'How many times has it been already?' I questioned as I looked at Ameliana as she taught me everything she knew about dark magic.
I had repeated the same sentence over and over, many times so much that I could easily predict how many seconds it would be before a sentence would be spoken.
After showing my affinity to all elements, it wasn't hard to convince the Goddesses. Though to my surprise, Alepsia decided to teach me a bit more about Light Magic as well. Her knowledge allowed me to broaden my horizon about light magic too.
Though there was something that made me feel guilty about…
"And this is how you create a dark sword," Ameliana spoke as she showed me a sword made up of dark mana. Her eyes glistened before she spoke," Maybe because you have less magic in comparison, but don't worry, as you will grow, your mana concentration should also increase. Then you will be able to perform this as well."
I smiled as I nodded at her. How many times has it been that she has taught me the same thing? How many times has it been that she has said the same thing?
Those eyes that don't seem to doubt anything. Or perhaps she does not doubt me, but her belief in her own principles is much more? Should I really be taking advantage of her so much…
'Well… let's, at the very least, take care of her and try to give her a proper life,' I vowed in my heart. Not only her, but also her.
My eyes turned to Alepsia, the other person in this world that has helped me the most. Counting all the events that have happened in all my times and restarts, they are the only two people that have helped me so much.
'It would be unfair to not return the favor,' I smiled before pondering about something.
"Alepsia. Do you know what it means to have a mana mastery?" I wondered if she would know anything about it.
By the definition of the System, it is meant to increase the power of your attack or heal. It could also enhance your defense too. Though the question of how to actually do that? That was a totally different thing.
"Mana mastery?" Alepsia questioned as she looked at me, while Ameliana also paused before she looked at me with a focused expression.
"You mean the ability that strengthens all your spells by increasing the foundations of magic?" she asked as she looked at me and I nodded at her. From her words, it seemed they were the same thing.
"If you want to learn it… it's going to be a bit difficult," Alepsia sighed as she began explaining,
"Well, for starters, you need the ability to see through mana itself. Then your control should be high enough to fasten the process with more mana than usual, while making sure you don't waste mana in spells. It's like increasing the efficiency, speed, etc. of the spell at once."
She explained it in simple words and I understood the basic concept of it.
"All right. Thank you for all that you… and Ameliana, you too, have done for me." I stood up and bowed to both of them before opening the System for one more time. It's because of them that I have reached up until this point. I will surely repay the favor.
"What do you-"

Waking up in the same room, filled with the fragrance of the scented candle, I woke up. I yawned before stretching and then getting off the bed. My eyes looked at the empty space in the middle of the room.
"Since the essence of the spell is all the same," I smiled as I used one of my skills
[Eyes of Mana!]
Light magic was present in front of me, as I began using the skill [Light]. While the principle behind it was quite simple, I decided to make it complicated for the sake of learning.
The first is to increase the number of steps.
Then is to increase the power of each step.
Apply more and more mana into it.
And when it becomes out of control, then try to make it efficient.
Once it gets efficient with minimum wastage of mana.
Increase the speed of the chanting.
-BOOM!!
And obviously it resulted in an accident, creating a mana shockwave that caused a bit of damage to me.
"Well, that was a good start," I smiled as I at least understood that I could learn [Mana Mastery] starting with this one.
And thus began another never ending training session of 2 and a half-hour intervals before I restarted it again. Trying it again, over and over, until I felt like I could achieve something.
Time passed as usual, as I reached more and more closer to the point where I could increase the mana amount of each step to the maximum. A point where I exhausted all my mana for a single [Light] spell.
And once it was done, it was to make it efficient… that all of my mana, including the last drop, was used on that spell itself. I couldn't reach 100% efficiency, as I somehow hit the wall at 90%. No matter what I tried, I couldn't reduce wasting mana anymore, so I stopped there after a 100 more tries.
And finally, was increasing the speed of the spell to the maximum while keeping the other part intact. The idea was to make the time of [Light] reach the normal speed of an average [Light] without the increased steps.
Took me much more time, honestly. At many times I even wanted to give up seeing no success, but my greed for a better time made me do it once again.
And once I reached a point where the speed was equal…
