The first class at the academy was supposed to start today. However, the principal decided to close the academy for a week for no reason. In the morning, a postman rode a magic broom and sent a letter to everyone's house. The letter mentioned that the academy would be closed for a week. Like everyone else, Alex also received the letter. Alex was very excited for today's class. Because he could learn a lot about magic there. However, he was upset. Seeing his condition, Maria went to him.
-->>Although I don't know much about Mana energy, I can still give you a general idea of how the energy works. (Maria)
Maria never tried to teach Alex about magic. Alex never wanted to learn either, out of shyness. But Maria realized that her son was very interested in magic when she saw his upset mood.
-->>All those who can use energy, first of all, have to feel their own energy. To feel the energy, you have to close your eyes and keep all your focus in your body. Then you will see a bright light emerging in the darkness. This light is your body's Mana energy. (Maria)
-->>Why doesn't energy reside within the body?
-->>Yes, that's right. But all that energy is not in the Mana Core. The energy that you can see in the bright light after closing your eyes is actually stored in the Core. Only after storing this energy can one use a spell. (Maria)
-->>Well, Mom, do you need to recite the spells with your mouth to use them? I've seen you recite spells, and I've seen a teacher at the academy do it too. (Alex)
-->>Spells are very complicated. To use all spells, you have to cast a spell. This is the simplest rule for using spells. However, each spell requires a certain amount of time. This is why Mages are in danger during fights. However, the time for each spell can be reduced, this requires practice and skill. (Maria)
-->>Can't magic spells be used without reading the spell? (Alex)
-->>Yes, but only high level Mages can do that. When you reach a high level, you have a lot more knowledge about Mana and spells, so you can use any spell you think of.
Alex heard several more things from his mother. Maria was very happy to see Alex interested again. She smiled and went to do her homework.

(As Alex)
I learned a few things from my mother. Although they won't help as much as they would if I went to the academy, I have gained a general knowledge of magic. Spells work much like my skills. If I say the name of the skill out loud, it will activate.
I came out of the house. There is a small garden behind. There are several tall trees next to it. I walked next to that tree. When I came out of the house, I noticed that my mother was busy with work.
According to Amma, if I close my eyes, I can see a bright light. So I sat in the garden. I closed my eyes and sat for a long time. But I couldn't see any bright light. Just then I heard the sound of my ring,
-->>Master, are you doing yoga?
-->>No, I'm trying to see the bright light.
Ring laughed at my words. Although I couldn't see the laughter, the sound was very annoying,
-->>What happened to the smile?
-->>No, Master, your Mana Core is not ready. Even if you sit like this for the rest of your life, you will not be able to see the bright light.
-->>What do you mean? Mana Core is not created! So how am I using energy?
-->>Of course it's because of your skill. Gluttony through which you can absorb anything. The energy of all the absorbed objects will be stored inside me. When your energy needs to be used, it will come out of me again.
-->>So you are working as my Core.(Me)
-->>Yes. Since there was no magical energy in the Master's world, your core was not created. Basically, a core is created in a person's body from birth. However, since yours was not created, I have to use it as your core.
-->>Is there no way to create a core now? (Me)
-->>Those who don't have cores can't use energy. Creating cores isn't impossible. But that's beyond my knowledge. You'll have to find other items for that.
-->>Other items?
-->>Most of my memories are sealed, but I remember that my old master had a royal animal. It carries all the master's knowledge. Master, if you want to create your core, you have to find it first.
-->>So I can use magic with your help? (Me)
-->>Yes, although I will be of limited use from a real core, it will be enough for the time being.
-->>Okay, otherwise it can be made later.
The ring remained silent for a moment. As he said, I understood that I would no longer have to see the bright light. I would now be able to use spells. But the problem was that I didn't know any spells. I had never seen anyone use spells before. And besides, my attribute is dark, I couldn't use any other spells except its spells. I tried for a long time but nothing came to my mind.
-->>Master, I would say that you should use your skills sparingly. I don't know much about spells myself.
Ring said this in a bored tone. Although his words made sense, I was angry. I had received a useless attribute that would not do any good. But suddenly Ring said,
-->>Congratulations Master, your dark attribute has been unlocked, you can use dark magic. New title unlocked "Consumer".
I was surprised to hear the title name. Am I playing some video game here, but I forgot to tell Ring why he was telling me this so late. I unlocked my attribute yesterday.
-->>Title?
-->>Yes, with this title you can absorb energy from any food or object you consume. Along with that, there is also the possibility of copying their skills.
-->>I mean it's like the Gluttony skill.
-->>A lot, but with the Gluttony skill, your body will absorb your target and act on whatever you eat through this title.
-->>Is this also once a day? (Me)
-->>Yes.
I haven't gotten to know my skills or the power of this ring yet. I've only used Gluttony once before, when I was in the tower. I haven't used any skills since then. I haven't had the chance to. I'm trying to keep my identity as secret from Maria and Almond's work as much as possible. I don't know how I became Alex, but if I do something strange, they might suspect that I'm not their son. But maybe after entering the academy, I won't have to worry about it too much.
