Chapter 14: Most Possible Way

"WE DID IT!" Pearl was jubilant. She shouted happily, extending her hand holding the paper up to the sky, jumping repeatedly like an athlete achieving a gold medal in spite of being injured. Janine fell down on the grass and there was a smile hinted on her face, in the back of her mind she thought, 'Finally.' The girls reached their first objective, and that is to have a grip of mana control. Jade took a deep breath lying on the grass and looked at Edward and Yujin who were walking in their direction.

"We did it," Jade whispered with a smile turning towards Yujin.

"Yes you did... Need a hand?" There was a slight grin on the redhead's face showing how proud he is. He offered his hand and Jade gradually took it. He helped her stand.

Glory who was sitting on the grass was just giving a blank stare to the paper she's holding. It was cut with a zigzag pattern and somehow its texture got crisp. There was weariness all around her face but it turned into a slight smile when an image of Andrew suddenly flashed in her mind, she put her hand on her chest and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and looked at everyone's happy faces.

"Congratulations," everyone was cut off by the sound of someone clapping. It was Asher, there was a grin on his face, beside him is Noctis walking with his hands inside his pocket. "All of you passed the first step. You're the first Earthlings who was able to achieve mana control."

Even though it sounded appreciative, everyone's happy faces disappeared, they knew starting from now on will be one step more dangerous and mad serious. "What are we going to do next?" Glory stood up and looked at the albino.

"Eager aren't we?" Asher moved forward while narrowing his eyes looking at everyone's faces. "All of you. Show me the papers you're holding." He ordered around. The girls immediately raised their hands and showed each of their papers. Glory and Janine's are somehow similar, cut in zigzag pattern while Pearl and Jade's were cut in a straight line. Asher and the rest looked at it. Different reactions were painted on their faces as if they were investigating some science project. "This is interesting..." The albino whispered.

"What... Umm, is there a problem?" Janine asked with her emerald eyes being curious.

"No there is none. In fact, the results are remarkable considering that you're Earthlings." Asher fixed his glasses and sounded so interested in the results. "However, there will be little changes in the training from now on." The girl's attention was caught up. "I did say that you have two objectives for this training right? First is to perfect mana control which you already achieved right now and the second is to perform a Ganlon." The albino paused and looked at Janine and Glory. "However, it seems like casting a Ganlon is impossible for some of you." His pair of golden orbs looked sharply at the two.

Janine and Glory already felt that they are the ones who the albino refers to.

"W-What do you mean? We can't perform a Ganlon?" Glory's voice cracked. She already achieved the first step for saving Andrew yet there is already a new mountain that blocked her way. Disappointment was about to bring tears in her eyes.

"You see there are types of people on our planet," this time it was Noctis who spoke. "Those who can perform a Ganlon and those who are not." Everyone was surprised when they heard of it. For Janine and Glory, it seemed that what they were striving for had already been crushed.

Asher turned his gaze towards the soft-honey head girl. "The purpose of that paper is to determine whether you are capable of casting a Ganlon or not. Papers cut with a zigzag pattern only means that the user's mana is not qualified for that."
