Nora's use of magic just for my entertainment wasn't so bad, I mean I could get used to it then again it will eventually get boring.
Seeing wasn't going to be enough, if I want to create a mana core I need to know the basics of magic. But what can a one-year-old do, although I had started to say little words like calling Nora ' Nana' and for some reason it made her cry?. Reading was out of my option as it would make an uproar in the household.
I started thinking, from the stories Nora told me, it looks like magic was common which was a good sign because if magic is common it means everyone started from somewhere.
Searching through my memories was the only solution as my mind raced back and forth through the movies, mangas, and anime I had read and watched until I found one thing they all had in common.
Breathing Technique: A technique used to strengthen one's mind and the soul, making one's connection to the spirit world stronger.
" Well, I have nothing to lose. Let's give it a try."
I started with easy breathing whenever I got the chance which was mostly at night when Nora was asleep. I sat up straight, so my head and neck were in line with my spine, and my legs formed a 90-degree angle with my knees on the bed. I breathed in and out following the rhythm of the words slow and steady which kept on playing continuously in my head.
Holding my breath for some seconds to feel the energy around me as it settles down, I immediately felt a cool sensation as it made its way into my body, it was the same feeling I felt when Nora healed me, which reassured me I was making progress.
My senses became sharper as I felt the presence of little sparking light scattered all over the place, it felt peaceful and gave off a cooling sensation ' like I was under the night sky. I assumed the sparking light was what we call mana. My eyes still shut tight. I felt another sensation, this was different, it was like I was being sucked out of my body as my surroundings became darker by the breath I took in.
Refusing to lose my focus, I continued with my breathing techniques as every breath I took in felt refreshing, the sparkling lights that looked like stars under the sky began flowing in a circular pattern around me and I felt a warm sensation all over my body almost like something was being created within me.
I could feel it, the sensation made my senses sharper, my body felt lighter, even if I could not see the system my instincts told me I had unlocked a new skill. The sparkling lights began to follow harmoniously into my chest area as I could feel it form what one could call a black peddle absorbing the lights.
"Uhm…... Young master, what are you doing?" Nora's voice broke my concentration as I diverted back to reality, seeing Nora who was sitting upright, she appeared to be half awake.
"What's wrong?." she panicked probably because I was covered in my own sweat, she picked me up with her hands and her eyes moved swiftly around my body checking for injuries that were not there. "Thank the Gods, you are alright." relieved she laid me back on the bed beside her as I could feel her cuddle me back to sleep.
" yes, yes, yes." my inside screamed in joy mainly for two reasons. one; I could now feel mana around me thanks to my amateur mana core, two; Nora's boobs were right on top of my head, I could feel the softness as my body lingered off slowly to sleep.
