Gabri could feel that Alex was different in his own way, but he could not tell what. He was the most talented here, but Alex still treat him indifferently as if he was only a normal boy. Something on him told Gabri to listen to what Alex says.
On that day, they all got new st of clothes and a box with a book and a stone. Then, they all were told to go to their rooms. The rooms were like little apartments, and four disciples lived in one apartment together. The rooms were extremely small and had only a place to sleep and meditate. Everything else, like bathrooms or kitchens, were shared by a lot of disciples-
Alex and Gabri had the same apartment number, so they were together. When they arrived there, nobody was in the room, but it was clear that other lived there too.
"It seems like all the necessary things are here, that is good." Alex said after scanning the room.
On the other side, Gabri was a little bit disappointment: "If cultivation means to sleep in such a small room, then I don't want it."
Alex looked at him seriously and Gabri quickly said: "It's a joke, but this place is really small. Back at home, I have my own courtyard and servants around me. It is strange to live alone and to be responsible for your own things."
"I know what you mean, I had a lot of servants and underlings too, but after a time, I got bored from them and went to live to a desert place. It was much better and much comfortable, you will know it after a time." Alex said and then went to his room and laid on the bed.
Gabri again did not know what to say to Alex, he was like an old man instead of someone at his age.
Not long after, two persons entered the apartment wildly and shout: "Where yore you newbies! Come and greet the elder brothers."
The voice was very arrogant and not very pleasant to hear, the owner of the voice was a young man with the clothes from the sect and looked like 20 years old. The other one beside him was the same, but he had short hair instead of long hair.
Gabri, who was resting in his room, was woken up by them and he was a little bit irritated.
"Who are you? Why are you screaming so loud." Gabri shout from inside his room, then he came out.
"It seems like the newbie is a little bit fresh. I think we have to teach him how to respect his elder brothers." Said the young man again and then the young man beside him said: "Yeah, come here and kneel for forgiveness! Elder Brother Go is losing his patience."
Gabri looked at both and said: "Are you the other too that live here? Why should I kneel down? Did you got brain damage or what?" Gabri could not let this go, if he had to live with these two brainasses, then he had to show his presence.
"Haha, you really think that this place is some fairy place." Said brother Go smiling arrogantly and then said: "This is place is the tiger cave, the strongest govern the weakest. Now take the spirit stone you got and give it to me, if you kneel too I will not beat you."
Meanwhile, Alex was in his room and had his eyes closed, but he was listening and 'seeing' everything.
"So the mythical brainless cultivators does exist int his world. It is nice to see them!" Alex thought while recalling the novels he read in the past.
"Should I beat them and make them take revenge later with some other personage and so on or should I let them bully Gabri so that he can grow faster? What is better? Will Gabri hate me for not helping him?" Alex thought and then said: "I don't care!"
In the other side of the apartment, Gabri was being beaten by brother Go and the other young man named Chan.
Gabri refused to give the spirit stone or to kneel in front of them, he preferred to be beaten.
At the end, they only took the spirit stone from him and went to their own room. They completely ignored Alex, it was as if he was not existent for them.
In fact, Alex did some of his tricks to make them forget that he was there and he also manipulated a little bit their memories. So, he continued laying on his bed and enjoying live.
On the other room, Gabri was on the ground rolling from one to another and the pain was taking over his senses. He had bruises all over his body and his nose and moth were bleeding a little bit.
Brother Go and Chan were both in the 4th level of the body forging, which is the realm before the first realm of cultivation. It was the first step for every cultivator in the world of cultivation. The basis were build in this pre-cultivation realm.
"I swear to destroy them sooner or later, they will learn who the boss is!" Gabri thought in anger and then sat with crossed legs and began to meditate the training method of the Prafta Mansion.
"It is good to see him working hard!" Alex thought and then stood up: "Let's see what this place can offer me."
Alex decided to go for a walk and visit the important places of the sect. This would be his home for the near future, so he had to know it more detailed. So he made his way to the center of the Prafta Mansion where he could begin exploring it and maybe finding something interesting.
