TBATE - Never Ending

// Virion Leywin //

"Hahh." I heaved.

Forming - or rather - speeding up the process of a Mana Core is quite the difficult task. Arthur made it seem quite easy honestly but it's anything but easy. The amount of concentration is no joke and my butt is aching from sitting in a lotus position all the time.

I might have started a little late but the Mana Core was already decently seized when I realized. So that's a bonus. At this rate though, it doesn't really feel like that it's going to take ten or more years for it to fully form. Am I actually naturally talented in this regard?

Makes me wonder which elements I will have an affinity with.

This is exciting.

Indeed.

If not for the war that will be approaching which will be in - I'm two years old now soo - in 12 years I think. (?) But look at the bright side, Virion, at least your not an Elf.

It's not like I'm racist or anything but if you are not Virion, you are basically done for. It's like the author made them to suffer. Which is kinda funny since I am also Virion. Is this a sign?

I guess.

Or it's a sign that I'll be walking a lonely path like that of the orginal Virion where everyone around him falls but he is still left, fighting.

"Ugh." a shiver ran through my spine. "Let's just focus for now." I nervously encourage myself.

First on the agenda.

Forming a second Core.

I will just dub it, Mana Heart. It sounds redundant if I leave it as is. The idea comes from the one and only, Sung.

Truly an inspiration even in another world. Sung's influence is unmatched.

Your GOAT could never do this. Hmph.

But anyway, the general just of things is to construct it in or around my heart. I don't know honestly. I assume it is a physical construct sooo... small enough to fit in it. (?)

The Mana being naturally drawn to my abdomen would be a problem - or so I thought. The "little lights" I gathered didn't break down and gravitate toward my Mana Core like I theorized. It was rather obedient but quite hard to maneuver toward the center of my heart.

It worries me though that I might also be wrong about it developing a second set of Mana Veins and Channels.

So lets refrain from theorizing futher in fear of getting my hopes up.

...

Agh.

I can't help it though. Like if I were to successfully awaken with two cores, would I be able to augment and conjure at the same time? And on top of that, with Mana Rotation, I can possibly keep myself augmented throughout the day.

It might require intensive multi-tasking skills to perform as I can't automate these kinds of processes but if done rigorously it can become just as natural as breathing.

It will be easier since I essentially have two muscles for two different tasks instead of one muscle for two different tasks.

Hmmm.

It feels as though I'm bioengineering on myself but without the actual physical engineering but instead with something more exciting known as Mana.

And another idea would be to go through the process of Integration but instead of doin it with a Beats Will, I do it with an element. And just maybe I could gain the properties of that specific element that would cocorrelate to a practical use.

For example, the fire element. I would probably gain fire resistance. Or perhaps explosive movements even.

This is actually plausible because of the fact that literal lizards with fire on their skin are walking around.

________

A/N:

I can't remember when or where but I think someone said you can determine someone's affinity by the way they move. That's what this theory is based around.

________

That's the theory at least. I based this entire process on multiple facts implying that mana has influence on genes. Another example, would be healing someone. It is either the act of energizing the cells so that they could duplicate more rapidly or regenerating the cells with Mana, in other words, making new cells out of Mana.

I don't know though.

There is also the problem of gaining actual fighting experience. For now, focusing on variety rather than specializing would be the better option.

So, I hope that I am at least a dual-elemental with affinities for water and earth or either wind. That's all I ask for, author. And maybe even sneak in a Deviant.

Please.

I need this, I cried.

But if my luck doesn't wish so then I could kiss my aspirations goodbye honestly. I'm not really worried though since I have two cores.

Maybe I should focus on hand-to-hand. I at least have experience in that due the envious actions of ignorant children. And this is Reynold's specialty so I already have a teacher.

And there's another problem. And I curse this wretched world for doing this to me.

The age gap, in other words my love life is ruined. I mean like Cearra is... you know... and there no way I stand a chance with the age difference, physically of course. But the Ice Princess is also kinda my type, I suppose.

Aghh.

I could've at least be Arthur's twin! I sighed. How I wish I was an Elve about now.

No.

This no time to have suicidal thoughts Virion. You must focus on the objective and that is... Cear - Aggh.

What the hell is wrong with me!? Am I going through puberty already?

It's going to prove difficult to meditate in my state. Maybe I should just sleep.

Yeah.

Sleep.

I can't sleep either.

.....

Maybe I'll be Diviner like Rinia.

It'll be cool to have a unique element. Although, depending on the element, it might just be useless in a combat situation and I'll die.
