did not look worried at all.
Selena jumped into the air and shot towards Luminas, she quickly grasped the crystal ball and all the fragments of the crystal ball were floating in the air. Selena seems intent on collecting the pieces of her shards scattered across the ground and reuniting them.
The pieces of the crystal ball that were in disarray began to rearrange like a puzzle. Selena used her magic energy to lift and also arranged the shards automatically without having to touch it.
When all the shards had been arranged and the shape was again like a ball, Selena then tightened her hand and the crystal ball shook slightly.
A protective layer is formed around the ball. Unlike the protective layer made by Yarez, the protective layer of Selena looks thicker and also solid. Selena makes the protective layer become multi-layered.
“Then, crumble,”
With a single sentence from Selena, a powerful magic energy flowed from Selena's hand grasping the crystal ball. Selena's powerful energy crept into the crystal ball. Because the energy Selena was flowing was too strong, the crystal ball finally shone brightly and then exploded.
*DUARRRRRR
The whole palace shook. The vibration generated by the explosion was extraordinary, but inside the palace where the explosion occurred there was not a single damage from the explosion.
Selena suppressed the explosion with a layer of energy surrounding the crystal ball. So that the explosion released the ball is able to be muted by the magic energy of Selena is stronger.
“With this, problem finished,”
Selena who solved the problem with incredible strength, showed an amazing appearance. The fluttering silver hair, as well as the blue white dress that did not tangle in the slightest despite the great explosion. It was as if all the things that almost killed everyone were trivial to him.
