Chapter 384: Chapter 127 - Waking up and facing the new reality (part 3)

Although his mother was a magician, Zoemi himself was born without the mana reservoir – still, he had the affinity to mana - and that is why it was possible for him to experience an awakening.

It was already theorized that mana has its own will, and truth be told, Zoemi's case could be used as an argument supporting that claim.

The thing was, once mana that got unleashed during the first prince Horeo awakening came in contact with Zoemi and sensed the boy's affinity, it ended up CREATING a mana reservoir inside of him just so it could settle in.

It was a very painful experience that the black-haired boy clearly remembered as his insides getting forcefully spread apart to create a space for a brand new organ.

This wasn't completely accurate – but also it wasn't something that anyone else besides him went through, so he didn't really have anyone to compare his experience with.
