Inside the mana pool, a boy could be seen sitting in a meditative position. He was working on his Mana Heart. Unknown to him, a large bird appeared there, and from its back descended a girl. She was holding a cute, furry fox in her arms. Looking at the Mana Pools from close range, she was now sure what it was.
She commanded her Beast to survey the surrounding area and inform her if it noticed anything suspicious. She then touched the liquified Mana and felt the warm, relaxing feeling. Her heart almost popped out of her chest when she felt it; for a mage like her, this pool was very precious.
Not only would it help her purify her body and make it more mana-sensitive, but she would also be able to increase the creation speed of her Mana Heart. She once again surveyed the surroundings before taking off her clothes; she was only in her undergarments right now.
She put her soft right foot on the water before slowly entering her whole body. The relaxing feeling she felt was heavenly. She wanted to never come out of it, but she soon reminded herself that she only had six hours left. She started with her neck out of the water and her whole body inside it.
She carefully started the process of absorbing Pure Mana from her surroundings. She used a training method that increased her speed further. After some time, she was done. She felt that her body was a little different now. She could feel Mana passing smoothly through her body and now sensed the Mana around her from the touch.
She had just opened her eyes with a satisfied smile on her face when her expression changed. Her heartbeat increased, and her cheeks became red. She gritted her teeth and looked at the person in front of her, who still had his eyes closed and a relaxed expression on his face.
He opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a beautiful face with a blushing expression. He felt like something was weird. He came closer, his hand approaching the person in front of him. "Is this some kind of dream or illusion?"
Before he could go closer to confirm his doubts, He heard a familiar voice say, "Stay away, pervert."
"What?" Rishi blinks his eyes multiple times and awakens his senses. He then looked at the girl before him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"You... You didn't know I was there?" she asked him in an enraged tone. Rishi didn't like her talking to him in a higher tone, but he himself was not sure of the situation.
He suddenly understood what might have happened and replied, "I was already here; I was meditating inside the pool; it had been hours since I have been here. It's your fault; can't you check if there is someone before entering?"
When she heard that, she blushed again, she didn't know what to do now. She wanted to use this mana pool and couldn't just go out, so she politely asked Rishi, making a cute face. "Rishab, can you please go outside? You have been here for a long time; can you please let me use it for myself for a while? I am a mage; this is much more helpful to me. In exchange, I am willing to trade for other things."
Rishi looked at her. His heart was beating fast, but he controlled himself. He closed his eyes not to be swayed by her cute appearance and said, "I am sorry, Kajal, but this Mana Pool is also crucial to me. My fighting style is similar to that of a battle mage."
Kajal heard that she was even more frustrated, and she thought for some time before replying. Okay, then go to that corner and don't look back." Rishi followed her and summoned Vakar, asking him to create a cloud to hide them both from each other. Kajal was not satisfied, so she summoned her contract Beast Daisy and sent it near Rishi, saying, "Daisy, attack him if he tries to peep."
Rishi looked at the white-colored fox weirdly. They both started their own training again. Even when they had made so many arrangements, Rishi could not help but get distracted, but as soon as his eyes fell on the cute devil looking at him with lightning dancing in her eyes, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This awakening training continued for a while before Rishi suddenly remembered something and shouted "Kajal". No reply came, as if no one was present, when he increased his voice. His voice started echoing. He stopped after a while before saying, "Hello, I want to ask a question about Mana Heart; don't ignore me. I know you can hear me."
The head of a girl appeared on the surface on the other side. "What is it? Ask soon; I don't have time to waste."
"Can you tell me how Mages create Mana hearts using Magic runes?" he asked without wasting any time. He would have thought that he would get an answer the next moment, but what followed his question was silence. After some time, he heard a voice again, this time softer. "Why do you want to know about it?"
Rishi noticed her change of tone and was a little surprised. He replied, "I am going to create my Mana heart that way."
This time he received the response faster: "Why? Are you mad or what? Why would you use such a risky method?"
Rishi was a little tired this time. "Kajal, I asked you if you knew how to create Mana hearts using Magic runes. I would appreciate it if you could reply to me instead of bombarding me with more questions."
'This idiot, said Kajal inside her mind, why is he that eager to die? If you are really that eager to die, then it's not like I care if you live or die.'
She explained the whole process in detail before saying, At last, she added, "You need a high-level Rune Master for this process; even a Rune Master doesn't try it by themselves."
"Thanks," said Rishi before starting the process the next moment. Kajal heard what he said, and from his tone, she was sure that he was going to try it. She facepalmed herself, saying 'Why do I care? It will be better if I am not bothered by him in the future.'
She said so but looked back for a second to check his condition, but soon she realized that she could not see anything other than cloudy wind. She sighed as she looked in his direction: 'I hope you do something unexpected this time too.'
