Chapter 3 - LOTTERY WIN AND SECRETS 3

As Qing Eena stepped out of the old pickup truck and into the Hunter School's grounds, he was greeted by the sight of dozens of other students milling about, some eagerly chatting with one another while others stood nervously off to the side. Qing could feel his own heart pounding in his chest with a mix of excitement and trepidation. This was his first day at Hunter School, and he knew that it would be a challenge to keep up with the rigorous training and education required of all Hunters.

He was quickly ushered onto a tour by one of the professors and an old Hunter lady. They showed him the sprawling campus with its various buildings and facilities, including classrooms, training rooms, and even a small arena for mock battles. They explained the different types of Hunters, ranging from those who specialized in combat to those who focused on tracking or magical abilities. Qing was amazed at the variety of skills and knowledge that the school offered to its students.

As they walked, Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the grandeur of it all. This was where he would learn to become a Hunter, where he would gain the skills and knowledge needed to survive in the dangerous world outside. He felt a sense of determination welling up inside him, pushing him to work harder and to prove himself to his peers and mentors.

The tour continued for several hours, and Qing was introduced to a variety of different teachers and professors. He was given a brief overview of the school's curriculum, which included courses on Dungeon exploration, monster biology, and combat training. He was also shown the various dormitories and living quarters where he would be staying during his time at the school.

As the tour came to an end, Qing found himself feeling both excited and apprehensive about the challenges that lay ahead. He knew that he would have to work hard and study diligently in order to succeed, but he was eager to do whatever it took to become a successful Hunter.

The old Hunter lady bid him farewell, wishing him luck on his journey, while the professor reminded him of the importance of discipline and dedication. Qing nodded solemnly, taking their words to heart as he set off to begin his new life at Hunter School.

Qing Eena sat alone in his room, his mind focused on the possibilities that his Spacetime power could bring. He had always been cautious with his power, using it sparingly and only when necessary. But now, with the looming threat of the Hunter Exam and the need for funds, he couldn't help but explore the limits of his abilities.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the energy of the universe flowing through him. With a deep breath, he opened his eyes and focused his mind on the concept of "Future Viewing". He had learned this technique from a wise old mage eons ago, and it had saved his life on more than one occasion.

As he peered into the future, he saw nothing out of the ordinary. His day seemed to be filled with mundane activities, with no hint of danger or adventure. However, as he scanned his family's future, he noticed a strange occurrence - a lottery win that would bring in a massive amount of credits.

Excitement coursed through him as he texted his Uncle Tito, asking him to bet on the numbers he had seen. He knew that Tito was always looking for a quick buck, and the promise of a 50-50 split was sure to get him on board.

As he sat there, contemplating his newfound wealth, Qing couldn't help but wonder about the potential consequences of his actions. He had always been taught that meddling with the natural order of things was dangerous, and he feared that his use of Spacetime power might have unintended consequences.

But as the hours passed and nothing out of the ordinary occurred, Qing began to relax. He realized that his power, when used responsibly, could be a valuable tool in his arsenal. He made a mental note to continue practicing his abilities, honing his skills until he could use them with the precision of a master.

As he drifted off to sleep that night, Qing's mind was filled with visions of the future, each one more exciting than the last. And he knew, deep down, that he was only scratching the surface of what his Spacetime power was truly capable of.

Qing Eena felt a rush of excitement as he saw the winning numbers flash across his screen. He couldn't believe it, he had actually predicted the lottery numbers and won! He quickly sent a message to his Uncle Tito Mintis with the winning numbers, knowing that he would be equally thrilled.

Within minutes, his phone beeped with a response from his uncle. "Congratulations, Qing! You've just won a fortune!" The message read. Qing couldn't contain his excitement and grinned from ear to ear. He had always known that his spacetime power would come in handy, but he never expected to win the lottery because of it.

As he made his way to Hunter School that day, he felt a newfound sense of confidence. He knew that he could use his winnings to fund his journey to becoming a successful hunter. When he arrived at school, he couldn't resist sharing the news with his fellow students, but he made sure not to reveal the true source of his luck.

During lunch break, Qing received another message from Uncle Tito. "I've deposited your half of the winnings in your account. Make sure you use it wisely." Qing nodded to himself, knowing that he would use the money to buy the best equipment and resources he could afford to aid him in his hunter training.

