บท 224: Rising Hunger

A few days after the Slughorn Scandal.

Eren could be seen practising his ranking technique late at night inside his dorm room. He had assumed a meditative position with his eyes closed, tongues of lightning dancing over his skin.

Eren could feel that the technique he had been using was making him feel that it had become slightly incompatible with him. It did make him progress in his ranking journey. But he was starting to have a hard time following the steps mentioned in the technique.

Sometimes the mana points that the technique wanted him to activate would remain dormant. And other times, the mana would circulate faster than he needed to through his mana circuits, forcing him to start the sequence all over again.

And despite the slight incompatibility, his ranking journey had gotten fast-paced instead of slowing down. Tonight was no different either.
