Magic Academy's Genius Blinker

While superstitions were prevalent on Earth, most of them remained mere beliefs due to my absence.

However, the superstitions in the Aether World were different.

Though their magical principles couldn't be scientifically proven, many of them showcased tangible effects thanks to the existence of mana.

Hae Tae-Ryung took it upon himself to thoroughly study and compile those mystical arts into a book.

He discovered that all of nature was infused with vital energy known as "Jeonggi" (正 氣), which could be categorized into Yin (陰) and Yang (陽).

These opposing forces harmoniously cycled, giving rise to the infinite energy called "mana."

*{TN:- "Jeonggi" (正 氣) is a term in Korean that translates to "vital energy" or "positive energy." It is a concept rooted in traditional Korean, Chinese, and East Asian philosophies and is similar to the Chinese term "Qi" (氣) or "Chi." Jeonggi is believed to be the fundamental life force that permeates all living things and the natural world.

In traditional Eastern medicine, martial arts, and other practices, cultivating and balancing one's Jeonggi or Qi is considered essential for maintaining health, promoting well-being, and achieving physical and mental harmony.

It is often associated with the concept of Yin and Yang, and the balance of these forces is believed to be crucial for optimal health and vitality.}*

**[Mages harnessed mana in their breaths, but they deviated from the laws of nature. They centered the process around their hearts, possibly due to having smaller containers within themselves.

However, true mana circulation should revolve solely around nature as its center.
