'Now, try sending your mana again.'
'L... like this?'
'A bit more in line with the structure...'
Following Ellen's instructions, Airi cautiously let her mana flow.
Ellen watched from the side, continuing to offer advice.
It had been exactly one day since Airi's new employment contract was signed. To learn how to open the dungeon storehouse door, Airi took a short-term intensive course in Black Magic from Ellen.
This was because Airi's skills were at too basic a level to be put to work immediately.
It was only natural, as she wasn't originally an aspiring mage studying magic, but rather at a level where she was just practicing basic spells while reading through magic books.
However, what was needed now wasn't a high-level mage, and it was much better to teach Airi than to head out immediately to find a Black Mage.
Ellen calmly taught Airi the basics of magic.
'There we go. Just do it like you did just now. Now, one more time.'
'Ye, yes...'
