" Let's do it now".Harrison looked thoughtfully at Derrick." Are you sure?". He asked." Hundred percent". Derrick answered.Harrison nodded. He admired Derrick's determination."Since you're that certain I reckon we can begin your awakening now".He went to the wall behind the tree and tapped it three times. A part of the wall slid open revealing a small space inside. He stretched his hand inside and took something out. It was a bottle. It looked just like the bottle for the synthetic fluid except this one was not green, it was a clear blue color. He brought it to Derrick," Drink this. I normally don't do this but since you're a special case I don't see why not".Derrick took the bottle from him and drained it in one gulp.Whoosh! Derrick's eyes opened wide. This feeling! He could feel his mind opening. This was just like the synthetic fluid except that it only affected his mind and was amplified a hundred times." As of now you should feel your mind relaxed.

" And where would that be now?".Derrick knew that there was no way the Martial Arts Training Headquarters was in Burrin. He liked new places but anywhere away from would be too different for him to endure. For one he had never left Burrin once in his life. Though the country was not perfect, he was content living here." The Headquarters is in Starlight City". Harrison answered.Starlight City was the city with the most population in the most powerful country in the world, Azhar which also served as a continent of its own. This was the first among the five major world powers. It stood as the pioneer of mankind's development from the ancient times. " From your expression, I guess you're not too keen on going anywhere but I just have to tell you. That's always how it's been. Our Martial arts training center is just a side branch of the main thing in Starlight City. Our main job is to produce first-stage martial apprentices.

Fate's Eternal Foe Dreadful Artist
Derrick waved at Agnes as he left the front doors of the center after which he entered his car and drove into the road. Per normal there was a long line of slow-moving cars on the road. He smiled wryly, " Why is there always a hold-up?."It was around 6 pm, it was late and everyone was trying to get home from work. This period was called the 'Rush Hour', describing the period everyone rushed home from wherever they went during the day.Derrick relaxed in his seat and recapped everything that had happened today. It was a very interesting day. He had first found out he had reached his limits before he fought those children at the challenge. After which Harrison took him to break through to the martial apprentice stage, of which he had broken into the second stage almost immediately. It was surprising how many things happened in just one day. The car in front of Derrick moved forward a bit and Derrick stepped on the accelerator and also moved forward. This was going to repeat itself f
Fate's Eternal Foe The President
Derrick got up from the chair and took out a yoga mat from his room. He laid it floor in front of the television and sat crosslegged. He was a little nervous as he had drunk the synthetic fluid yesterday which aided him to enter a trance. Its effects had already faded from his body by now and he was going to be entering a trance unaided this time. He closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and searched for that state. Not surprisingly, the grey outlines of his surroundings soon showed in the vision of his mind's eye. The only difference this time was that he did not feel the overwhelming effects of the synthetic fluid that he felt last time. He was still able to enter it just as easily as the last time though. He looked around and smiled wryly. There was a stark difference in the spiritual energy amount here compared to the one at the martial arts training center. The amount of spiritual energy here was in sparse amounts. So small that there might have just been nothing here at all.
Fate's Eternal Foe The Dixt Tree has what?
" Alright. This has been bothering me for some time now. In what possible way can I stay in the meditation state while I go about my normal daily activities?".Derrick crossed his fingers and looked at the president hopefully. He was on tight ropes and really needed help.The president's eyes narrowed and he suspiciously scanned Derrick. Why would a newbie martial apprentice need something like that? At his stage?It was impossible. " And why would you want that at this your present level?". He asked.Harrison too was confused. Why would Derrick want something like that and with such urgency? It was like wanting to ride a bicycle after just learning how to crawl. He stared at Derrick weirdly.Derrick exhaled. He had expected this. He knew no one would just give him the answers without wanting to know why he needed them. He had hoped to bamboozle Harrison into not asking for the reason, but the minute he had seen the president he had rushed into asking him and it seemed like the pre
Fate's Eternal Foe Divine Senses
The President was still talking when Derrick turned to him and said." I'm really sorry, I just remembered an urgent thing I need to do. I need to get going"." But wait! This......". The President started, but Derrick had already run off past the front door and entered his car. It revved immediately and zoomed off from the Martial Arts Center." Why would he? Ugh....this boy". The President uttered in confusion. He did not understand why Derrick would run off like that without waiting for his explanation." Anyway". He shrugged and went back into the center.Derrick's mind raced as his car sped on the surprisingly free road. When he got home he flung his backpack into a corner and immediately brought out his yoga mat. He sat crosslegged and started meditating.His heart pounded in excitement and his body shook uncontrollably causing his focus to shake which almost brought about his eviction from the grey world." I need to calm down". He thought as he regulated his breathing, and for
Fate's Eternal Foe The Search
Golden rays of sunlight shone on the bed of leaves in a forest clearing through the gaps in the trees that created an overhead shade with their branchesA small squirrel poked its tiny head out of a crevice in one of the larger trees. It looked around furtively before squeezing back into the dark hole. After a few seconds, it came out with its mouth stuffed with nuts. It swiftly climbed down the tree and crossed the clearing towards another tree. Suddenly it's ears perked up and it stopped in the middle of the clearing. It listened for a moment before turning immediately and disappearing in a flash.VROOM!!! A car engine roared as a red-coated car drove aggressively into the clearing while throwing the fallen leaves into the air. The car came to a stop in front of one of the trees and the door opened. Derrick climbed out of the car and breathed in the fresh forest air." Ahh!!! Such fresh air!". He exclaimed.He took a short look at his surroundings, before heading into the forest.

