Xadia slowly opened his eyes, and when he tried to move to stand, his body wasn't responding.
Another try and his body responded as he jerked up to sit before falling backward to hit his head on the floorboard.
"Ow". Xadia groaned as he exerted too much force to lift himself. Scanning the area, Xadia could see that there was no one else in the room, and Xadia was wondering how long he had been unconscious.
The energy from his overpowered Master was utterly aggressive, and it had been able to know everyone out, even when Xadia was trying to keep his consciousness. The master had acted up on the law of equality and had increased his energy enough to knock him out too.
"That power, it was overwhelming, I couldn't move a muscle, he just released his energy, was it that much that I couldn't even lift myself from the ground, he didn't even use it in his fight with Jake and he was that fast, no wonder he's our teacher, he's the strongest person I've ever seen,". Xadia thought.
Xadia then alighted from the floor, before walking out of the building. And he could see that it was already nighttime, and he soon made his way to the dorm room. Tyson had told him of his plans beforehand so Xadia hadn't thought about him.
He then summoned a Currell pack and after a few minutes, he was done with supper as he ensconced himself on the bed falling asleep soon after.
Waking up the next morning, Xadia readied himself for the class as he alighted from his bed going to take his bath, and after a few other preparations, he was soon on his way.
Reaching the class, Ivy was still giving Xadia the cold shoulder, and he was fine with it, if it was space she needed, she could have all it. "Who I'm I kidding, I've exhausted my energy, and I need to apologize to her so she can give me energy, she's like my battery now". Xadia thought smirking as he sat down in n his seat.
"So, have you talked to Ivy"? Tyson asked.
"No". " And why is that so". " You're asking?. Tyson shrugged. "I told you she's angry at me, I should give her some space".
"She probably wants an apology, don't you know girls". Tyson said. "Apology for what, maybe for dragging her into your mess, don't I know girls?, Sonuva bitch". Xadia said internally, knowing that would hurt his friend's feelings.
In a way he deserved it, but his comment was what made Xadia a little annoyed. It was a fact that he didn't really know much about the behavior of girls. He also hadn't had a girlfriend before, and with the words Tyson said, it reminded him of what Tom would normally say, and a sense of nostalgia escaped from him.
Mr. Harper soon entered the class and began his lecture, putting an end to his conversation with Tyson. The lesson ended and everyone was leaving for their next class, and Xadia was contemplating which he would attend today.
"So let's see, the classes are, Alchemy, Martial, Conjurers, Mutants, Research, Construction and Cultivation class". "I can only attend 5 of them, and I've been to all of them with Cultivation being the only exception, I guess that's where I'll be going today". Xadia contemplated.
Xadia soon reached his destination, as he entered the cultivation class, and there was a familiar sense of scenery. There was a green Portal in the somewhat dojo room, and looking at the Portal, Xadia guessed it lead to another space.
Xadia then walked through the portal, shifting through spaces, and at the other end he could see an empty room, and it still had the same dojo-like design to it.
The room was a 7 square meter wide room, it occurred in a way where the room would fit only one person. There was a big blue button next to the mat on the floor, and there was a lotus drawing on the mat indicating one would have to be in a lotus position.
There was a holographic screen in the center of the room in front of the mat. It had instructions and Xadia soon got in the lotus position and began to read the instructions.
It said that the button would be pressed three times. Xadia then pressed the blue button. The color of the button changed to yellow and the holographic screen changed too.
Now it was displaying a blue-colored silhouette sitting in the lotus position, and there was a line that ran from the chest to the nostrils. It had a balance scale on it, and it somewhat looked like a temperature scale.
Following the instructions, Xadia then pressed on the button again and then it lit up red, and as instantly as he pressed the button, white sparkle-like gases hissed from the ceiling and began enveloping the room.
Timing the scale, Xadia then closed his eyes and began breathing in and out focusing on the energy within and outside of him. The scale was in the middle showing that he was following the breathing techniques perfectly.
A slight miss in breathing and a warning sound echoed through the room. Adjusting himself on the mat, Xadia then began breathing again, and the scale was balanced once more.
After an hour of concentration, a ping sound could be heard and the cultivation session was over. Xadia then got up from the floor and started stretching his body.
He was in one position for an hour, and he needed a few bones to shift and escape from dormancy. "Phew, this wasn't easy". Xadia signed as he stretched.
Walking through the portal, Xadia exited the confined room, and he wasn't the only one, there were three other students who alighted from the portal with him. "I guess I'm correct, confined spaces for better concentration, that's advanced".
"Does that mean this portal alone contains up to one thousand spaces"? Xadia couldn't help but wonder as he left the building.
It was almost night time and Xadia was heeding the advice of his friend as he was on his way to Ivy's dorm. Reaching Ivy's room door, Xadia could feel an overwhelming presence in the room, and it was as if instinct took a hold of him as he quickly opened the door to the reason for his reaction.
