Chapter 49: C49 – Skill / Caravan

Dirk went through his classes calmly for the rest of the day. This was especially so when he arrived at his enchanting class. It was here that he intended to complete his test. 

All the students arrived and immediately got to work. Dirk took out his piece of leather and proceeded to sift through all the different frequencies with his dark mana. The mana resonated with the leather more and more every time he switched frequencies. He felt himself getting closer, and his mind concentrated every time he felt the sensation of mana making contact with the leather. 

At some point though, Dirk found that the precision and concentration necessary for switching frequencies became surprisingly high. This was because he continually narrowed down a very specific frequency, so the difficulty in accurately obtaining it increased. However, this led him to think of something. He thought inwardly.

'Interface.'

[Awaiting orders.]

'Can you impart frequencies to mana? Like how I've been doing?'

Dirk asked. There was momentary silence before the AI spoke.

[Affirmative. Through observation of mana frequencies, a magical formula has been derived. Note: In order to impart unknown frequencies, your active assistance will be needed. Once a frequency is discovered, the immediate range will be saved for autonomous channeling.]

'Sweet. Work with me then.'

With a happy smile, Dirk went back to focusing on his piece of leather. As he began to resonate mana again, he could feel his AI assisting in the work. It made the resonation much more precise and thereby much more reliable. Dirk smiled before continuing to scour various frequencies, constantly narrowing down the correct one. 

Eventually, after an hour or so of searching alongside his AI, the mana came close to binding. Upon resonating, a majority of the mana was left bound to the leather. It actually formed a half enchantment, but overall it was a failure. Dirk wasn't concerned as he continued to slightly change frequencies with his AI and form half enchantments. 

Then, the moment came. As soon as Dirk started another enchantment, he could feel it. The dark mana he controlled streamed into the leather like ink, perfectly binding to it. He withheld his excitement as the AI locked in on a frequency and his mana formed the full rune. Finally, it was completed.

"So you've done it."

Dirk didn't notice the teacher standing in front of him, so he snapped out of his tunnel vision when he heard the surprised, deep voice.

The teacher carefully grabbed the leather out of Dirk's hands, looking at it. All the other students were staring at him as well not unlike when the first boy completed his enchantment.

"Well done. Now, all you need to do is enchant the blue leather, then you'll have passed. Take all the time you need."

The teacher set the piece of leather back on Dirk's desk with a nod.

However, Dirk wasn't paying any attention to him. His focus was turned inward.

Within Dirk's chest, he felt a strong fluctuation from his mana heart. More than that, he felt some changes to his mana sense. The mana around him became a bit more clear, and his mind seemed to sharpen. He felt reinvigorated and magically stronger. Then, some notifications appeared in his vision.
