Episode 12. mana (1)
For a long time, it was the Enlight unified empire that ruled the continent of Lymont.
But that is now a story from decades ago.
The unified empire collapsed by the sword master, and the continent was divided into 15 administrative districts.
A new governance and administrative system created by the sword master.
An administrative district had a territory equivalent to a kingdom and was a new system in which dozens of territories belonged.
The Crotan Administrative District, where the Irons Manor belongs, is located in the northern part of the continent and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
As a result, it is natural for the sea route to the south to develop.
Among them, Crom, which has been constantly receiving commercial and passenger ships from the past, was the largest port city in the Crotan administrative district.
To match its reputation, dozens of sailboats passed out of Krom Harbor every day.
The medium-sized passenger ship that Yuri and Yohan were on was one of them.

The passenger ship that came out of Crom Harbor was hit by a fair wind and inflated its sails.
Chow-.
The passenger ship moved quickly across the current, and the four-week voyage to the Niger administrative district began.
And inside a shabby two-person room.
John was looking down at the faint glass.
“Kik… … .”
Yuri, who fainted to the point where she couldn’t wake up easily, made a sound of pain.
John’s eyes looked at him with bewilderment.
“Hey, you’re a nasty bastard.”
It was pure admiration.
‘I really thought I could do it.’
The day I taught Yuri common sense about mana and magic.
He said he would introduce him to Mana if he reduced the four-day distance to Chrome Harbor to two days.
At that time, John also set a condition of two days, but in fact he considered it close to impossible.
Cutting the four-day distance in half was only possible when I ran day and night without a break.
It was close to impossible for Yuri, who hadn’t accumulated mana yet, despite the fact that he had gained strength recently.
But Yuri did the impossible.
only with mental strength.
‘Instead of throwing away the cheap things, the willpower is quite good.’
Yuri, who covered the distance of four days in two days, fainted fiercely on the spot as soon as she set foot at the entrance to Chrome Port.
A small smile appeared on John’s lips when he remembered this.
However, it was also an instant that the warm smile turned into a fishy one.
“Puhehehe, naive bastard.”

Maybe the little guy doesn’t know.
Even if he didn’t force himself to come to Chrome Harbor, he was going to finish his physical training and move on to the next step.
Perhaps the stunned Yuri would grind his teeth farther if he found out about this.
A warm smile appeared on John’s face as he imagined it.
“It’s fun to bully Danny because he reacts to everyone who touches him.”
At first, it was moderately stimulated and scratched to induce motivation.
But now, Yuri’s reaction to bristling her hair was fun, so she scratched it more.
Is it John’s only pleasure lately?
“Is this why old people raise disciples? Certainly, if it’s fun like this, I won’t be bored in my later years.”
… Johan casually recited a story that would have been crazy if Yuri had heard it.
He erased his smile and reached out his hand toward the glass.
Soon, Yohan’s hands began to rub Yuri’s whole body.
face, body, arms and legs.
There was no hesitation in Yohan’s hands as they patted Yuri’s body, and each hand was thoughtful.
Along with that, steam began to rise from Yuri’s body.
Chi-Ik-.
The smoke that rose with a thick, disgusting smell soon dispersed into the air and disappeared.
At the same time, John’s hand became more cautious.
Chijijik- Woodeuk-.
Soon after, bizarre sounds came from all over Yuri’s body.
The process of reconnecting the muscles that were torn from excessive exercise and gradually shaping the twisted bones and joints.
The process that would have taken a long time originally was quickly shortened by John’s mighty mana.
Also, it wasn’t just a matter of saving time.
Jjijik- Woodeuk-.
The newly created muscles and bones were positioned well for Yuri to learn horsemanship in the future.
This consumed an enormous amount of mana, and it was a dangerous procedure that could only be performed with a high level of understanding of the human body.
Even in famous families, it is an advanced procedure that is hidden tightly with each person’s own vision and spread only to those who will inherit the family.
Johan was doing the same thing casually, and every time Yuri fainted.
It was all thanks to Yohan’s efforts that Yuri felt that whenever she passed out, her body was not just recovering but getting healthier.
Jijik- Jik- Woodeuk-.
As time passed, the sound from Yuri’s body gradually diminished, and finally, when it completely disappeared, John took his hand away from Yuri.
“Whoa… … .”
Yohan, with a slightly tired face, sighed.
Even so, the previous procedure was quite mentally draining.
However, unlike the tired face, John’s eyes were shining brightly.
“… He is naturally boneless.”
A body endowed with innate strength, or muscle elasticity, good eyes, and so on.
There were many conditions to be called Mugol.
However, the condition Yuri was born with was a little more unusual than that.
‘It’s a mysterious body.’
At first, I was quite disappointed with Yuri’s ordinary body.
But as time passed, he felt a sense of incongruity.
And when he finally realized the identity of the sense of incongruity, he was stunned.
‘How can the human body be so symmetrical?!’
A person’s left face and right face are different.
It is also divided into left-handed and right-handed people.
So are the feet.
