            I started to explain, "Okay, let's break down how your eyes can see through the wall…..As you know how our eyes work to process sight from the object, and our eyes perceive the bounce of light from the object. How about that thing doesn't work in your gift of eyes…"

            "What doth thou mean?" Asked Lilith.

            "Your eyes slightly have a different mechanic that perceives something to see through some materials. To do that, your eyes don't work like normal eyes…"

            "So, how doth it work?"

            "Before you had a unique view about how we perceive sight, that eyes send something into the object, and that something bounces back or the object sends something to our eyes, so we can see that object. This principle is the closest thing to how we know your gift of eyes worked."

            "Yet, 'tis  divers when i see it  'i  mere darkness…"

            "When you see in complete darkness, you don't send anything because the invisible light is always around you, so what your eyes are doing is absorbing or receiving all of this invisible light. Which is different, if you see through a wall, you need to know what is behind the wall to see through it…"

            "Well, the thing i wot is just simple; somehow i just compose the wall disappear… (Well, the thing I know is just simple; somehow I just make the wall disappear…)"

            "To see it, it's not mag—" This world is full of magic; change the word… "Practical to remove the wall, so what your eyes doing isn't remove the wall, but gain a perception of what is behind the wall…That's why your eyes send something to penetrate that wall, after that, something goes into the wall, and the thing sees something behind the wall, somehow that thing goes back into your eyes, so you know what is behind the wall, this illusion makes you think of the misconception that your eyes remove the wall, but in reality, your eyes are simply perceiving what is behind the wall without physically removing it…"

            "Why doth mine eyes want to send this thing?"

            "Yeah, because the things that your eyes send into the wall don't scatter around us…" Or yes, they are scattering around, or it is just only me who doesn't feel or know them, "Because they aren't around us, your eyes produce it by themselves and send it through to the wall. And, the things in your eyes are much more powerful than the invisible light that you receive to see in complete darkness…or the visible light from the sky."

            Lilith asked, "Why do you know that? Even these things are invisible. (Why do you know that? Even these things are invisible.)" Confused and puzzled as she seemed not believe of what I had just said.

            How do I explain it to them? It's impossible to detect Infrared Light and Electromagnetic Radiation (X-rays) without any technology. "Well, it's not just about detecting them, it's also about understanding their effects on our surroundings." Even with observation of the surroundings, it's still impossible to know or detect these things.

            "Yet, every time I used these eyes…" She started to use the eyes as her eyes were glowing, "There is no effect or harmful around it, which direction that i had view…like thou, (There is no effect or harmful around it, which direction that I had view…Like you,)" She looked at me, observed from bottom to top, "See!  nought is happening around you…which why doth thou say understanding the effects towards the surroundings? (See! Nothing is happening around you…Which why do you say understanding the effects on the surroundings?)"

            "The invisible things are hard to detect, even if they left a small or almost no trace…So when you observed or looked at me with those eyes, the trace from those eyes was so small in my body…

            "See, so how-"

            "YET…There is something" Cancer "The wave of your eyes is so powerful in my body…" A normal body, I can't say normal body, because, in this world, a normal body may be far superior to my body…An inferior body aka my body.

            "Yet  right now, thou seem brave, i do not  see any harmful effect around thy corporal agent (But right now, you seem fine, I don't see any harmful effect around your body.)"

            "The effect is so not instantly, but it's developing, if you continue to use those eyes on me, and make me continue exposed to the things from you, slowly my body can't take it anymore…"

            "How is this work?"

            "Slowly, the body starts to deteriorate and show signs of illness. The invisible impact of your gaze becomes visible through the manifestation of the signs of my illness… such as fatigue, weight loss, and a weakened body. The power of your eyes can gradually weaken my body, leaving me vulnerable to the devastating illness…That can't be cured…Even from the outside, it seems fine, but on the inside it's actually falling apart" Except if the creature's immune system in this world is so advanced about this radiation, it shouldn't have any effect on their body, because they are always being exposed to this radiation, or I can say, the radiation from their nuclear fusion, aka Mana….

            "Well, I know not that haply i shall use this carefully to  not directly on you… (Well, I don't know that maybe I will use this carefully to not directly on you…)"

            There was still something odd in my mind, "But there is a thing that odd…"

            "What is that?"

