Chapter 36

In the long run, I choose the trait, and the window disappears.

Congratulations! You may have acquired Mana Circuit (passive)

Traits 1/3

I instantly really feel my heartbeat rushing up, and heat washes over my physique. My coronary heart goes into overdrive and sends wave after wave of mana by my physique. At first, it is solely heat, however rapidly it feels as if somebody set a red-hot wire by my physique. I clench my enamel, however a quiet groan escapes my lips.

Neglect something good I mentioned in regards to the system.

The ache turns into stronger and stronger because the system etches a community of mana channels by my physique. Mana travels from my coronary heart in the direction of the information of my fingers, up my cranium, in every single place leaving a burning sensation in its wake.

After what appears like an hour, the ache slowly subsides and is changed by a sense of lightheadedness, as if I am about to move out.

Rattling, I am unable to wait to undergo this two extra occasions!

Somebody, please, ship assist.

Haa, no matter.

Nonetheless lightheaded I ship mana by my physique and cease immediately.

Ehm?

I attempt once more.

And once more.

What the heck?!

I take again all the things I mentioned. Give me extra! Extra ache, extra circuits!

It feels as if up till now, I stored utilizing a fork to eat soup, however then somebody bonked the again of my head and put a spoon in my hand.

It feels a lot extra pure to take mana from my Mana Coronary heart and use it.

Additionally, the community of mana etched into me feels as if somebody changed an previous street with a high-speed freeway.

What the heck!

I nearly wish to forgive the system for taking part in favorites, however at this level, I am certain that the traits others will get will likely be higher than mine.

However that will not be capable to calm down my happiness.

I transfer mana throughout my physique; it is so fluid, so fast, and the quantity I can transfer is way finer and extra correct. Now as a substitute of utilizing a river of mana, I can ship a skinny thread of mana by my circuit for extra delicate management.

It is as if I used an excessive amount of mana earlier than due to my horrible physique and low mana conductivity.

However dang, it simply reveals how unprepared and inefficient the human physique is for dealing with mana.

[Mana Manipulation – Lvl 5 > Mana Manipulation – Lvl 6]

Right here we go!

I get on my toes, and as I stroll, my physique nonetheless screams, however now I’m extra content material with the ache.

“Lastly!” Kevin sounds tremendous annoying. Much more so now, when my head remains to be hurting.

However I will let it go, simply this time! As a result of I am in a very good temper.

The blade of mana oscillates wildly, and I stick with it for so long as I can earlier than it slips out of my management and dissolves.

New report!

Only a bit extra, and I would be capable to coat all the blade of my quick sword with it.

Then Tess pokes my shoulder, and I lookup. Everyone seems to be looking at me.

Did I miss one thing?

“Haaa…” Hadwin sighs.

Why do you sound so irritated? I simply practiced slightly bit! You do not have to be such a jerk about it!

Biscuit, defend me!

I look down, and the doggo is already leaping round a butterfly.

“…”

He catches it and eats it. Then he spits it out. He then seems to be at me whereas protruding his tongue, attempting to do away with the style.

Biscuit…

God bless your poor soul.

Tess and I enter the forest first. Though I’m strolling first, Tess is the one pointing the place we must always go, as her talent one way or the other permits her to see by the dense forest. Why not name it X-ray imaginative and prescient? Why Farsight? Huh? System?

There isn’t a reply, and we proceed scouting forward of the others whereas Tess seamlessly factors me in the appropriate course.

You understand, we got here up with a code.

I’ve my [Mana Perception] activated, and after I really feel her accumulating the mana in her proper hand, I am going proper; the identical goes for left. If she collects mana in her chest, which means there’s a monster. If she collects it in each of her legs, there’s a sturdy monster, and we’ve to run. Stuff like that.

To be sincere, our cooperation has turn out to be fairly good these days, and we will quietly undergo the forest whereas leaving marks for the others.

Typically we kill one or two monsters, however that is it; the forest is quiet.

The wind blows gently, transferring the leaves and creating shifting shadows on the bottom. Daylight streams by the branches, making the forest look energetic and vibrant. The solar feels heat on my pores and skin, the breeze is cool and refreshing, and the forest has a nice odor.

“Such a fairly day…” her voice is delicate and quiet, and I decelerate to finish up strolling subsequent to her, loosening some rigidity from my physique.

If she does not see any monster, there is no manner I’ll, even with my [Mana Perception] lively.

“Sure.”

I lookup on the sky, and the wind messes with my hair a bit. As I stroll by the woods, I discover how the bushes appear to create a pure rhythm with the swaying of their branches. The forest is quiet, devoid of the everyday sounds of animals and birds, including to the sense of solitude. The contemporary air fills my lungs as I take a deep breath, and I am unable to assist however really feel a way of calm and stillness.

Out of nowhere, Tess laughs quietly whereas overlaying her mouth with a hand.

“I am sorry, however I simply remembered the look you made when Hadwin hit you.”

Woah, such a low blow.

“Do not have a look at me like that,” she whispers and smiles at me. It is the primary actual smile I’ve seen on her face since we entered the First ground. “You form of deserved that.”

Possibly sure, however please be a bit much less glad about me getting punched.

We proceed strolling in silence.
