"Master… how much long do we need to do this?"
"*Sigh*Until you've completed the eighth ring around the Mana Nucleus within the Mana Core, Sailem.
Only then will you find equilibrium within your own body.
The Spiritual Energy you've accumulated until now and the Mana Energy will form together to create harmony between the two sources of raw power.
If you don't, the strain on your 12 main meridians might cause the Mana Core to crack from the pressure of Spiritual Energy Techniques.
Fuise, how are you coming along with your training?"
"Hmm… Okay, I guess, Master.
I'm just trying to understand how to regulate the two opposing energies according to the technique scroll."
"I see…
Don't think of the energies as opposing forces of one another, but rather see them as two different sides of the same coin."
Kizelar watched over his two Personal Disciples in his spare time.
The training schedule enabled the duo to reach great heights while practising two different sources of energy which was known to be dangerous and highly fatal.
Only a few people were capable of such a feat, so Kizelar decided that his Personal Disciples had to be the very best of the Space Ark.
Already the duo showcased their abilities while hunting within the Elemental Dungeons of the Space Ark.
Once Isabelle established the first few Spatial Dungeons, which contained cities on certain Levels but also allowed for a amalgamation of all the different Elemental Dungeon characteristics and the vast amount of beasts and creatures spread across the Spatial Ark Star World.
The two found themselves on a leader board that showcased their efforts within the various dungeons.
This both surprised Kizelar and infurated him because he saw how close other students of the Masters within the Spatial Ark Star World were.
Most trailed behind by a few dozen points which meant the death of several extra beasts at most.
Kizelar expected Sailem and Fuise to be at the very top, leading by several hundred points at the very least, but after reviewing their previous training schedule, the scholar decided to increase their workload.
Sailem found himself wanting to quit a dozen times per hour, but he continued to push on because Fuise wouldn't give up.
.
Other Masters across the Spatial Ark Star World also improved the training schedule of their students and disciples.
Elven Alchemists were racing around to increase the production rate of potions and serums to meet the demands of the Masters.
In some cases, the orders requested thousands of potions, pills, and serums to help advance their students ahead of others.
Their reasoning was deep space within the Tartarus Zone and outside of the space anomaly as well.
The decision was to first secure the Solar System before heading further out into deep space however a small fleet was expected to head out towards a specific set of coordinates.
Esmond established the mission quite some time ago however his attention was on the Tartarus Zone, leaving Carter to deal with its progression instead.
So far, Carter sent out the wide range of skills and abilities required to be considered for the mission.
This included taking part in the Interplanetary Training Program and possibly learning a separate craft or field of knowledge like engineering.
Sailem and Fuise were quite high up on the list of individuals considered for the mission, but Carter still hadn't confirmed anything just yet because he expected to see others appear with greater skills within the next few weeks.
With more people taking the time out to go hunting within the dungeons meant the potential of the youth increased dramatically each day.
.
"You know Master, it would be more beneficial for us to use the new Educational T&D Pods made from Spiritual Essence infused materials."
"Oh… you think so, Sailem…
How do you feel about completing your daily training two times over today?"
"… Forget I said anything." Sailem sulked as he finally finished establishing the eighth ring around his Mana Nucleus.
"Master, Brother Sailem didn't exactly make a bad point.
Why exactly aren't we able to use the Pods?" Fuise didn't see anything wrong with the machines because they could experience the VR games to a greater level.
For Fuise, it helped him be a better Mech Pilot within Stellar Wars, whereas Sailem enjoyed the power afforded to him within The Renaissance of Urophael.
"Stupid fool, did you just hear what I said to Sailem?"
"I did Master, but I still don't understand what's wrong with the Pods.
If its something serious then we can warn others of the health problems before it becomes too widespread."
Kizelar had to stop for a moment and understand what his student truly meant.
Where he might hide the information to further his students, they themselves were concerned with the effect on the whole population.
'*Sigh* The younger they are, the healthier their thoughts are.
I might as well let them know.
Let's see what it can accomplish.' Kizelar thought before he explained the reason by his decision to stop them from using the Pods.
"They might improve your ability to retain information and possibly help you learn some new skills; however, you will become dependent on the machine in the future for growth.
Its best to train without the machines to advance your skills.
