"He cannot use his main sword art without using mana..."
Maria looked at Jaden with a flabbergasted look, her lips trembling as she searched for words, but his condition was simply too bizarre.
"What star is your sword art?" She questioned to understand the main issue.
"I know a 1-star sword art and a 2-star sword art," Jaden answered sombrely, the defeat still weighing heavily on him.
She rubbed her chin as she thought of what could be the problem, and after thinking about it for a few good seconds, she concluded, 'Did... did he unknowingly evolve a 1-star sword art into a 2-star art? That too without any knowledge of it?'
A 1-star martial art consisted simply of basic forms, stances, and steps. This was the same for the [Basic Sword Forms]. While a 2-star martial art would require elementals or mana.
Without realising it, Jaden had evolved the [Basic Sword Forms] into a 2-star art — simply by letting mana flow through his body and blade.