Library
Very early the next day, Derrick climbed up the stairs of the library with bright eyes. He had been dreaming of the library throughout the whole night. He could not wait to read all the books there. The guards were the same ones as the day before and they only glanced at Derrick perfunctorily as he passed through the doors of the library.The expected scene of towering shelves filled with ancient books and a mystical air was not what greeted Derrick as he entered. Instead, there was a small plain room with a high desk at the end. At the sides of the desk were two doors. One was closed while the other revealed a spiral staircase leading upwards. A middle-aged man sat at the desk. His face was sallow and he had a pale complexion. His ragged brown hair hid behind his high crown which made him look like he was balding.The man looked at Derrick drowsily and asked in a tired voice." What level are you?"" First Stage apprentice".The man dragged his right hand across the desk so it was p

WristCon
Outside the fighting hall.The two men had already walked some meters away when Jason turned to Derrick. An apologetic look on his face." Uhm, about what just happened. I'm sorry I got you involved. If I knew he was still in there I would not have brought you here". Derrick continued walking forward without answering and Jason eventually followed. After some minutes of silent walking, Derrick looked at the young boy at his side whose bored expression made it really hard to know his true emotions. " Did you challenge him or did he challenge you?". Derrick asked suddenly."Huh?". Jason was startled. " Oh, right. He challenged me. Until this morning I was higher than him in the rankings. Since he learned a spear art he has been moving upwards steadily. The guy you saw him defeat was just above me".Derrick raised his eyebrows slightly, " What spear art?"." I was going to tell you about that later. It's a martial technique. You can find martial techniques in the library. There's a se

Ranking Challenge
Jason looked at the state of Derrick's belongings, shook his head, and sighed. He closed the door behind himself and walked to his corner." Wait for me. I'll be out in a minute". He told Derrick as he entered the bathroom.Derrick furrowed his brows " Why should I wait for you?". He asked loudly." Just wait. There are some things you need to know". Jason's voice called out from the bathroom.Derrick was a little puzzled by Jason's request, but he waited anyway. He was unfamiliar with this place and would appreciate any new information.After some minutes, Jason came out of the bathroom with white steam rising from his body. He picked up some new clothes and wore them before turning to Derrick." You just arrived at the academy and you don't know much, but it's a rule for the roommate of the newcomer or the nearest person around to show them how things are run in the academy". " But, a guide already showed me around when I arrived". Derrick pointed out.Jason dismissively waved his

Roommate
Derrick picked up the manual Edgar had given him. The man had emphasized it so much that it would be a little foolish not to read it.And Derrick needed to know what was going to happen from here. Edgar did not behave like a guide at all and just left him with vague guidance. Derrick himself was too lazy to ask the man anything. Since there was a handy book here that did not require him to associate with anybody, why not?He started reading the manual. Its content was pretty easy to understand. Derrick had just found out that this organization was called the Martial Arts Training Academy. Not headquarters. He had Harrison and the president to blame for that. The first few lines consisted of the rules of the academy which were, to be honest, a little too few. The rules were just saying; that you can have all the freedom you want. Just don't cause any trouble outside the academy or you'll face the consequences yourself while the academy looks on with arms folded. The rules also sa

