Since the matter became more or less decided, Eva left Bernal and Kulenna alone.
“We’ll leave it to you two. We won’t disturb you for now.”
“Bernal, you must listen to Master Kulenna.”
“I understand.”
Bernal replied obediently, reassuring Eva.
After that, Eva and Moss left first.
Before she left, Eva glanced at Alia, who was behind Bernal, clearly intent on bringing her along.
But then again, she did not do that for Bernal’s sake.
As the two left, Kulenna looked at Alia, who was left behind, in surprise.
Under the illumination of his eyes, some of her details gradually became clearer.
There are no signs of training. She’s an ordinary person?
After some thought, Kulenna ignored him and pretended that she did not exist.
Meanwhile, Alia seemed to sense something. She tilted her head, her exquisite eyes reflecting Kulenna’s figure like she wanted to remember him.
No one noticed that Alia’s pupils had changed slightly.
However, this change only lasted for a while before returning to normal.
Bernal seemed to sense something. He looked at Alia and was puzzled when he saw that everything was normal.
Was it an illusion?
Feeling Bernal’s gaze, Alia turned to give him a quizzical look.
Bernal shook his head to show that he was fine, then looked at his new teacher.
Watching the interaction between Bernal and Alia, Kulenna understood the relationship between the master and servant a little.
They had a high level of chemistry and seemed to be on good terms.
In that case, there was no need to avoid her deliberately.
Kulenna was not surprised by a special servant like Alia.
Essentially, every noble would have one to two or even more servants who were close to them.
“Teacher, what should we do first?”
Bernal was rather interested in the training.
Though currently, he might not need to use this method to become stronger.
Hearing Bernal’s words, Kulenna smiled gently and took out a crystal ball.
“Logically speaking, Young Master should start with strengthening your body.”
Upon hearing this, Kulenna could clearly sense a fluctuation in Bernal’s emotions.
It was also within his expectations.
Compared to physical training, children of this age were more interested in magic.
Therefore, Kulenna gave up on following the traditional path from the beginning.
“Well, I have a different opinion on this.”
These words piqued Bernal’s interest again.
“We’ll begin learning magic first. In my opinion, the concern with Young Master Nielson’s foundation is not only your limited physical endurance. It is also the case when you can’t control your power.
“Compared to physical training, learning magic can train your mental strength. Moreover, it’s more helpful to control your strength because of your interactions with various elemental energies.”
Kulenna’s theory was simple. As long as you could control the energy in your body not to hurt you, then even if your body was not strong enough, you could use a portion of the power without any side effects.
Bernal nodded with some anticipation.
“To learn magic, we must first test your mental strength.
“Generally speaking, if your mental strength isn’t good, then you’re not suitable to be a mage.”
Bernal also had some understanding of this.
Back then, during the test, he thought that he would surely do fine.
He was a transmigrator, after all, and his mental power should be pretty good.
However, the outcome disappointed him greatly.
Looking at Bernal, who was deep in his memories, Kulenna smiled and replied in a gentle voice, “Young Master Nielson, are you thinking about the previous tests?”
Bernal looked up and nodded. He was indeed thinking about the test.
“Then you don’t have to worry, Young Master Nielson. At that time, your power was still in slumber, so it would naturally not be detected.”
With that, a gentle green light emitted from Kulenna’s hand.
Then, a magic circle appeared in his hand, and it covered Bernal.
Such warmth!
When the light enveloped Bernal, he felt extremely comfortable.
At this moment, Kulenna’s voice sounded in his ear.
“Come, I have already performed a strengthening spell for you. With your body strength now, you should be able to temporarily activate a portion of the hidden energy in your body.”
Saying this, Kulenna handed the crystal ball to Bernal.
“Here, Young Master Nielson, let me see your talent now.”
Bernal grabbed the crystal ball with both hands, then looked up at Kulenna.
“What should I do?”
“Put your hand on the crystal ball and hold it tightly.
“Then, you can try to think of something in your mind.
“Be it something that makes you happy or angry.
“In any case, use any means to stir up your emotions.”
Following Kulenna’s instructions, Bernal closed his eyes and focused on the crystal ball in his hand.
“Focus. Starting now… Think. Try your best to think of the things that leave the deepest impression on you.
It doesn’t matter if it’s anger or joy…”
Seeing Bernal close his eyes according to his instructions, Kulenna began to focus at this moment.
What followed was the most important part of the test.
He was about to activate the power in Bernal’s body now. It was actually a very dangerous process.
If the activated energy exceeded Bernal’s endurance, it would likely have an irreversible effect on Bernal.
At the thought of this, Kulenna could not help but feel nervous, even if he was confident in his abilities.
At this moment, Bernal closed his eyes and began to recall everything he had experienced in the previous world. He also recalled what he had encountered after coming to this world.
At the same time, as Bernal’s mood changed, some differences began to appear in the crystal ball.
Light spots slowly surfaced in the crystal ball.
Upon seeing this, Kulenna knew that the test had begun. It was time for him to take action.
With this thought, Kulenna extended his hand, and a strange-looking staff appeared in his hand.
It looked more like a small tree than a staff.
As the staff appeared in his hand, Kulenna’s expression turned solemn..
