RAY POV
'thank god he at least knew the basic footwork since it made this easier. it would be a pain in the back to learn everything again though this was also trash ' After the sword training Ray felt that his progress was humiliating he thought that he was weak as hell as he couldn't fight against one man little did he know that
JAYDEN POV
Yesterday when I met Ray I couldn't believe my eyes that kid was awakened and he was not even 13 years old he was a kid with white hair and red and gold eyes his eye so cold and emotionless I reached the mansion where I met the famous Alia Sawyer a magic instructor famous for traumatizing her students but those who passed her training are monsters, for example, the 2nd prince he almost wiped an entire forest filled with monsters a single attack we greeted each other. as we were talking a maid came and informed us that we were called to the training ground we went to the ground.
He greeted his voice cold as a glacier like he had no emotions I was shocked but looks like this kid is interesting. since I was young many fewer things piqued my interest I why but it just didn't but soon my interest was piqued by swordsmanship and fighting so I started fighting the stronger or stranger the opponent the more excited I became this resulted in me becoming a battle junkie after so many years something or someone except fighting piqued my interest. the next day I went to the ground to exercise as I was exercising Ray came to the ground to my surprise he greeted me I thought he would ignore me like other kids and started exercising
After two hours he stopped then I asked "Do you know the basic moves" 'Yes" he replied with the same cold voice 'this makes it easy' we started sparring for the first few rounds he got thrown here and there like a rag after a few rounds he suddenly started following my movements I was surprised even though I suppressed my strength it was still impressive he slowly started defending and after a few rounds he started attacking back he was developing at a terrific rate and after a few rounds he started holding his ground I was shocked at his progress and if this continued he might just need a few years to catch up to my full strength. I told him this was enough for today but he looked disappointed in himself.
THIRD PERSON POV
Ray went to the magic training room Alia was meditating while her body was levitated in air there were three colored particles revolving around her body there when he entered he was drawn in by the luminescent light as he was staring she suddenly said "today first we will form your mana heart although you have awakened you have not formed a core nor a mana heart because of which you cannot absorb mana so today we will form your core beware it is a painful process if you want we can first build your theoretical knowledge and pain threshold." "no need for that ma'am, we must hurry and first form my mana heart" Replied Ray "ok but remember the longer you hold the more stronger your founda--- " as she was talking Albert entered the room Alia stopped and bowed to the duke nodded and she got up and the Duke said to ray" here use it to make your core" and tossed a golden stone towards Ray was startled "what is this father?" asked Ray " a S- rank core" "WHAT a S-s-s rank core" "yes use it to make your mana heart" said the duke this moved Ray even if he couldn't feel emotions one thing that even the broken villain or the emotionless Ray liked was MONEY!!!!!!!!!
he handled it like a baby he then sat down cross-legged in the famous lotus position and put the core in his hands and started meditating Alia put her hands on his back and said " I will now guide the mana in your body try to rotate it in a cycle around your body try to bear with the pain" and guided the mana of the core around his body from head to chest then from chest to the core and then to his joints then back to his heart after one cycle was completed Ray said "It's okay, I will handle it now" alia looked at the duke he nodded and alia went away
Ray started to circulate in his body and soon a sharp pain assaulted him it was as if his whole body was being bitten by ants or someone was poking him with thousands of needles. the impurities that were in his bones in the depths of his cells were oozing out of his body this continued for what seemed like an eternity for Ray although, it was only for two hours the mana in the core had nurtured the cells and his body as a whole to it's most optimal state soon. blood was coming out of his pores he was strengthening his mana and aura veins after an hour the floor was stained with blood sweat and the black goo that had oozed out also had stopped the mana too stopped nourishing his body the core unbeknownst to him had long turned into dust Ray started to concentrate the mana in the region below stomach and then he started revolving the mana around the region slowly the mana became cloud of gas at first it was undefined but slowly the more mana rotated the undefined cloud slowly became a smooth orb that kept rotating slowly in his stomach he circulated t
hen mana to his joints this was a method that a gamer later discovered since the game the degree of freedom the player tried to make a mana core by using two core to the gamer communities surprise he accidentally formed two cores it was later explained by the developers after the first core is formed the players can make another one if mana is still left this was a huge change in the game he planned to use this method to make as many mana cores as possible but seems like he could only make six at most although two core could make a huge impact on the world after forming more five cores one at the brain two at shoulders two at the knees if the word got out he might be hunted down by the greatest magicians just to get out the method to to make these cores after
this he formed the mana heart meanwhile outside more than 5 hours have passed the Duke was as if his eyes would just pop out of his sockets since Ray has broken the record of the founder of this kingdom and his father who are said to be the most talented individuals in the history of the kingdom. But the duke was immensely proud 'Elsa our son is very talented I hope that you are happy seeing this' soon after another hour ray opened his eyes his both eyes were shining. "make sure nobody knows his record or you will be hunted by the whole lionheart duchy " the Duke said in an authoritative tone Alia subconsciously said yes back to ray he was now starting to apply the technique to collect mana this time with minimal effort he could sense and see the particles he soon saw the groups of particles trees had brown and green particles the ground had brown particles whereas the pond had blue particles as he thought he could only see those he suddenly sensed more particles pitch black warm yellow orange and yellow and even bluish white as he identified each color he got to know that he could sense all types of particles ' could this be my second cheat' he tried to call the particles near him as I asking a child to come after trying once five to six types of particles came quickly and latched onto his body and after a few moments all other particles cached up and latched onto his body he then absorbed them into his body he countinued it he no longer couldn't and passed out
