Chapter 38: An Idea That Simplifies Forming Constellations!
"As a 1 star Mage you can use magic power reinforcement to enhance any part of your body, but reinforcement is one of the lesser abilities of a Mage. To be honest, it can’t even be called a special ability and is only useful against weaker Mages or non-Mages. That is why you have to have special training in all kinds of martial arts, these exist to help you use your strength more efficiently.
In fact, it is actually possible for a non-Mage with training in martial arts to defeat a 1 star Mage. In front of a person with training even if you are a Mage, you will only just be another slightly stronger human. As long as he uses some good technique he can put you down easily. So you have to train in fighting styles and martial arts, this also applies up the ladder for higher levels."
Drake nearly applauded when the teacher said this, he agreed very much with this. isn’t this the reason he has been able to take down Mages as a non-Mage. Every time he went up against Mages they never got the chance to land a good blow on him, why?
Because of how many fighting styles he had mastered while training with Queen. ’So what if you’re stronger than me? If you can’t even hit me then you can forget about defeating me. But with my training in different techniques I can slowly wear you down and take you out.’ This is the power of technique over power.
"After the Mage breaks through to 2 star stage, they now have to purify and accumulate more and more energy at this stage the energy cannot simply be stored in the energy nodes and the flesh, now it is being stored inside the bones.
At the 2 star Mage level, the Mage can project magic energy a few centimeters above their skin to form the Mage’s Energy armor. This Magic armor can defend the Mage from harm from sword or spear, and even from the elements and other harmful conditions.
When the energy is purified and accumulated in the bones and condensed to the limit it forms liquid magic essence.
Once the first droplet of liquid magic essence is formed the Mage is deemed to have broken through to 3 star Mage. Only with this concentration of energy will a Mage be able to cast spells with their magic power and attack with long distance attacks.’
When you breakthrough to 4 star Mage all the liquid magic essence accumulated within your bones will be sent to the heart where the energy is purified even more and compressed then it is merged into the heart to produce blood essence. This blood essence is pure energy that one develops at 4 star stage with blood essence you will be able to control magic energy not just from inside your body but also from all around you in your environment."
When Drake heard this part he was shocked. This immediately gave him some ideas that he thought would be useful.
Drake paid close attention to everything the teacher was saying, and he took notes every once in a while. The teacher also noticed that Drake was actually paying attention so he was even more enthusiastic with his lecture. It was as if he was the only one in class.
