When I came to my senses, I was again in a forest. But this time it wasn't the Crimson Red Forest with the rude trees that could talk. Here was everything fresh green. It seemed isolated and far distanced from the junk piece of a cage. There were no flowers nor trees here. Hills were here as something like a wall. At the end of the day I still feeled trapped inside a cage. Here was I know, trying to distract myself from the fear of being absorbed in a short amount of time. Before I could train I needed to find 'Master'. At that time I think everybody would doubt that a 8-year-old girl could teach you something about yourself. To be precise your entire species! But I already knew that she wasn't an ordinary girl you could find here. She claimed to be a Master Spirit. I don't know what that is, but it seemed to be strong.
After a while....
Finally she made her appearance! It took me hours to wait here, but she strolls here around as if nothing happened! The girl walked closer and closer and as our distance was only roughly 5.5 feet (roughly 165 centimeters) she used again that angel's voice of her to explain everything to me:' Okay you can call me Puncella Radem Treor. Or short just Puncella! What is your name boy?'. I tried to get an answer but all I can say was:' Dear Lady Puncella I don't even know my name. Just call me what you want.'. Then she started to speak again and told me:' Okay from this day forward I will call you Ereadim. But once you die you won't need your name. Now the main reason why I called you here is I wanted to tell you something Ereadim. You hear, there is a ranking in the Spirits strength. Don't forget that okay? Or I will eat you right away.

Don't forget that please!' I started to realize what she meant. I wanted to try something out but in the end nothing happened so far. Lady Puncella noticed that I tried to learn which 'Grade' of a Spirit I am. Then she again spoke and said directly to me:' You can stop now Ereadim. Without a technique you won't come far that way. I can tell just by looking at you that you are a at most a Middle Tier Spirit. Before I can teach you magic I need you to learn the basics of everything. You should know that Spirits are the weakest creatures in existence! Even trees can be stronger than us! But we have the longest lifespan and the best talented here.'. Somehow I understood where exactly she was coming from. As a Spirit we couldn't have real bodies and just created something that was close to a real one. She continued to speak and with that I listened to her again:' You know now the tiers of Spirits. But if a Spirit would encounter another lifeform of the same tier there's just one thing for you left to do. RUN! Run as fast as you can! To this day there's no Spirit in our history that survived the attacks of lifeforms on the same tier.'
This fact stunned me completely. I was thinking that I could fight against the Heaven or Earth if I became a Elemental God Tier Spirit. But know I just wanted to became something whole levels above that so I wouldn't need to worry about that. But Lady Puncella could again read my thoughts. She came now really closely to my face and with that she told me:' Do you know what happens if a Spirit for example and Elemental God had to much Magic Energy in its soul stored? Do you know it? Even if you are weak the strongest would burst with a loud bang! Back when I was younger my father trained me. I could tell that he was strong. He was also trying to overcome the hurdle of gods and wanted to be stronger than everyone in order that no one would dare to look down on our race. But one day when he suddenly became so strong at the evening... He... He... He died... He was completely... Blown into pieces... Just like that! sob... sob... sob... sob.... '. When I saw the young girl crying in front of me I wanted to comfort her and tell her that I would be careful and wouldn't let that happen. But then I asked myself: What are you doing you fool! You should wake up from your tiny world where you can protect everybody and can make children smile. You know better than anyone that this old Lady Puncella here is no child! How dare you pitying an old woman! You should start to know that she will kill you soon... No! You are wrong! I prove her and you that you are both wrong! I can't make her smile? Why? Is it not allowed? I know that she is very old, so what? Does that mean she has no right to smile? Kill me right? I prove her that I'm of great worth and she wouldn't do herself a favor if she were to dispose of me! Here came the voice again: If you are killed so I am. Listen to me you fool! You can kill her now that she is not on guard! KILL HER! In my mind I just ignored that voice and started to speak to Lady Puncella again. 'Lady Puncella are you alright? I'm here and willing to listen or I can also leave and do some training on my own to help you.'. Puncella knew in that moment that I was teasing her to not think about her father. She replied a bit rough but I knew what she meant at that time:' You weak boy without a name want to help me? Dont get to full of yourself! Here I show you a training method and you just repeat that for 2 months okay?'. I watched her closely when she was doing that method. All she did was empty her Magic Energy in her soul and fill the environment with it. Then she sucked it up again and had more than before. I did the same thing but I had way less than before. Puncella then mentioned:' Each time you don't have less Energy than before you train phisically! And don't slack off or I'll kill you!' And with that my hell of training finally really began!
