Today marked the first day of their second year. There was no grand ceremony or special event. They were trained knights, and their routine simply shifted to the next phase of training.
The students had been instructed to gather in the dining hall, with all lessons canceled for the day so they could be briefed on their new schedule.
As Ray walked through the hallway toward the dining hall, he pulled up his skill window.
It was the new skill he had unlocked after yesterday's incident. Of all the possible skills, why did it have to be this one?
Mana Drain allowed him to steal mana from humans or magical beasts and add it to his own permanently.
When he had been a dragon, the skill had functioned within a 100-meter radius, allowing him to absorb mana from the surrounding environment. Of course, powerful creatures or skilled mages could block it.
But now, the skill had changed.
