Chapter 45: [Mana Control!]

[Adam's POV]

.

.

"I can't teach you Light Magic yet," Oriel outright rejected me. I was about to ask the reason, but he then added," I don't know how, but your Mana Concentration and Mana Control are almost non-existent. The fact that you can use healing magic is already a hard fact to believe, but well, that is the reason."

I looked at him for a few seconds as I was about to give him a proposal but he interrupted once again," Find a book on Mana Circulation. Then try controlling mana from the scratch. Since even kids can do it, I think you should be able to do it as well. Once your Mana Control reaches the point, you can create Mana Balls and change its form into a semifluid state. I will help you from there."

He was pretty adamant about it, but he didn't seem like a bad guy. Taking the quest, that guy left as he bid me farewell. I thanked him before moving to the guild shop and bought the 'Basic of Mana Circulation' before bringing it to the room.

But instead of reading the book immediately, I went down to increase my Adventurer rank. Luckily, Evelyn was still there, so I asked her to help me with the Rank Increase, which she did without much time passing.

Thanking her, I went out of the guild to notice that night had already arrived. I wonder when-

I looked up to find Alepsia standing on the rooftop just against the guild building. I smiled as I then moved to a nearby alley, found a suitable spot and used the [Shadow] skill. Changing my form, I reached the rooftop where Alepsia was.

"What's the mission this time?" I was curious. I wanted to try a couple of fighting methods this time. Since I was deciding to completely differentiate between Adam and Morpheus, I probably won't be using the dagger. But fighting with just spells wasn't that flexible either.

"Come with me," she said as she began moving rapidly, and following her using the [Shadow] skill, I pretty much reached another hideout where the dark mages were. Sure enough, they were a bit prepared this time compared to the last time.

"MONST-AAAAAAAA!!!!"

[You have killed a Level 42 Heretic!]

[You have gained 72,500 Exp!]

[Level up +1]

[+1 All Stats]

[+2 Free Attribute points!]

"Good work," Alepsia vanished again, this time after the work was finished. And I stretched a little before moving back to the guild. Getting into the room, I then hit the bed, finally succeeding in sleeping.

[Are you sure you want to overwrite the Save Point?]

[Save Point being overwritten!]

[Proceeding to Sleep!]

[All conditions fulfilled!]

[Save Point Created!]

Waking up early in the morning, I brushed my teeth before taking a long bath. Soaking myself in the water, I enjoyed the bath for at least an hour before I got out of it and took a quick shower. Once I was changed into another set of clothes, I then took out the book that I bought yesterday.

It took about an hour before I could even make sense of what was written on the first page. But soon I was able to make the gist of it. Took another hour before I moved to the next page, and then the next and by the time I finished 3 pages, I saw that the entire day had passed.

And once again, I continued with a bath before I began studying again.

I don't know how long it took me to complete the entire book, but after reading the same thing over and over, I became more or less familiar enough with it that I could replicate it without looking even once.

And that wasn't all

[You have unlocked a Hidden feature of the Skill Tree: Mana Control!]

'Well, it was something I was targeting but to think I would get it without putting points in the skill tree,' I was surprised as I looked at the system.

[Mana Control (Common) (1/10)!]

[Description: Allows you to increase the form of the mana, increasing the efficiency of the mana usage.

Effects: Reduces Mana Cost by 5%!]

Because it was unlocked in the System Tree, meant I could increase it using the Skill points, but for now since I have found a way to increase the level of Mana Control, I think I am going to learn further.

'With that out of the way, let's check out and see if there are any quests I could do,' I thought as I moved down the floor reaching the ground area. Though, to my surprise, I found a familiar face down there.

"Evelyn? Shouldn't your shift be at 10?" I checked the time to be 7 AM right now. Was she working overtime? Hmmmmm… and why is she… in a nightdress?

"I apologize, Adam. Please take care of my family… by one reason or another, you are the only one whom I can trust. Take care of my siblings," she mumbled in a low, audible voice as I looked at her. Her eyes seemed teary as if she were breaking…

"What are you-" though before I could even utter another word…. She started getting transparent. As if she were a ghost, she started vanishing from there…

"Thank you for the memories," were her last words before she vanished from there.

"Adam. What are you doing standing there dazed?" I heard a voice from behind, finding Layla looking at me with a confused expression.

"Ummm… You didn't see Evelyn vanishing from there in thin air?" I asked as I observed her, making her even more confused. Did she really not see her?

"What?" she asked, unable to understand my words

"Forget about it. Do you know when Evelyn left last night?" I asked again, trying to collect any information regarding this.

"Ummm… Adam… who is Evelyn?" Layla asked as she slightly tilted her head in confusion.
