It can be used when a mana vein is fractured or simply absent.

Therefore, your Majesty...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused and gave Francis a smirking glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot be eliminated for such reason, even if I need to say, that I DO have an opinion against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't done, as he lifted his head and stared directly into the Emperor's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Your Majesty, could you explain why I was disqualified, aside from the blatant favoritism towards the Royal Academy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment those words rang out, the atmosphere seemed to have turned even colder than before, the crowd started whispering to each other, having different opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But interestingly, both Evelyn and Empress Isabella seemed to be in accord with Aestrea's opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both looked at Aestrea with a look that was oddly approving, almost as if they understood exactly what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one dared to say anything out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor clenched his fists tightly as he noticed the public's reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His image had just declined, and if a journalist were present, they would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to further tarnish his reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ah... this useless Emperor. I had almost forgotten that he's in a pact with Lilith, the Succubus Queen.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like in every \"Hero against a Demon King\" novel, the Demon King had seven demon generals, each representing one of the seven deadly sins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of these generals was Lilith, who obviously embodied the sin of Lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early chapters, the author revealed tons of hints for the future, and one of them was about the Emperor's pact with Lith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Emperor Francis did not have relations with the Empress, Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella possessed what was called a \"Sanctified Soul,\" which could not be corrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if the Emperor were to engage in relations with her, he would suffer fatal consequences alongside Lilith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lilith only discovered that the Emperor was about to have relations with Empress Isabella, on the night of their marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the Emperor made a pact with Lilith, Aestrea hadn't read that part yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems that I'll be the one taking the job of getting his head.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea declared inwardly; he didn't know if in the novel, the Emperor was truly killed or his pact with Lilith was broken, but he honestly didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered various ways to escape in case he was declared a traitor or something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Aestrea's actions might have seemed reckless, he had already thought through all his options in case he truly offended the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of those options included fleeing to another kingdom or accepting the Headmistress of the Royal Academy's proposal, among other possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt confident based on the basic knowledge he had of the novel's plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"..........\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the emperor, he remained silent while thoughtfully gazing at Aestrea. It seemed that he was seriously considering his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll overlook this offense for now,\" Francis finally spoke, his voice booming across the arena with cold authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you challenge me again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glinted with a dangerous, murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't show mercy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea couldn't help but smirk inwardly at the Emperor's threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the competition...\" The Emperor's gaze swept over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The results will remain the same.

Be thankful. His Majesty has already forgiven you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aestrea froze for a moment, his anger still bubbling inside him, but Vivian's words made him pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at her and seeing the concern in her eyes.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed before nodding slightly, though his expression remained tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll make sure I'm the one getting your head.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, he wouldn't let this slide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching my hotel room, I immediately lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I honestly still had to go and meet up with the Saintess...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I was too mentally tired for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fought for I don't know how many hours straight and even created a Mana Vessel for my right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it's broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I need to meet the Saintess as soon as possible because I'll need her aid in healing my mana vein once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, the student exchange program... will be happening in a week or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I'll need to be attending the Eternum Royal Academy as one of their students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did I have to be the one being picked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm too lazy to deal with those arrogant pricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MASTER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumi's voice was suddenly much louder, snapping me completely out of my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, then blinked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I turned to look at her, only to find her standing there... completely naked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...!\" My face immediately flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell, Lumi?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced down at herself with an embarrassed look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My clothes...\" she said softly, realizing she was still in her usual naked state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then quickly looked back at me, clearly unsure how to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, right. I completely forgot,\" I muttered, rubbing my face in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time I transformed Lumi into a sword, her clothes would get torn apart in the process. It was something I was used to by now, but it still slipped my mind from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, I bought special mana strings for clothes, this way, the clothes wouldn't shatter the moment Lumi was transformed into a sword or a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just forgot to give them to Lumi...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a small sigh, I stood up and walked over to my drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've got something for you,\" I said, pulling out a set of clothes made from mana strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had even remembered to grab underwear, just in case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumi's face lit up, and she nodded excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasted no time, quickly starting to get dressed in her new clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those mana strings were really useful; it just needed a basic spell to clean them completely, and if she wanted to have different clothes, she just needed to insert mana while thinking about an outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, they were really expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, Lumi deserves the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master~, do I look cute?\" she asked, suddenly appearing right in front of me with a playful little jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spun around, showing off her new outfit with a huge smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help but smile back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lumi looks adorable.\" I gave her head a soft pat, unable to hold back a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~\" She giggled happily, her eyes shining with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just at that moment that I forgot about taking a bath. My eyes immediately turned to the bed and...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting a second, I immediately spammed clean magic on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lumi, I'm going to take a bath. You can play for now,\" I said, tapping her head twice before making my way to the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To my surprise, when I entered the bathroom, the bathtub was already filled with warm water, and a few scent flowers had been placed around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like someone had been thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Lumi had set it up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it just the hotel staff?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged and quickly undressed before stepping into the tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh... this feels great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water was really warm and felt thoroughly refreshing.