Lousy Guide
" Hahaha! Starlight City baby!". Derrick carried his backpack out of the airport's gate and greedily inhaled the fresh airFinally, he was out of Burrin. It was so refreshing. "Phoo! This place is chilly!". Derrick rubbed his shoulders as he shivered. He wore skimpy clothes while traveling. It was not that he did not know that Starlight City had by far a lower degree than Burrin. He knew perfectly well, but Derrick had presumed that since he had become a martial artist he could be immune from the cold. Now it seemed like he was a little naive in his thinking. His body was only stronger than a normal person's own, and he could endure harsh weather better. But that did not mean that he was immune to cold.However, it was not a problem. He just had to circulate a bit of energy and he could get rid of the cold.He circulated his internal energy to get rid of the cold before activating his meditation state while praying strongly that the spiritual energy in Starlight City was not scar

Leaving.
In the parking lot of the Martial Arts Trainee Center...The president of the martial arts training center stood outside in the front park with Harrison. It was around ten am in the morning and their faces looked a little unpleasant, they had been standing there for a long time while waiting for Derrick. Till now there was no sign of him." That Derrick is really strange, isn't he? For two weeks he has not smelt this place, even though we left full use of the Dixt tree for him. What's more, is that he even has the nerve to keep us waiting for two hours!. Harrison, did you not text him yesterday to remind him of the time?". The president complained bitterly." I did text him yesterday. He told me he would be here. And If I remember correctly, I think he said that the energy around the Dixt tree was exhausted. What's this about letting him have full access to it? Maybe I heard wrongly." Harrison replied as he looked at the president with a strange gaze." Cough... Cough... Nevermind t

Level Up
Derrick sat crosslegged in the crack and watched as his internal energy rapidly filed up. With the amount of spiritual energy outside and the speed with which he was absorbing them, he had almost reached the peak of the martial apprentice third stage. Before long his internal energy reached the limit and he could not absorb any more spiritual energy. He then paused to observe the state of the spiritual energy outside. Though he had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy it hardly affected the amount outside, because he noticed that as soon as he absorbed the spiritual energy the spiritual stone mine would disperse some more to fill that up. " That's just great! I can continue to break through without any worries".He directed his senses to his internal energy,"Condense".As in his other breakthroughs, the internal energy in his body all gathered up into a small drop of liquid energy. This time the color changed from normal green to dark green.Immediately, that feeling of bloated stre

Killing the Leopard
A tall man with dark hair jumped down from a large rock in the forest. His clothes were shredded with burn marks on them. This was Derrick. He had started looking for the leopard. He had searched for a while now, but he had not still found it. " Even with those injuries that shithead still managed to run so far. It sure is impressive". marveled at it's tenacity. He wondered what stage the leopard was. It looked like this spiritual mine had just opened because he had not yet found any animal like the leopard around. It seemed after it became strong, it chased away all other animals so it could monopolize the mine." That stingy shit!".Derrick had a great hatred for the leopard. In his two lifetimes, this was the closest he had come to death by another's hand. If not for his exaggerated healing prowess, he would be the midnight snack for that beast. The first time he had noticed healing was when he had those injuries from the sea storm. But it was not as fast as today's own. Duri

The Large Leopard
Starlight City, Martial Arts Academy.Edgar looked at the pile of files on his table and sighed.The number of geniuses was dwindling every year. He just finished registering almost a thousand new apprentices and there were only five individuals that caught his attention.The age-long war against the mutated animals was still in full motion without any signs of stopping. The mutated animals had been growing stronger with each year, and experts arose every day from there. But the humans have been declining in quality. Hardly any genius to be seen year in year out.Knock!The sound of a knock jolted him from his ruminations." Come in".The door opened and a tall woman entered. She wore a white body-hugging suit which made her figure prominent. Her black hair was packed in a bun, and her face had only a slight touch of makeup. She had an air of seriousness and her face was stiff. She carried a white file which she dropped on Edgar's table. " We just received this from the application
