After giving Davin his post, Wrik sat cross-legged and started sensing mana. The principle of Mana sense was to feel the waves or flows of mana in the most comprehensive way. Sense each of the particles thoroughly. He could soon interpret the mana particle in the surrounding, well it's within his expectations, currently, his perception was over 30 while intelligence at 24.
Perception, intelligence and Magic power were the three most impactful stats over Mana manipulations. Perception helped in sensing mana in the shortest time, intelligence helped in controlling while the Magic power looked after the entire amount of it and its circulation speed.
Soon, he was sensing the mana in the surroundings. Well, it's not the hard part. The hard part was to stay in that state or to control how much to sense in detail. It's quite difficult to balance the perception. He started with just a one-metre radius around him. After spending a good amount of time in the radius, he felt that it was quite easy to stay in like that. After staying like that for half an hour, he started to increase the radius to 1.2metre. He found he had little a problem there either, maybe because of high intelligence and perception.
He suddenly had an urge to activate the [Eye of Insights] but ended that thought immediately. Eye of Insights could amplify his perception and sense to a whole level up, but he could use it for only a few minutes with his current mental strength—it was unnecessary to exhaust that. Moreover, he feared the piercing pain quite much.
After sensing the mana outside the body for about two hours, he changed the direction to within his body, his blood vessels and heart. Sensing mana within one's being was many times more difficult than sensing outside. Maybe with the help of the Eye of Insights, he would be able to sense it immediately.
After trying for a few minutes, seeing no results, he triggered the [Eye of Insights]. And the piercing pain in his brain launched at the very moment. But it's many times milder than before. Enough milder for him to continue. He made a mental calculation to continue. He wanted to feel the waves of mana particles inside him for a few moments; it would be quite helpful later if I knew the feeling.
After a few moments of searching, he sensed little waves of mana flowing slowly in his body. 'This is it.'
He made an effort to imagine an endless sea of calm water. Nothing but stillness and him present there. He imagined the mana as droplets of water—one drop of water poured to the surface of the sea.
The Mana particle within his body moved unhurriedly, according to his will. He turned off the [Eye of Insights]; there's no need for it anymore. The ethereal feeling was still present there even after he deactivated the innate ability. He concentrated his whole awareness to the surface of the sea that he imagined—he forgot everything about outside the sea. Another water droplet dropped—made the surface surge a little, then calmed down again. Water droplets started to pour one by one, and the process continued.
He could feel the ethereal ripples on the surface of the sea. There was nobody present between him and the sea—the Maha mana.
When he opened my eyes, it was already dawn. He had meditated the entire night, about six hours. The sounds of Miss lecturing Davin came in his ears. She was teaching him about the basics of Mana manipulations.
The first thing Wrik did after opening his eyes was to check the status window to see if there was any change. As the blue window appeared in front of him, he smiled; there was a new tab in the Omega abilities section.
[ Maha Mana Application (E- ) :
- Mana sense (E-): Mana sense is the basic sensing ability of Maha mana in the surroundings and within oneself. You can sense mana quite easily but you are at the still novice level.]
[ Mana circuit (Auxiliary) (Progress: 2.2%) :
Mana circuit is the auxiliary system where the mana flows. With a completely opened Mana circuit you can easily discharge mana outside the body with more momentum. It is unnecessary to fully open the Mana circuit to discharge mana from the body. The flowing speed of mana is proportional to the progress of the Mana Circuit. ]
He learnt Mana sense in just about six hours and even opened the Mana circuit to 2.2%. Well, he used some shortcuts, but who can blame him for that. Without the help from Eye of Insights, it might take him over a day to learn Mana sense. He chose a bit of pain rather than spending another day meditating.
Apart from this, there was a clear increase in intelligence, from 24 to 26 points. It also increased magic power to 18. Well, the attributes were still low, so he was not surprised to see it increasing.
After checking everything, he walked out of the hall. He noticed Davin had a bitter expression on his face while listening to Miss—the emerald-eyed. He still didn't know the name of her.
"I have a few questions as well," he said to the emerald-eyed girl—who looked at him with an interest in her eyes. "I didn't know much about the Mahasayer, so I thought I should ask you."
"Well, what you want to know?" The girl nodded. "Wait, your eyes—they look normal."
"Really," Wrik was astonished; it was a surprise to him. And then he found that his head was not hurting at all. He opened his status window to check and confirmed that his [Eye of Insights] was inactive; no, more like on standby. He could trigger it at will. But he was glad to know his eyes turned back to normal.
