In the carriage, Aldrich asks Dustin, you kept on smiling since we left the palace of drassia,so I want to know what happened after I left the room.

Still smiling, dustin replies,I am smiling because I found the person needed to execute the plan I have been formulating for years.

Aldrich asks,I know he is perfect to be a pawn in our game but to control him,we need to find his weakness. For that reason,I have acted like a muscle head. Still,he didn't try take advantage of me,so I believed he is too cunning and cautious.

Dustin says, your analysis is perfect, he is way too good to be a pawn because as you said he is too cunning and cautious that's why he didn't show any emotions while we were discussing.

But,at last I found his weakness after offering your only daughter to him. Aldrich with anger asks, what do you mean,I already told you that my daughter will never be a part of politics.

Dustin replies, please calm down because I never really meant to offer your daughter. It was just a test to see, how he would react to an unexpected situation. My test succeeded and he finally showed some emotion.

Aldrich says, he must have shown emotion of lust all over his face because my daughter is considered the most beautiful archer in the kingdom.

Dustin says,if that were the case, things would have been much easier but he rejected that offer with a faint emotion which is either disgust or disappointment.

Aldrich in rage asks, wait do you mean by that,does that punk thinks my daughter is ugly or something.

Dustin says,no no I can certainly say, that those emotions were aimed at me. I believe he is disappointed in me because I used a woman as bargaining chip.

At that point,I stopped seeing him as a pawn and started looking him as a person because I also don't want to use women to gain power or profit.

So, now i wanted to win his trust rather than controlling him and I believe he will do some unbelievable things in future,so I want to help him as much as possible. But if he betrays us then we can easily get rid of him but I don't want that to happen.

Aldrich thinks,I have never seen prince dustin like this before because he is always cold and calculating just like his father........... Wait a minute, prince dustin once said that he wanted a sorcerer to be his right hand man, just like the strongest mage of our kingdom who is also strategist and right-hand man of the emperor.

So,does this means ,he is interested in Nathan because he is a strategist and also a talented mage,so he wanted to make him his right hand man.

In Nathan's room, after reading all the books regarding magic skills and sword techniques, he thinks, most mages have only one attribute and they can only use one breathing technique to replenish and strengthen mana.

There are many breathing techniques available for fire type mages like me. I choose a technique called bull breathing technique, which not only improves mana but also physical strength of my body.

But this,mana breathing technique has a down side because it can only improve my strength similar to 5th class knight and mana upto only 7th class.

Now, I already reached my limit with this technique. It means I can't grow any stronger in my life. But I knew all these things before I choose this technique.

I still choose it because I knew a way to improve this technique. By combining it with a technique named dragon breathing technique which is very difficult to perform,I can improve my breathing technique.

By combining these two techniques,a new technique named dragon bull mana technique will be formed which can be used to become 9th class mage.

Thinking this,he starts to perform bull mana technique and after sometime he starts to perform dragon mana technique.

Due to this, plenty mana starts to accumulate inside his mana circles. But in few seconds he finds that his mana circles are over flowing with mana. Seeing this, he drinks mana eating poison.

Due to that poison,the excessive mana in his body gets absorbed in the poison. Once the poison reaches its saturation state then he uses an antidote to nullify that poison. Then he drinks some more mana eating poison to absorb the excessive mana in his body and this proces goes on for 5 hours.

Nathan starts to notice that those two mana breathing techniques are almost combined successfully,and he just needs to give it one more push.

After few minutes Nathan performs dragon bull technique successfully. So,he was overjoyed with this result,so he tries to perform 2nd class spell using dragon bull mana breathing technique but suddenly his mana circles starts overload.

Nathan was shocked after observing this so he drinks all the poison but still excessive mana keeps on overloading the mana circles. Due to this he starts to scream in pain but suddenly that excessive mana disappears without a trace.

Nathan sighs and after taking the antidote,he thinks wait did that mana just gotten into that black hole thing in my abdomen. If that were the case then I need to experiment on this black hole thing but I need to give it name first.

I heard aura users have a core in their abdomen which helps them to store and use their aura efficiently. So I wanted to name this black hole as a black core.

Thinking all this,he performs many spells from 1st class to sixth class which he learnt just 6 hours before.He observes, whenever he uses dragon bull breathing technique, excessive mana tries to over load his mana circles but immediately the excessive mana gets absorbed into his black core.

After few hours of practice,he observes a black circle was formed around him black core. Nathan was shocked after finding this but after some observation he finds that he can use mana from his black core.

Nathan tries to use 2nd class spell using that mana but nothing happened,so he tries first class but still nothing happens.

So he gets disappointed but thinking for some time, he tries use that mana to make his fist stronger like aura. Still, nothing happens but suddenly that aura takes the form of a black flame and comes out of his hand which shocks him.

Suddenly the black flame gets dissipated. Seeing this, Nathan again tries to make the black flame come out by transferring the mana from black core to his hand.

This time,he successfully creates a black flame from his palm. Nathan, with joy screams yesssss,I finally figured out how to use the black flame.
