Volume 12 Chapter 14: Blooming Flowers In Class

Keith headed to the next class. This class was with Shire, and the instructor explained, "Today, you guys will be doing some magic training. More specifically, the gathering of mana." Mana gathering was a fundamental step for most mages.

"Come here and take one." 

"Pots?" What was brought before them was a flower pot. This made them confused. 

"In them are mana seeds. They will grow based on the amount of mana supplied to it." It was a simple practice tool for mages who needed practice. 

"Go ahead and send your mana into the seeds. This will help you increase your control of your mana." 

"Understood!" The F-class students started to focus their mana on the seed. Keith raised his hand on top of the seed and sent the mana into the seed. Instantly, a beautiful yellow flower bloomed in the pot. Multiple flowers were born there as well. 

“…Keith, that’s messed up.” Shire could only hold his head. That man was the only one who could do something like that.

"So pretty!"

"I've never seen a flower like this." 

"It's beautiful, Keith." 

The other students couldn't help but be mesmerized by his flower. Keith scratched his head, "It's nothing. That's something that I've been practicing for quite some time." These flowers were planted in his garden for fun. Depending on the mana he sent into it, the color would change. 

"The rest of you need to make flowers." Shire could only shake his head. Just because one person could make it, the others would have to do the same.  

“Understood.” That was when the others started to increase their focus on the plant. Some were able to create the flowers. Not as big as Keith's pot, but it was more than enough. However, some of them weren't able to produce a pot. 

"Coen, your flower looks nice." Before Coen was a dark green flower. It looked cozy and less vibrant, but there were many. 

"Sam, you're great at concentrating!" Sam was much better than Coen as he bloomed the seed with vibrant red flowers. 

"It's a little too bright for me." Sam's cheeks turned the same color as he stared at it. 

"Woah! Olin, your pot is so beautiful." Before the student was a beautiful blue flower. It wasn't like Keith. But it was more attractive compared to the other students. 

"..." That means he's good at gathering magic. Is he a mage? Either way, he was a skilled person. 

"You guys are concentrating too hard." Keith laughed as he noticed one issue the students had, "When you're focusing on your mana, let it come naturally to you. Don't try to slam it down." Like a running stream, if the stream was too fast, then there was no control. If it was too slow, then it wouldn't be enough. It needed to be coming at a comfortable and casual pace rather than the other two. 

"Helm, try again. But this time, be calm and composed." 

Helm took a deep breath and then started to focus his mana again. And when he did so, the flower began to bloom into a small amber flower. Keith nodded, “That’s good. Just make sure not to add too much mana into your chants next time.” Hearing his words, Keith went out to help the other students out. But as he did so, he noticed an elf having trouble.

“Do you need help, Vera?” There weren't many elves that were in F-class. They would be placed in a higher class because they had high magical powers from the beginning.

"Umm, will you help me?" Vera was a little shy as she stared at him. 

Keith nodded, “Don’t mention it. I have some elf friends." Faelyn and Alfia were his friends. He didn't mind helping her out. 

"Try to concentrate your mana into the seed again.”

“Mmhmm,” Vera did just that, but that was when he realized the situation. He frowned, “Hmm, do you always have trouble gathering mana?”

“…Yes.” Vera looked down, “That was something I can never do all the time.” Elves could easily do something like that, but she was having difficulty doing so. 

Keith smiled, "How about you think about something else?"

"Hmm?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Where do you concentrate your mana on?" From time to time, mages would concentrate mana on specific spots. 

"I was taught to use the palms." That was how they would usually do so. 

"Try concentrating your mana on the fingertips." Doing somewhere might be better for her.

"Understood." Vera started to concentrate, and when she did, she said, "It feels a little better with this." She placed her fingers onto the pot, and a light green flower slowly bloomed. 

"It bloomed!" Vera's eyes sparkled as she stared at the pot.

"Hmm, that's good for your first attempt. You should try to do some focusing on one fingertip or something? It might help you concentrate your mana better." 

"Understood!"