Of course, there are people who use both hands and feet, but there are always hands and feet that are often used unconsciously.
Depending on this, the degree of development is also divided.
But Yuri was different.
The frequency of his use of both hands and feet was similar, and the degree of development was also similar.
What was even funnier was that Yuri was doing all of this unconsciously without realizing it.
In addition, as John’s treatment was repeated, Yuri’s body became more and more symmetrical.
‘Symmetry means that the human body is balanced.’
This was a really great advantage in learning horse chess.
‘Even though his body isn’t perfectly symmetrical today, if he achieves it and can handle it perfectly in the future… … .’
If he could do that, it would be Yuri’s greatest weapon.
That was a good sign.
But not everything was optimistic.
‘It’s messier than I thought.’
The first day I met this guy, I vaguely noticed while examining Yuri’s body, who had fainted even then.
It means that Yuri’s body is in a more serious condition than expected.
However, now that I came to see it, it was several times more dangerous than I figured out at the time.
‘What the hell is this guy… How are you still alive?’
If his body was at this point, it wouldn’t be strange if he died prematurely on the street.
It’s amazing that he’s still alive and breathing.
‘I did manage to hold on to the dangling name line, but… … .’
However, Yuri was not out of danger.
It was literally just a temporary measure that he did a little bit of body work while he passed out.
If the fundamental problem of disharmony is not resolved, the balance that has just been sealed will collapse again.
‘The lack of body has been filled to some extent with the procedure so far, so now it’s time to fill the energy.’
Strength.
In other words, if you fill up the mana, you will be able to pass a big hurdle.
With that thought in mind, it was time for John to look down at the glass.
“… Why are you staring at me with such greasy eyes?”
Yuri, who had woken up before I knew it, had narrowed her eyes.
“When did I make you feel bad?”
“just now.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have that kind of taste.”
“What is your taste?”
“It’s what you imagined.”
“Didn’t I have any idea?”
“… If you didn’t do it, why are you sneaking away?”
“For such reasons as the inspiration imagines?”
Just as Yohan said, Yuri moved her hips and slowly moved away from Yohan.
Lying down and wriggling to the side was a skill if it was a skill.
“This son of a b*tch… … .”
When John’s eyebrows twitched, Yuri stopped playing and stood up to look around.
“Where are you?”
“You’re asking too soon.”
With a slight sigh, Yohan informed them that they were on a ferry heading to Niger.
Yuri, who nodded at this, quickly stood up from her seat and shouted.
“Oh right! promise!”
“huh?”
“They said they would let you know when it arrived in two days! Mana!”
“Tsk, I haven’t forgotten, sit down.”
“then?”
“I will tell you now.”
There was no reason to waste time on what I was going to tell you anyway.
“Ooh!”
Excited, Yuri ran straight ahead of John and knelt down.
“Quick, quick!”
Since meeting Yuri, it was the first time he had seen such bright eyes, so it was awkward for Yohan.
He cleared his throat lowly and hurried on.
“Hump! Mana is the source of all things and an energy that exists everywhere in the world.”
“Yep!”
“Also, only when energy is contained in the form of ordinary taijutsu can it be called chessjutsu. Therefore, the basics of machete can also be called mana.”
“Yep!”
“… Are you nodding your head listening to what I’m saying?”
“yep!”
Yuri nodded vigorously.
Seeing Yuri listening more intently than ever, Yohan became a little curious.
‘How much is this guy’s mana talent?’
The spirit of a soul that has summoned an incarnation of its own.
A boneless body with perfect symmetry.
The talents of soul and body were beyond John’s imagination.
What if the mana talent is excellent here?
No, even if your mana talent is above average… … .
‘This guy’s growth rate may be much faster than I thought.’
John swallowed a dry spit and opened his mouth.
“Then, I’ll start from now. Sit in a comfortable position.”
“here?”
“okay. Keep your back straight and exhale comfortably.”
“Do you close your eyes too?”
“If it is convenient to wind it up.”
As soon as the words were finished, Yuri closed her eyes and sat down.
color- color-.
Yuri’s small breathing continued, and Yohan’s calm voice spread over it.
“Initiation into mana begins with recognizing mana. From now on, I will release mana around you. So feel it. mana.”
Very few geniuses born with truly outstanding mana sensitivity can feel and awaken mana themselves.
Such people instinctively accumulate mana in their bodies from an early age.
Unfortunately, Yuri wasn’t like that.
There was no mana in Yuri’s body at this time.
If Yuri had Mana, John would have been the first to know.
For this reason, John intended to use a universal mana recognition method under the assumption that Yuri’s talent was normal.
That is none other than how the caster increases the density of mana around the caster.
It could be seen that the more mana felt at a lower density, the higher the mana talent of the fish electrons.
‘Come on, show me. How is your talent?’
John, whose eyes were shining, released mana around the glass.
The density of mana increased in an instant.
That moment.
Something unexpected happened to John as well.
‘… … ?!’
The mana spread by John… … .
Tsutsutsu -.
It was being sucked into the glass.
And that too at an incredible speed.
