When Clare first met Whis, he held her hand and looked into the bottom, but she had no magical talent.

Claré decided to study in the morning and practice magic in the afternoon, and taught Whis in the morning. This had a big impact on Elliot's personality development.

"Today, we will practice transforming and releasing mana. Until now, we have circulated and stored mana in our bodies, but by transforming and releasing atoms, it can be used for various purposes. However, if you do not master the basics, there is a possibility of self-destruction. I can use magic to activate the natural healing power with mana and recover, so it will be fine, but please do not try it alone until you have mastered the basics."

Clare, Elliot, and Whis stand on a plain on the outskirts of the village. Whis accompanied them, saying that he was just observing, under the promise of not telling anyone.

Claré held up his index finger vertically and showed them the applied magic of fire and wind that he had shown them before. "I showed you this before, it's also a type of emission type. If you don't release it at your fingertips, but concentrate on your fingers, it will do a lot of damage to your fingers. You understand, right?"

Elliot nodded, while Whis looked on in surprise.

Curare extinguished the flames on his fingertips for a moment.

"Then, if you pour more mana into this and release it..."

Curare swung his right hand forward as if he was throwing a stone at the grassless plain, and with a thunderous roar, a fireball the size of an adult man's head was released. The fireball hit the ground, and sparks accompanied by an explosion scattered violently, bursting into flames. However, since there was no flammable material, the flames quickly dissipated. The ground where the fireball was thrown was melted, leaving a slight red color.

"It looks like this."

While Clare seemed fine, Elliot and Whis were speechless, their eyes glued to the molten earth.

"That time, I didn't just use my index finger, I used my whole arm to release the mana, so that's why it was so powerful. If you use both hands, the power doubles. Some high-class wizards can release it with their whole body. I'm still a long way from that."

Elliot regained his senses and raised his right hand, just like Clare.

Clare saw this and jumped on Elliot, quickly restraining his right hand.

"It's too early! I've said this many times before, but the basics are important. The basics."

"Ah, yes. Sorry."

Clare let out a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.

"You now understand the theory behind stirring the atmosphere with mana, right?"

"Yes."

"Now, we'll practice releasing that mana into the atmosphere. First, let's circulate the mana like we always do."

Clare pointed the index fingers of both hands at Elliot.

Elliot placed both of his index fingers on hers.

Whis looked at them curiously. As Clare let the mana flow, Elliot let it naturally circulate through his body and returned it to her.

"That's easy now. Now I'm going to slowly release my fingers, but please keep them in this position."

"What?"

Elliot let out a surprised cry at the sudden request, but Clare moved from the surface to the dot, and finally released his fingers.

Elliot instinctively tried to follow Clare's grip, not wanting to let go of her fingers, but Clare let go little by little without hesitation. Elliot instinctively put more strength into them.

"Don't get stiff, just let it flow naturally."

Elliot closed his eyes and tried to let the mana flow naturally. He absorbed mana from his left hand and released it with his right. He concentrated on the basics. Eventually, the mana coming from his left hand felt less, and the mana releasing from his right hand felt greater. When he opened his eyes, Clare hadn't even pointed with both fingers, but was looking at Elliot with a smile, arms crossed. The flow of mana stopped at his smile.

"Yeah, your muscles are really good. You did it in one go. You were able to release the mana in your body. Now let's try releasing mana intermittently. Repeat releasing and stopping. It's a little difficult, but I'm sure you can do it quickly, Elliot."

That day, Elliot practiced until his mana ran out. Elliot was exhausted and couldn't practice sword fighting in the evening.

As the sun began to rise, he started practicing sword fighting, and after breakfast he studied with Whis. Then in the afternoon, he practiced magic until his mana ran out. After a week of this daily routine, Elliot's mana no longer ran out even after finishing his afternoon magic practice.

"Just like the super recovery of muscle strength, it's proof that the total amount of mana in your body has increased," Clare explained.

Elliot didn't really feel it, but he was starting to feel a sense of accomplishment being able to practice sword fighting before dinner and practice his mana release speed.
