Night fell upon the land without any issues for Kai, except for the fact that he was only 20% done with the calculations for his first spell [Spacial Blade]. However, being able to complete 20% in just 3/4th of a day was a rather exemplary achievement according to Aaron. Normally, one would take at least one week to learn a new spell of Rank 0, with the time spent to learn a new spell exponentially increasing as you try to learn higher Rank spells.
At this time, however, the system has already finished the analysis of all the spells he had been able to copy. All 8 Rank 1, and 63 Rank 0 spells! And this was a good thing in case Kai needed to learn such spells at quick notice. However, there was no rush at the moment, so Kai did not instruct the system to transfer the information into his mind.
On the other hand, Yu had successfully drawn up an even better drawing, and put away his first successful recreation, handing in the newly made one which was a lot better in terms of details.
Like him, 3 of the 4 others also handed in successfully copied work, with the grey-robed disciple examined for a while, before nodding at each of them. Unfortunately, the last youth with them could not hand in a sufficiently accurate copy in the time period and was ignored by the disciple.
"Follow me," he said while closing the door behind him once Yu and the three others had left, locking in the fourth one, his ultimate fate unknown to the others.
As they walked, the disciple in Grey robes did not say anything and took them to another room with five books on a stone table.
"You are allowed to pick anyone after reading through them and learn it. You will all have 20 minutes to first read through all the books, and then 2 minutes to decide amongst yourself and overcome any 'conflicts' of interest. Just know that some of these are better than the rest."
Yu was slightly confused but quickly remembered that the other grey-robed disciple had told him that after successfully copying the diagram, they would be allowed to learn a meditation method which would allow them to slowly increase their Spiritual Energy by just meditating using the method described in it.
Yu quickly moved up to the stone tablet and picked up all of them, and began reading without waiting for the others to pick up their pieces.
"How dare you!" one of the male disciples like himself spoke out, charging at Yu. Just like him, all of these people were of common birth, and unlike Yu; did not have much physical prowess.
Just as Kai was following the physical training of Morgan and the Magical training of Aaron, Yu was also following along with the training on the nights when he was free from etiquette lessons.
Other than the External Art, which he still did not know how to copy, hair colour, and eye colour, Kai and Yu's bodies were still identical, just as they were when Yu was first created.
Yu swept his leg along the ground and his heel came into contact with the side of the disciple's knee, causing him to immediately lose balance and collapse onto the ground.
Yu stood back up, looked at the remaining male and the other female item production disciple like him, and said slowly, "I will be going through them all first and choose one for myself. It won't take more than 10 minutes. You guys can then have the rest."
As he said that, he made sure to place his foot on the throat of the collapsed disciple, making him cough and choke, unable to take in a breath.
The grey-robed disciple chuckled as he left the location, leaving behind words of warning for Yu.
"Make sure no one dies or is damaged beyond repair."
Yu grinned upon hearing that as he turned to the other two disciples, waiting for an answer.
"Alright! Just don't hurt us."
The female disciple just nodded along with the male disciple.
"Good."
As Yu was reading through them, he made sure that the system was recording it all, since it was simply impossible for him to learn everything by heart within a few minutes.
Unlike what the system could do with Kai, directly scanning two pages at a time without Kai having to read them, Yu had to actually read all of it for it to be sent as comprehensible words through the could connection he had with Kai and be stored into the system.
A minute later, he had finished one book and placed it onto the stone table, while also lifting his foot off the struggling disciple, who gasped for breath, unable to have any thoughts of revenge for the moment.
Another minute later he placed the second book, and in just five minutes he had gone through them all. Yu picked up the second book he had read and turned to the others.
"The rest are yours"
Yu moved to the side and began acting as though he was memorising the book, while actually, he was just making the system analyse this one thoroughly to find out all weaknesses and try to eliminate them.
The system had already identified this one as the most superior one due to how detailed it was, but it still had to go through all the possible scenarios one would face while practising it, and Yu wanted it to come up with solutions for all of it.
10 minutes later, the door opened and the grey-robed disciple walked in, with a smile on his face as he turned to Yu.
"Good, everyone had selected. Follow me."
