Mana Control!
9 hours later,
Stone just finished his Mana Circulation.
He opened his eyes slowly feeling the changes in his body and around him, He quickly noticed the System Notification.
{The Conditions have been met, [Mana Affinity] Successfully Gained, The Skill [Mana Control] has been learned.}
{The [???????'s Mantra] Has been successfully registered as a Unique Cultivation Technique.}
{The Cultivation Technique [???????'s Mantra] is currently on cooldown.}
{Time Left: [23:57:36].}
"Haha, that's something to be happy about! Now I know why I feel so energetic after such a long time of Mana Circulation."
"Then there's the Cooldown... No wonder I couldn't remember the Mantra after I woke up!"
"Anyways, Goddess, What time is it now?"
{It is 5:17 am, Host!}
"9 hours of Mana Circulation, huh? I see!" Stone placed his hands on his chin as if thinking about something, then he logged out, It was around the time his family woke up.
"I'll eat breakfast, visit the Guild to get my Adventurer ID, and after that... We'll see later."
With that Stone did as he thought, First he returned to his house, took a bath, changed his clothes, then he ate breakfast with his family, talked, and laughed a bit.
Although Spike his friend looked gloomy from time to time, he still could laugh.
Later he returned to the Inn and did the same, then he headed towards the Guild with Kretoss.
After that, He got his ID which was already prepared but he still needed to drop in a tiny amount of blood for it to fully function...
To recognize him as its master... Something like that, He didn't understand, But he still did as he was told.
it was in the shape of a Black Card, His info was written in White, Something like this.

[-----------------------------------]
Of course, it was written extremely small to fit in the card.
But what surprised him this time was that there were some other people from the other worlds, although it was hard to notice them, they wear the same clothes as the outside which is the only noticeable thing about them.
"I wonder why I didn't see any of them until now... Anyways, I will ask about it later, Time to get my first quest and try out [Mana Control]"
Stone then headed towards a large wooden board with many papers pinned on it, as well as a good number of Adventurers were surrounding it.
Stone moved towards the Grade 12 section and started reading the Quests.

"Hmm, I'll take the first 3!" Stone took the paper and made his way towards the reception.
There was Emilia there again.
"Hello, Stone! How can I help you?"
"I would like to take these 3 Quests!"
"Oh, okay then! Please note that you can only choose 1 Quest, But that's only for Quests with deadlines or non-repeatable quests."
"Alright, Thanks for the info!"
Emilia then registered Stone on some kind of black note, And he got 3 notifications.
"Oh right! Instructor Markus told me to tell you to visit him next week!"
"Huh? O- okay!"
'I'm not going!' Stone bowed slightly turned and left, he used his [World Map] and spotted a group of Swift Foxes, and teleported a bit close to them.
He needs to try his Mana Control to see if he can materialize it into an arrow first.
He sat down and started by feeling the Mana in his body which was more abundant than it was the previous day.
He tried to control it which he did pretty quickly, and then he proceeded into moving it towards his arm.
Although He could control it until his arm, It was only after a few trials and errors, After all, the last time it was thanks to the Mantra that the mana circulated throughout his body.
After he moved the mana into his body it was finally time for the real challenge, The procedure of taking the mana out of the body.
It was hard, Very hard!
To the point, he wasted 30 minutes just to have threads of mana coming out, But it was worth it.
{Your understanding of Mana control has greatly increased, Mastery +0.75%}
with this, his control over mana became smoother, and after only 15 minutes, he was able to shape the even bigger threads of mana into a mana ball.
'Hmm, Good, Time to shape it into an arrow!'
Stone used his understanding of shaping his White Flames into an arrow which helped him greatly.
5 minutes later, He finally made it.
{The Conditions have been met, The Skill [Mana Arrow] has been registered as a Sub-Skill under [Mana Control]!
'Great! Time to hunt some Foxes and Chickens!' Stone then dashed towards the group of Foxes that were close to him with a slight grin on his face.
--------End--------
This is it for today! I will try and make 3 chaps tomorrow.
I'll probably continue my other novel again which means this novel will only have 1 chap daily, That is if I continue writing at the same time as I do right now, Although it's a bad idea.
Thanks for reading!
