Chapter 194: Unexpected Arrivals
[Starlight Academy - Class: 1S]
[Training Ground - Early morning]
"Harper, your mana flow is too rigid. You need to feel as if you are shaping water with your thoughts. Imagine yourself as a container, and the mana as water inside that container and let it flow naturally."
"Aman, your control is decent for now. Since you are a mage, your focus should be more on controlling the mana outside your body rather than inside. Switch your focus accordingly and adjust your technique."
"Gerry, why does your mana keep scattering? Your thoughts are all over the place. Remove those unnecessary distractions from your mind. Focus entirely on the mana, nothing else. Try to enter the Focus State. One penalty point for letting your mind wander during class."
Elva continued to observe the students spread across the training ground, her eyes calm yet focused, occasionally stepping in to offer pointers or suggestions on where they could improve.
She was not interfering too much, since the path to becoming strong was something that each person needed to walk on their own, using their effort and hard work.
Aside from teaching, advising, and correcting their techniques, there was very little else she could offer.
Well, perhaps there was one more thing she could offer—her silent wishes and unwavering hope for her students’ growth.
The training ground was spacious, about half the size of a football stadium. Out of the 49 students in the class, 49...no... only 42 were currently seated in a lotus position, practicing their breathing techniques according to their respective class types and the nature of their core.
Some students were focused on refining their mana manipulation, while others concentrated on internalizing their breathing rhythms.
And in the past few months, ever since the demon invasion incident shook the academy to its core, the collective determination among the students had skyrocketed, pushing them beyond their usual limits.
