The boy inhaled sharply.
"Your mind is fighting the flow. Stop forcing control and stabilize the anchors first."
A faint ripple of mana spread from her palm into his body.
The effect was immediate.
The violent fluctuations around him softened.The cadet exhaled in relief.
"Good," Aesa said quietly before moving on.
She stopped beside another student whose face had turned pale.
Again her hand rested gently on the shoulder.
"Three anchors," she recalled.
"Head. Heart. Core."
"Link them properly.Don't be hasty.It's okay if it takes time."
The cadet nodded and closed his eyes.
The unstable currents slowly settled.
One by one she moved through the semicircle.
Each time placing her hand on someone's shoulder she guided their circulation with calm instructions.
Some needed only a moment.
Others took longer.
Elderic nearly lost control before she reached him.
His mana surged erratically like a storm.
Aesa placed her hand firmly on his shoulder.
"Stop resisting."
