Concordia allowed Aera's Archers to rest for a day. The following day, they returned to the Desert where their lessons resumed.
"You have successfully graduated from the Aura Of Lightning Level. Next, we will be proceeding to the Field Of Lightning Level. To understand this level, I'll need to backtrack to a topic we've discussed before namely 'Sources Of Energy'" Concordia said.
"We're listening" Mimi said.
"Energy exists all around us and needs to be absorbed into our bodies if we are to survive and maintain our 'Healthy States'. The Human Body absorbs energy from multiple sources. There is a source of energy associated with each of our Five Senses. For the eyes, Light Energy is absorbed into the Human Body. For the Nose, Wind and Chemical Energy are absorbed. For the Tongue, Chemical Energy is absorbed. For the Ears, Sound Energy is absorbed and for the Skin, Heat and Lightning Energy are absorbed. Do you understand? There are Five Basic Ways energy is absorbed into the Human Body and each of these ways is associated with a single Sense of our Bodies" Concordia explained.
"There are Five Basic Ways energy is absorbed into our bodies and each of these ways is tied to a single sense of our bodies" Mimi mused.
"Indeed, furthermore, each Sense is associated with a Single Organ System that lies within our bodies. These Organ Systems are pathways through which the Energy absorbed by our bodies from the environment is circulated throughout our bodies. For instance, the Eyes are associated with our Optical System which is an extension of the Nervous System. The Ears are associated with our Auditory System which is also an extension of the Nervous System. The Nose is associated with the Respiratory System which is an extension of the Nervous System. The Tongue is associated with the Digestive System which is also an extension of the Nervous System. Finally, the Skin is associated with the Excretory System which is an extension of the Digestive, Nervous, Respiratory and Circulatory Systems and is responsible for returning unwanted energy within our bodies back to the environment. You can see from what I've said that all these Organ Systems tied to the Senses are actually extensions of the Nervous System and are thus interconnected to one another instead of being isolated from one another" Concordia explained.
"The Senses are responsible for capturing Energy from the Environment and transmitting that Energy throughout the Body via the Organ Systems associated with each Sense. The Excretory System on the other hand is responsible for returning Waste Energy, Unwanted Energy or Extra Energy from the Body back into the Environment. All of the Energy absorbed by the Organ Systems associated with the Senses is ultimately transmitted to the Nervous System which utilizes this Energy to coordinate the various Organs and Parts Of Our Bodies. In so doing, the Nervous System also activates and sustains the Aura Of Lightning circumnavigating our entire bodies. This Aura Of Lightning is sustained by the Neurones that inhabit every part of our bodies. When the Lightning Aura within one's body is highly developed, it can undergo conscious regulation by the individual and can thus be projected past the body in the form of a Field" Concordia explained.
"Are you serious?!" Mei exclaimed in disbelief.
"I am very serious Mei. In fact, highly advanced Lightning Users can utilize the Lightning Aura flowing from their bodies to animate inanimate objects by channeling this aura in the form of a field into an inanimate object. This technique can even be utilized to revive the unconscious or to bring back someone at the brink of Death" Concordia explained.
"Amazing!" Mei and Mimi exclaimed in awe.
"Anyway, to continue with what I was saying before, a person with a highly developed Lightning Aura can consciously regulate it and can even extend it past their bodies as a field for Offense, Defense, Extra-Sensory Perception or to animate inanimate objects. How developed one's Lightning Aura is is tied to how developed and interconnected the Neurones in their body are and I've already explained earlier how this works" Concordia said.
The Archers nodded.
"For now, this should be enough. I think I've given you more than enough to mull over. You should reflect on what I've just said while resting" Concordia said.
"Thank you Lady Concordia" Mei and Mimi said respectfully with a bow.
"Please, you can just call me Concordia from now on" Concordia said as she motioned to them to return to Camp to rest.
