Fundamental Hint

Lynn sigh quietly as he looked over to teacher Saz. Excitement can be seen on his eye's, dimmed in anticipation.

He'll never let a word escaped on his ear, he's surely will become a mage to this day! And that's what his sured for.

Teacher Saz spoke, "But first, we need to see your body state. We can't be sure that your body is ready to create you mana core" He grabbed the hand size crystal beside his pocket and putted down the grimoire in his grasp.

"This crystal is called "Stone Mana", it'll read how much mana you have in your body. It's the lowest grade on it's kind, but it'll enough to be use in this lesson as you all are just still in mana body state." Teacher Saz said, slowly moving the crystal in his hand, showing it to the kids.

"Now, who want to be first?" He said, looked at them one by one.

"Me!!" Drand and his friend raised their hand, wanting to be first, excitedly.

Teacher Saz picked the kid in Drand left to go first. The kid move forward, instructed to touch the crystal.

Pulsed, it faintly glowed in white. Inside of it, the white light steadily increased it's brightness, but stopped before it continued to consume all the area inside.

"What is it, how much mana i'd have in me, teacher Saz." The kids ask, suppressing his voice, not wanted to show his excitement.

Teacher Saz looked at him. He spoke. "Your great, but still not enough to form your own mana core. Wait for few month's, surely you can form your core." He grabbed his shoulder, sincerely looking at his eye.

Dissapointed, the kid walked back to his seat. His friend tried to eased him, cheering him up.

Next, the other kid moved forward, nervous seeing his friend failed. He gripped it hard as he focus all of his thoughts in the crystal, hoping it might do something to pass the requirements to create his core.

Same, the crystal glowed and it's increased. The only difference right now, it's fully covered the whole crystal, the fully colored blue crystal is now white because of it's brightness.

"Good, congratulation. You'll now be officially a chanter." Teacher Saz applaused, welcoming the kid to the world of magic.

With his remarks, the kid hops in joy, yanking Drand shoulder as he shouted nonstop, which Drand used his both hand to pushed his face out of his.

"My turn!" He moved his friend to the side. With step he take, his full of confidence that he'll do great, better than his friend.

"You can now begin, young master Drand." Teacher Saz said, as he presented the crystal in his front, telling him to beginned.

Drand confidence didn't wavered as he put his fingers to the crystal, touching it gently.

It pulsed rapidly, tripled as it normally thus to the two kids. Teacher Saz eye's shown an amusement look, waiting for his result.

The brightness this time is four-times than normal, but something different, it's was supposed to be white colored, but for some reasoned unexplained thing happened, it's color green this time!

It's expanded, consuming all the area in the crystal, indicating that his officially chanter this time.

"Fantastic, young master Drand. This is the third time that i'd witness a birth of 'Enchanter pressence'." He applaused, praising to be one.

"Enchanter pressence?... What's that?..." Drand ask clueless.

Even the two kid in the back became confused. Lynn are clueless too, not showed on his face as he waited for the answered.

"Enchanter pressence..." Teacher Saz step back, and he opened a flippable blackboard, writing a word by word as it was sequenced top to bottom.

"Okay, before we proceed to create your mana core, i'll explained to you what 'Enchanter pressence' was."

"What you see over to, young master Drand, is a phenomenon that only gifted people receive. Oh, a convenient event it was. Okay, listen up closely, this one is trivial thing you need to know."

"When your done creating your own mana core. You'll entered a level, here, called 'Apprentice' which was the first level of people will go through in the world of magic."

"After you've created your mana core, you'll enter a spatial world which we call 'Spirit World' where you can get your first magic."

"And this is when the 'Enchanter pressence was. In each level of this, you shall get one element."

"Example, when a person enter the apprentice level, he/she needed to choose an element that he wanted to wield. There's no regrets if you'd choosen one, because apprentice level are only allowed to wield one magic. Which means if you wanted to wield another magic, you'll needed to level up to 'Enchanter'."

"Which was Drand situation was. Enchanter level can wield two element, what he've picked when he was an apprentice and the present which enchanter."

"And that's the meaning of 'Enchanter pressense', Drand can pick two element even though his apprentice only." Teacher Saz explained patiently.

Applaused sounded as they congratulate Drand on his talent. Drand first dumfpounded and became proud for himself.

"Teacher Saz, then we can wield three magic when we entered the mage level?" One of the children ask.

"No, when you entered the mage level, thing's are not the same anymore. Because mage level can wield any magic as long he know's how to chant it.

"For example for me, i'd just chant earth magic. But when i was an apprentice i'd pick the fire and water on the enchanter level."

"If your just paying attention just a moment ago, my wielding on earth magic are weak."