My mother is in the house, since I don't know about any spells of the dark attribute, I can try using skills for that. I don't see any need to use Gluttony here. My title skill won't work here either. Because there is nothing to eat except some vegetables. But as far as I remember, I have three more skills. Medic which is a healing skill. According to the explanation of the ring, I won't need any Pran energy to use it. I'm not really interested in it. What interests me is Dark Fire and Skeleton Army. Through Dark Fire, I can create black fire with my body. Which is nothing less than the Fire attribute.
-->>Master, you can use the Dark Fire skill. However, there will be a five-minute cooldown after each use. You can use it again after five minutes.
The ring suddenly gave me its knowledge. To me, it felt like nothing but video games. Skills, cooldowns. Am I playing an MMORPG game? Although since the rise of the tower, I have to believe in all the unreal things. So I can't complain about that.
-->>Dark Fire।
I held my right palm straight up, facing the sky. Suddenly, a black smoke formed between my palms. After a few seconds, I saw a small fire that looked black.
-->>Master, you can control this fire as you wish. But the amount of Mana you have inside me will not be more than this. You will have to use more Gluttony skills and Consumer titles.
As the ring said, I realized that I would not be able to keep this dark fire burning for more than ten seconds with my little energy. However, by using this skill, I was able to get a general idea. To use my skill, I had to use the name of the skill, which was a bit like using a spell. However, when I said the name of my skill, the skill did not activate. Rather, when I was thinking of a form of black fire in my mind, black fire appeared in my hand.
-->>Well, ring, do spells work like my skills?
-->>Master is right. Although I just remembered the point. Your skill works by drawing a clear image in your mind. To activate it, you need to say the name of the skill. Just like spells. To use a spell, you also need to draw a clear image of that spell in your mind. If the image is not very clear, then you have to say the name of the spell, and if it is very clear, then you don't have to say the name.
The ring seemed to be a bit confusing. Even though I didn't understand it properly, I learned about the secret of the spell. I just need to see a few spells. I don't know how spells work in this world. But after seeing a few spells, I will get a clear picture of them in my mind.

Almond is going on a mission for the Hunter Organization. With Maria's permission, he is taking Alex with him. Their destination is the forest behind the Mephas Capital. It is not a very large forest. However, the two large mountains make the forest look much larger. There are various types of demonic beasts in the forest. They were once ordinary animals. However, they evolved when exposed to demonic energy. Since this forest is behind the capital, the Hunter Organization gives various hunters missions to kill various powerful demonic beasts. Hunters can earn money by hunting the beasts of the mission. In this way, the demonic beasts in the forest are also controlled.
Almond appears in the forest with his son. Alex is very curious. Almond does not see any sign of fear on his face. He is somewhat relieved to see his son not afraid. But Almond may not know that Alex, who has conquered fear by fighting with thousands of Skeleton armies with a small broken dagger without any magical weapons, is no longer afraid of anything.
-->>Alex, today Dad will show you the power of an Aura user. First I will find the target and then I will take you to a special place in this forest.
Alex was not afraid himself, but he was worried about Almond. Because unlike the other Hunters, he did not carry any weapons or magical items. However, Alex's worries were temporary. In a short time, they found the Two Headed Snake. The snake was very scary to look at, and it was not less powerful. Alex had heard that even two skilled Hunters needed a lot of time to hunt such a demonic beast. However, before his eyes, Almond smashed the two-headed snake to pieces with just one punch. The snake's blood and poison spread all around. Alex could not believe what he was seeing from a distance. His father was at least ten feet away from the snake. The punch of his hand could not see even a part of the snake that was ten feet away. But that was not all, the place behind the snake looked like a meteorite had fallen from the sky. A huge hole had been created, where there was not even a trace of a tree.
-->>Maria said to be a little more in control, but that seems like too much. Even so, after opening the limiter, I only used it at one percent power.
Almond said it slowly. He puffed out his chest and started walking towards Alex. He thought of two things, maybe Alex would be scared or interested by seeing his father's power. Almond was ready to comfort him if he was scared. And even if he was interested, he had many lectures in mind about that.
Alex never thought he would see such a terrible scene. He could never imagine his father being so powerful. So could Alex also do something like that if he could use Aura energy? In his thoughts, his father came in front of him and made a smiling face. Alex felt like his father had won the war. Although Alex was surprised, the scene on his face did not show, so Almond could not understand which of his two formulas to use. Almond was happy but felt sad inside. He lifted Alex on his shoulders and started taking him to a special place.
There is a huge waterfall in the forest. Its beauty is very charming. It is like a small river formed by the water falling from above. Almond lowered Alex. Almond saw the surprised look on Alex's face now. Almond gave a smile that conquered the world again,
-->>Alex, you wait here. I'll be right back.
Almond jumped into the water. There is a special kind of fish found in this river. It is a very popular food in the capital. However, no one except the nobles can eat it. It is legally forbidden for commoners to eat this fish in the capital. So Almond went to catch one. It didn't take long. He came out of the water holding one leg of a huge crab. He was waiting to see the surprise on Alex's face again. But he couldn't imagine that he would be surprised himself. Alex had lit a fire. He was grilling a six-foot gorilla in that fire.
