Episode 3 Death and Resurrection (3)
First of all, Ray focused his mind to clearly know where the mana was coming in and where it was going out.
Then, the traces of the threads, which had only been felt vaguely, began to be seen a little more distinctly.
Mana came through the whole skin, but the amount that came in through breathing and heart was slightly higher.
The threads go out through different paths, but do not interfere with each other.
In a complex harmony, the passages felt every time the threads passed gave a refreshing feeling.
After a few hours of feeling, I finally felt that the place where mana came in and where it went out was the same.
However, in the meantime, the accumulated fatigue gradually drove him into a daze.
I was getting used to the sudden drowsiness that came even during normal times.
There was one thing he still didn’t realize.
He, who normally couldn’t last for 5 hours after waking up, was now awake for over 7 hours…
* * *
The next day, he was focused on feeling mana.
It was because I was bored just lying still, and the refreshing feeling of the threads passing through my body felt so good.
He thought as he felt the mana rolling inside his body.
‘Is this a bit like blood? Just like blood circulates through the body, mana also has channels, so it moves around, right? Then what if I change the aisle a bit?’
Ray immediately put this thought into action.
He roughly imaged the passage through which mana passes, similar to blood vessels.
And feeling the way Mana was going around, he memorized all of its locations.
Even in modern times, he was called a demonic brain.
If I could barely memorize this much, I would have already given that seat to someone else.
Also, I memorized it right away when I thought it was another blood line in the human body, probably because of a past occupational disease.
In other words, he knew where the first and last trains of mana were going.
Of course you know what to do next.
It’s because he usually comes in tired of his parents.
Ale and Sain were arguing over whether to raise themselves as swordsmen or wizards.
It is true that Sein usually has a strong voice, but it seems that even before he was born, it was decided to raise a boy as a prosecutor and a girl as a wizard.
But for some reason, my mother insists on being a wizard.
‘but! Muscular Ray is not cute!’
He seemed to hear his mother’s voice, but he forgot about it as he shook his head desperately.
‘Did I have a strong image from now on?’
I heard it in words, but unless I know how to think specifically, I can’t try it recklessly.
I needed some more information.
Ray sighed inwardly.
I can’t move with my body that hasn’t grown yet, and if I try to use some mana like a fantasy, there’s no information.
All he could do now was lie still and feel the mana.
The fortunate thing is that feeling mana itself is very pleasant.
‘ha. This is the taste.’
Sein tilted his head as he watched him widen his nose and inhale mana.
* * *
A year has passed since I spent drinking (?) mana.
Now it takes a lot of strength.
They are good at flipping over, and unlike normal children, they are struggling, but they are able to stand up and crawl.
His parents made a fuss about it.
“oh my god! They are crawling!”
“Ray must be a genius! I want to raise you to be a wizard!”
“no. They grow so fast, so of course I have to raise them to become swordsmen!”
“Your muscles are enough!”
“I’m a small muscle! Small muscles!”
Ray looked at him and thought.
‘If I’m going to do it, I’d rather be a wizard.’
As Sein said, he doesn’t like the voluptuous muscularity, and rather than a swordsman who trains while moving his body with difficulty, a wizard who sits still and casts spells is more suited to his aptitude.
He was rooting for his mother and thinking about his days as a wizard.
‘Ah… I’ll live a little more comfortably from now on, right?’
A guaranteed future, a heartwarming sight. Besides, it is a subject that can be practiced without difficulty. everything was perfect
“Then teach both.”
Sein smiled and said.
Ray doubted his ears for a moment.
do you do both?
Is this a fruitful plan to eat both pheasants and eggs?
However, he was soon relieved because he knew Ale would oppose it.
‘My father clearly said he would raise me to be a prosecutor. It’s definitely better to do one test than two.’
Ale’s answer, which he heard, definitely shattered his imagination.
“Yeah, then let’s do it. Because there is no law forcing a wizard not to train his body.”
“Instead, I can’t be muscular.”
“ha ha ha. okay.”
Ray glared at Ale, who smiled brightly.
My future was decided without even asking.
Received a guaranteed future from his parents, and Ray was insanely happy.
I never thought I would be able to do both.
Tears flow.
