Magic System in a Parallel World

Chapter 43: Increase Mana Capacity

Chapter 43: Increase Mana Capacity

Leo went to harvest the mana cores after killing the group of monsters with multicasting.

As he collected the mana cores, Miss Camille spoke, “There are two things that you must be wary of when training with magic. Magic control and casting speed.”

“Magic control is basically your accuracy with magic spells. If you have poor magic control, you won’t be able to use magic spells that require a good accuracy, such as Black Bullet and Void Spear.”

“Casting speed is self explanatory. In a match between two magic casters, the one who can cast faster will be at a massive advantage. Most people consider this to be the most important aspect as a magician and it is often used to compare the difference between two magicians.”

Leo nodded and said, “I am pretty confident with my magic control if I don’t use multicasting. As for my casting speed… What do you think, Miss Camille?”

“…Let’s just say that you would defeat most magicians when it comes to casting speed,” she said in a stiff tone.

“That’s good enough for me.” He smiled.

They continued to hunt monsters shortly after.

At the end of the day, Leo barely managed to finish his quest after staying in the Wilderness with Miss Camille until it was near midnight.

“I finished the quest, Miss Camille.”

“Alright. Let’s return to my house for now,” she said.

“Okay.”

After returning to the city, Miss Camille drove them back to her own house.

“Let’s go to the training room.” Miss Camille said to him as they entered the building.

They walked down to the training room in the basement, Leo could hear some loud banging noises as they approached the door.

“Is there someone else in there?” He asked.

“Sophie usually trains at this time,” she said.

“She trains during midnight? How diligent.”

Upon entering the training room, Leo could see Sophie fighting with an advanced training puppet while wielding two daggers in her hands.

“Wow…” He subconsciously mumbled after seeing Sophie’s beautiful and elegant movements that looked like she was dancing around the puppet.

Not wanting to disturb her training, Leo and Miss Camille stood by the door and silently waited for her to finish.

Ten minutes later, Sophie deactivated the dummy and wiped the sweat on her face with a towel.

It was at this moment that she noticed their presence.

“Welcome back Lady Camille. Do you want something to eat?” She asked as she approached them.

“No, I’m fine. You can rest— Oh, before you do that, can you quickly organize our guest room? He’ll be staying here tonight since it’s already too late to go to a hotel.”

“I understand…” Sophie glanced at Leo with an annoyed gaze before leaving the training room.

Once they were alone, Miss Camille handed Leo a device that measured his mana capacity.

“Let me see how much mana you have now.”

Leo nodded and placed his hand on this device, which started absorbing all of his mana.

A few moments later, Miss Camille read the results, “A little over 2,000 mana capacity, huh? When are you going to use the Magic System to increase your mana?”

“I can do it now.” Leo said.

He proceeded to open up the Magic Shop to make a purchase.

Miss Camille watched as Leo stared at the empty air in front of him.

‘It’s truly bizarre. One would think that he’s just staring blankly into space, but in reality, he’s actually communicating with a god-sent entity that grants him unfathomable power…’

<You have purchased ‘Increase Mana Capacity’ from the Magic Shop for 50 Magic Points>

<Your Mana Capacity has increased by 9,000!>

[Mana: 10/11,020]

Leo’s eyes widened with shock when he saw how much mana he’d acquired from the purchase.

‘I was only expecting around 5,000, but I actually got 9,000! I have over 10,000 mana now!’

“What’s the result?” Miss Camille asked him afterward.

“My mana capacity has increased by 9,000… I have 11,000 mana now…” He said in a dazed voice.

“What?!” Miss Camille shouted out loud in a state of shock, not daring to believe her ears.

‘His mana increased by 9,000 almost instantaneously?! How is that possible?! Is the Magic System really this powerful?!’

“H-How are you feeling? Do you feel sick at all? Since you’d suddenly acquired such a large amount of mana, it would be natural for you to feel sick.” She asked him after snapping out of her daze.

“No, I feel completely fine.” He shook his head.

“Here, drink this mana potion.”

Leo accepted the mana potion and chucked it down.

Once his mana fully recovered, Miss Camille measured his mana capacity again.

When she saw the result, her eyes widened with shock. Even though Leo had already told her the results, she couldn’t help but still feel shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.

“C-Can you increase your mana again through the Magic System?” She asked him a moment later.

“Yes, but the price of it has increased to 3,000 Magic Points. It becomes more expensive every time I use it. At this rate, it will take me at least another month or two to buy the next tier.” He shrugged.

“Either way, that is still very good.”

He nodded, “Now I have enough to resurrect Nina’s mother.”

Miss Camille then said, “Yes, but let’s wait a little before we tell her. I want to make sure that we’re prepared to deal with the undead.”

“Undead?” Leo raised an eyebrow.

“As talented as you are with dark magic, you won’t be able to fully resurrect her mother. It’s literally impossible, especially since it’s been many years since her mother died, which makes things a lot more complicated and difficult. Furthermore, that Nina… I don’t even know if she knows what she’s doing.”

“So what happens if I cannot fully resurrect her mother? Does she become a zombie or something like that?” He asked.

“She will become a soulless being that will only act upon its bloodlust. When that happens, we will need to destroy her completely.”

“Can something that cannot even think or have a soul have bloodlust? That doesn’t make sense.”

“When a soulless body has too much mana in their body, they will become like monsters, acting only upon their instincts.”

“I see… Hopefully she won’t do anything crazy if nothing goes her way…” Leo sighed out loud.

“Anyways, before we retire for the day, do you have any new quests?” Miss Camille asked him a moment later.

“Actually, yes, I do. One of the quests requires me to learn a Tier 3 magic spell, and the other one requires me to reach Mastery Rank ‘C’ with two magic spells. My Black Bullet is already Mastery Rank C, and my Void Spear is Rank D.”

“Alright. We’ll work on your quests tomorrow.”

Miss Camille left Leo to the guest room where he’ll be staying the night shortly after.

“Do you know where the bathroom is?”

“Yes, I do.” He nodded.

“Then I will leave you alone. Breakfast will be served at 9. We will cook for you, but we won’t wait for you. Training will begin at 10.”

Miss Camille left after giving him the schedule for tomorrow.

Once she left, Leo went to the bathroom to wash his body that was stained with monster blood and dirt.

After shower, he went to his room and proceeded to scatter the mana cores that he’d gathered today on the bed, treating it as though it were some sort of ritual that brought him good fortune.

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

The following morning, Leo went to the dining room after his morning routine.

“Good morning, you two.” He said to them as he took a seat before the table that already had their breakfast served.

After breakfast, Leo went to the basement with Miss Camille for another day of training.
