Sensing the Mana in the air, I begin to absorb it into my body. Surprisingly, it doesn't take much effort, but it still requires me to absorb and refine it—I can't just pull raw Mana into my body. Even when I try to harness raw Mana, I see the waves moving away from me as if rejecting me.
I glance at Lilith and see a small pool of Mana forming around her, about a 0.5 meter radius. The warm energy dances around her in a mesmerizing way.
"WHAT THE HELL?! ONE METER RADIUS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME!" Aleena suddenly exclaims, looking at me like a monster, her eyes wide in shock.
I'm startled by her reaction but I don't stop what I'm doing. Apparently I still can't exactly gauge the size of my own Mana pool yet, but it feels like I can absorb even more Mana.
Lilith, on the other hand, is already sweating buckets. Since the last time, her Mana pool has only grown a little—maybe about 0.2 meters more but her total is still not up to a 1 meter radius.