As the day went on, Qing couldn't help but daydream about all the possibilities that his newfound wealth could bring him. He imagined himself standing on the top of the Hunter Leaderboard, with all the other hunters looking up to him in awe. He couldn't wait to put his money to good use and become the best hunter he could be.

But he knew that he had to be careful. He couldn't let anyone know about his spacetime power, and he couldn't let his newfound wealth change him. He promised himself that he would remain humble and focused on his goals.

The rest of the day passed by in a blur, with Qing's mind constantly wandering back to his winnings. He couldn't wait to get home and plan out how to use his money to become the greatest hunter in the world. But he also knew that he had to keep his secret safe, no matter what.

Qing Eena had always been fascinated by magic, even before he discovered his Spacetime powers. He had studied the subject extensively, trying to understand the inner workings of spells, incantations, and enchantments. And now, as a Spacetime Mage, he had a unique perspective on magic that very few others could claim to have.

At first, Qing had thought about infusing his body with mana, the life force that mages used to cast spells. But he soon realized that this was not a viable option. Mana was unique to each person, like a fingerprint. If he infused his body with mana, he would be easily recognizable and traceable by other mages. That could be dangerous, especially if he wanted to keep his Spacetime powers a secret.

Instead, Qing decided to use the surrounding mana, the same mana that was present in the air and the environment. This mana was a "general" version, the same as the mana found anywhere, and was common among those who were exposed to mana constantly. By using this technique, Qing could avoid being recognized and pinpointed by other mages.

As he walked through the halls of the Hunter School, Qing observed the other students casting spells and practicing their magic crafting and magic inscriptions. He could see the faint glow of mana as it flowed through their bodies, fueling their spells and enchantments. But he could also see the subtle differences in the mana of each individual, the unique signature that marked them as distinct from everyone else.

Qing knew that he had an advantage over these other students. His Spacetime powers gave him a broader understanding of the universe, allowing him to perceive the intricate workings of magic in a way that others could not. But he also knew that he had to keep this advantage a secret, at least for now.

As he continued to study magic and hone his skills, Qing developed a reputation as a talented mage. But he also remained secretive and guarded, careful not to reveal too much about himself or his powers. He knew that there were those who would be jealous of his abilities and seek to harm him if they knew the truth.

And so, Qing Eena kept his Spacetime powers a closely guarded secret, while still pursuing his passion for magic and unlocking its mysteries. He was determined to become the greatest mage the world had ever seen, even if it meant keeping his true power hidden from everyone.

As Uncle Tito Mintis arrived at Qing Eena's family home, Lucio and Karen welcomed him with open arms. They chatted and caught up on life while sitting on the porch, with the sun setting behind them. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to Qing and his experiences at the Hunter School.

"I'm so proud of Qing," Lucio said, his voice filled with pride. "He's so mature for his age, and he's handling the Hunter School like a champ."

Karen nodded in agreement. "I'm amazed at how confident he is around the other Hunter Candidates. He seems to be really thriving in that environment."

Uncle Tito smiled at the parents' praise of his nephew. "He's a smart kid, that's for sure. But there's something else that's been catching my attention about him."

Lucio and Karen turned to Uncle Tito, curious about what he was going to say.

"Well, you know that lottery that I won a few weeks ago?" Uncle Tito began. "The winning numbers came from Qing. He told me to bet on them, and we won big."

Karen's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Qing picked the winning numbers?"

Uncle Tito nodded. "Yeah, he's got some kind of talent for it. And that's not all. He's been showing me some tricks he's learned at the Hunter School, like how to restore items using a secret technique."

Lucio and Karen exchanged a confused glance. "What do you mean?" Lucio asked.

"Well, he wouldn't go into too much detail, but apparently he's learned how to use mana to restore broken items," Uncle Tito explained. "It's pretty impressive."

Karen shook her head in disbelief. "Our little Qing has certainly grown up."

Lucio chuckled. "Yes, and he's got a bright future ahead of him. I just hope he stays safe and keeps on the right path."

Uncle Tito nodded in agreement. "He's a smart kid, but he's still young. We have to watch out for him."

Little did they know, Qing's abilities went far beyond what they could ever imagine. His Spacetime Power was a closely guarded secret, one that not even his closest family members could know about. As he continued to learn and grow, he would have to keep his abilities hidden from everyone, even those closest to him.