            "And I believe you are curious about this too, it's about mana…"

            "Ah yes, that, ere thou are unaffected by mine mana… (Ah yes, that, before you are unaffected by my mana….)"

            "From the three attributes; Strength, Agility and intelligence—mana comes from Intelligence, the higher their intelligence, the more mana they have. Is that true?"

            "Yes, that's correct.  Mana is directly linked to a creature's intelligence.  The moe intelligent  they are, the ranker their mana reserves shall be.  And yet , 'tis important to note that mana usage also depends on how skilled a creature is at harnessing and controlling it.  Hence e'en if a creature hath high intelligence,  they may  not necessarily  hast firm-set  mana abilities would they want the behoveful training or experience (Yes, that's correct. Mana is directly linked to a creature's intelligence. The more intelligent they are, the greater their mana reserves will be. However, it's important to note that mana usage also depends on how skilled a creature is at harnessing and controlling it. So even if a creature has high intelligence, they may not necessarily have strong mana abilities if they lack the necessary training or experience.)"

            "So, may you explain to me how, from inside your body, this mana can be whatever magic or spell on outside?" I want to know if mana is really fusion energy, aka nuclear fusion, or just an energy force like the Polynesian culture, which is the main source of this mana concept in fantasy literature.

            Lilith started to explain “Sure, the process of channelling mana from within the corporal agent  to perform magic or cast spells is known as spellcasting; thou repel the spell or  not.  Wherein a creature wants to use their mana for a specific intent,  they tap into their internal reserves and focuses their energy towards the desired issue.  Through incantations, gestures, or rituals,  they manipulate the mana and shape it into the desired magical effect.  It requires concentration, control, and a deep understanding of how to manipulate mana effectively (Sure, the process of channelling mana from within the body to perform magic or cast spells is known as spellcasting; you can repel the spell or not. When a creature wants to use their mana for a specific purpose, they tap into their internal reserves and focuses their energy towards the desired outcome. Through incantations, gestures, or rituals, they manipulate the mana and shape it into the desired magical effect. It requires concentration, control, and a deep understanding of how to manipulate mana effectively.)"

From what she explained, there is no indication of fusion in the concept of this mana…But how does the body manage the mana, from reserving it, manipulating it, shaping it, and releasing it?

            I asked, "You said, the internal reserves, so may you tell me which part of the body is responsible for storing and harnessing this mana?"

            Varania and Lilith looked at each other, and their faces showed some confusion among each other. Varania and Lilith exchanged puzzled glances at me, unsure of how to answer the question. Lilith finally spoke up, "Honestly, this is the first time some one hath asked something like that, so i am  not merely sure.  I wot that mana flows through the corporal agent ,  yet  i am  not sure if there could  a specific part responsible for storing and harnessing it.  'tis possible that mana is distributed throughout the corporal agent  and used as needed (Honestly, this is the first time someone has asked something like that, so I am not entirely sure. I know that mana flows through the body, but I am not sure if there is a specific part responsible for storing and harnessing it. It's possible that mana is distributed throughout the body and used as needed.)"

            In Polynesian culture, mana isn't like in this world, where this mana can be shaped into a spell. Mana in Polynesian culture is believed to be a spiritual force that can be found in both living beings and inanimate objects. It is thought to be closely tied to the gods and ancestors, and its presence is often invoked during rituals and ceremonies for protection, healing, or other purposes. So basically, they are completely different. Mana in this world has become associated with magical abilities and spellcasting. These mana in this world should have something to touch or tap in their source to create a spell. It's not like Lilith said; it's just manipulating and shaping it. If it's like that, everything in this world is a landmine. To ensure it, I need to ask one question,

            I asked, "Is this mana scattering around us?" The answer to this question was crucial. If mana was indeed present all around us, it meant that anyone with the knowledge and skill could potentially tap into its power. It meant everything was a landmine.

            Lilith answered, "Yes, mana is everywhere and anywhere…"

            So in theory, if mana, the energy of magic, is scattered around, all of the creatures can easily tap into these energies and create any spell without any limitations. To create a spell, it just manipulated and shaped the mana. Yet for what purpose does the body need to store this mana? Or maybe their body has a method to distillate and refine this mana into their spell or their body? Yet they need to tap something into that mana to have great impact or great energy, there is no way this raw mana can have big energy without any external source or catalyst.
