After Nile calms down ,uncle James asked,"why don't you ask your mother to teach you about it?"
"You think I didn't ask.Mama says that she is far too old to engage in Master-disciple relation now. How am to argue that," replied Nile.
'Yeah more like too lazy to teach , this laziness of Veen never changes,'thought uncle James.He said to Nile,"well then I do have a candidate who can guide you,but you must promise me you will not back down when I have talked about it to him."
"Oh really uncle,you know someone in the town who can teach me ,thanks a lot uncle James," saying so Nile moves inside the wagon seeing the the carvan started moving.
Uncle James takes reins of the wagon and the caravan starts moving. Nile sitting in the wagon looks at his mother and Jessica talking and laughing with each other and feels happy as well.
As he sat there he remembered something and reaches inside his bag to search and brings out a gift packet. Looking at it he thinks,'Frost must have left some clues if they have really left themselves like mother is telling me.'
He opens the gift box and a simple bracelet 1 inch broad and 15 cm long comes out . Looking at the gift bracelet he looks up to Jessica's hand having a same bracelet.
He realises it was an ASD (awakened support device). A device every child gets when he start his school studies.
He was always interested in these devices but Jessica never allowed him to touch it. Now he had his own ASD. Feeling happy he straps the device around his wrist but he is not able to wear it properly. Seeing uncle James busy with the car driving he decided to ask him about it later.
Suddenly feeling a gaze at him he looks up to find Jessica looking at him. He asks ,"something on my face". "No ,nothing ,"replies Jessica."Do you want some help with that,"asked Jessica. "No no, I will ask uncle James," hesitated Nile. "Come here Nile," called Veena."Let her help you." Hearing his mother he obediently went to sit beside her.
Taking the bracelet Jessica asked,"let me warn you, the path of martial is very difficult ,you must remember that neither talent not ability not background nor luck will take you far on this path the only thing that can take you further and further on the path is your iron will ,your endurance and patience."
Listening to her Nile queries ,"why do you sound like mother so much." "hehehe," jiggles Veena ,listening to the children's conversation. Though feeling irritated Jessica calms down and explains ,"well ,you see, aunt Veena has been giving me lessons, so much of my knowledge and habits comes from her ,now shut up and focus."
Feeling the seriousness Nile starts paying attention.Jessica continues," this ASD is the most important tool for those striving on martial path, the main functions of this device are to monitor and the body 24/7 and provide morning for any improper practices being done as one cannot know what's going inside his body."
"At least not until someone has achieved inner vision to monitor their body themselves," added aunt Veena. Listening to his mom Nile asked ,"what is inner vision?" This time Jessica explains ,"inner vision is a state where one can vision their whole body in virtual space, right now if you close your eyes and meditate you will not be able to stabilize any pictures at all but as one gets awakened and continues to enhance his body their comes the time when their spirit grows strong enough to open minds eye and allow us look inside our body."
"That's some complex thing to do,"said Nile, captivated by the new finding. And he asked,"so Jessica are you able to look inside." "No dummy I am not yet able to open my mind eye but I have hope of achieving it in 9 to 10 months,"says Jessica proudly.
"Now let's move on to this device, in order to wear it you must bind it to yourself. But as you cannot manipulate the Mana much less your spirit, like every other starting student you need an experts guidance to bind it. Fortunately I have mastered spirit manipulation. Now brace yourself ,for it might be painful," saying so Jessica reaches for Nile's hand, placing her fingers on his nerves, she closer eyes.
Mimicking her actions Nile also closes his eyes. After sometime Nile feels a flow of heat entering his body from Jessica is fingers moving up in his arm.It felt like a warm moving in his body making him tickle with sweet pain. The pain grows as the flow moves further and further in his body, first moving to chest through various paths, then to other hand, after that to legs and then to his head.
As the flow reaches his head the pain intensity reaches an extreme. Clenching his fist and his teeth Nile endures the pain. At a certain point the the flow takes the shape similar to a spider web with centre being at the chest.
"The pain is gonna increase," warns Jessica. Embracing himself for the pain increase, Nile felt a unique cool flow generating from his forehead with extreme pain and slowly moving downwards towards the centre of the web. After enduring the pain for some minutes the cool flow is captured in the centre of web. Then the whole web start contracting towards jessica's fingers leaving his body so in pain.
As the cool flow reaches his wrist Jessica makes sudden move cutting a wound on his wrist from which flows out the blood. The cool flow now free from the web moves towards the wound and in Nile's astonished vision the wound starts healing at extreme speed. Before the wound could close Jessica strapped the bracelet which magically absorbed the blood and the cool flow also got assimilated in the bracelet still covering the wound.
As the wound closes down Nile felt extreme pain throughout his body and a great mental fatigue. Veena reaches for Nile as he lost consciousness. She gently laid him down in her lap. Looking up at the girl Veena says ,"Dear child thank you, come here and rest ,you also have exhausted yourself."
Following Jessica also lies down beside Veena. Caressing both the children's forehead Veena thinks,"in the end your son decided to follow what you never wanted, I hope when you see him you could control your emotions."
In such a way the caravan continues travelling for hours.
