《I Will Be Recognized》27. Consecutive Breakthrough
Advertisement
It was currently midnight and most students should be asleep at this time but there were a couple night owls who refused to sleep.
In the darkness of the night, one could make out the rough outline of a student sitting on the ground. Daniel was sitting in a lotus position right outside the dorms on the grassy magic training field. The reason being so was not that he was sick of sleeping with guys...
'Damn does this world not have deodorant or something? F*cking Robert bombed the place. Not even the windows could bring in enough fresh air. Why are guys so biologically smelly?'
...
I was trying to train my magic at night when Robert's odor combined with his atomic bomb struck. Just what the h*ll did he eat? Taco Bells? I threw away that thought and focused on my training.
The darkness that comes with the night was prime time for me to train my Darkness manifestation.
Something the professor did not explain was the environment. By training in more open areas with nature, more magic particles are available for the body to absorb. I would normally just train in my room with the windows open, but with Robert...
Anyway, by training at an area of a similar affinity, like if I were to train my Fire manifestation in a volcano, my growth would be amplified drastically. The reason being was yet again magic particles. Over time, the magic particles exposed to such environments would adapt and become more beneficial to beings with a similar affinity.
It was also because of this very reason that those who had an earth affinity would cultivate a lot faster.
At the initial stages of magic cultivation, all you had to do to breakthrough was to increase mana capacity or expose the body to mana for a while. Learning to control mana helped the body to familiarize itself with the existence known as mana. Once the body is comfortable with mana, this is the stage of a Beginner Mage Apprentice. Wizards classified this stage like that because it was only when the body was familiar with mana that you could cast spells.

From this point onward, I would have to train my magic manifestation in order to breakthrough.
The main way to breakthrough was to refine the quality of mana. This could be done with many methods but the one I'm doing is practicing manifestation fluency. By practicing magic manifestation, the mana in our body will gradually get used to turning into magic which forces it to condense itself into a purer form so it converts to magic better.
For people without an affinity, they would have to refine their mana by getting better at controlling it which allows them to manually remove impurities and condense it.
Getting back to the topic, I had an inspiring thought a while ago. I wanted to try manifesting Fire on one hand and Darkness on the other hand. Since you could breakthrough by either getting better at controlling mana, or by practicing magic manifestation, why not do both at the same time by multitasking? In a way, this was similar to Multi Cast but it wasn't. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to try.
I took a few breaths in and started with Darkness on my right hand.
Within a second, a floating mass of nothingness appeared above my right hand.
Closing my eyes, I focused some of my attention onto my left hand as well and imagined the mana flowing to both hands but one side turned into a bright fire while the other turned into a space devoid of light.
After an unpredictable amount of time had passed, I felt a slight warmness in my left hand which made me open my eyes.
Right there, above my palm was a bright fire in the air. With the stark contrast found between the cold dark night and the warm incandescence of the flame; its beauty was incomparable to anything I had seen before. To think the first thing I would fall in love with was not a nude woman but a dancing fire...

Most of my focus was still on controlling the mana to go to both hands in sync so I did not have the luxury to admire it any further. I lightly glanced over at my right hand and sure enough, the ball of void was still there.
I closed my eyes and put all my attention toward imagining the orb of darkness and fire.
—3 hours later—
After an amount of time had passed, I heard a rude dinging noise.

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
