When I finished crafting another project, I could feel that I was much more skilled compared to before. Curious, I looked within myself to check the current state of my mana. That’s right. I had to know whether the rapid increase of my mana had anything to do with these creations. After I finished my second piece, Old Jeff glanced over. “Another piece of trash.” Just like before, Old Jeff completely disregarded my efforts, but I was not angry, the reason being that I could feel myself improving. What’s more, I was more bothered about whether or not my mana was increasing. Calming my mind and feeling the mana ripple within me once more, I opened my eyes, overjoyed. I could clearly feel that my mana had improved quite obviously from when I last checked. “So this really was the reason…”
