Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 10 Training With Mana

While entering the knight's training ground Zick was thinking of the beggar who had been eating the felix root in the novel.

The beggar had turned into a lowest rank knight with no complications at all unlike him.

In other words, The beggar had more potential than Zick.

When he thought of this, he didn't even know what he should be feeling.

'I can only train harder and use all the opportunities that will appear in the future to grow stronger'

Heading towards where Garrick was, Zick felt his body lighter than before as his strength has increased.

He had already expected the reaction of the knights when they would see his mana nerves.

Looking at the knights from the corner of his eyes, Zick could feel the mana around them. But it was hard to guess what rank they were in as it was his first time experiencing feeling the mana around them.

Reaching in front of Garrick, he still had a smile on his face.

"I want to learn how to use mana"

He spoke straightforwardly without hiding that he had become a lowest rank knight at all.

'It doesn't matter anyway....'

Garrick was a high rank knight so he should be able to sense Zick's rank with a single glance.

And there was another benefit by not hiding his strength: The Zick in the novel had been killed by the melvix family without a doubt. The reason they killed him must be for not having any talent so right now he could only try showing his talent to decrease one of the dangers which could potentially kill him in the future.

Zick had already calculated all the pros and cons of showing his strength a very long time ago.

Even Garrick had a solemn look on his face, with wrinkles forming on his face he asked.

"Young master Zick, this....'

" What? I just want to train on how to use mana, can't you teach me?? "

Zick said with a dissatisfied tone and cold eyes which didn't match the smile on his face at all.

"No....we can start training on it right away"

Garrick answered with a respectful tone just like always. When he thought of it rationally, he didn't have any right to ask an heir of Melvix how he had become a lowest rank knight, even if he is garbage with almost no support.

If he had not stopped himself in the middle, it could have led to his death.

Just asking that question is disrespectful in itself.

But Garrick wasn't the only one who wanted to know how Zick had been able to become a lowest rank knight. All the knights were also concentrating upon their conversation but they all sighed when Garrick didn't ask the question.

There were at least 500 knights in the training grounds right at the moment so it wouldn't be long before everyone knew that Zick had become a lowest rank knight.

Garrick led Zick to an empty place where he could train easily.

Garrick started giving instructions on how to train in his mana.

For now, Zick had to practise using mana on the sword as there were chances of failing when trying to use mana upon the body directly.

It could lead to a lot of internal injuries not mention about Zick, whose body was already a garbage through and through 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Applying mana on the sword is a very simple process, where he just has to make the mana flow into the sword naturally from his mana nerves.

Only after making your mana flow into the sword can he start training on how to maintain it and Strengthen it accordingly.

Zick's sword shined with a light blue colour as he tried sending mana into it. But the light kept shaking, showing that it was not stable.

Closing his eyes, he concentrated upon the mana and made it stable.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the fluctuating light blue colour covering his sword.

"congratulations young master, you are able to strengthen your sword with mana now"

Garrick said with a smile but internally he was a little surprised.

Applying mana to the sword needs a strong 'will' to control the mana so he was surprised that Zick did it so fast when he was still an 8 year old boy.

His will was actually stronger than even an adult as he was already 25 year old before dying and had gone through a lot of misfortune.

Applying mana to the sword had a lot of benefits.

The sword's defence increases and even its destructive force increases along with it.

But The main benefit is that the mana in the sword would enter the enemies body when you wound them in the body.

This will make their wound hard to heal and even lead to permanent injuries.

It can be easily overcome if the mana in the enemy body is in a higher rank than his.

Or else the only method to remove the mana is to use a high rank potion. But that doesn't apply to a master swordsman.

They use aura which is a higher form of power than mana which is a basic form of power.

"phew...."

After being able to apply mana on his sword, Zick breathed out loudly. He could feel that with the amount of mana that he has he could only keep this up for 3 minutes.

"Use your sword to attack me, with this it would let you get use to your new strength faster"

Garrick had taken out the sword from his sheath and was catching it in a defensive position.

Not hesitating, Zick swung his sword vertically towards Garrick with sharp eyes.

But the moment, Garrick and Zick's sword came in contact-

DRIP-DRIP

Zick's palm started bleeding heavily as the skin of his palm tore apart, not being able to take the force of his sword's clash with another sword.

Both Zick himself and Garrick had forgotten that he was still an 8 year old kid.

"pshhhh...."

Feeling the burning pain in his hand, Zick breathed in with a clenched jaw.

Running toward him, Garrick had a frightened look on his face.

A similar incident had happened with the second heir of the Melvix family. In which the second heir had gotten a cut in his face mistakenly done by his sword instructor.

But the second heir had sentenced the sword instructor to death by saying-

["you have done a disrespectful act by not being careful enough with your sword"]

Then the sword instructor was beheaded in front of all the knights, it has been 7 years since that incident but Garrick remembers it like the back of his hand.

At that time he was just a normal knight and not a sword instructor.

Taking out a healing potion from his space ring, he tried pouring it at the wound in Zick palm.

But was suddenly stopped by Zick.

"Don't use a potion....just bandage it up"

Hearing this, a dazed look appeared in Garrick's face as he blankly looked at Zick.

"Start bandaging my wound already"

The smile on Zick's face had appeared back in a few seconds after bearing the pain in his hand.

Snapping out of it, Garrick hurriedly started bandaging Zick's palm.

'I will have to grow used to the pain...'

Zick would have to go through pain that would be hundreds of times worse than just his palm bleeding so he wanted to grow used to it as fast as possible.

After a minute, his palm was totally covered in bandages.

Looking at it, he nodded his head. The pain had not disappeared at all. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

"That would be it for today's sword training you can go back to your work"

Saying this, Zick started running to see how much his stamina had increased after becoming a lowest rank knight.

Looking at Zick running, Garrick didn't know what he was thinking at all but in the end he just sighed in relief and went to his work.

Zick could run for almost 20 minutes now that his strength and vitality has increased.

Knights are known for their tenacious life force in the battlefield and how they are hard to kill in the first place.

Even as a lowest rank knight, Zick's vitality had increased by quite a bit.

Heading back to the estate, there was one last thing he had to do for today.

'I will have to order Von to gather all the material....'
