"The most general thing we can do with mana is convert it into energy, like how we are able to use it to provide voltage for the man made appliances in the house. Or we can use it in a more traditional sense to power our spells." Namjoon and I went down to the dynamic dungeon after breakfast this morning so he could hold a new lesson with me. It's been converted into the same library once again, and he's instructing me the basics regarding mana and magic in general. The problem is that I am not grasping it, nor am I able to follow along properly.

I phase out even more as I reminisce about jokes I would make in high school when one of my friends was being dense. 'You're as bright as a burnt out lightbulb.' 'You're not the brightest crayon in the box. Are ya?' 'You're about as sharp as a bowling ball.' Only had I directed those jokes at myself right now they would probably lack the loving affection I made sure to inject into every single word.

Honestly though, I don't think it is completely a mental lack of focus and capability of understanding that is keeping me from following along with his explanations. I think a lot of it probably has to do with how my hormonal side keeps distracting me by conjuring kinky teacher/student scenarios in my head. It doesn't help that I subconsciously wore a skirt to this learning session. Stop trying to implement the private school/teacher kink element already! Of course yelling at myself only works for a short period of time.

I mentally take a deep breath in some kind of additional attempt to regain my focus. "How's that applied to the dynamic dungeon?" I find myself asking before giving myself the chance to fully think the concept through. Huh. That is curious though. It isn't a man made concept like the appliances are. Before now I only connected it with the similar fictional elements found in my favorite wizard/witch fiction and sci-fi television series. I never worried over considering what made it function the way it did.

I can tell that he is trying to mentally formulate a proper way to answer me. I can't help but sense that each one of them are trying their damndest to keep me from knowing something, or perhaps they are keeping from learning about more than one juicy secret. I am sure the root of the matter involves something regarding not only my humanoid side that is clouded in mystery, but probably theirs as well. I just don't understand why they are still keeping it so tight lipped about it. True, it has been only a handful of days since we met, and I definitely empathize with how difficult it can be to be straight with a virtual stranger about anything personal. However, since it has to do with me as well, isn't it something I should know? So at the very least, I can start properly training that side as well if I need to.

"I can't really go into the particulars, because quite honestly I don't completely understand the core of it myself. The magic that changes the use of this room is actually powered by one of Jungkook's abilities. He is an expert illusionist. Due to our access to ever replenishing mana because of the converging ley lines beneath us, he was able to create a magical seal on the floor of the room that essentially permeates a spell. You already know that the spell in question creates anything the user should need. Due to the unlimited mana the illusion is capable of being all sensory as well. Hence why we can physically interact with the items."
