The morning of the fourth day came and everyone gathered in front of the training room waiting for the teacher. Their faces no longer look as tired as in the previous days. They truly felt it; the effect of training is real. The ability to replenish mana from the air, which is a privilege for experts only, is an overwhelming advantage in speeding up training time and reducing recovery period after it.

'Good morning everyone.'

'Good morning, Master.'

Everyone answered Maximus with a single voice, Maximus, who arrived at seven o'clock without delay or advance. Then the door opened as usual and everyone entered. This training room was impressive as usual but they did not know how impressive it was compared to the rest of the rooms because they were new.

"I'm not going to lag behind others now. I must not lag behind."

"I'll ask the teacher about that technique later."

"I have to get first place this time, no more second places."

Each had inner thoughts and questions and was waiting for the right moment to unleash them, Yoon Hwa, Orion and Mira were the ones who thought the most of all.

'After completing the first two phases of mana training, we will enter the third phase which will determine your abilities in the future. It's the mana storage phase.'

'Master, didn't we suck mana from stone and store it in our hearts last time?'

'This is both true and untrue. Your words are right Mira but wrong at the same time.'

'I didn't understand how this was?'

'What I said is true, I'll teach you a way to do that, but I didn't tell you what kind of method it was. Who said anything about storing it only in the heart?'

'What!? Is there such a thing?'

After hearing that, everyone was silent; they were deeply shocked by Maximus' statement. Most knew that sorcerers and knights stored mana in their hearts and martial artists stored it under the stomach, but storing at several points is not common. Not that it is not common but that it is generally not possible.

'As I said earlier, today I will teach you a precedent in history since you are the ones who will make history in the future.'

‘We will do what we can, Master.'

With eyes full of determination, all except of Dante answered with one voice. Eric noticed Dante was not surprised by this and asked him suddenly:

'Why aren't you surprised, Dante? Did you already know about this?'

'Something like that, boy. Don't just pay attention to it.'

'Stop talking and focus with me. Sit all on the floor and watch what I'm going to do.'

It did not take long for everyone to sit down at the teacher's order. They then focused with his explanation of what they should be doing.

'I'm going to unblock my mana so you can see how it is distributed throughout my body. Watch carefully.'

Moments after the unveiling and with intense concentration, everyone was able to see where the mana was stored. The place of the heart was a luminous ball full of mana but not only him, there were five other points that they were able to see in the following areas: between the brain and the cerebellum, in each of the shoulders, and in the pelvis at the hips. The points were connected together with a slightly strange organization. The heart was the center and had a connecting channel with all the other centers, in addition to that, there were two channels connecting the center under the cerebellum with the centers in the shoulders. After seeing this, several questions were storming throughout their minds to understand how this organization works.

'Do you have anything to say?'

'What's the use of multiple storage centers, Master?'

Orion seriously asked about the usefulness of this unprecedented technique. Since it is a precedent in this field, he must be aware of the risks and benefits behind it before trying it.

'Good question. There are several goals and benefits from it. The most important are: if one of the centers is damaged, the rest of the centers will maintain their functions in addition to the possibility of using the mana from them. It will speed up the control of the mana and facilitate the distribution from the adjacent centers to the concerned member, increasing the maximum capacity of the user's mana.

'Does that mean multiple casting becomes much easier?'

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Mira asked the teacher after a quick thought about one of the benefits of this technique.

'Yes, although anyone can do multi-casting if they have enough skills, but with this technique, the lower bar required for the skill becomes much lower. Who can name other benefits?'

'I think it increases exponentially both endurance and stamina because as far as I know, when a person runs out of mana they get exhausted.'

'Great, Dante!! You can use mana from other centers without compromising the heart center and fight for hours in your perfect condition without getting tired.'

'Is this even possible??'

Dante put up a hypothesis just as a joke, but he could not believe it when the teacher told him it was really possible. Therefore, this was a surprise to everyone without exception.

"This opens up endless options on its own."

