"Phew that was a bit much but okay," William said as he was walking down the hall he went into his room

"Emma show me my stats"

[Strength:6

Speed:5

Dexterity:5

Mana:4

Brain Power:9]

Hmm my stats have indeed improved but my brain power hasn't improved a bit and I don't know how to do it

[you could try circulating your mana to your brain]

"Yes I can try but I'm worried whether there will be any adverse reactions because they're basically just soft blobs of fat, easily deformed by the touch of a finger. Brains are so soft to the touch that, in order to stay safe, your brain actually floats inside your skull, so I'm worried that if I tried to move my mana and make contact with it considering how volatile it is I'm afraid it will mess up my brain turning me stupid or worse yet put me into a vegetative state"

[Well this is the only way I can think of doing it because the concept of brainpower has never existed in this world so I cannot tell much about how to improve this power, you William are on uncharted seas right now with unfortunately no help you must figure this out on your own]

After Emma said that William just sat there thinking about ways to improve his brain power unfortunately he realized that it was already late at night so he went to sleep without an idea on how to breakthrough

The next day he and his family sent of James apparently the journey from here to the academy is 4 days Ried along with a few guards were also sent with him as protection and 2 maids as well who will stay with James in the academy

Not gonna lie James was looking at me as if he was gonna kill me so I kept must hurt his pride bad anyway I kept my goodbyes short

After that happened a few days went by and dad informed me that he had gotten me a tutor

-------

William can be seen sitting on a wooden chair with a table and in front of him another table

"Can't believe I'm in such a school-like setting, even if u said I'm not interested in going to the academy or whatever dad went and got me a tutor, at least I hope the tutor is good-looking so it can be a pleasant time hopefully

William was rambling on the doors which had been closed were opened and a guard walked and following behind him was a brown-haired woman with brown eyes and a nice chest

'Yup this is definitely gonna be a good time ;)'

[Oh so you like the big ones hmm]

'What! How do you know what I was thinking!'

[Oh nothing, pay attention she's about to speak]

"Good morning young master grey my name is Alisa monfret wife of the marquise Harry monfret and I'll be teaching you about mana"

'Fuck she taken, lucky prick'

"Hey I hope we can have a pleasant time and please call me William"

"Well you can call me Alisa," she said with a slight bow

Well even though she thought me about Mana and some details I was missing in my personal knowledge about Mana overall she just thought the basics for today

"Well, any questions William?"

"Yes I do, how do you make your mana more stable"

"Well that is something a person can't succeed in because of the nature of mana itself is not something that is meant to be controlled that's why when cultivating we just provide directions to mana to follow through our pathways we can never actually have full control over it, this is because of the characters of mana is not as compatible so we have to forcefully take in the mana and give it a way to go through our bodies and then we store this mana in places like our heart and wrists creating one of the two pathways"

"What happens if we store mana in a different place like the brain"

"Well there have been people who have tried but unfortunately those parts can't support it and their heads blew up we use our hearts and wrists because the heart is considered the strongest part of the body cause it pumps out blood to everywhere in the body and the wrist is an intermediary to bring the mana to our hands where we release it into an element that we are most familiar with"

"Can we release the mana before we break into the grey grade?"

"No, we can't because our bodies cannot handle the release of it in pure mana so we have to wait until we get an element we are most compatible with and then we release mana in the form of that element"

"So is this element meant to act like a filter for the mana or a convertor"

"Unfortunately William we have researched mana itself and the element it turns into before but there was no success in it"

"Alright thank you miss Alisa you have been a great help!"

"It's my job young master William," Alisa said that with a courteous bow and dismissed herself

William also exited the room after some thought and went to his room

"Emma, does me being able to release pure mana, unlike others, have anything to do with that body reward I had gotten?"

[Yes it is related to the 'Adaptable Body', do you remember that wall-like feeling you had yea that's because that is what's normally there for all people but you broke through it which would normally result in your mana getting dispersed and you being unable to store it again for reference it like a hole at the bottom of a bottle no matter how much water you pour in it, it will just be leaked out but the adaptable body made your body adapt to the change and allowed for it to be directed into an object]

"So it's like putting a pipe with an on and off switch on the hole which redirects the released mana into an object?"

[Exactly!]

"Also Emma do you know whether the element is meant to act like a filter for the mana or a convertor?"

[indeed I do know about this but this information is from another race so I don't know if it is applicable to the human race as well because although they have a humanoid shape like every intelligent species on this planet there are fundamental differences to humans]

"It's fine even if it's something like that at least they have a humanoid shape and they use mana so that information could be of some help"

[The elements are used as the convertor for them as they are used to turn mana into the element they are most compatible with]

"I see right now I can't do anything about it tho so all I can do is get to the grey rank and get an element for myself to see what it is"

Author note: I have a question for you all what would you prefer for the mc in romance a harem(2-3 girls at best) or just one girl??