"That's why, young master Drand, is worthy to be envy about. Because if he'll pick two element right now and one to the enchanter level, he'll master that elements. So he can focus himself to the other elements when he entered mage level." Teacher Saz said it with a smile.

The kids attentively listened to him as they inched it to their mind.

"And not all of that, there's more privilege of being enchanter pressense, but we'll not gonna go on that topic." He said.

"Now that we're finish on this topic. We should tackle about creating your mana core, and that's for the two of you." Teacher Saz said, putted down the crystal on the table and take his seat.

Drand seems thinking about something as he stand there. He spoke. "Teacher Saz, how about Lynn. What about we see his body state if he can create his own core too?" He suggested.

Teacher Saz looked at him. He spoke. "I'd forget about that, Lynn, do you wanted to try?"

Please, for the love of god! Can you all just forget about me!... Lynn grumbled inside, but thought that this is a good chance to know if he can be a magician in this world.

In this span of four-years, Lynn, innerself is a bit problematic distress thinking that he will not have power.

Thank's for his past knowledge, he controled it until today. Because thing's like this will not helped him in his condition, it's only bring dangered to himself if his mind think not rationaly.

"Okay." Lynn walked near teacher Saz, he looked over to the crystal, firming his resolved even there's no need too, he touched it.

The crystal pulsed as it frenquency repeated itself two-times than normal. The brightness increased engulfing it's whole entire space.

Bizzare, something happened to the crystal that different to the first three attempt.

After it occupied the entire crystal by white light, a fluctuation of harmless thin black electric current irregularly flicked to the crystal.

Teacher Saz face became flabbergasted look's on it, as his eye's dimmed on astonished. He waited for a great thing's to happened as he take two-step forward.

The electric current irregularly still flicker as it multiplied the arc of it, continuing it odd behavior.

Suddenly, it shattered cracking from one end to another. Stopping it's electric irregularity as it fell apart on teacher Saz hand.

"What happened?..." Drand ask in the side, while Lynn and teacher Saz didn't spoke.

"Pretty interesting kid, pretty interesting..." Teacher Saz mumbled, looked over to the child below him.

He looked over to, Drand, that wanted answered to his question. "It's means that mana rejected him." He said unemotional.

The two child sneer while Drand have vex worried face on him. Lynn, the center of the attention just stand there as his eyes didn't wavered of light.

All of the people in here when in comes to mana, he is the most eminent. He know deep inside, that mana is just there waiting to be awakened.

"Look's like our time is almost up. How about we continued tommorow, young master Drand, so we can discussed it clearly with more time." Teacher Saz suggested.

"Okay..." Drand agreed, he invited teacher Saz for dinner but rejected it telling that he have matters to attend.

With that rejection, he invited next his two friend which agreed without hesitant. He invited Lynn too but teacher Saz requested that he needed Lynn to cleaned the mess here.

Drand assumpted that, teacher Saz, will cheered the down, Lynn, so he agreed. He leaved with his friend and personal made, only the two people left behind inside the canopy garden.

"Are you okay, Lynn?" Teacher Saz ask, while he create wind to lifted the shattered crystal on the ground.

"I am..." Lynn said slowly, not forgetting to act of feeling down.

"Good, because there's no reason to feel down. Your a very bright child, Lynn. "He said, taking his seat.

"I know that you can feel it, right. The mana around you but you can't just tell what is it." He said, hinting.

Don't need to tell me, it's already been four-years... Lynn sigh, not knowing if he'll looked at him like an idiot or a kind hearted man.

"Really!?... The thing i felt inside, it, it wanted to awakened but, but, i can't..." Pure talent of acting, he showed outside. Like a child that find his answer long enough.

"Don't worry, i'll help you for the trivial matter. Your smart enough to do it, seeing that you already figure what's in your surrounding." Teacher Saz said, he stand up again and writed a new word in the blackboard.

"Now, we have no time to be wasted. So we can't be put in dire situation." He said.

Look's like your smart, well done, i'll appreciate your deeds... Lynn thought, teacher Saz deliberately telled Drand that his been rejected by the mana.

A child mind can be influenced by their surrounding easily. Drand might worried about Lynn, and felt him as his friend, but if know that Lynn can form his core in a young age of five.

Surely envious he will felt, and many thing's of idea will entered his mind, dangering Lynn and his mother in this mansion as they only a servant on here.

"Now, for creating your mana core, you need to follow each-step that i'll tell you."

"First, when you entered the astral state, remembered this. Let go, accept, Control, remember it very well. Let go, Accept, Control."

"Please remeber it very well, very, very well. Let go, Accept, Control. I'm anticipating you do good, little Lynn." Teacher Saz said, as he walk by pass to him.
