G. Chapter 08
Ira Clan Ancestor understood the worries of Impu.
There is no world without wars.
The present world seems peaceful. But it's just an illusion.
The last war was disturbing and depressing.
That war was weird in a sense.
Humans, Beasts, Demons and every other race fought for a weapon in humanoid shape.
That Weapon was given Divine Will.
That Weapon came to life.
They thought it would just be a fight among them for that weapon.
Who knew ? The moment that weapon came to life it's like a whole new race was born.
It escaped from them after its birth.
Then it returned with an army.
They had to fight a great army of weapons.
That was a terrible war.
They hadn't thought much of those weapons in the start.
But the war spread throughout the Universe.
At the beginning countless lives were lost in the hands of those machines.
Before they had a solution nearly one tenth of their forces was lost.
Every race had a hard time.
Mages had to give up on their most powerful attack spells to concentrate on defending their allies .
Swords and spears had a hard time facing their full metal bodies.
Those machines main focus is long range attacks,
Those machines are faster than archers and the rest.
But Body Cultivators had the most difficult time. Their armours and their strong bodies couldn't stop the piercing bullets of those machines.
Even before they could heal with their regeneration ability, bullets rained on them.
Only Emperor Realm and God Realm Body cultivators had a better time.
The weirder thing was Emperor Realm and God Realm cultivators of Body Cultivation had a better chance against those machines than many other cultivators!
And the body cultivators below Emperor Realm and God Realm are like a target practice for the machines.
The weirdest thing was the birthplace of those machines and weapons is from the brains of those talentless humans whose only choice is Body Cultivation!
Those people introduced machines in this Universe run by magic energy.
Ira Clan Ancestor understood the worries of Impu.
Without reaching Saint Body Realm or Emperor Body Realm, Hosa's life will always be in danger in this world where he can be killed by a cheap illegal weapon.
.
.
Impu was against revealing the identity of Hosa.
He demands Hosa should complete University by hiding his identity.
He wants Hosa to reach Saint Body Realm safely and at the same time have an understanding of the outside world.
If his grandson is with them they can't force him too much in cultivation.
Even if Hosa's identity is revealed when he enters University and pressure on him increases because of his history and failures.
Hosa won't care about those with his family backing him.
But if he's on his own and in a competitive environment, Hosa will be forced to deal with that pressure.
Even if the University has an extreme competitive environment, safety of Hosa's life can be assured there.
Even if it slows down Hosa's Body Cultivation, he wants Hosa to cultivate magic so that he can also use Magic artifacts. Those magic artifacts can defend and save his life.
.

"Come with me", Ira Clan Ancestor gestured to Hosa to follow him.
Hosa followed without questioning.
.
.
"Do you dislike magic?", Ira Clan Ancestor asked Hosa as they were walking.
"No, I don't dislike magic", Hosa replied immediately.
"Your grandfather said you feel magic is boring and hate reading books on magic. Is it true?", Ira Clan Ancestor turned and asked him.
"Yes", Hosa replied sincerely. There's no way the ancestor can't detect if he's lying.
Ira Clan Ancestor nodded. " At least you won't feel awed when you look at those showy spells"
" That aside, why don't you like swords and other weapons?", Ira Clan Ancestor asked him with curiosity. Just because a person is a Body Cultivator doesn't mean they dislike using weapons. There are many Body Cultivators who use heavy weapons and spears. But he heard Hosa isn't interested in any weapon and hates to use them.
"I can't feel any excitement when using a weapon. I can only enjoy it while using my fists and legs. At most I will wear gloves for safety", Hosa said honestly.
"Then why don't you add magic to your punches and kicks?", Ira Clan Ancestor asked Hosa with a smile.
"I don't want to cultivate magic just for a strengthening spell. Moreover with a stronger strengthening spell you will also lose the feel of a touch. Without that feeling fights aren't worth it!", Hosa shook his head.
Ira Clan Ancestor shook his head, " That's not what I mean.
See you got it all wrong with magic.
With true magic you don't lose the feel.
When you fight, you can feel every punch and you won't lose that feel of hitting the flesh", he then raised his palm, his palm was covered in scorching red flames,"This Fire Hands is just a second level fire spell. And now it has the power of a seventh level spell. In my hands this Fire Hands can reach the power of a God level spell and kill an Emperor Realm Cultivator. Can you guess why?", he asked Hosa.
Hosa could feel a sharp rise in temperature. He felt uncomfortable. He took a few steps back.
"More pure magic energy?", Hosa replied after a short thought.
"Tch,Tch" Ira Clan Ancestor shook his head.
He neared Hosa with his fire hands.
"You can feel the heat right?", Slowly the temperature decreased, but the colour of the flames didn't change. "Now do you feel the decrease in the heat?"
Hosa nodded.
"See it's the same in magic. Feeling. I can feel the same heat as you do. But this heat can't harm me. Do you know why? Because the same magic energy I use to create it, protects me from burning myself.
The more heat I imagine the higher the temperature of the flames will be. But do you know what happens if a mage imagines and creates a flame beyond his control without the sense of feel?" Ira Clan Ancestor asked him.
"Backlash, gets burned?", Hosa hesitated as he gave an answer.
"That's right! If you imagine that flame with less heat then it's not a big backlash, you'll just consume more energy. But it's trouble if you imagine a flame with more heat than you can bear.
Feeling and Imagination are the core of Magic!
You need to get adapted to the feeling of the things you imagine.
You mess with both of them and those magic spells become silly.
Those strengthening spells you knew. Let's forget about them" Ira Clan Ancestor shook his head.
"You have Divine Grade Magic Vessels and have affinity to all elements. Your sensitivity to magic is extremely high. Let me show you true magic spells to increase your strength.
Feel the magic that flows through you" as he said that he sent a flow of magic into Hosa's hand. Hosa felt some changes in his hands.
