Kai awakened from a peaceful slumber on a delightful Saturday morning, ready for a fulfilling day ahead.
With no school tasks to worry about today, his thoughts centered around yesterday's classwork as well as conversations with the system as he prepared for the day.
He couldn't help but wonder when he would finally reach the Novice Rank and unlock the missions that would lead to the expansion of his abilities.
Feeling a bit sleepy after practicing throughout the night, Kai decided to take a short nap; after two hours of restful sleep rejuvenated him in preparation for the tasks at hand as routines like exercises along with some light stretches would equally energize him both physically and mentally.
As the afternoon arrived, Kai retreated to his room once again, determined to gather spiritual energy. He activated his skill, focusing his mind on the task at hand.
Nearly two hours passed as he immersed himself in the cultivation practice.
Suddenly, a voice resonated in his mind, interrupting his concentration.
[Ding!]
[Your spiritual energy stat has increased by 5.]
[Your experience has increased by 4.]
His excitement peaked as he realized the progress he had made.
He stopped his skill and hastily opened his attribute window to confirm the increase in his spiritual energy.
The window displayed his updated stats:

A wide smile spread across Kai's face as he marveled at his progress.
His unwavering resolve had fueled him towards inching closer to his ultimate objective at each step of the way.
Satisfied, he closed down the attribute window before heading off for a delightful dinner filled with amiable conversation alongside his loved ones.
After dining together, Kai returned to his room, eager to resume gathering spiritual energy.
With a goal in his mind to quickly break through to the Novice Rank and have the system reach level 1, he activated his skill once again.
The night stretched before him, and he was determined to make the most of every moment.
Hours turned into minutes as Kai immersed himself in rigorous training and cultivation.
The room resonated with the sound of his techniques, his determination unwavering.
The night wore on, and as morning approached, a notification from the system interrupted his practice.
[Your spiritual energy has increased by 3.]
As Kai evaluated his progress in gathering spiritual energy for another day, confusion showed through his eyes when he noted growth smaller than yesterday's result.
After some consideration, he recalled Master Liang's teachings about the challenges of gathering spiritual energy beyond the threshold of 80 units. It seemed that reaching 100 units would require more time and effort.
Resolute in his determination, Kai calculated that it might take him approximately five more days to reach 100 units of spiritual energy.
Determined, he continued his routine, knowing that patience and perseverance were essential on his path.
Patiently proceeding to stick with every essential exercise and demonstrating perseverance by keeping the focus on his goals, Kai set aside cultivation temporarily while getting ready for school, excited about the day's activities that lay ahead.
Kai's morning started meeting up with his friends at school (Aoi, Leon, and Ethan) who had all chosen the combat department as they had discussed the day before.
They exchanged excited glances, knowing that they were about to embark on a path filled with challenges and growth. Today marked a significant step forward in their martial arts journey.
Upon arrival at class Kai handed in his completed form Master Liang congratulated him on making such a great choice alongside his comrades.
Master Liang then introduced Sensei Mei – a distinguished practitioner who would lead their training along this exciting new journey which Kai knew he'd be enjoying every minute of.
Sensei Mei's entrance took over the room – gracefully showcasing both strength and grace; earning everyone's respect without saying a word before greeting them warmly.
She went on to give everyone an overview of what they'll be doing while learning within the combat department - skills she will teach include:
* Hand-to-hand combat
* Weapon mastery
Sensei Mei explained how she planned to develop each pupil mentally and physically throughout training making preparing each student for whatever life might throw their way.
Kai and his friends hung onto every word spoken by Sensei Mei enthusiastically, fueled by the knowledge that they were part of something special within the combat department.
Throughout the day, Kai along with his companion strived towards becoming better at martial arts under Sensei Mei's teachings.
They pushed themselves through demanding drills while engaging in resistant sparring techniques that tested every combat skill set learned.
However, giving up was never an option for them since it allowed both individual growth and teamwork spirit enhancement; further energized by focusing on the arduous challenges ahead of them.
The last lesson of the day drew to a close as Kai and his companions expressed gratitude to Sensei Mei before hitting the road toward home.
After pushing themselves hard in training, they were feeling drained and in dire need of relaxation.
Engrossed in lively conversation during their walk back, they shared stories from class while also discussing individual aspirations.
