"This is the final class I will give you before you can be considered to be able to walk free."
His brows shot up. "Was I a prisoner?"
She laughed, "I had to be sure that you would not malfunction on the way."
He paused. "You mean I could one day just… stop?"
"Every morning and evening we have been sending oil into your body."
"Wow, you mean like when I sleep?"
"Yes."
"Is that what I will have to keep up with for the rest of my life?".
"Not necessarily."
"So, it could change?"
"Yes."
"How can it change?"
"Well… cultivation is the least… troublesome."
"So, can I learn about this cultivation?"
"Of course, that was what I was going to teach you in fact."
"Wait, but could I learn about the other ways of maintaining myself"
"You could become a harvester."
He went through a few speculations in his head but none looked to be quite pleasant or polite.
"What does a harvester do?"
"Well they harvest parts from others of their kind."
Peter's mouth dropped open and he stammered until Mrs Rose Marilyn spole.
"Of course, there is the getting the person in a position to give up their parts which can be forceful or expensive."
"The latter is what some people make money off of, you know? They get a Cyborg willing to endure pain or constant procedure. It's just like those who sell their Soul Space."
"What is a Soul Space?"
"I'll let you know when you need it, now let's get to cultivation."
"You did not talk about the other means of harvesting."
"Kidnapping."
"Ahh." His voice trailed until he was quiet because he was potentially a target.
"I know what you are thinking, but if you are a cultivator how can you don't have to fear being a prey because you can become a predator."
"Nice, how do you I become a predator?"
She laughed and wondered accurately that Tumunomi Escaver might like this version of his friend.
No, roommate, because even if he got close to Peter it will neer be to Derek's level.
Or did Tumunomi Escaver have a preference of men? That would explain a lot. Still, she did not care.
"So, yes, Cultivation is expanding your potential over and over."
"You begin by surpassing your first limit which we will represent as '1'."
"When the limit is first broken you enter into a Trilogy. Every trilogy has 30 levels divided into 3 stages for every ten."
For example the first Trilogy has 3 levels namely;
"Divine Early Levels 1 to 1
"Divine Medium Levels 1-10."
"Divine Late Levels 1-10."
"So the first Limit of '1' gains another potential of '1'. Which is 1+1=2"
Mrs Rose Marilyn stopped there.
"That will be all for now, any questions?"
"If everyone's potential is at 1, won't that make kidnapping beneficial for the predator cultivators who begin first?"
"You are a part of Spencer's School, if only you knew what that means. Nobody can touch you."
His heart wanted to feel safe at her words but his mind warned him not to ask too much. So, a silence dragged on and nobody disturbed it before she continued.
"Also, what everybody's 1 is at what point they breakthrough. For instance do you know that when you negin cultivating in our planet of Hyol, you get access to Divine Energy."
"Divine energy makes up nearly everything all around us. It is almost as important as mass and space and time. However, there are other sources of energy."
"Take Chakra wielded by Shinobi, Chi wielded by the Samurai, Qi wielded by Martial Sects, Prana wielded by the Zealots and so forth."
"Before cultivation, these other forms of energy can be used. So, imagine with me tha before cultivation you have a sizeable amount of Qi in your body."
She kept queit to let him understand.
"Now imagine if you added Prana or Chakra to that?"
She let him think again.
Finally, you then broke through and became a cultivator after mastering various forms of energy too?"
"What would be the potential limit of be like for you if it is compared against someone who only trained his body or someone with only one form of energy in him?"
"Ahhh, I see."
"Also, before I change the subject back to Divine Energy, picture that each of these places have storage organs in the body created with techniques, implants, meditation or visualisation."
"Your Ko-jin core - Divine Energy is also known as Ko-jin – will naturally strive to match the organ or organs that hold these other forms of energy."
He smiled and looked at her.
"So, do I get to wield other forms of energy?"
She smiled but changed the topic, dampening his mood. "Any other questions?"
He wanted to repeat his question from before but changed it on on instinct.
"What are the difference between the levels and stages and Trilogies?"
"Good Question!"
She flicked her hand and 10 square meter board floated in the air.
"Each Level and Trilogy signify something. Let us begin with the first Trilogy."
"Vessels, capillaries, hormonal glands, synapses, and every transportation path in your body."
"Divine Early Level Ultimately helps with setting up your Ko-jin tendrils and the beginning of modifying your Meridian System."
"Divine Medium Level is where Ko-jin nodes begin to appear in the bones."
"Divine Late also sets up Ko-jin nodes in your bones. It is also the final chance of setting and finalising your Meridian System."
"You told me that I will remember everything I hear because of the chip right?"
"Yes, it is also what helps with your visualisation process. See, the way you remember things can help you create scenario us. For example if you wanted to study a punch you once saw a year before, you could replicate it over and over and over until your perfected its imitation."
"Wow, and this will grow with me?"
"Of course."
"Hmm, I like it. Please go on Mrs. Rose Marilyn."
"Okay, Divine Early 1-3 spreads Ko-jom tendrils to your organs, other specialised tissue with distinct structures like adrenal glands and finally hormonal glands. Thus, the difference between cultivators of the same rank is how many organs were connected to."
"Divine Early Level 4-6 connects to bones, like beared to a chin. Again it helps to connect as many tendrils as possible between the joints and around the entire individual bones."
"Finally, 7-9 does the skin. Here, os sorely advised to spread them out as much as possible."
"Then, Divine Early Level 10 is gaining enlightenment on what you want your meridians to be. You have to call them out and begin forming their complete form. When it is done – that is when you have the form down – you can move on to Divine Early Level 11."
She smiled at his half bored eyes.
"Don't worry I won't give you any moe information."
He wanted o alute but she raised her palm and he paused.
"I would advise that aby time you get cut, you should attach that piece back until Divine Early Level 11."
"Why?"
"Well, the wires and some components are not originally a part of you. So, you will have to manage it until it does become a part of you."
He hen realised something. "Sorry, you said that I could heal when I cultivate."
"But, of course."
…
Peter's breath was quickened as he went through his memories and replayed the conversation.
Peter could not wait to begin cultivation!
He could only imagine the look on his roommate's faces.
Oh, wait!
The boy then literally did it and saw his friends in awe and shock, with he standing above them.
Laughing to himself he picked up the weapon he had chosen to begin bis practice.
