"Huh,why me?"
"Are you going to fetch the breakfast?" saying so Jessica points towards the centre of camp where everyone was gathering to take their share.
Looking at it Maya peeks at Roni who also got dressed and is moving towards camp fire she says,"alright, bring my share as well."
Jessica says,"I knew how lazy you are,"and moves on to bring the breakfast.
Maya looks at Nile and starts speaking, ,"listen properly I won't repeat. First 15 Numbers with capital letter between are unique id of your ASD.
Then there are parameters.
First is the mana holding capacity of your Body which is generally in decimals for newbies like you.
Then there is the limit value of of mana capacity which is 10 points. It is the limit that you have to achieve by training your body. Once you achieve it you will have achieved Stage 1 of level 1."
"Yes it is 0.07," agrees Nile.
"Is it good or bad," Nile asks excited about it.
"First, stop exposing your specifications. Mana specifications being exposed is nothing big but never expose them so rashly and never ever think of exposing your spirit specifications,"Maya raises her voice.
"Huh,can I not even tell mama about it?,"asks Nile.
"Well , it's not about who you tell it to but it's about who you can trust so much. You are just a greenhorn so might not know. I have heard news of even closest family bonds being useless in the face of temptation that power holds,"says Maya.
Nile swallowing hard nodded his head.
"Now we move on to the last two. One is your spiritual energy capacity and other is the spirit imprint capacity. Generally spiritual energy capacity varies from decimal digit to 100. There is no limit defined for this as there is no public method of cultivating this limit. But there is no upper limit for it either because as the spiritual energy increase in spirit sea so for this limit increase automatically.
Though there are some very dangerous private methods I wouldn't recommend you to cultivate then without proper approval from authorities.
As for spirit imprint capacity every one is born with a unique spirit imprint residing in the spirit sea with the capacity being set at 10."
Nile opens his mouth to ask something but Maya shuts him off with ,"if you have any other questions ask your teacher. "
Just then Jessica comes with two plates of food. Giving one to Maya she sits beside her savouring the food.
"Where is mine?"asks Nile.
Jessica replies," you didn't ask me to bring it , go eat with uncle Sam."
Feeling aggrieved Nile gets up he asks Jessica,"Maya said that generally every awakened have a spirit imprint ,is it possible for some to have decimal digits in it."
"Well in the research studies it is found that sometimes when someone has a rare case of fortune then he awakens some unique ability patterns which merges with the very first imprint to produce a hibernating egg only in that case can imprint value fall below 1. Don't tell me your spirit value is below 1," Jessica suddenly asks very solemnly.
"Stop making fun of him Jessica, it was just a theoritical research paper from early years of of island huntings.
Don't worry Nile. This is one of the greatest problems our researchers have been trying to solve and failing for the past 12000 years. Only recently there were rumours of a successful product in the Rain Empire,one of the 3 Empires.
In the press conference they produced a slime which seemed a success but it was just a failure.Can you believe? That slime died in the middle of press conference,"saying so Maya starts laughing.
Jessica smiles at Nile while having a glint of realisation in her eyes,"listen Nile, in the 12000 years after that research paper was obtained, countless legal and illegal experiments have been done and are still going on but none of the 3 Empires ,7 Kingdoms or 12 Nations have succeeded, ever. So don't think so much. Just go eat or you will miss it."
Nile agreees and makes a run towards uncle Sam.
As Nile goes away the laughing expression vanishes from both Jessica and Maya's expressions.
Maya looks at Nile and says,"Make sure that he leaks it no one else. If authorities learned that he had decimal value then we will all be in danger."
"Don't worry I will make him understand never to leak this even by mistake.Besides I think he is just one of those rare ones whose imprints are transparent not detected by first binding. Let's just wait for him to recover his spirit and have him check his screen. By now ASD must have assimilated perfectly and detected that transparent imprint. If it wouldn't have changed then we are in for tough life moving forward."
"You make sure to do that. I just hope that he have attributeless imprint rather than those special mutations hunted for experiments," says Maya feeling worried.
While these two worry for future, Nile reaches uncle Sam and finds his portion of food already served," come Nile ,come. Jessica told me that you managed to stabilize ASD screen. I must say you have quite the concentration. Ordinary kids starting in school take 10 to 15 days for it."
"Stop feeding him praises Sam."
"Hah ,Senior I thought you were with the lady," saying so Uncle Sam stands up from his seat showing respect. Nile also stands up from the mat. A scholar looking elder comes to sit at uncle Sam's stool saying,"it's been so many years since you graduated from village school. But you still remember to show proper respect. Experiencing this I really feel that choosing to become a teacher after retirement was a correct decision."
Bringing another portion of food for the elder uncle Sam also sits down beside Nile, eating and talking.
And so Nile eats his breakfast in the dim light of early morning stars while listening to uncle Sam and the old scholar taking.
