The sixth day arrived quickly and the mana training was coming to an end, during which several difficulties appeared, but the benefits outweighed the effort, and fatigue dissipated as if it had never been.

'Wake up, boys. You shouldn't be late this time.'

Dante, who woke up early, woke up the children in turn. Their faces were indicative of fatigue from lack of sleep, but remembering training began to remove the atmosphere of fatigue. Each of them was prepared and trained to absorb mana from the air, which helped replenish their energy and vitality. The fatigue on their faces that was overwhelming an hour earlier disappeared, and together they left the dormitory room and headed towards the training room. Three minutes after they arrived, the girls arrived. It was five minutes to seven o’clock, and they waited while enjoying the fresh morning atmosphere until the teacher arrived.

'You are very active today; it's going to be a great day for sure.'

Maximus smiled at his disciples who began to make remarkable progress in a week. He opened the portal of the training room and they entered successively.

'What have you done about the booklet I gave to you yesterday? '

Each answered differently, some of them tried all the methods and did not master any of them completely, and some of them focused on one or two to master them well. Of course, everyone has his or her own ways of self-learning.

'Then it is okay for everyone, diligence alone is an achievement. Even if you do not succeed, keep going. You are the hope of the world.'

The boys were resolute upon hearing this and excited to continue. Training without a reason or purpose is futile because it does not give a clear motivation to proceed, the reason, even if it seems trivial to others, remains better than the drifter who is chasing after a futile pursuit.

Let us start with the first of five techniques, mana rotation, which aims to make mana circulate in your body either with blood circulation or in other directions that you determine. Just watch what I am going to do and follow the steps of the book and you will understand what I am doing. '

Mana rotation was divided into three parts: following the current, creating the current, and regulating the current.

Following the current is the first aim of circulating mana in the body by following the blood circulation to and from the heart. Accelerate the process of regeneration and self-healing of injuries.

The creation of the current aims to create channels for the flow of mana and be independent of the blood vessels, allowing the mana to move in the desired direction, allowing the exchange of mana between the different centers to ensure that agility and stamina are maintained during combat.

Current regulation aims to determine the direction and intensity of the flow in various directions giving the best control with the lowest consumption and highest efficiency.

The students lined up and sat down to imitate what the teacher had done, and over the next two hours, they were able to understand its foundations and apply them to some extent, thanks to the teacher's guidance and assistance to direct the flow.

Seeing madly gifted students makes any teacher lose his mind and rationality. Every teacher on this continent wished having just one of them.

He followed it up like this and they started to understand all the techniques to some extent. They were as follows: mana condensation, basic uses in attack and defense, manipulating mana.

It was fine until Academy President Albus visited the room and here was a surprise. He examined all the students, and no one recognized him except for Dante, who gave him a solemn greeting.

'I salute the President of the Academy.'

The others quickly woke up and got up to greet him too. He replied:

'My friend's students seem to be respectful unlike their teacher.'

'Stop saying things like that; don't incite my students against me.'

'Would you allow me a word with your teacher in private; I'll borrow him for a while.'

'Keep training, I'll be back in a few minutes.'

At this moment, Maximus snapped his fingers, he, and Albus disappeared in an instant.

'Let us complete the training as we have been asked, do not interfere with what does not concern you.'

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

'Yes, Dante.'

Everyone answered Dante in a slightly sad way; the opportunity to rest disappeared due to the absence of the teacher, because of Dante's presence. Each of them was cursing Dante inside but he did not care about them because he knew things they did not know.

----------------------

'You have to explain this and now, Maximus, what happened to their bodies? Have you been experimenting on humans?'

Albus's calm and sober expression turned in an instant into a sharp expression, ready to kill Maximus according to the answer if necessary. He was not at all tolerant towards human experiments because he witnessed atrocities decades ago. The experiment cannot succeed from the first attempt; it is dozens of sacrifices before obtaining one successful sample, let alone several samples.

Maximus realized the kind of misunderstanding that had occurred and, to simplify things and solve the problem at the same time, took a pamphlet out of his pocket, gave it to him, and asked him to read it.

'Take this booklet and you'll understand a bit what's going on. Also, this is my own space and you can't leave it without my permission, and you cannot leave it once you kill me, for your information, friend.'

'It's best if the booklet explains what it means and solves this misunderstanding. I also don't want to kill a dear friend; this will destroy me for the rest of my life.'

Ten minutes passed while Albus was reading the pamphlet, his serious and deadly expressions began to turn into shocked expressions that grew as he continued to read the pamphlet, he did not understand what had happened anymore. As someone who discovered his whole life was just a lie.

'Although I have devoted myself to magic, you bring a book like this from nowhere and it talks about something that is implausible like this.'

Albus continued to read in amazement and denial, such as someone coming and telling you that you are adopted and that this is not your real family. He did not just come randomly; he brought evidence to prove it. It is the trauma of a lifetime and it is difficult to recover from it without accepting it.

'But it's the reality, my friend, it's real and the kids trained on it and it worked.'

Maximus, who forgot to unveil his mana flow, remembered and removed it and then continued the conversation:

'I forgot to remove this, it also worked for me. You can also learn it if you want and I'll help you with that.'

'Let me gather my thoughts first.... Does this technique even make sense?'

'Could you give me the booklet first?'

'Take it if you appreciate it. Can anyone really learn it?'

'Yes and no. Success depends on a person's skill, but the risk is very high and the probability of death is concerning.'

The curious boy who controls Albus from time to time returns when he sees an opportunity looming in front of him.

'Will it work for me? Also, what is the benefit of teaching children this technique?'

'That's one of the things I am planning to tell you after the competition. The time is a bit inopportune now. Please excuse me for that.'

'It's better not to forget your promise to me. Let us pretend that nothing happened between us. By the way, I'll tell your students about the competition.'

'Do whatever you want. Let's go back anyway.'

Maximus snapped his fingers and threw them back into the training room.

'Can I have a minute of your time, kids?'

'We have the honor, Academy's headmaster.'

They all got anxious after the principal requested a talk with them; it is hard to predict what he wanted to talk about. They were afraid to answer in a way that will not please him.

'We will have a competition between you and the top seven students at our academy after the midterm competition in less than a month. I would like you not to disappoint me in it.'

'Wait, sir... Are we going to participate in the midterm competition? But we are not students at the academy.'

'It will take place a day after the midterm event. That is, three days after the end of your training, as your teacher told me.'

Maximus continued to explain the rest after the principal's words:

'It's not a public competition; we'll hold it in secrecy in the presence of me, the manager and the competitors only. No one else will attend, maybe.'

'We'll do our best to impress you.'

In a respectful tone similar to a knight doing his oath, the future heroes promised that they would achieve outstanding results. They found another reason to work harder in their training and achieve greater goals in the future.

'So, I'm leaving now. I hope to meet you again.'

The manager said a few words and left and then everyone continued their training until they completed it. At the end of today's class, Maximus, as usual, addressed his disciples:

'As the manager said, the competition will take place after the end of the training. The manager has a purpose, I have a goal as well, and my goal is to see your development. Tomorrow's training is to improve the mastery of today's skills. Your motivation is stronger, so don't give up.'

'I won't disappoint you, Master.'

Eric, the youngest member, was very enthusiastic to impress the teacher. An unbending will caught in his eyes.

'You can leave except Dante and Aliana. I have a word for both of you.'

Others left with great enthusiasm, waiting for tomorrow to learn more and more, wanting to move forward on this path.

The two waited for the teacher to start talking about an important topic they did not expect...
