Chapter 57：How mana works? (1/2)

One other girl was very happy and excited at the sight of Kiko. It was Kesha, Almina's friend.

Kiko went to his group of friends without causing trouble for him. No matter the reason, Yman was still wary of Kiko.

A person might change but not in a day or two. Maybe he was plotting something while in the hospital? Yman was not sure. But one thing he believes, those rages from yesterday might alleviate as time went by but would never pop like a bubble.

On the contrary, Yman had to remain. Almina went back sitting on the ground while fuming deep inside. She could not believe it, that Kiko was also late, but the elder just let him go because he had just recovered. While Yman with the same reason 'of just recovered' from being fainted awhile ago had to remain and go on the stage. She thought that the elder was too biased.

Contrary to Almina's expectation though. Yman had become the elder's demonstration assistant.

'Sigh. I thought the elder would reprimand him. But it looks like he just wanted his help.' Almina sighed in relief.

Yman went on stage and stood a little behind the elder, waiting for what the elder wanted him to do.

Not only Almina that sighed in relief. Bob, Keremi, and also Chloe did too. And also Yman himself.

Seeing their mortal hateful person on stage, the other trainees, mostly those trainees who already had a bad impression towards him, had their faces twisted in sour expressions. He was like a stain in a perfect portrait from their eyes.

*Flip!* The elder flipped a page of the book and said, ”Okay, let's proceed to our lectures. Since we only have little more time left. Let's directly go into the topic.” After he said this, he glanced at the person standing behind at his left side like a stone statue.

”Ahem. Mr....? Ah, sorry what is your name again??—” the elder asked as he glanced at Yman.

”Yman Tal —”

”Ah, Mr. Coolman. Right, Mr. Coolman, under the table there is something in there. Take it and bring it here. So that all our friends here can see the demonstration.”

Yman wondered if the elder did it on purpose about calling him with that name. However, he could not disagree. And should not make the elder angry! This elder was a level 25 magicians! One flick of his finger will put a stop on his age!

He was just wondering why his name had always been replaced by other names. Even a deity from someone he knew did too. He could only force a dry laugh to his name's fate.

”Yes. Elder.” He nodded obediently and followed what the elder instructed him like a puppy.

Yman peeked under the table while the elder continued his lecture to the trainees. He saw a box under and some training gadgets.

”Oh, I forgot to say, just leave the box there and take the things inside it!” The elder suddenly notified. Yman sighed in relief when the elder mentioned it. He really was puzzled about which one should he take.

When he opened the box, he saw a bulb as big as a ball of basketball. Together with a 12 VOLT 40 AH battery. Yman wondered what the elder planned to do with this old model battery.

Anyhow, he must do what the elder instructed him. He took the bulb together with the old model battery and let the now empty box under the table.

The battery was slightly heavy but as a magician who trained his body every day and with a 1% breakthrough to his limiter, this weight was nothing to him. Just like lifting a fist-size stone.

The other trainee was as puzzled as him when they noticed the things he was carrying. They knitted their brows and whispered to the person beside them.

Almina for some reason felt so proud of him. Even though what he did was just simple things only. She was sending a warm smile at him without him knowing.

He placed down the battery. Next, he was placing the bulb on a single pedestal stool where a bulb socket could be seen on top facing the sky. After tightening the bulb on its socket, he then dragged it in the middle of the stage so that everyone was able to see.

Yman extended the wire towards the battery and waited for the elder's next instruction. The elder nodded his head, seemingly glad at his help.

”I know most of you still have no idea how mana works inside our body. Now, look at this...” said the elder as he pointed on the bulb.

All the trainee's eyes were focused on the bulb. They were wondering how this bulb represents magician's mana. They originally thought that the elder would test them again using the bulb to light it through mana like the first-day test. But it looks like it was different from that time.

”To further increase your understanding of mana. Let me show you the simplest... and easiest to understand demonstration.” Said the elder in normal volume as he walked beside the bulb.
