Xavier was dumbfounded by the event that just occurred. When a mana measurement device shatters, it means that it cannot measure the large amount of mana someone possess. Abel looked confused. 

"Teacher, is it supposed to shatter like that?"

"Strange, I heard he had no magic, but this changes everything. How nice! This is similar to when I was a child," he thought.

"Hmm, it might be faulty. It's not supposed to unless a strong magician measures their magic. Let's try another one," he said, pulling out another.

"Okay."
"I shouldn't make assumptions, I should confirm it again," Xavier thought before hearing glass shatter again.

Abel was shocked.
"It shattered again as to expected," Xavier said

"Abel possessed no magic in the original story," Abel thought.

"Amazing. This child is definitely just like me. He's an all-affinity user. Is he a child loved by God? He's similar to the magician in the hero party," Xavier thought. 

He clapped.

"Excellent, how great. Another has shattered. Your mana must be pretty high for this to happen. However, this is a small-grade measurement vessel. We'll need the professional one, but that can wait. It's time for the first lesson, Mana channeling."

"Mana channeling?"

"Yes, please observe," he said while a blue mana appeared around him.

"These children are gifted but if they cannot control their mana, what is the point of teaching magic in the first place. They're both under the age of 12 and they aren't very mature quite yet. One of them is obsessive over their younger brother, while the other wants to copy everything the older brother does. Although, teaching them how to defend themselves with mana should get them interested in mana concentration," he thought. 

"Woah, cool," Charles said.

His mana dissipated, and he smiled.

"Both of you stand up, it's easier to concentrate mana when your standing. Although many warriors will concentrate mana in the meditating position. It's possible to overcome barriers with that method although, it's easier and practical to become aware of mana around yourself or inside when you're on your feet.  Mana is like you blood inside your body, with out a small amount of it you could die from magic exposure."

"That's great to tell to kids, professor," Abel thought as they both stood up. 

"Close your eyes and feel the energy in your body," Xavier said with a smile. 

They closed their eyes, and the world around Abel darkened in his mind. He saw bright energy surging inside him. Xavier looked shocked as he saw the bright gold mana around him. Charles also had mana around him, but it wasn't as dense as Abel's. Abel was surrounded by golden mana.

"You both are quite amazing. Now, I need you to focus on containing your energy around your body instead of letting it flow. Your energy should be like a thin layer of armor around you, making you feel light and strong."

"Isn't armor heavy," Charles asked?

"Not magical armor; magical armor gives you a boost in physical abilities and mental strength. For example, if a magician didn't have magical armor around them when an offensive spell was to hit, the mental and physical damage would be severe. The same goes for weak magic concentration. The weaker the concentration of magic the less protection it provides," he said. 

"Could it be that the man is supposed to work like a layer of protection around the body? The more concentration there is, the better protection," Abel thought as his golden mana formed a stable layer around him.
