1st follower II

Amanda hesitated, then nodded. "Will you teach me?" she asked, her voice quieter now, tinged with both hope and desperation.

Michael didn't answer immediately. Instead, he removed the remnants of the lightning spell he had cast earlier. Amanda recognized it immediately—it wasn't just any spell. It was a unique, original creation of Michael's. She had faced many lightning mages before, but none had ever wielded magic like his.

"I'll teach you," Michael said at last, his voice firm. "But only if you agree to become my follower."

Amanda's pride fought against her growing respect for the young boy. But deep down, she knew that aligning herself with Michael would open doors she could never access on her own. Finally, she took a deep breath and lowered herself slightly.

"I will be your follower. Please teach me," she said, her tone earnest.

Michael's expression didn't change, but a spark of satisfaction glimmered in his eyes. "Good," he said. Then, stepping closer, he added, "Say it: I will be your eternal slave."

Amanda's eyes widened in surprise at his words, but something in Michael's commanding gaze left her unable to resist. Tension filled the air as she hesitated, but then her resolve faltered.

"I... I will be your eternal slave," she said softly, her voice trembling.

The moment the words left her mouth, a faint glow surrounded her. Michael's Soul Submission spell activated, binding Amanda's loyalty to him. She gasped, feeling a strange yet overwhelming force settle into her very being.

Michael closed his eyes briefly, using his insight spell to evaluate her condition. "Hmm, a Blue Core. Not bad," he murmured, noting her growth potential. "She has great talent," he added quietly to himself.

Amanda stood still, her body trembling slightly as she processed what had just happened. And then all hesitation vanished as she gazed at Michael " master" she said her words without any hesitation.

Michael's gazed at her as he nodded, ' Soul submission is fully in effect' he thought as he looked at her. "It's time to elevate you," he said. A unawaken mage like her is no use to him, only after she awakens as a True Mage can she be of use to him.

The Twilight Legacy, the ancient grimoire he possessed, contained numerous methods to safely to awaken mana core. Ordinary methods often came with significant risks, but Michael's grimoire offered a way to push Amanda's static Blue Core into active one without any risk.

"Let's begin," Michael said, his voice filled with authority as he prepared to unlock her true potential.

He placed his hand gently on Amanda's shoulder, focusing intently as he began extracting the impurities from her body. His magic swirled around her, working not only to remove excess energy but also to maintain the minimum necessary amount for successful awakening. He had to be careful. Overdoing it would harm her, but leaving too much unpurged could result in failure.

As he worked, Michael's senses sharpened. He could feel the resistance in her energy, the clogged and stagnant mana within her veins. He pushed his magic deeper, methodically clearing each barrier, refining the flow of her mana system.

With each passing moment, he felt the buildup of energy, the warmth from her core as he guided her mana through its natural channels. He concentrated, making sure to balance the intake of her essence and his energy carefully. Amanda's mana could not accept too much foreign magic—he had to avoid contaminating her with too much of his own power. If even a small amount of foreign mana mingled with hers incorrectly, it could be disastrous.

Michael took a deep breath and switched his mana flow to the untainted worldly mana—mana that was neutral, safe, and abundant in the natural world. This method would protect her core, preventing any harmful energy from seeping in and ensuring her stability throughout the process.

The faint glow around her intensified as Michael's mana settled into her core, creating a calm, steady rhythm.

As the worldly mana reached her core, Amanda's core shifted, and the process began. Michael stepped back slightly, observing her carefully as the energy started to build. The environment seemed to hum with a subtle, growing power. He also have giver her a mana breathing technique called Sun stream, it was perfect for her who has talent in fire magic.

"Focus and breathe," Michael murmured as the mana flowed in, guiding it gently into her system. Amanda's body trembled slightly, a sign that she was beginning to adjust to the overwhelming influx of energy.

Amanda nodded as she gritter her teeth, the process is painful as the mana forcefully move in your whole body , forcing any extra impurity from even within the bones resulting in great pain, but as she heard Michael she continued to breathe in and out , focusing despite the pain.

Michael just looked at her, as it all depended on her now. After an hour, her entire body was covered in impurities. Even her hair had fallen out and regrown. It was now a mixture of crimson red and aqua blue.

"So her talent doesn't only lie in Fire only but in Water magic too," he mused. "The combination of her red and blue hair means she has immense talent in both areas, just as her fiery red and cool blue hair suggests."

"I guess I should give her a better breathing art," he mumbled as the awakening process continued. After three more hours, it was done, and she gasped, panting.

Michael raised his hand as he used a Tier I cleansing spell to remove all remaining impurities, revealing Amanda in her new form. She was now a very beautiful lady with great curves, her body and power rising to a new level. Her hair now vibrant, and her skin now glowed with an almost perfect radiance, a sign of her enhanced physical form. He nodded, satisfied with the results.

The process of awakening also enhances ones body as it continued to make it more and more perfect vessel with each advancements.