If this happens, he will become a swordsman who can use heals and magic.
In other words, it is jjamppong.
It just seemed invincible.
He thought it couldn’t go on like this.
I had to convey my thoughts somehow.
‘It’s still only babbling.’
“Oh wow. Father.”
Ray’s earnest babble stopped their conversation for a moment.
Seeing as if his feelings were conveyed, Sain looked at Ray and stroked his hair.
Soon after, when Sain looked at Ray and tried to say something, Ale embraced him and laughed heartily.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Do you like it too?”
Dori Dory Dori!
She shook her head desperately, but she didn’t notice because Ale was spinning around holding her.
Ray glared at Ale again.
But when he saw Ale’s blissful smile, he had no choice but to back down.
He let out a breathless sigh.
‘Yeah…. No matter how hard it is, how hard is it? Let’s do it.’
That’s because he had been a doctor to see such a smile in his previous life.
It has no choice but to be weak to pure smiles more than anything else.
* * *
I finally turned three years old.
Now he walks well and speaks his own way.
Since I already understood all of the language, I was able to speak quite fluently for my age.
He had been attached to the study ever since he could walk.
Ail and Sein were worried at first because they were different from other children, but they seemed to be relieved by their self-confidence.
The reason he was reading books in the study was simple.
To build a more perfect way for mana to pass!
Once built, the road through which mana passes is hard to change because it is engraved on the body semi-permanently.
Of course, it is not that there is no way.
There is a way to melt the mana rod once and then rebuild it again.
However, melting the mana rod is accompanied by great pain and there is a risk of death, so no one will try.
Ray also doesn’t want to do that, so he’s putting all his energy into building one.
He muttered as he flipped through the book he was reading.
“In the first place, mana is something that is drawn and used, so why do I have to lock it up in my body and use it?”
Magic refers to any act that changes the nature of mana.
For example, if you change the nature of mana floating in the air to hot, the air becomes hot.
If you apply this a little more and add dryness and small friction to the hot mana, it will catch fire.
Of course, a significant amount of mana would be consumed to set fire to the air.
However, the mana used here uses the mana stored in the body.
No, it is specified in the book to use.
No matter how many books I looked at, there was no description of how to use mana without confining it to the body.
I asked Ail and Sain, but they didn’t know everything.
“If I could use this magic once, I could make it more certain.”
Ray couldn’t use magic because his mana load hadn’t been built yet.
Therefore, there is no way to know how mana is consumed.
However, the mana road he thought existed.
Theoretically, it would be possible to manifest magic.
What he thought of was a way to make mana pass through the body freely, rather than confining it to the body.
In this way, the mana in the atmosphere will naturally remain inside the body as it passes through him, even if he does not have to lock it in his body.
All you have to do is drag and drop it freely.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with theory alone.
It is a method that no one has ever done, so the risk is just as great.
It was not described in any book, but it was the most efficient mana load in his opinion.
I’ve already thought of all the circuits for it.
For that reason, he had memorized all the mana paths from two years ago.
He thought for a moment, then shook his head.
“Alas, my life must go the way I thought it would! Go even if you can’t eat!”
Shouting out words that could have come from a country card game board, Ray lay down.
Then, he began to strongly think of the roads that Mana passed through, the way he had imagined them.
It
started to make the sound of very soft silk rubbing against each other.
The body accepted the change and began to widen each other’s paths little by little.
‘Little by little slowly…’
This work is not good because it is done quickly.
Slowly, you have to be patient until the road is as wide as possible.
And when I feel like I’ve expanded to the limit, I start building another road again.
That way, the effect could be maximized.
The work was easy because there was not much waste in the body.
I was nervous because it was usually accompanied by a little pain, but since there was no clogged blood duct, it widened like a highway without pain.
The new path brought mana a little cooler, and the mana it drew gradually expanded the mana load.
Of course, if you widen the road beyond the limit, the road will tear or your blood vessels will burst due to too much mana.
So I had to work very carefully.
What could be sadder than that if he died at the age of three with a single mistake.
Ray’s level of concentration was similar to that seen in the operating room in his previous life.
It wasn’t like he was operating on his own body.
‘Entrance as many as possible. There are several exits.’
Sweat trickled down his serious face.
