The hand of the speedoht 15 18 20

When the hand of the speedometer reached 20, it slowed down, as if indecisive Each little twitch of the needle seemed to take forever

Each twitch caused a neave of pain to rack Kiel’s body His every cell burned, yet stubbornly he refused to yield I can still… go on!

He clenched his fists and grit his teeth, staring sharply inside the crystallizer, focusing all his attention on transferring his mana into the crystallizer as fast as possible

The sharp pain lass seemed to take forever to slid down the bottleneck

In practice, the e didn’t depend on the amount and size of the soul tendrils, but instead, was a combination of mana resistance and tolerance of the body

Kiel’s mind and heart raced His blood boiled as he re elixirs and pills his brother had been given by the Rroda fa into his palms as he remembered how his brother had been allowed to use theroom inside the Rroda mainhouse whenever he wished, while Kiel was denied entry

Kiel focused once again at the crystallizer in front of him Now that he had reached 25 points in Mana Flow Speed test, the speedometer won’t drop down even if his mana flow speed lowered All he had to do noas to ace the second part of the test, which tested Mana Pool size and Mana Regeneration
