章節 11: The Steps Of Magic Part Two
"Alright Alicia the next part is the hardest part about magic and this point will tell you if you are able to use magic at all. Some people spend their entire lives trying to pass this hurdle and are never able to surpass it." Berlin's eyes flashed a little. He wanted to know how smart the little girl was. "Alicia, can you tell me what you think the hardest part is?"
"Master Berlin if I am not wrong it would be to perceive the Magicules in the air?" Alicia replied questioningly. If it was anything like the novels she had read that had similar things then this would be the answer.
Berlin stared at the little girl shocked. She answered it correctly and to the point. There was no error in her wording. It was, in fact, perceiving the Magicules in the air! "Good! Very good! With that said do you know how to take these Magicules into your body?"
"No… Master Berlin, I only know you would need to perceive it but I have no idea how to bring them into your body." This was the part Alicia wanted to learn the most right now. How to take in the Magicules once you perceive them.
"This part is actually the simplest step. When you perceive the Magicules around you, you for a bit of a connection with them. You can, will, them in a way to enter your body through the Magi Point. There is normally only one of these on the human body. This point is located right between a person's brow." Berlin explained.
"Normally a person only has one of these points?" Alicia caught on to this point right away.
"Good question! By normally that means most of the human race only has one Magi Point. There are times when those have multiple points all over their body. Even I have four of these points. And I am a rare case. We call those with one Magi point a one star magician. Those with two are two stars and so on and so forth. The reason they are ranked in this order is that those with multiple Magi Points have more mana than everyone else. With more mana the more magic power, you will have. So, in the end, they are the strongest. That is amongst the human race. There are actually many other races that normally have two or more Magi Points." Berlin paused for a moment. "Alright, it is starting to get late. Do you have any questions up to this point?"
Alicia had many questions now that she heard there were more races in this world but she knew now was not the time to ask them since it was off topic. "Master Berlin, how does one know how many Magi Points they have?"
"You can only find out after you perceive the Magicules. Any more questions?" Alicia shook her head. "Okay then For the next four hours you will stay here and try to perceive the Magicules in the air. Unfortunately, there is no special way of doing this. Most sit in a comfortable position and close their eyes as they try to use their senses to detect the Magicules. I will leave you to it for now."
"I will try my hardest Master Berlin!" Alicia smiled as she repositioned herself in a crossed legged position.
Berlin nodded and was about to step away when he thought of something. "Alicia, remember, do not get discouraged. This part is the hardest part of magic. So if you are not able to do it right away just give it a bit of time it will come naturally."
Berlin hoped the little girl would not try a few times and then start to give up. Only with hard work could one succeed. "Do not worry Master Berlin, I will never give up!" Getting the answer he wanted he headed into the cottage to get some work done.
Alicia sat still on the grass and closed her eyes. She cleared her mind as she sat there feeling the gentle breeze as it blew against her skin. The smell of clean air filled her nose as she slowed her breathing. Time ticked by and an hour already passed but Alicia did not move from the spot she was in. She had finally entered a serene state where she seemed to have become a statue. If it was not for her chest moving up and down one would think that she was dead.
Slowly small lights started to appear in the darkness. After first it was just one then two then it jumped to a few hundred. Now there seemed to be thousands of these small lights floating around. Alicia wondered if these were Magicules so she decided to try to take them into her body.
With her sudden thought of wanting them to enter her body all the small little lights charged towards Alicia and started to enter her body from every direction and every part of her body. She started to get scared and felt like her body was heating up! She felt pain throughout her whole body! She was in so much pain she could not even talk, never mind scream out.
Berlin who was in his study suddenly felt a massive ripple in the Magicules in the air. He stood up abruptly and shouted: "Not good!"
His body flashed and he reappeared instantly next to Alicia. He saw her whole body was as bright red. He quickly placed his hand on Alicia's shoulder and shouted: "Alicia you need to control the flow of the Magicules! You need to slow them down and only let a little in at a time."
Berlin saw the knitted brow on Alicia's forehead and could tell she was in great pain. He closed his eyes and sensed the Magicules and was surprised to see that Alicia's body was covered in Magi Points from head to toe! There were so many that he could not even count them all. It was no wonder she was in so much pain. But this was also dangerous if she was not able to calm the flow of Magicules she could really end up losing her life!
Berlin repeated what he had said before over and over hoping that Alicia can somehow slow the flow down. There was no other way except to try to calm her down enough to slow the process herself since he was not able to do it for her.
Alicia who was in great pain clenched teeth as she did her best to take the pain. She knew she had to slow the process of Magicules or she would end you dying. She had already heard Berlin's words but it was not as simple as he was saying. She had tried many times to slow the process but she was unable to! Right now she was relying on sheer persistence and stubbornness to get through this ordeal. What she did notice was that something in her lower abdomen was added and was quickly expanding. She could only think of this something as the Magi Sack that Berlin told her about and that expanding feeling must be her mana!
