My parents got me a new mentor.
This time they were woman.
"How do you do, my lord.
My name is Arraknersel. Though you may simply address me as Arrak."
She looked very… odd.
She had a strange reddish scale color and bizarre jewelry.
But what really stood out to me…
was her aura.
She had an almost suffocating energy that surrounded her.
(No it was not an expensive perfume)
I circled my magna to my eyes as best I could.
I caught a glimpse of her magna…
It was circulating perfectly.
It flowed through her magna veins as if it were natural as blood.
Aside from the quality of her Magna flow, the fact that she was doing it while standing up is impressive.
My parents didn't mess around when they got an instructor for me.
"Hello, how are you doing-…er…"
She was in her training uniform.
At least it looked like a training uniform.
Obviously, I've never trained before so how would I know what one is like?
"Are we training… now?"
"Yes my lord"
"Oh"
"Is there a problem my lord?"
"It's just that…"
I was tired as hell.
likely from that fight with my father earlier…
If we can call it a fight.
Though there is no way I'm going to admit it.
I'd look weak. "Well I can notify the king and queen if you aren't feeling up for- "
"No! Don't!"
I couldn't let my parents know.
They would also think I'm weak.
And this is my last chance to prove I'm not.
"I can train…"
"Good. Then let's get started."
We stood in front of each other on either side of the white square painted on the ground"
"Are you familiar with magna and its system?"
"I think so."
"Then you should learn your first skill."
I waited patiently for her to continue
"The most basic magna skill is an energy blast."
She got into a sturdy stance with her hand reaching out in front of her and motioned for me to do the same.
"Picture the magna from the middle of your stomach moving through the magna veins up to your hand"
closed my eyes and focused on her instructions.
Slowly but surely, I moved my magna moving through my veins, and into my hand.
"Now imagine it materializing as a ball in your palm"
I felt a warm sensation in my hand.
When my eye slightly twitched when I was trying to open it, she instantly stopped me.
"No peeking"
She was fast.
"Now picture it completely departing from your palm at me."
It took me a while, but I felt it leave my hand.
I opened my eyes, hoping I could, and I heard no order to stop.
There was a ball of light slowly moving towards Arrak
she didn't move an inch.
Was she crazy?
She was going to get hit by some big ball of plasma!
She tanked it.
Not a scratch.
I'm really just that weak.
"That was very good for your first skill my lord."
She gently clapped in polite applause.
"That will be it for today's lesson, get some rest for tomorrow."
I fought against the urge to collapse and sleep in the middle of the training grounds and sleep.
"thanks miss arrak"
"No need for formalities my lord, just call me Arrak"
She gave me a gentle smile and walked to her carriage which took her away.
Wow.
I just shot a huge ball of magic plasma or whatever!
Out of my hand!
Okay, time for bed.
