Chapter 2118. Deeper Understandings


    Between the three, the mana was flowing in an interesting form. Walker had been amazed that they were able to adapt to how he and Fleur moved the elemental manas around the room. Especially since he had a deeper understanding than them. But this seemed to be a boon for them more than he realized. It was like he had met three hungry beasts. They had just found the food that they needed for the first time in their life and they would not let it be. The methods that walker and Fleur passed the manas to them were full of secrets. Not so much to Walker and Fleur, but to these younger potential tower masters. They wanted to learn what they could since they wanted to prove that they had the ability to be a master in the mage tower. While they were seeing the manas in a more bnced format than what they had experienced, they were also able to feel the control that Walker had when passing them. This was because Walker understood how the manas flowed better than them. In reference, he was able to pass the water mana in a way that flowed something. Water mana could be rough like prickling ice or smooth like flowing water. It could also take the form of steam in some instances or mist. This made it a little harder to acertain because the way it flowed was always changing. Yet,. when the three felt the water mana, they realized that Walker was holding it in his control by making his own internal mana the very same. He was mimicking the way that the water mana flowed through their air so that he was closer to it. This was the same reason why mages or anyone with an affinity might meditate on their elemental affinity or mana. They wanted to understand it better. But with the way that Walker did it, he made that mana his entire being. He tried to sense the changes in it all around him, unconsciously making himself act more like that mana. This could have been seen by those that had witnessed him using those manas though. They had seen how he used the first whip in battle. The frost whip which flowed like water but struck like sharp ice. That was an example of how he understood that transformation within the mana. How he was able to match it to such a high degree. As the three felt this, they believed that they had been fooled in to thinking that water mana was just something that was one way. They had not taken in to ount that it would change through the day or in general just around them by them being there. Walker even went so far to create a small bead of water that he changed through various forms but kept at the same size. His demonstration without words spoke more than what they had each grasped within the entire time that they had known their own affinities. While each had made massive leaps since the world had returned to the proper flow, especially the half elf girl since it had helped her illness, they had not known anything as deep as this. When he switched to fire, a contrasting elemental mana, they felt the water mana pushed away. Their grasp on them weakening. They also sense the water mana pushing back though, the water and fire had to bnce within the air and was only out of bnce because Walker was pushing away the water mana as well. But the change that they sense before he put that change on the water mana, was what they had also missed. "I can feel that all of you have not been in nature much. You should go somewhere without many people using skills and just meditate for a few days. I once sat on the steps of my house and meditated. No one was around and I sat there for the entire night. No one changed the manas but the manas flowed naturally. It is the best way to see how the world is moving. How everything works together to create what is needed. The me in the middle of them started to change colors. Walker had mixed in light mana and dark mana making it rotate in a different flow. A ball of fire that was both light and dark affinity. "Even the two opposing manas that I mixed using fire as the bond are able to coexist. I learned this while working with Midnight, my little sister, she can breathe both light and dark mes now." "But, just because someone is lower leveled, does not mean that they can not beat you in control of mana. You just have more weight to throw around because of your strengths. What I mean, is that mixing manas is not all you can do when you have a better grasp on them as a whole." Walker suddenly focused on every mana around them. As he did so. The three felt that they lost all control of the manas within the room. No matter how they reached out and how they even tried to sense the manas, they were blocked from doing so. They felt that they had entered a manaless room altogether. They were blind in a way. "I am mixing the manas and forcing them to avoid you three. You only have the manas inside you now, none that you can call on from the outside to do anything. Because of this, I have the ability to make more natural mana and prevent you from using your skills." As he did this, the three felt that they had never been able to get such a pure look within themselves. They were looking and sensing whatever they could but they also felt that they were unable to sense anything. Their manas were moreplicated than what they expected. Within their bodies, they were not as bnced as what they had believed. The three had all believed that they were naturally bnced within. That they had the affinities to use these manas and manipte them whenever they desired. They had the skills, so why would they have to worry about the flow of those skills, themselves? "You should feel it now. You have the same manas that you use all the time in your bodies. But you are not matching them to what they are doing outside. If you miss this, then you are not mixed with the skills the ways that you think you are."


    As Walker saw them all frowning and realizing that they had missed a big part of themselves let alone how to use their skills, he was more impressed that they were able to grasp this so quickly. This he chalked up to the fact that the world was properly flowing now. The manas within people had also been influenced by this. Since the system had be as it should be, the sses were stronger. They designated the skills and experiences of people. Their innate abilities were able to shine much brighter as well. These three had the affinities to use these manas better than what others could. Therefore, they also had to grasp them better. "I missed earth mana. I didn''t pay enough attention to it at all and I ampletely unbnced!'' the half elf eximed this with a decent amount of frustration. She had been looking at all the manas and not caring enough for earth mana. This caused her to internally lose grasp on manas a little more because her body reflected her outer control. "I''m the same with wind mana. I was totally lost to the ways that it bonded within my body and caused fire mana to suffer." one of the demons was looking at his hands like he had just found a great w within himself. "What is the rotation of manas within us supposed to be? I can''t grab at it or change it." The other demon looked at Walker for guidance. "It will be different for everyone. I learned to move manas through me in a more passive way than active, but as I learned more about them, this grew stronger. I found ways to channel manas through my body and blend them to make natural mana. Now, I even know how to sense the life mana and the death mana within me. It''s always there, but it is mysterious and hard to even fathom." ''That''s the same for space mana. It''s slippery.. Time mana is lost to me since I only know of it and not how to sense it yet." Watching the three of them grapple with all this made Fleur giggle a little as she started to move about the room again to push the manas back toward the three and let them feel the changes within their bodies after losing and having mana control back. …N?v(el)B\\jnn
