BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9 Mana Nerves
Dragons are the strongest species alive in this world and they are prideful and egotistical to no end.
Most of the time dragons live alone in their lair with the riches they collected in their youth. Only a few dragons come in contact with other species.
In the whole history of the dragon race there had only been one dragon who had managed to become a dragon lord with unmatched strength.
It has already been more than 20,000 years since its death but there wasn\'t any other dragon lord born in this time.
Even in the novel the protagonist could only come in contact with them after becoming friends with the elf\'s kingdom queen in the second continent.
Zick has the information about the novel so he might be one of the people who know about this world the most.
There are three continents in this world, There is no name to the continent . The three continents were called the first continent, second continent and third continent in the novel.
The first continent is the place where Zick was currently in. It has three main ruling forces in it.
The first, Cravion kingdom.
It is known as the strongest kingdom in the first continent as it has the Melvix family backing it up.
It is located in the west of the continent.
The second, the Mhydrasvil empire.
The Mhydrasvil empire was named upon the tree mentioned in ancient times called the Mhydrasvil, it was described as a tree which held the sky itself in this world.
It is known as an empire for a reason, the current king has managed to unite all the nobles if you put it in good words and if you put it in simple manner without any filter he used overwhelming strength and crushed the noble fraction ruthlessly.
It is located at the east side of the continent opposite the Cravion kingdom.
And the last ruling force, the magic kingdom, Pheorous.
It is also known as the Pheorous kingdom.
It is a kingdom known for its knowledge and its development with magic. It is unmatched when it comes to anything that includes magic.
Magic weapon, golem, teleportation circle, Enchanted items....
As long as there is the use of magic in it, the other two ruling forces can\'t match the magic kingdom.
It is located in the south of the continent.
Right now all the three main ruling forces have formed an alliance because of the emerging danger from the third continent and second continent.
The second continent is a little larger than the first continent, has more greenery and fertile lands where living beings can survive.
The north of the first continent is nothing but desert so the second continent has more space than the first continent.
There are five kingdoms in total on the second continent, but only four of them have Made a alliance and are invading the first continent to take over the lands there.
The kingdom which didn\'t participate in the war is the Elf\'s kingdom. The elf aren\'t interested in material gains with their long life span which reaches 500 years; they are already detached from the word materialistic.
The Elf\'s kingdom is located near the World tree, they love nature more than anyone else so they protect the world tree which symbolises nature itself.
They look down on all the species excluding dragons. They treat the dragon race with utmost respect as dragons are the species who are nearest to nature than any other species.
With the alliance of the four kingdoms in the second continent, They started invading the first continent from the east, where the Mhydrasvil empire was located.
Along with them, the third continent which was filled with the demonic race also started invading both the first and second continent at once.
Fending off both the demonic race and the second continent was hard, so this alliance was created on the first continent.
The three ruling force\'s kings had made an alliance by making an oath, a very strict one at that.
This oath applied to all the people who have the blood of the king flowing through them. If any of the royalty were to damage or attack each other with their own will for no apparent reason they would go through a pain that is worse than being pierced by a sword a thousand times. After going through the pain they would die.
It is a cruel oath which was made after going to the church of the goddess of fairness directly.
Thinking of all this, Zick trained usually in the knight\'s training ground to increase his stamina.
Zick not only had to learn about the history, he still had to take classes in ball party dancing and aristocratic behaviour. But luckily all these were held once a week and on a different day than the other.
Eating felix roots, practising dancing and aristocratic behaviour time went by very fastly.
In one week, Zick could feel that mana was being stored in his body. Feeling the mana, he was ecstatic for a long time and trained in his sword skill with more vigour.
Only after a month could Zick feel that the mana had stopped increasing in his body.
\'it\'s time....\'
Now that his body had enough mana, he didn\'t hesitate to become a lowest rank knight.
Entering his room he sat upon the bed.
The procedure was very simple, he had to bring all his mana into the heart then make it flow like nerves and connect it to every part of the body.
But it didn\'t seem like it would go as simply as it was supposed to.
Though the mana in his body followed his will, it took a lot of time to move.
Just bringing all his mana to the heart was hard and when he had finished bringing it there, his heart couldn\'t even take the pressure of that little amount of mana and made him go through a lot of pain.
\'Damn...this garbage body....\'
Zick could easily find out the reason this was happening, it was a very simple answer too.
His body wasn\'t capable of taking in the mana.
Not stopping, he started sending the mana through his blood to alleviate the pain.
"Huff....huff..."
Breathing roughly he Closed his eyes and then focused on his mana and started making mana nerves.
This time, he felt itchy all over his body when the mana nerves were being made.
Bearing with it, Zick didn\'t give up and kept making nerves non-stop.
After ten minutes, He had finished creating nerves and connecting it all.
Now that he had created his mana nerves he wouldn\'t have to do things like this until he reached the peak rank.
The mana nerves in his body would just collect the mana that his body accepts.
A lot of things have changed in this one month, doing exercise had given him a little muscle too.
After creating the mana nerves, his natural strength and senses had increased a little. But that isn\'t what is the main feature you get after becoming a lowest rank.
Now that Zick had mana nerves in his body, he could strengthen himself with the mana when he needed to, which is the main feature of becoming a lowest rank knight.
Lowest ranking is where a Knight build his foundation to become stronger in the future. Now whenever he ranks up, it would increase his body strength along with mana.
It was still in the morning so Zick took a bath and headed towards the knight\'s training ground.
The knights of the Melvix family have grown used to seeing Zick smiling the whole time so they ignored him and some even began talking behind his back like normal.
But when Zick started walking towards his sword trainer Garrick, everyones froze in their place.
It was different from how they all had stopped moving when they looked at Zick smile for the first time.
At that time everyone was stupefied from surprise, but now the air had turned solemn around the knights, even their expression was serious as they scanned Zick\'s body over and over again.
No one in the training ground could believe what they were feeling.
\'There are mana nerves in his body...he has become a lowest rank knight\'
That is the day when everyone would know that the garbage of the melvix family, the 6st son who\'s potential was measured as almost nonexistent had become a lowest rank knight.
