Chapter 3: Mana Training

Ethan looked at his grandfather who was standing at the middle of the training room while holding 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 evolution and mana.

After taking out the wooden sword Ren told 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, the training ground is 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 pass the outer zone of the dark forest he is still sensible enough to know that this training ground is built using space magic.

Ethan thought like this because their home size is 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 is the size of a half football stadium when Ethan first time saw the training room he was just six years old and when he asked Ren how is this training ground so big Ren said to him he will understand everything in future now Ethan turned 15 years old but he still doesn't know how can this training ground this big.

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 and create a link between your mana and weapon and try to imbued your mana into it''.

After saying this Ren pour his mana into the wooden 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 of mana appeard on the wooden sword making it's more sharp, hard, and faster when Ren swings his sword and Ethan clashed with him like previous time his sword was cut in half, Ren sword passed through his sword like a hot knife passed through the butter.

Seeing this Ethan finally understood why his grandfather wanted him to learn this technique before going to the dark forest with this technique he can kill a more stronger magic beast and get a strong active skill.

'' Take another sword and try to feel mana in your body then 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 and closed his eyes and tried to feel mana in his body because his affinity with mana was already pretty high he was able to 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 and the sword was broken in just one second after Ethan infused his mana in the sword, Ethan dropped on to the ground exhaust and he felt like he just ran 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 this 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 his grandfather will tell him what happened.

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

A thoughtful look appeard on Ethan's face after hearing this he finally understood what he did wrong.

Ethan did not control the quantity of mana and just infused it blindly because of this he ran out from mana and started to feel dizzy after thinking all this he looked at Ren and asked most imprtant question.

'' I can feel the mana in my body and I can also infuse 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 with a smile and said '' think of mana as an additional organ of your body just like how you control your hands and feet you can control your mana in your body. When you punch 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 ''.

Ethan listen to his grandfather's advice and took another sword he first felt the mana inside his body then created a link between his mana and sword after creating link he controlled his mana to go towards his sword, a light blue layer of mana appeard on the sword but just like before the sword was destroyed and Ethan ran out of mana but he didn't give up and drank a mana recovery potion after drinking the potion Ethan waited some time and once again tried to coat his sword with mana.

Ethan tried to coat his sword with mana again and again and after six hours he was finally able to perfectly control the quantity of mana .

If other were to know that he learned 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 learned it in just six hours.

Although Ren expected this ,he was still shocked by his grandson's speed of learning how to control mana. Before training he thought that it will take Ethan around one day to learn how to feel mana and another day for practice but Ethan learned everything in just six hours. Ren smiled and 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 still happy that he learned this technique before going to the forest.

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

After coming out from training ground Ethan took a long bath before eating dinner, after dinner, he went to sleep because he was quite tired after his mana training today .

Tomorrow he will leave for the dark forest to start his journey.
