Ren turned to the man and bowed respectfully, and after this surprising gesture, he walked out. He could already see that this school had a harsh aura. So even if he didn't say bald man, he wouldn't have shown these tablets to anyone.
Holding only the house key in his hand, he stored everything in the ring, including the rest of the bag. No one was paying attention to what he was doing, but he didn't want even Ezra to know about the ring, so he got it right before he left the door.
He whispered "goodbye" while bowing quickly to the girl and set off like a firecracker to find his home. He felt the girl's gaze behind him, but realized that the girl wasn't following him.
"We could have gotten closer to you if it weren't for cancer in my chest and a string of bad luck that followed me in my ass. You're beautiful and sweet, but…destiny."
..
After energizing the tablet, an image appeared in his mind as if he knew where the house was. The sense of ownership and all the information of a house he had stayed in for years was filling his head. He smiled when he suddenly realized that he could walk as if he were going home several times a day. His theory was correct.
The difference between knowing the feeling of something and not knowing it was very important! And in some cases it was possible to transmit or artificially create feelings with magic.
Feelings could carry knowledge, but knowledge could not carry feelings. While you can't become a magician in a day just by reading the information in a book, someone who knew the feeling could do it in minutes.
Ren had the feeling of owning this new home now, too, and with the feeling, he was filling his mind with everything he needed to know about the house one by one.
He knew he was allowed to grow plants in the front of the house or in his backyard, or even had to push a little hard as he opened the door. It was a simple two-room one-bed place with an extra spare room as a workspace. There was a large carpet on the floor that covered the entire area. And he had a single-door pantry in the house where he could put his groceries.
While looking at the students walking from everywhere to the other side, he occasionally saw small and sometimes older people like him. But since age and strength were not directly related, he couldn't tell who was influential and how much they had power.
When he finally got to the house on the south side, he could see that there were many more houses around his house. There were little buildings like this all over the place. Except for the main square, the south, east and west sides were like this on all 3 sides. To the north was the inner court section and the temple where the main disciples lived. The comfort and level of the houses there should have been many times higher than the small stone houses here.
"Open," Ren said, surprised that he didn't need to do anything to open the door. And the door was suddenly unlocked and wide open. He walked in and inhaled the scent of his home as if he had lived for years.
He felt comfortable and in an environment of his own.
But before he could do anything, he actually tried to open the door to the next room inside. And he forcefully pushed open the door.
"Really, feelings can carry information. Very interesting information indeed."
He found that the bed had such an irresistible attraction. He couldn't sleep all night, so he closed the door behind him and threw himself on the bed. He spent the longest and most comfortable night of his life that day.
...
Waking up, he stretched freely and moved to regain himself. He watched the morning outside through the small glass made as a window.
He slept for a whole day!
But it wasn't surprising either. After traveling for 3 days until he came to Cloud City, he arrived at school without waiting and endured a few hours of sleep in total.
Wasting no time, he pulled out the rule book and began to read.
Once a month, dantian and energy pills were distributed to each student. Even though a month seemed like enough, it wasn't, as it took a long time for level 1 and level 2 to use them. From the 3rd level, especially the dantian of mages could store a lot of energy, and their energy absorption rate was increasing many times over. While the difference between the 2nd and 3rd level was already huge, the differences at the 4th, 5th and 6th levels were unbelievable.
When Ren learned that he had to learn the 9 techniques that Nuren wrote before going to level 6, Ren did not know this information exactly, but now he understood.
Ren read in his rulebook that students are only allowed to fight among themselves in certain areas. The exchange of alchemy materials for energy tablets as money or directly for pills horrified Ren.
"Then what about the crates of gold I brought with me??!"
Ren made up his mind to dwell on the subject as he wondered if there were any commercially useful items in the ring's ingredients. Then he closed the book full of such details and set it aside to read the rest.
He looked around and thought about the things he was wondering about. She was torn between going out and staying at home. But he did like the stone house a little. It was so peaceful to have his own sweet-little space.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate on energy.
He was drawing energy for 20 minutes and resting for a few minutes and continuing without a break. This whole cycle went on for days.
He paused every now and then when he was bored. He was pulling food out of the crates he had stored in the space inside the ring. There was plenty of dry food, especially meat and drinking water.
A week passed like this.
Until he realizes that he cannot pass the hunger he feels in his stomach with dry food.
He got up and took the book to look out the window to see where to find food. It was written in the book that different standards of food were sold in different places. The lowest tiers were housed in a small building he passed as he climbed the mountain. Here, in the outer training section, it was possible to find food up to the intermediate level. And these were bought with energy tablets instead of money.
Ren wondered if it would be dangerous to go outside as he was so low level right now. But since he always ate the same things, he started to have trouble even going to the toilet.
He gave the order to open the door. "Open!"
Even though it was very cold outside, it wasn't cold to the bone. Ren walked, grateful for the warmth of the sun overhead.
He saw that there were students sitting around at various points, talking and staring at him if they didn't care. But none of them looked like they were going to do anything dangerous. Maybe it was because Ren was level 1, but Ren wasn't sure either.
Because anyone who has not passed the third level cannot tell the level of the people around them just by looking. Ren wondered how these children were able to make up their minds about it.
He entered the new student building he had previously entered in the round main area, which was called the square, and found the bald man in the same way. In front of the old man was a very thick book this time.
"I needed energy tablets to eat. When are you going to distribute the energy tablets?"
"One week," the man said without even raising his head.
Despite being handed out once a month, Ren was lucky to only have one week left. Taking two servings of tablets in half a month would be good for Ren's development.
He entered another building in the square. This building is commercially the "Arc", the only market students can have. Ren saw another green-robed youth working in the shop. He exchanged the two energy tablets he had in his hand and took one of the energy pills with one and took as much fruit as possible with the other.
He wanted to store everything he had bought in the ring in order to return home without wasting any time. But for people to know that he had a storage stone was to write his death warrant. That's why he didn't rush. He put the important things under his clothes and left only a few pieces of fruit in the bag he was holding.
Thieves, murderers, and sinister persons awaited at every corner until he entered the house. But he was afraid in vain. No one even looked at him in a weird way. Nothing happened.
Setting aside what he brought home, Ren picked up a small pill he had traded from the Arc.
This is exactly what was written in the book.
*Energy pill: Also known as Spirit Stone.
It is at its weakest, rendered suitable for low-level Cultivators by disintegrating and weakening Spirit Stones. It can be found pure in nature. But low level mages can't absorb this wild and pure energy, so it must be weakened. All the Energy Pills available in the Awei School are carefully created by the school's teaching staff. Be careful when using and don't waste them unnecessarily!
Not knowing how effective this stone-like thing was, Ren curiously popped it into his mouth and began to meditate. He hoped to become a second-level mage soon.
