The Lone Hero's
Ch.8 Magic Exercises
After he finished training, Alucard returned to his room. There he took a bath and just lay on a soft mattress to relax the body and mind.
“It turns out Silvana is very strong, I don't think I can lose continuously, even I can't touch it in the slightest,” Alucard closed his eyes, begin to imagine how the movements Silvana made and imagine what movements were most effective against him.
In his shadow, Alucard fought Silvana fiercely, moving quickly to play his sword.
On one occasion, Alucard provided a powerful attack that reflexively resisted Silvana. Although it could be held, Silvana remained hit back a few steps.
Alucard instantly launched a follow-up attack, in one second, he gave 10 consecutive slashes.
But everything can be tackled by the girl. Silvana who from the beginning only focused on defense is now attacking.
Alucard instantly felt the pressure, each attack of Silvana made him make a defense full of gaps in movement until it was very profitable Silvana.
Alucard ended up kicking and falling. He was also defeated.
Alucard opened his eyes with a wry smile, “even in my imagination can't beat Silvana.”
“I have to get stronger, keep getting stronger so I can avenge!” Alucard raised his clenched right hand full of determination, “All demons must be drenched in blood.”
*Tok tock!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.
“Master, this is me, Luna, come deliver food.”
“Come in!”
The door opened showing the maid carrying a tray with food and several books stacked.
Luna put the food on the table and bowed respectfully to Alucard.
“The princess also told me to bring a magic book. The princess is instrumental in you reading it!”
“Alright, thank you and sorry for the trouble!”
“No problem, this is my duty as a waiter. Then excuse me,” Luna bowed once more before walking out of the room.
Alucard took all the books and looked at the covers one by one.
“Each of these books contains knowledge of magic from each of the basic elements. There are 5 basic elements of fire, water, wind, earth and lightning. Let's try from the fire element first!”
Alucard picked up the fire magic book then started reading it.
The initial chapter stands on the notion of magic energy or the so-called Mana. To begin converting Mana into an element must first be able to control the mana in the body.
Alucard began to try it, closing his eyes to sense the Mana within his body.
It didn't take long for Alucard to be able to sense the Mana within his body. He began to try to flow as described in the book.
After a while, Alucard opened his eyes, looking at his right hand which was still wrapped in armor now already enveloped in blue-colored energy.
“Silvana once said that if the color Mana describes the elements that belong, because my Mana is blue, I should fit in the lightning element right, right,” Alucard put the fire magic book and then took the lightning magic book.
The first chapter of the lightning element book is more or less the same as the fire element book, so Alucard immediately ignores the initial chapter and immediately reads the next chapter.
In chapter 2 it explains how to manipulate mana into lightning elements.
Imagination will be the interpreter for Mana in change. So which user should imagine how lightning is so that Mana can understand the brain's commands to be a lightning element.
“Alright, I'll try with a little Mana first,” Alucard starts imagining lightning, how lightning flows and moves so fast.
Fortunately, Alucard had once accidentally seen lightning strike a tree until it fell so he could be younger imagine what lightning looks like.
Not requiring a minute, the lightning energy that enveloped Alucard's right hand was now changing into a stream of lightning that flashed.
Alucard certainly felt amazed, not once did he ever think he could use magic like this.

Silvana was running small in the quiet hallway of the palace while smiling cheerfully. Usually that Moniyan Empire princess would walk gracefully, rarely seeing her so carefree.
As Silvana was about to turn into the intersection of the passageway, he suddenly stopped when he almost hit someone.
Silvana saw who the person he almost hit, he was slightly jolted knowing that the person turned out to be the Queen of Moniyan Empire who was his own mother.
“I'm sorry I almost hit you. Mom is okay, right?”
“Mother is fine, after all it is just almost,” Queen Moniyan Empire named Siliya smiled gently, “not usually you look so carefree like earlier, is there something going on?”
Silvana was silent for a moment, visibly thinking before saying.
“Mother, will Mother not be angry if I make friends with ordinary people?”
“You know mom never forbids you from hanging out with anyone if she's not a bad person. If she is indeed your friend, tomorrow take her to the gazebo in the flower garden, I want to see and judge her directly whether she is good or bad!”
“Eh?”
“Why? Is there a problem with mother request?”
“Not so mother, it's just.” Silvana looks doubtful, she plays her fingers, “my friend is a man.”
This is what makes Silvana doubt her mother will allow her to befriend Alucard. If Alucard is a woman then he has nothing to worry about, but Alucard is a man.
Siliya silent does not immediately answer the words of his daughter makes Silvana increasingly tense.
“Silvana, are you sure he's just your friend?”
“Yes, Alucard is indeed my friend.”
“Do you really just consider him a friend? Don't have any other special feelings?”
“Mother, I never thought of such a thing.”
Siliya sighed, “Silvana you need to know that the feeling of love can come at any time without being predictable. I was also once young like you, so looking from your eyes and manner alone, I can already guess your feelings are starting to grow on that young man!..
It's not that I don't like to see you befriend ordinary people but you should remember your position as Crown Princess of Moniyan Empire. The future of Moniyan Empire is in your hands!..
If later your feelings get bigger and you force the will to continue with the young man, there will definitely be someone who uses that to form a faction of boxers. No need to explain what happened next, you should have understood.”
Silvana fell silent, she understood what her mother meant. Alucard is just an ordinary person, if he gets too close to the young man and feelings of love begin to grow, the two of them will continue to endure the pain of never being able to be together.
Although Silvana himself sure does not have special feelings for Alucard, but what will happen in the future no one knows.
