Magic, mana, and the host.

"Tell me young miss... What magic user needs to use their magic?"

There's only one word that came out of my mouth.

"Mana…"

"Precisely. Mana was the source of energy in Wolaf. And you should know that not everyone born with magic but almost everyone got mana"

"Isn't the physical user also using mana to be strong?"

Sir Volco smirk.

"And what happens to the magic user if the mana were run out and it happened that the physical host is countless?"

It felt like I'd been smacked at the back of my head when I heard what he said.

"Magic user would lose not because he is weak but because of numbers?"

He slightly bowed, give me sarcastic smile and walk away from Mr. Jusco stall.

He was saying that Beastland was full of people with strong physical hosts, and in this big continent only a small number of magic users were left.

It reminds me when mother explains about magic. She told me that my mana pool was not big but extraordinarily large.

And beside that my soul was strong as steel that can be bent but cannot be broken. But mother felt not sure about my physical condition.

The magic power strength depends on the size of the mana that is inside the host. More mana means more magic you can do but having too much mana inside a body is like a fusing bomb.

The soul is like a controller towards your mana. The stronger the soul resides inside the body the stronger the magic becomes.

But if the soul residing in the body is weak, it will harm the body. Either the hoards mana would become a bomb and the body would explode or the mana would consume the body until it wilt and slowly die.

A body with a strong soul known as a 'high level spiritual host'.

That's why the host was important.

The hosts were actually the container for this magic and mana.

If you are born with a really strong physical body, you may survive with the turbulent mana inside your body even if there's no magic in you. Since the strong body would consume the mana as energy and becomes your second skin. You also can survive even if you have a weak soul.

This strong body is known as 'High level physical host'.

That's why, even though I was strong with magic, mana and soul, mother still needs to be cautious about my physical.

For safety measures, currently I am under training on making my mana as my second skin.

Father also let me practice swordsman with Lorcan and Ronan to help me build my physical.

I was in deep thought when Lorcan came to me.

"I was hungry"

I patted his head and told him to wait at the table.

"It's a little past noon, there's only a few hours left for us to be here."

Lana reminds me of the most important thing. We still haven't yet finished our tour in this merchant market.

"Lana, take out my outdoor kitchen"

Lana nodded and started looking through the magic pouch.

"we will help too"

Lorcan and Ronan jumped from their seats and moved closer to me.

We moved a bit to the back of the big tree to hide from around us eyes that sometimes gave us weird stares.

I said it was an outdoor table kitchen, but actually it was a portable outdoor grill where I see in one of my scattered memories.

I drew a picture of it and my passionate father asked his dwarf friends to make it. It only takes a few days for the dwarf to make the portable grill.

Since I draw the portable grill with fine detail and description for each crucial part, it helps the dwarf easily finish and refine the final product.
