The Adventures of Clara

Raph, Time for Training

These days are getting good. All thanks to Raph, for accompanying the lonely girl.

The training is not heavy either. It even feels so fun.

Moreover, with Raph at his side Clara no longer had to fear fatigue or sunlight. So for so long little girl Clara can finally feel the warmth of the sun.

Today Raph teaches the basis of magic, which is about its source.

"Do you know where that is? Mana is one form of energy, such as electrical energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy and so on ... Don't understand?"

"This is a serious elementary class?" ask Clara, confused.

Not because Clara was stupid. The so-called basis for Raph is actually very advanced to this world standard. Let alone Clara, other scientists might also be a little confused.

After pondering for a moment, Raph simplified his lectures.

"Look ya~. To do something, not just humans, but everything that moves requires energy. There are all kinds of energy and which is just one of them, okay?"

Clara nodded enthusiastically. Although a bit clueless but he can catch the meaning of the word Raph.

"Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only change its form. For example ya~ motion energy is used to drive a windmill and generate electrical energy."

"...?"

"The bottom is yes~ energy can only be changed, period. What makes mana special is its flexible nature. If motion energy had to drive a windmill first to generate electricity, with which you would be able to directly convert mana into electricity. Not just electricity, the edges of various things," explained Raph at length, still difficult to understand. "More ya~ the amount of mana is very abundant and will not run out unless this world is destroyed.

"This nature ya~ is used by magicians to create miracles. In short, in theory with which you would be able to do anything. Well, for now I will teach you the techniques of absorbing and controlling mana.

"The easiest way to absorb mana ya~ through breathing. Because humans do not need a conscious mind to breathe. That's why for now I'm going to teach you meditation techniques that are oriented to the respiratory system."

Clara who had been listening carefully held her head in pain. The wrinkles on his forehead were also very deep.

"Well, try it first."

With this technique Clara will be able to absorb the mana around when breathing air. Then circulate it throughout the body through blood vessels. It is also beneficial for health if done correctly.

After that the mana will be re-expressed into the air when sighing.A small part of mana will remain in the body. This is what will be used to cast magic.

With this technique the amount of mana that can be collected will increase very quickly. The downside is, for now Clara can only do so through meditation and is ineffective in combat.

Clara's stunned. This technique is very simple but the effect is amazing. As expected of a powerful, intelligent, and also super duper master of the cute warbiyazah, Raph.

Raph himself was a bit surprised Clara was able to master it in a short time, "This ya~ is not as simple as it looks. But, yeah ... Whatever."

"For now ya~ master this technique. If you can do it even in combat then this technique will be very OP (Over Power)."

In the next few days Clara continued to practice this technique and managed to master it to the stage where Raph called it feasible.

Raph started another class. He opened the class with a fairy tale about the ancestors of humans.

There is a legend, it can also be said myths about the ancestors of the human race.

That said, to survive in the harsh environment of human ancestors makes an exchange with God, or the devil? Well, who knows. This legend has been very long and biased.

The human ancestor sacrificed 900 years of his life in exchange for strength. That is why most humans do not have a lifespan until the age of a hundred.

The human ancestor became as strong as an elephant, as fast as a lion, had great stamina, as well as hard skin.they quickly began to rise from the bottom of the food chain. Now no one dared to underestimate the human race anymore.

But secretly, there were some other ancestors who traded their lifespan for different choices. Not power, but wisdom.

The sage ancestors were scorned by the powerful ancestors, looked down upon, even at being expelled from the human realm.

From here the storyline is very easy to guess.

Long story short, a great war erupted. As a result, the world is almost in collapse.

The life of the human ancestors has deteriorated. Their strength was not enough to survive in this new environment. What is the use of strength if there is no food to fill the stomach. One by one, humans fall to the point of being threatened with extinction.

Those who survived were wise ancestors. How'd you say? Well, of course because they're wise.

They are not strong, but with wisdom they imitate the power of powerful men. They imitate the magic of dragons. They imitate the craft of dwarves. They imitated the way to utilize nature from the fairies. And thus the wise ancestor was able to survive even to create hegemony over the world.

Finishes.

“From this story what can you conclude?” ask Raph.

“Ya~ is right too, anyway. But that's not what I meant. All back again at one point, mana.”

The technique of controlling mana is broadly divided into two. Martial methods and magician methods.

Martial arts are generally used by fighters. They used mana to strengthen the body and sharpen weapons. They absorb and assimilate mana with the body. From here it will strengthen the body little by little.

Witches usually use mana to create miracles. Different from fighters, Witches absorb mana to be collected, then in time where it will be issued in a different form—for example fireballs in accordance with the will of the witch, that is called magic.

“The bottom line, why do witches need to chant spells? Because humans imitate dragons that are able to create miracles just by talking. While the mana control technique was the way the sage ancestor imitated the powerful ancestor,” explained Raph, at length.

"In addition to spell chanting there are also many other methods for using magic. For example with rituals or can also make a pact with the spirit of nature.

“Basically, witches do not need to go too deep into martial methods. There are several pros and cons in mastering both methods. As the amount of time and effort will double. There may even be conflicts with where. But, with your skills there should be no problem. Maybe.”

“It sounds dubious,” murmured Clara.

“I will give you a high-class method that is not inferior to the war god technique or the death god technique. So practice diligently.”

"Yes!"

If magic is divided into five levels, martial arts are divided into seven levels.

Starting from the lowest level of elementary, middle, advanced, enlightenment, earth, sky, unification of the earth-sky.

“The names sound too chuuni. Who the hell gave you a name?”

“Don't ask me.”

The basic to advanced level is basically the same, which is to absorb mana to strengthen the muscles and senses. Depending on the technique practiced there may be other additional steps.

An additional step on the technique Clara learned was to activate the seven chakras present on the body.

Each chakra serves as an additional container where it is added. It seems like this technique was created specifically for magic knights. When Clara put forward her conjecture the answer from Raph was,

"less precise. This technique was long lost on the continent and was originally used by priests and monks. His name is yoga. There are eight stages in yoga. But I absorbed the core and turned it into a simpler technique."

"Oho."

Clara becomes increasingly curious about Raph's identity ....

Just sec.

"Ya~ recently. What did Raph say on this continent? Not world?"

"OKAY. Let's continue-"

"Hey. Answer!"

"Eh. It was just typo."

"Don't lie!"

Raph was reluctant to answer. Clara could only endure her curiosity. The world still holds many mysteries.

For the next few weeks Clara actively practiced until finally reaching the basic level.
