Jim didn't want to risk having any more injuries and so he followed the old man's advice. He kept training, failing, and training again without any pause or success for a long time.
"Damn!" just as he was hit again with the explosion from failing to do the spell, "who is it so hard to do it?"
'Your mind is quite distracted,' the old man said, 'you need to clear up your mind.'
"I am!"
'Not clear enough it seems,' the old man couldn't help but laugh, 'or your passion and desire to learn this isn't strong enough.'
"Will you shut up then?" Jim was pissed off by his constant failures and the lack of support he got from the old man, "I need solutions."
'All you need is just in you, but you haven't figured it out yet.'
Jim totally ignored the old man and returned to train again. Yet soon after dozen more failures, the old man suddenly said:
