Leo went inside the spatial ring once more, and went straight to the old demon.
"What did you mean when you said I should go back to the Red Dragon Trials when I properly reach World Energy Fusion Realm?".
"Oh that, I just said that so you won't challenge it the instant you reach World Energy Fusion Realm. It would've been such a waste".
"Why would it be, is it because the robots are stronger than before or something else?"
"You'll know when you do it again, but I advice you to at least reach level nine of World Energy Fusion".
Leo sighed and just said "Fine, I'll prepare myself for it".
"Oh right how exactly do I increase the level of my realm?"
"Oh that's easy, you'll just have to make more of those energy spheres. The total amount will be your level, and to breakthrough to the next realm you have to combine every energy sphere in your body".
"Wait isn't that going to be really hard?"
"No it won't be too hard, it's only going to be excruciatingly painful".
Leo's eyebrows twitched.
'Not that hard you say! why don't do it yourself... oh wait he did'.
Leo left the Rewards Hall and went to the cultivation building, I'll try out that level increase thing.
He sat cross-legged on the center of one of the rooms, and started cultivating.
Leo felt like he was a black hole, and he could feel all the World Energy inside the room. Leo couldn't help but feel amazed at how comfortable he felt, and he continued to form another big Energy sphere.
When he finished he felt like something was missing, a few seconds passed and Leo remembered what it was. Leo had to remember it the hard way though, as he felt like he was being pricked with needles all over his body.
Unlike last time though, Leo didn't need to bite his tongue to stay awake. He wasn't a stranger to pain anymore, this just proved how useful training in that virtual ga... *cough *cough I mean virtual reality.
Five minutes passed and the worst part of cultivation has come to an end.
Leo tried to stand up, but he didn't have any left strength in his legs so he quickly fell down. Enduring such pain used up most of his strength.
A minute passed and Leo quickly stood up again, this time he took a battle stance. He used his flames and was surprised to see that it had become stronger and felt hotter than before.
Leo then sat cross-legged once more and decided to study the phrase that came with the skill Dance Of The Red Dragon.
[Become one with the world, the flames and everything that comes with it]
'What does this simple phrase mean, do I ignore the "With the world" and "Everything in it" parts?'.
'What does become one with the flames mean?'.
It took Leo exactly ten minutes to think of something.
"Well it's better than nothing".
Leo summoned a ball of fire and studied it's movements.
Leo got bored after three minutes and just went back to the real world, unknown to him he was going the right track.
Fred immediately shot a question at Leo when he noticed his presence.
"Where did you go?".
"Nowhere".
"As your bodyguard I must know where you go at all times to keep you safe".
"Oh come on, I know that the bodyguard thing is just an excuse. So why don't you tell me the real reason why you were sent here"
Fred decided to say half the truth, "I came here to study just like you".
"I guess my hunch was right, by the way. Did you check if your uniform fits?"
"Why are you trying to dodge the question?"
"What question?"
Fred clenched his fists, and didn't dare continue to ask.
'I just have to catch him in the act'.
The two went to the cafeteria and ate, an hour later they slept. Everything went normally and Fred kept glancing at Leo, he wanted to know how he vanished.
The whole night passed and nothing special happened, Leo slept like a baby while Fred didn't have a wink of sleep.
"That was the most comfortable sleep I've ever had this past few months", Leo saw Fred's condition and decided to ask "What happened?".
"Isn't it obvious, I couldn't sleep".
"Why not? even though the beds are so soft and comfortable".
"It's nothing".
They tidied themselves and went to the cafeteria, there they saw the other six outstanding students.
One had slightly darker skin, red hair, and yellow eyes. His uniform was black in color, with strokes of red on it's sleeves.
Another one was a male with a skin that was neither dark nor white, he had blue hair, and blue eyes. Behind him was one of the six outstanding students, and they looked the same. Only their gender was different, one male and one female. The female had long blue hair. The male had the uniform for that of an Enhancer's and a the female had the one for Emitters.
A female with mint green hair, ocean blue eyes, and a slightly darker skin tone. Her uniform was that of an Emitter's.
Another male had blonde hair, ocean blue eyes, pale white skin, and a rather short proportion. He was wearing the uniform for Emitters.
A demi-human on the side was waving at Leo and Fred. She had Emerald green hair and eyes, pale white skin, and a rather petite proportion. She wore the uniform for Enhancers.
Leo and Fred walked towards Sandra at a slow pace.
"Walk faster you two", said Sandra while standing behind a long line.
Time passed and they quickly got to an empty table.
"So Leo, what group are you classified as?", said Sandra while glancing at Leo's peculiar uniform.
Leo proudly answered, "Oh it seems I was classified as part of the third group".
"What's the third group?"
"The World Energy Masters, Fred here told me that it's the group for people that can both use the powers of an Enhancer and Emitter".
The other people that were sitting on a table besides them were dumbstruck when they heard Leo.
"Oh that sounds awesome", said Sandra.
"By the way Fred, why are you so tired. Do you want to join me and sleep in class Fred?".
"I don't think I should".
"The classes are all about boring stuff you know".