It was the only idea that everyone had at once.

'It's not easy to implement the technique and create multiple centers; the risks are high and may reach cerebral hemorrhage and death.'

'Are there ways to reduce risk, Master?'

Maximus did not wait long and answered directly. Well, it was expected to hear that kind of questions when talking about such a topic.

'Of course it is, otherwise I wouldn't have told you about it. That's why I made this phase consisting of two days, the second day of recovery from possible injuries.'

Each of them swallowed with difficulty, the stakes are high and the rewards are enormous, the question that arises now is: Is it worth the risk or not?

'The explanation is very simple but the application is dangerous. The first step is the hardest and most dangerous one. Success in it is equivalent to success in the rest with lesser risk.'

'What's this first step, Master?'

Aliana who was silent for a while spoke first now.

'The first step is to create a center between the brain and the cerebellum; it's the most important step as it allows your brain to precisely control the distribution and flow of mana in your body.'

'How can we do this?'

'That's where it comes my role as your teacher, you try to shape the center and I'm supporting you from the outside. Who would like to start first?'

"I'll come first. I trust the teacher's honesty and skills so I will give others a boost of courage as well."

Dante stepped forward first with confidence, he was not hesitant at all, because that is what it takes to be the oldest in the group. You have to step forward first to give courage to others.

'Dante, sit here.'

Maximus sat behind Dante and then continued:

'Watch carefully. You will have to do the same too.'

The atmosphere was very tense, there is no place for joking now. This time there is only one chance of success or death is inevitable.

'Just follow my instructions without hesitation. I will take care of correcting the errors. Don't lose your focus even for a moment; you understand the risks of that experiment?'

'Yes, Master.'

'Remember the sensation of absorbing mana from the crystal, you have to do the opposite now. You'll create something like a crystal with your mana.'

'Start by moving the mana from your heart towards your head in small amounts, follow the flow of blood towards your head.'

'When it reaches the top of the neck, start pushing it back near the cerebellum and start stacking it there.'

'When it starts to pile up it forms a hard crust around it to contain the rest of the mana, release a small part to make sure there are no leaks. If you find them, restock the mana and form a new container to prevent leaks. Never lose your focus. A random leak of mana into the brain is like an overdose of the drug, you will die without realizing what has happened.'

Dante never spoke; he was much focused and followed the teacher's orders carefully while the others watched him. They had to repeat the same steps later.

'Good so far. It's time to expand it by pumping the mana and stretching the walls of the vessel to increase the amount of the stored mana like a balloon full of water.'

'Increase the flow gradually, gently... Gently... Gently. Enough now.'

'Now with the last stage. You have to form a channel connecting the two centers, starting with your heart and continuing until you reach the center of the brain. Make it aligned with the artery. '

Within an hour and a half from the start, Dante completed the task successfully and without major problems thanks to the help of his teacher to prevent accidents. The confidence of the others increased as they continued on the process until all of them have completed the formation of the brain center and connecting it to the center of the heart. A hard day of training ended and before the workout was concluded Maximus asked them a question, that each of them had to answer. The question was as follows:

'What changes do you feel in your bodies? Try to mention everything you feel. '

The question is answered in the following order:

Dante: My thinking speed accelerated and my senses became sharper.

Orion: I feel that the accumulation of fatigue has become slower; I can train like this for 12 hours without rest.

Mira: Precise control of mana movements has become much easier; I feel that the flow accuracy also has improved.

Eric: My vision has become much better; I can confirm that my accuracy in aiming will improve with this.

Aliana: I have come to feel the spiritual connection between the spirits and me.

Tai Min: My control of my movement has become a little better.

Yoon Hwa: I feel I am close to surpass my physical limits.

'Good results for everyone, tomorrow each of you will have to set up the other centers alone without my support. I will guide you but not help you.'

'Thank you for your guidance, Master.'

And here, each of them left to make sure how much he improved. The fourth day ended quietly.....