Even the newly developed ones are only effective because of the Spiritual Essence infused materials which also means the machines will become part of your strength, much like Spirit Weapons.
You might end up focusing too much on the Spirit Tool to advance your strength which isn't good either.
That's why I don't want you guys relying on them.
If you want to play those VR games, then I don't mind but please do not use the Spiritual made ones until I say so.
I think there are a few issues with the Pods system but after they are repaired, it might become part of your training regimen."

"Breaking News!
Liber Tellus Global News has sent high-profile individuals across the global into turmoil with startling allegations being made of their criminal conducts.
Jimmy Savile, Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and many other individuals were addressed by the journalists who published the report for the world to see.
Government agencies across the globe are working around the clock to follow up on the allegations to find any evidence to back up the claims.
The most unsettling claims have been made against a member of the British Royal Family, leading the Queen to make a public statement on the report, saying they will be conducting their own investigation of the news report made by Liber Tellus Global Media.
Public outcry has largely been directed at the failure of government services for failing to provide a sense of security to the people.
In the case of Jimmy Savile, the British police force is being scrutinised for forcing victims to withdraw their claims.
By saying their claims might cause them to lose everything to paying court fees, majority of the victims saw the policing service to have failed them in every way possible."
"For God's sake!!
Somebody grab Savile and lock him up while the others should find out everything about these claims right fucking now!!
Why the hell did this have to happen during my tenure as the damn Prime Minister…" Gordon Brown cursed at himself and the staff as his headache worsened with every passing hour.
More information would be revealed, showcasing the failings of the police force to enforce the law on a celebrity and supposed national treasure and icon.
Gordon wanted to be ahead of the game and save himself from political suicide but just as he thought everything was alright for the moment, Liber Tellus Global News reported numerous failings of the government to keep everything hidden.
The British government wasn't the only one to find itself in a bad situation, with the Bush administration being caught out with the scandal that was the Iraq war.
Reporters from Liber Tellus Global News explained how the Bush administration lied to gain a foothold within the rich oil nation, while gaining a foothold near Russia.
President George Bush and members of his administration tried to protect themselves in the media by denying the report however the substantial evidence gathered with Carter's help, allowed the report to maintain its authenticity.
It also allowed Liber Tellus Global Media to gain an audience who believed them to be reliable and unbiased.
Regardless of which side you supported, Liber Tellus News Media made sure to release anything newsworthy if it meant to ensure the survival of governmental institutions.
Some people even tried to figure out the people behind the organisation, however nobody could chase after the insane trail Eddie created to hide the ownership of Liber Tellus News Media.
Only the CEO was aware of Esmond's existence, even though they only ever met through the company's own video calling technology.
She was an Operative of the Shadow Intelligence Agency; however, her job was to use her position to network with other high-profile members of the corporate world while the media organisation released the hidden truths of the world.
Esmond wasn't entirely aware of the situation on Earth since his mind was focused on the Tartarus Zone, but through Carter he came to understand Liber Tellus News media was changing how people viewed 'uncontrolled' and 'monitored' journalism, even in the 'free' world.
Yet nobody realised the same media company was restricting any news from leaving Africa or Yemen that might alert the outside world to the massive developments across the continent.
A big part of this was the increase wildlife that retuned through the assistance of the Spatial Ark Star World populating the land with animals long thought to be extinct or just few roaming in the wild.
But the main piece of news was the creation of hundreds of cities across the entire continent that housed millions of people within each one.
It also was the perfect place to release citizens of the Spatial Ark Star World onto Earth without any prying eyes on them.
A large number of the Ark Citizens were taking over administrative and official positions that were known to be affected by corruption.
It was done this way to establish a strong and independent government which could rely on itself eventually.
The positions were being filled up over time by African citizens however new laws were set in place to ensure educated people with qualifications could only fill the position.
This meant a great deal of people entered the new education system that was enforced by the African Alliance as a necessity for all children and teenagers.
Even universities and technical/manual Institutes were open to the public and made free so a great number of people could be educated as soon as possible.
While this meant great things for the people of Africa, it put a few powerful nations on alarm, because the resource rich continent would be out of their grasp.
Thankfully the governments of these nations were having a hard time surviving under public pressure after Liber Tellus News released haunting reports, one after another.
