Chapter 4 - chapter 3 learning from scratch

A month later Charlotte and iris started mana training and on how to use it to overcome your opponent. Is this really going to help me figure out mana charlotte chopped me on the head "yes idiot" now put this weight on your leg once you reach the bottom focus and start contacting your mana into a certain point in your body" what how am I supposed to do that iris is not doing this "iris is already able to utilize fire and wind even supply her mana back by her surroundings" Charlotte teasers ok ok I get it I'm the problem I'll try. After a while doing what Charlotte asked I applied the weight to my ankle. Was I wrong or it just got bigger ignoring the hassle to confront it? I step in sinking to the bottom. My lungs felt as if it was going to burst my throat felt like knife's at first the pain was small but it became unbearable I don't wanna drown I digged in my head concentrating a flash back to how Reinhard did it in the novel use my full body I slammed to the bottom of the river a strange tingling in my body turned into a comfort a warm sensation in my abdomen. I open my eyes to see astonishing small blue particles circling into my body. I try to channel it into my hand, a silent hum engulfing my hand. I smashed the weight with my palm. I swam back up to see Charlotte and Iris smiling as if I almost didn't die right there. "Seems you did it" yeah! I formed my centre Excited, I showed her little droplets of water forming at my will "ye got a long way to go of course today's training is over for today. Both of you did well to get some rest" yes! We say in unison. I returned to my large room. If I recall correctly, Regulus can use healing magic right. I closed my eyes and focused as hard as I could until my hand started trembling and a green shimmering light enveloped my hand. I did it! Interesting what if I imbue it with the dark attitude I been practicing without Charlotte knowing I used healing in my left hand and dark in my right forcing them together dark greenish orb particles flowing around my hand like dancing waiting for my every command I use it on the flower near my large wooden desk the mana stored in the red rose came to me a dark circle hovering over the flower i did I'm a genius! "it seems so" yeah wait… turning around my body started shaking my face gone pale Charlotte I was just "so you were practicing by yourself" n-no I was just experimenting with how man-"no you won't I'm not that stupid" grabbing my hair dragging me outside I'm sorry stopping hitting me " are you okay regulus" iris running over applying mana on my bruised arm "duel with iris" b-but "no buts go take up your sword" in my thoughts I do need battle experience so this will come in handy "start" boom! She vanished in an instant since when was she so fast! What can I do "iris sure do got a few tricks up her sleeve" this is not gonna work applying the dark attitude into my eyes heightening my eyesight that a Norman person can't see with their bare eyes there she is! She appeared to my side slashing at my hip by an inch. I blocked her sword with a thin slash at her arm but iris vanished again. "oh" iris appeared in front of me about 10 feet. Let's try my new technique. I roar cursed heal! Just as I did that a large mana circles appeared engulfing both me and iris cursed heal is basically healing but reversed to my opponent it will drain their mana dry until nothing left and will boost the user's capabilities and power basically giving game like perks making them stronger iris's face dripped with sweat she rushed toward me bow! "Huh! See you can't hit the user either, a little mana barrier spreading around my body with a silent hum iris backs away but suddenly collapses "regulus! Stop the spell" sorry after taking iris close nearby "she will wake up after a goods nights rest" ok getting up to go back to the castle like mansion " wait regulus what was that incantation you just did" I sat back down after explaining to her I told Charlotte I could wield all four elements including the light and dark attributes" wow who knew the worthless son of the count had such talent" I'm right here you know "well were off" ok giving Charlotte a silent wave goodbye I slump back on the tree man this is tiresome but this new world is full of secrets and magic falling asleep in the large field I just hope I can amount to something in this life but just a silent whisper came out losing my consciousness into deep sleep.
