9 Chapter 08 (1/2)
After noticing the miracle of seeing a tree growing at a fearsome speed and also dying at fearsome speed, Leon concluded that magical things like that could happen. He had mana, so he was capable of creating such phenomena. If he could use magic, perhaps his trip to home would happen much sooner.
”The problem is… how can I use magic?”
If Leon could magic, then perhaps flying wasn't impossible, but he doubted that he could learn such a high-level technique by himself.
”Let's see.. even if I can't fly, if I manage to create a boat with ice or earth. It should work… I just have to put some holes in it to store the air, and the thing will float… but first, I have to learn the basics.”
Just like before, Leon started with the silly antics. He tried to conjure some Harry Potter spells, cast fireballs, and other spells by shouting their names, creating conditions for him to use supernatural powers… but nothing happened. Once again, Leon was about to die of embarrassment. But he still had one thing he had to try.
”KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Nothing happened; if anything, Leon felt more stupid than usual, and he also felt like a dream of his youth had been completely destroyed. Regardless, magic was his plan B now, and he had to keep trying how to use it.
Even without a target, Leon could use the Mana Transfusion. However, since he didn't have much mana, soon he would have to rest. Just like stamina, using mana has its downsides, the more he uses, the more his mind becomes foggy. He tried to control the mana that he transferred to the air, but nothing happened even though he could feel it. He also tried to concentrate his mana in a single part of his body, but once again, nothing happened. He could only use mana when he wished to transfer it.
”Now what? I can't give up, but I can't just walk around so blindly.”
Some weird phenomena brought mana and magical things to Earth, but the planet was originally a world without magic and mana, and that was why Leon couldn't see it. He started to think of a way to using mana while he was trying to carve wooden arrows out of tree branches.
”Mmm… I wonder if I can plant even normal trees. I should test that, maybe it will come in handy later.”
Leon planted a few leaves in a hole and made a mental note to check it the next day. After that, he returned to his task of trying to control where his mana was sent while transfusing it.

Since he was constantly spending energy to use that skill, it was leveling up quite fast. However, Leon still couldn't see the progress of that skill. He tried to transfer his mana to other things like the land or trees, but it didn't work.
