First The Prologue

Chapter 3

"Now ayaka, we will begin your training now."

"Yes sir Herbert"

We enter this classroom where it pops out of nowhere.

Grandpa Herbert began the lecture of the topic we will discuss now and it was like a high tech way but in a magical way... A hologram!

"We will begin in mana and ki. It is simple if we look at both mana and ki because these two are both the same. Why do I say It is the same? The answer is these two are natural energy in our universe, still it is a mystery for the three of us where this energy originates but the good of this anything in our universe contains mana and ki."

"Humu humu..."

"Are you following what I'm saying?" Teacher Herbert asked

"Yes, it is simple and don't worry sir, I will let you know if I can't follow."

"Good I'm glad that you said that. Now I will resume our topic, although the qi and mana are alike, they have different uses. But it depends where you originate or what world/universe you came from. Just like me and Bing, he uses ki and mana for me. For example in our world we will now discuss Bing’s world. Qi is the main source of energy in their world, now this ki can make a strong body of a person not only that it is also the source of their power for their martial arts. They have storage known as dantian which is located in the belly and the groin, this is where the qi stored but it depends sometimes if it is located in your solar plexus or it has 3 separate parts. When you cultivate your ki dantian grows and when your dantian is destroyed most of the time they lose their cultivation and their martial arts. It can recover but it takes time, not only decades, it can reach centuries or even millennia, that is why it is critical for the martial artists. You can speed your recovery by eating pills, it is like medicine for the murim world. You can gain ki on this pill and also recover your body but according to bing Pill is such an expensive one it takes a lot of resources to make one. Some pills are dangerous because when in the making of it a person can die. For example if the materials used in making pills are dangerous it can affect the maker. Do you follow ayaka?"

"Yes!"

"Great! Now in my world this Mana is natural in our world from micro-organism to the planet itself have mana just like ki but unlike qi when you cultivate it makes you stronger. In my world it depends on how much mana is stored in your body and it always have discrimination when determining the person's mana stored. By the way, we stored our mana in our heart and brain and we used a mana circuit or our nerves to be able to cast magic just like a pipe you need to flow your energy in different parts of your body to cast a magic. Now according to Tom our world has a different Scale of magic which we do not have in our world but it is good to determine on what scale a mage achieves. Scale 1 to 5, The scale 1 this mana stored is much lower and many people possess it, Scale 2 is average you can control the flow of your mana and you can summon a magic but in a very limited way. Scale 3 in which I possess before I go to this world, you can wield your mana very well and can cast multiple types of magic. This is an above average type. Most of the people who possess such mana either be a scholar or Mage of the kingdom. Scale 4 It has a wide range of magic spells that can destroy a kingdom; only few people possess this and they can do chantless spells. Lastly Scale 5 A omnipotent being all of the spells known in our world can cast without any effort a being that is impossible to beat. Ranging from normal to divine/demonic spell the who above all and can rival God of our world. Only 1 person who possesses a Scale 5. Now just like cultivation do we have a similar technique to increase our mana capacity? Yes, we have also one but it is risky because you need to eat many plants and animals to gain more mana as in all ranging from normal to poisonous one. I don't know how many years equivalent now in my world but I hope people discover some way to increase one mana. I really hope that guy manage to do it now..."

"Who is that teacher?" I asked Teacher Herbert it feels like he has hope for this person.

"My Schoolmate's name is Xel Conqueror and before I went to this world he said that he will do anything to overcome the limitation of having a small mana in our body but he said that when we are only teenagers that time. Now that I am older I don't have news if he succeed or not." Grandpa Herbert had a sad face after he said that. Is it because Xel did not succeed or he doesn't have news to this guy?

"Now now teacher, what are the disadvantages of 2 energy?" I change the topic so that the mood is good.

:Well first the mana, you can't use magic without mana. That is a simple problem, another one is it has difficult magic and incantation. One wrong move can cost your life. For the ki is you will eventually lose the ki in the long run unlike mana you can borrow or absorb depending on type. Did I not say that you can absorb mana in your surroundings?"

