NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66: Chapter 65
When Fern heard the question about how to make the Zooltrak spell more powerful, she stared motionlessly into Yuta's eyes for a few seconds.
The fact that Yuta had asked her this question was clear proof that he hadn't been listening to what she was saying seriously until now. Even if Fern was not happy with the situation, the only thing she could do was to breathe out loudly before answering the question honestly.
"Yuta-sama Zooltrak is one of the most basic mana attack methods. There are no tricks to this technique. The things you need to do to make the technique more powerful are to improve your mana control ability or to increase your mana capacity, and you need to train more to increase your mana capacity."
"Call me Yuta-sensei please."
When Fern heard him asking her to call him teacher again, she thought of many things she could say to him, but since she was still a timid child who suspected that Yuta was a demon, all she could say was "I don't wanna".
Yuta was telling Fern to call him sensei, but so far Yuta had taught her nothing and he had learned a lot about the basics of mana from Fern.
Of course, there was one area where he was clearly superior to Fern. Yuta was able to use the Zooltrack spell without the magic staff. Yuta raised his hand, formed it into a weapon, and pointed it at the last intact tree in Tsunade's garden, and suddenly a mana shot from the tip of his index finger struck the tree.
Fern admired this for a second, as usual, and then she squinted and looked at Yuta. Ever since she had seen Yuta using ninjutsu like other ninjas, Fern had stopped thinking that Yuta was a demon. But when Yuta learned the Zooltrack spell from her, and used it with a casual wave of his hand, just like demons, and his Zooltrack spell was black, Fern's suspicions resurfaced.
Demons were a ruthless race, born with bodies that helped them manipulate mana. Humans, on the other hand, often needed magical staff to use magic freely. Of course, a skilled wizard could ignore this need over time, but most of them continued to use staff.
Yuta could sense the malicious suspicion of the little girl behind him because of her race and found it amusing, so he did nothing to change it.
At this moment the voices of two children came from outside the garden. "Yuta-sensei!!!"
Yuta frowned when he heard that the two boys he had accepted as students about a month ago on the Hokage's orders had found him again.
Although these two students were not mentioned in the story, they were quite talented children. This means they are probably two of the hundreds of geniuses who died in the nine-tailed rebellion.
Yuta wanted to tell them to fuck off and do the D-level missions on their own, but he had orders that he was supposed to stand over them on every mission.
"Anyway Fern, all I have to do is use my mana to the fullest every day, right?"
"uhu, probably once you finish your mana every day for a year you'll close the gap. Uh, right... How old are you?"
"Close the gap?"
"Mana capacity is based on soul energy, and the amount of soul energy you have is related to how old you are. So if you started magecraft after the age of ten, in the first year you can accumulate ten years' worth of mana."
Yuta looked at the soul statistic out of the corner of his eye and realized that this tenfold buff thing was going to be there for many years to come.
"It's very rude to ask a man his age. Anyway, I think I understand. I'll try to prepare the thank you gift for your help as soon as possible."
When Fern heard that it was rude to ask a man's age, she thought of the first time she met Heiter. If she saw him again, she would have to apologize to him.
Ignoring the misunderstanding he had caused, Yuta turned around and went to see the two boys who were still shouting in front of the house.
When Yuta first started school he was taller than all the other students, but in just a little over a year, the boys outside the gate had already reached the same height as him. Yuta hoped to enter the egg again soon and suddenly become an adult, otherwise his own students would become taller than him.
A sullen-faced Hyuga genius on the right and an angry civilian genius on the left. Minato, a student of Hiruzen's, had taken a student from the Uchiha clan, the Hatake clan, and civilians, while Yuta had taken a student from the Hyuga clan and civilian families.
This was Sarutobi's way of showing people the importance he attached to civilian ninjas. Of course, he did not forget the two biggest clans in the meantime.
Yuta had tried to protest Obito being Minato's student on the day the students were given out because he hoped that Kakashi and Rin would get together, but unfortunately, his effort was not accepted and he was scolded by Hiruzen. Because the ninjas who heard Yuta suddenly say such a thing guessed that he had a prejudice against the Uchiha clan. As a result, the question marks were directed at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Fortunately, Yuta realized this before it was too late and said he wanted to train Obito himself. Of course, Hiruzen refused after telling him that he had shown enough favor by allowing him to take Fern as a student.
As a result, Yuta was forced to complete the mission with his new students and earn merit.
"Sensei we just came from Hokage-sama and you won't believe what he said!"
