Mana Training

Ethan looked at his grandfather who took out a normal wooden sword although Ethan never asked how strong his grandparents are he knew that they are pretty strong because they knew most of the things you need to know about evaluation and mana.

After taking out the wooden sword Ren asked Ethan to take a sword Ethan also picked up a wooden sword from the training racks and stood opposite to his grandfather.

Currently, both Ren and Ethan left the lawn and come to their training ground it's quite big around half the size of the football stadium and it's built under their home although Ethan doesn't know much about magic and the world since he never gone passed the outer zone of the dark forest he was still sensible enough to know that this training ground was built using space magic.

Ethan thought like this because their home size was quite normal just a small lovely lawn and a two-story building that have 3 rooms with bathrooms a kitchen and a living room on the ground floor and the same for the second Floor. But the underground training room was the size of a half football stadium when Ethan first time looked at this ,he was just six years old and when asked about it his grandfather said he will know in the future.

Standing opposite to each other Ren and Ethan both swing their swords and started their training they clashed for some time and then separated from each other then Ren said '' Look closely I will coat my sword with mana to increase its sharpness and speed, to coat your weapons with your mana you have to control mana in your body make a link between your mana and weapon and try to pour your mana into it''.

After saying that Ren pour his mana into the sword Ethan who was looking closely widened his eyes because just as Ren poured mana into the sword he can see a light blue layer covering the wooden sword making it's more sharp, hard, and faster when Ren swings his sword and Ethan clashed with him like the previous time this time his sword was cut in half, Ren sword was like a hot knife that passed through the butter.

Now Ethan understands why his grandfather wanted him to learn this technique before going to the dark forest with this technique he can kill stronger magic beasts and become stronger faster and get good skills.

'' Take another sword and try to feel mana in your body try to link your mana with your sword and pour mana in it '' Ethan came out from his dazed state after hearing Ren's voice he quickly picked up a new sword closed his eyes and tried to feel mana in his body because his affinity with mana was already pretty high he can feel mana rather easily than he tried to link his mana with his sword and just as he thought of pouring his mana into the sword a light blue layer appeared on the sword but it didn't last long because the sword was broken in just one second and Ethan dropped on to the ground exhaust he feels like he just runs a marathon and his mind was dizzy.

He can't understand just what happened.

'' Check your remaining mana points'' Ethan heard Ren's voice and looked at his status window to check his remaining mana reserve.

Mana:- 40/96

Ethan was shocked to see more than half of his mana was gone just like that he didn't even use it for two seconds he was confused about what just happened and looked at his grandfather who was smiling like he already anticipated this so he looked at him and waited for an answer because he knew that his grandfather will tell him what happened.

Ren waited for his grandson to recover from his dizziness before speaking '' you see only feeling mana inside your body and pouring it into a sword is not enough you have to control your mana perfectly how much mana you are pouring into your weapon or you will run out of mana in mere seconds if you don't control your mana perfectly you will run out of mana and worst case even your weapon will be destroyed because of excess mana '' Ren said looking at the destroyed sword.

Ethan who was hearing quietly now understand he didn't control the quantity of mana and just poured it, because of that he run out of mana, and his wooden sword was destroyed.

Then he asked the most important question that he didn't understand '' I can feel the mana in my body and I can also pour it into my weapon but how can I control the quantity of the mana I want to use to coat my weapon? ''

Hearing his grandson's question Ren looked at him and said '' think that mana is an additional organ of your body just like how you use your hands and feet you can control your mana in your body ,when you swing your hand you can control how much strength you want to use just like that when you want to coat your weapon with mana you just have to thought how much mana you want to use to coat it ''.

Ethan listen to his grandfather's advice and took another sword he first feels the mana inside his body then created a link between his mana and sword and control his mana to go towards his sword, the sword was soon coated in the blue layer of mana but he still can't control his mana perfectly and run out of mana soon, he drink a mana recovery potion and stared training again after training for six hours he was finally able to control his mana and was able to coat his weapon perfectly if other were to know that he learn controlling his mana in just six hours they will be shocked because it took average person at least 15 days to learn it perfectly but Ethan whose affinity with mana was very high just learned it within six hours.

Although ren expected it he was still shocked by his grandson's speed he thought that it will take him, around one day to learn this and another day for practice but he learned it in just six hours. He smiled and thought that there will be an uproar when Ethan will go to the academy.

After learning how to coat weapons with mana Ethan was quite tired but he was happy that he learned this technique before going to the forest.

Although there are more ways to use mana coating Ren is not going to tell Ethan everything he has to learn this by himself only then he can become a true powerhouse.

After coming from his training ground Ethan took a long bath before eating dinner, after dinner, he went to sleep because he was quite tired tomorrow he will leave for the dark forest to start his journey.