"You don't, teacher..."

"HAHAHAHA, forgive me if I miss a crucial technique."

"No problem sir, I think Uncle tom and Grandpa Bing also mention this absorb thing"

"Also if you master mana and ki in different levels it can help you in different situations as long as you follow our methods" Teacher Herbert says this with a big smile on his face.

"Now we can end our lecture here and we can go outside of this portable classroom."

"Okay sir!"

Upon leaving this portable classroom Uncle Tom and Grandpa Bing greet us and ask if the lecture is good. After verifying that it went well they asked me to go outside of this place where they will make this place a great training ground.

I sat in the tree and wondered if the lecture had more to introduce or it was just short... and also I wonder if a murim person goes to the magic world what will happen? same with the magician who transported to the murim world. It also depends on what level they are in their respected world. I have deeply thought about this subject and I am now gazing at this blue sky. It is a great color with matching clouds... I also think if the war now in other regions is another hell for the people there.. I slowly shut my eyes while the cold breeze of the wind slapped my face. After that grandpa Bing woke me up to go to the house to have snacks.

"Uncle Tom, did the three of you finish your job?"

"Well we have other things to fix but before that we will eat up first because it is noon now. Also, can you cook?

"A little bit hehe"

" Oh that is great, also I am the one who will cook the lunch now so I need a helper. Do you mind helping me?

"No problem to me Uncle Tom."

We go to the kitchen while the two grandpa discuss what methods they are going to use. Meanwhile in the kitchen Uncle Tom wants to make a curry. After he decides on what he will make he goes to the storage and picks up the ingredients. After he picks them we do the prep. I wash and slice the ingredients and I follow Uncle Tom instructions. He is the one who manages to cut the meat and after that he starts to cook and I only watch him while he does the cooking. After he starts I also start to cook the rice, it takes 1 hour for both to be fully cooked and we assemble the table and eat. After a little break they head again to the portal while me staying again in the shade of a tree. 30 mins have passed and they finish their work and grandpa Bing led me to the portal. Upon entering my jaw almost drops because of how good it is, just like in anime!

"Now ayaka, this is your training ground but it is only a simulation. Are you ready?"

"Wait! can I calm myself first?" Excitedly saying it.

"Hahaha! okay take your time."

I patiently calmed myself because of how beautiful it is. I see their faces and they are proud of what they made. I wish I had my phone to picture this!

"I am ready!"

"Okay, we will go to the World Tree."

If I describe this simulation it is half fantasy world and murim world and I see the colors of the two where it is green and blue! In the middle it is the World tree, one is like a fantasy world and the other one is like Bonsai but bigger. What a nice place!

"Here in the World trees you will do meditation so that you can get the mana and ki. But we will get the first energy is Mana so we will lean in the Fantasy World to get Mana."

Huh? I thought I can't get mana because this is only a simulation? Did they forget it? This is suspicious...

"Ok sir!" I replied to Grandpa Herbert.

"Go to this spot where the Mana zone is located. By the way it is okay if you are bored of gathering Mana and eventually you will get used to it. So first relax your body and mind and blend it in the environment and the mana will naturally go to your body. That is why I am really happy that mana here is easy to gather!"

"Is it ok here in this spot Teacher?"

"Yes."

We correct my posture first for meditation and they are also the one who will fix my posture if mine is not good so I'm only gonna do is to meditate. Here it is my journey to become OP!

"..."

"...."

"....."

"......"

10 years later..

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Uhm.. I think your body is not suitable now to gather mana?"

"haha.. I think so Teacher Herbert.. Can I try qi first? I think it is easy to accumulate my energy hehe.."

"I agree to that! I think your body is suitable for martial arts, okay we will try again just like you do in gathering mana." The way Grandpa Bing says it has assurance.

"Ok sir!"

"..."

"...."

"....."

"......"

Another 10 years..

WHAT THE FUCK??? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!!
