They continued to go through the grasses and passed countless trees but the two still did not know where their destination was. Arisa looked anxious because she was being kept in the dark but what made her more irritable was that her supposed to be comrade seemed to not mind anything at all.How could he be so calm when they were roaming around a mountain with a trainer whom they just met yesterday? She knew that the wild animals in that mountain were nothing compared to the monsters in the dungeon, but she could still not understand why they have to climb a mountain if they were all aware that they could not possibly hunt there?“Mr. Roa?” Since she could not keep it in, Arisa took the courage to ask the old man. “May I know what are we doing here in the mountain?”“We’re going to a place where you can train freely.”Arisa sighed. She could not understand him. How could they train freely in a mountain? Was there even a place where they could train freely?She looked at Kane who seeme
Kane sighed. He already finished three repetitions of the exercises but he could still not finish a full circulation while exercising. The more he restarted, the more he felt that it was impossible for him. It was frustrating. He stood up as he finished his third 5-minute plank. He was panting and his body was drenched in sweat.He was just exercising but his constant practice of mana circulation was starting to take a toll in his body. After he stabilized his breathing, Kane went back to the exercise. He started with the squats again, but he took a break from trying to circulate mana. If he tried for the next two repetitions, he was sure to collapse even before he could ask what his next task would be.Compared to the first three repetitions, Kane finished the last two repetitions with less strain on his body. He stretched his body first before he went towards the old man who had been keeping an eye on both of them.“You just finished your first task? Do you have a weak body?”Kane s
It had been five minutes since the dagger started sucking his mana and the whole land around him was turned brown and it also started looking healthy. However, his mana pool was not even burned to half. He did not realize it before, but just how big was his mana pool?“Don’t deplete your mana too much,” Viktor warned him but he just looked at him with furrowed eyes.“I haven’t even released half of the mana that was stored in my body,” he mumbled.“What did you say?” Gavin had a surprised look on his face. “Can you adjust the strength of your mana release?”“I’ll try…” Though he was not sure why Kane did what Gavin asked him to do. He released his mana faster and he saw how small sprouts of grasses started to grow around the dagger.The grasses’ growth was too fast that it covered a lot of land in no time. By the time the barren land was covered in grass, Kane’s mana reserved was finally cut in half. He continued to pour mana into the dagger though he was already feeling better.“How
“Thank you for this.” He looked at the young boy and smiled. He put the glass of water on the side before he closed his eyes and shifted to sit in a lotus position.“Why don’t you take a rest first?” Gavin suggested when he realized that Kane was getting ready to circulate his mana.“The sooner we finish this, the better. I’ll just consider this as part of my training,” Kane answered without opening his eyes. He relaxed his body and soon enough he was drowned in the feeling of his mana circulating through his bloodstream.Gavin watched Kane and he could feel his mana being circulated around his body. In order to fill his mana pool again, He would need to circulate his mana and bring that circulated mana to his core. If he had a huge mana pool, just how long would he need to circulate his mana to fill it?“Is he all right?” A little girl asked Gavin as she peeked at the young man who helped in bringing back the nutrients in their barren land.“Yes. He is. He just needs to regain his st
Erin sighed when the professor dismissed them. She went out of the class, took out her phone, and waited for Xander outside his classroom while browsing the web.The Rising Star Joined the Rankers!She grimaced when she saw Gustav’s smiling face in that article. After Kane died, Gustav never showed his face to them again. Not that she minded, she was actually relieved that he was no longer chasing after them. She was aware that he was only interested in Kane, but how come he never visited during Kane’s funeral?“Bastard…”“Who?” Xander put a piece of chocolate in his mouth. “Are you calling me a bastard now?”“Why would I call you that?” Erin rolled her eyes. “Did you do well on the test?”“Of course! Have you forgotten that I am a genius?” Xander laughed. “Shall we go and celebrate? Let’s call your brothers too!”“My brothers? Even Ed?” Erin asked. Why would he invite those two?“You know, being alone with you is a little lonely. I mean I know that we had been together since we were
“Where are you going?” Keith, the first son of the Vasquez family, asked his younger brother who was pulling a piece of luggage towards the door.“Somewhere far from here and from the north.” Keiffer, the second son of the Vasquez family, replied with an annoyed face. “You’re just chosen because you were born first…”Keith chuckled. “We’re going to have a party later and yet you’re going somewhere far?”Keiffer felt the hairs on his nape stand because of his brother’s chilling voice. “So what? Go and celebrate. Just don’t expect me to celebrate with you!”He stormed out of the house and slammed the door closed. He immediately put his luggage inside his car and set off without even looking back. He was just going to cool his head off in the southwest. Why did he have to go out and ruin his mood?Keith just watched his brother’s car leave the mansion. Later that night, he would be formally announced as the heir of the Vasquez Family. He was lucky that he managed to strike while the othe
Kane woke up with a body ache the next morning. Though he expected that kind of pain, he could still not believe that it would be that painful when all he did was kneel down on a cracked land.He went to the secret place an hour before the schedule so that he could practice using his mana. Just like before, he still was not able to release his mana. Even when he tried doing it with the dagger that one of the village people gifted him, he still could not make it work.It was somehow frustrating because he wanted to feel the refreshing feeling of releasing his mana once more, but he still could not find out how. He sighed as he dropped his body onto the grassland. Nothing was more frustrating than wanting to do something but not knowing how to do it.“Where have you been yesterday? You did not come back after Sir Gavin took you,” Arisa asked when she saw Kane lying down on the grass.“He brought me somewhere to do something. After I did the task, I was so exhausted that I could not even
Kane was not sure how it happened but he was sure he slept with a tired body. He did not know how he was able to wake up all refreshed. He arrived in the secret place an hour earlier again and instead of trying to circulate the mana that he would not even use during training, he started reflecting from day one. He had been there for a few weeks but it felt like he had been there for a long.He dropped himself to the grass and closed his eyes. His new life was better, right? If he could talk to the old Kane who lived that life that he had forgotten, would he feel envious? Would he be happy for him?“You’re early again today, Kane,” Arisa commented. “And why are you lying down on the grass again?”“Mind your own business.” Kane closed his eyes and felt the cool breeze in contrast with the warm graze of sunlight.“You’re really a snob, aren’t you?”Kane ignored her. It was the last day of their unreasonable training. He was hoping that once they were officially in the specialized trainin
