However, trying to alter my soul in any way proves to be harder than expected. The natural response of the soul to pepper the mana breach with imprinted mana proves to be quite hard to handle. It hinders my capability to reinforce the mana breach because I must divide my focus between reinforcing the breach and holding back the overwhelming influx of imprinted mana.

But even still, under these treacherous conditions, my great and wonderful self proves to be up to the task. And so after an unknown amount of time, I manage to reinforce the mana breach.

However, I do not have much time to dwell on my greatness as my soul quickly gives up on restricting the natural flow of imprinted mana around the mana breach. This means that all the electrical impulses, that were originally not being utilised in the soul, transfer through the mana breach and sync up with my physical spinal cord.

The feeling is horrid, it’s like my mind got hit with some new kind of pain that it had never experienced in its existence. After a couple of seconds of the horrid feeling, I can't take it anymore my pupils dilate, and I pass out.

I wake up face down on a bed, I get up a little confused, not recalling my surroundings. But then I remember everything. Did it work?

I take the soul-sensing ring off my finger, and I can still sense my soul, actually, I can sense my soul better than I ever could. The imprinted mana traveling through my mana veins seems clearer than ever.

I test my new heightened control, by mentally grabbing a random chunk of imprinted mana and moving it around, yesterday this would have taken me a lot of concentration and effort to do but now, well… it still takes concentration but much less than last time.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

But I shall not be demotivated, because according to the soul theory teacher to advance to the fourth stage of becoming a wizard, I need to train my current imprinted mana manipulation to a level where I can create mana breaches in my soul by will.

Actually speaking of the soul theory teacher where is she, did she leave me just lying on a bed in a random room, such an irresponsible idiot should not have the responsibility of being the great me’s teacher.

Looking around I see a letter lying on the chair she was sitting on, picking it up it says “Dear Jeldard, I apologize but I must depart now, something important has come up. Although I am glad to tell you that you have completed the second step, although slower than normal. That’s probably because you came to me a bit too early, remember always be prepared and thoughtful before making a decision.”.

She is incorrect, the actual reason It took me great self so long is because of that stupid ability, if it’s going to be a hindrance to me then why do I have it in the first place, whoever makes these abilities is probably less intelligent than a fly.

*sigh whatever, I get out of the chamber and start walking back to my dorm.

Heading outside I notice that it’s night time, oh how fun, my sleeping schedule is ruined.

Walking inside my dorm, I place the ring I don’t need anymore onto a table near Ustos.

Ahh Ustos, his basically become useless to me at this point, I’ve already drained him of all the information he has, I’ve learned how to use a quill, and I can even mimic his exact handwriting. So now this idiot’s just here taking up space. I go to bed early to get my sleeping schedule back in order.

The next day after soul theory class ends, the teacher asks me to stay longer.

“Ah Jeldard, now that you have passed the second stage you must start practicing for the fourth stage.”.

“You need to gain better imprinted mana control. Now that you’re on the third stage you should be able to sense your soul much better than you previously could.”.

“Now, to gain better control of your mana, you must observe your own mana core. What it does, how it functions, and you have to implement it into your own mana manipulation,” I nod.

“I understand Ms”.

“Very good then, I must be going now I’m quite busy,” how the hell is she always busy, I want to talk to her longer, that was a bit too vague.

“Goodbye Mrs Rose,” hearing my response, she nods and walks away, leaving me alone in the class.

I start heading back to my dorm. Heading in I find Ustos right next to the table, walking past him I sit down on my bed and start thinking of what that dumb teacher told me.
