52 Abundant Mana (1/2)

The next day once I had gotten food, I went to show my master my achievement of making my mana core, also she could test what happened to my elemental body as something has definitely happened to it, I doubt I would go through so much pain if nothing happened. Also I finally feel like getting a proper explanation of mana as until I found out about the core, I didn't think that mana could exist in my body at all.

As I walked through the hall of elements I gained lots of glances and looks. This was due to people finding out that I used the darkness element as well as that I was the successor of my master. What I had gained made a lot of people very jealous, which is understandable I guess.

As I had guessed she would be, my master was inside of the room which she taught me in, it also had become her office as well. Seeing me she smiled, as I was about to speak her face changed into what only could be described as fury. Even the mana around us both started to react to her emotion, so violently.

”Adoh! Why the hell would you attempt to do that without telling me? It is dangerous! You could have crippled yourself! Why? Whyy!” Nearer the end her voice cracked as she started to cry, the mana calmed down though.

I let out a sigh of relief at this. Walking closer to her, I knelt down next to her, as I did she fell into my chest, her tears making my clothes damp. Unsure what I should do, I put my arms worldly around her and gave her a hug as well as patted her back, as she cried.

After she stopped crying and cleaned herself up. She looked back at me.

Her voice cracking as she spoke, ”So did you make a dual core then?” Nodding my head she then continued. ”Stay still, I need to make sure that you haven't damaged your body at all...both of them.”

She then moved the mana around me, probing my body with it, feeling satisfied that my physical body was fine. She then brought her hand to my forehead before tapping it gently with her finger. As she did, I felt someone looking at my elemental body. It was odd to put it lightly. After a few minutes I felt the presence withdraw.

She looked at me then smiled. ”You did it all right and I sense no damage at all. Not only that you refined your elemental body properly as well. I don't feel any impurities at all, which is very good for your progress in the future. As well as that your core seemed to be impressive.”

Glad that she seemed to be fully calm now. I stood off of the floor. ”So Master, could you tell me about the elemental body. I am confused about it. It doesn't make sense with what everyone has told me so far.”

She gave me a knowing smile, it was like she had been expecting me to answer that question.

”To put it simply, no one knows. But what we do know is that the elemental body which holds your core,is actually separate from your actual body, so they are not connected but it is like your physical body holds the elemental body. This means like you have done, mana passes through your body to the elemental one, but can't stay there as it will harm you.”

Honestly her explanation didn't make much sense at all. It seemed like she was telling me the opposite of what I had already been told, but what I did get was that my normal body is a vessel for an elemental body. This in itself makes no sense to me at all.
