The next day arrived and students were free to do whatever they like with their time. The news of Vondrel a blue band student making someone who is 350 levels above him and also a red band, run away in fear spread like wildfire.
Some people couldn't believe it because it has never been heard of.
"Are you sure he really did that or the girl actually left in an hurry to do something?" a vampire named Charlie asked his friends
"Well that's the trending topic right now" Charles answered him.
"I will like to see how far he can go against me" Charming said with a glint in his eyes.
Charlie, Charles and Charming are three best friends. Charles is a werewolf and Charming is a human. Their relationship baffles people as they wondered how a vampire and werewolf get along so well, even adding a human in their midst.
"Hmm...i sense someone getting into trouble " Charles joked
"Charming just leave the dude alone, he's not up to your level " Charlie stated
........
Vondrel and his comrades get prepared for their training, they walked eagerly to the AUTA.
Upon entering the AUTA, Stelio was there to meet them. It's robotic mouth curling up into a smile as he welcomed them with his arms spread out.
"Welcome kids, I thought you won't be coming today after yesterday's training." He paused and then stared at them for few seconds.
" I can see that you have all gotten used to the ground caving in under your feet, no puking of guts ugh...anyways welcome welcome."
"Here today you will be undergoing a mind training so has to modify, strengthen and expand your mental sphere." Stelio explained what their training will be .
"But before we continue" He paused and beckoned to them to follow.
" who can tell me how human mental sphere and oval came to be?"Stelio questioned
There was a long stretch of silence until someone decided to answer.
"Humans were normal beings for thousands of years before science came into existence and development started, they began to experiment and make inventions that changed their lives, advancing them and evolving them from how they lived before science came, later on science began to develop more and more, humans experiment knew no bounds and seems unending. Until human discovered the functions of the brain and other functions of the ecosystem. They later found out about the mental sphere through the"passage of time"
"The mental sphere was formed from the mutation of the various functional components of the brain. The hindbarin which is also called 'rhombencephalon' is the central nervous system in human, the mountain which is also called 'mesencephalon' that stands as a cross section in the brain."
"the fore brain(prosencephalon), neutral pathway which connects the nervous system to another using bundles of axons called tracts, endocrine system which sends message, neuro vascular system which is the nerve cell, neuro transmitter which are released from synoptic vesicles into the synoptic cleft where they are able to interact with neurotransmitters receptor on the targeted cells and many more system and sections of the brain.
"Which all work together and mutated becoming a colorful shade of light in a section in human skull where the sea of consciousness (mental strength dwell), the mental sphere helps the brain function more than it does and help awakeners to think faster and process things at a fast rate."
"It also contributed in the advancement of science where by teleportations and other miniscule forms of technology were discovered, strong capabilities in human to are discovered."
"The mental capabilities or should I say mental capacity differs from human to human. The mental sphere of a mundane human can not be compared to that of an awaken."
"As for the oval, it is the result of the mutation from the brain which is being sent to the cells forming a mutant cell. The mutant cells come together and formed a container meant to hold the magical/elememtal energy generated from the world into humans and other races. The wideness of the oval determines the quantity of the energy the human can hold,
it prevents the human body from fallen apart due to the massive energy in them, while the oval makes the beast elemental energies become crystals that power their innate and elemental abilities. " Vondrel explained lengthily.
"Wow....i didn't know you are so vast in science and history, i now see something you are good at other than being a weakling" Stelio said
Vondrel spared him a glance but choose not to answer.
Stelio took them all into a room and asked them to enter a round shaped glass, they did as they were told.
"Relax and don't panic, just focus on the feeling. When the system notice you can't take it anymore it will push you out itself " Stelio said
They walked into the various round shaped glasses and sat down conveniently in it. The glass retracted back and stretch making them lay on their backs, a refreshing feeling washed over them, making their bodies relax. Then gradually they started feeling a prick in their head , the trend continued and the prick increased rapidly.
Pressure began to descend on their minds, the pressure increased, making them frown. A stir began in their mental sphere and their sea of consciousness began to tremble.
Sweats appeared on their faces as the pressure keeps increasing, the mental walls tried hard to protect the sphere from cracking. As the pressure mounted It later began to give in due to the increase in the pressure.
The sea of consciousness depleting at a fast pace making their minds weak and fragile, more space began to appear and their mental sphere enlarge and grew wider but weaker due to the stress.
'Tuss'
One of the glass opened and a figure was seen blacked out, then as if planned the glasses all began to open. Once it opened, a soothing feeling immediately seeped into their mental sphere making it relax.
The restless energy in the sea of consciousness begin to settle and refill itself before filling up the new space and then reinforcing the mental walls .
One persin had it worse due to not being an awaken.
Surprisingly someone was able to last longer than the rest due to certain reasons. Stelio waited for them to wake up, so their minds can relax.
"Now the next step is to train your body, you will go into that room and stand under that metal. Once you're ready, the metal will drop, all you have to do is hold it up till when you don't have the strength to " Stelio explained the next training to them.
They all walked in and stood where they were told to stand, the metal Immediately dropped, applying next to no weight at all. Then suddenly it added weight and the trend continued.
The metal tried pushing them down, but it was being lifted back up. After few stretched minutes, the weight increased further amd further until they couldn't hold it up any longer, the weight immediately stopped adding as they were about to drop it due to unavailability of strength to hold it any longer.
They all came out with sweat dripping from their faces and bodies.
"Next on the list is, reaction speed. You are to stand on a platform surrounded by four cannons. The cannons will constantly shoot balls at you the speed, force and reaction will increase after every single waves cleared" Stelio instructed.
"so what are we ought to do?" Sam asked the question on their minds
"Very simple you just have to hit every single ball shot at you precisely with a bat that will be given to you" Stelio answered
They all moved together to mini room, walking into the room they saw different machines meant for testing speed.
Grabbing their bat, they all stepped into the machine ready for work.
"Input your name in the username there, and a password for your private assess, then lightly push the green button at your right side. " Stelio instructed again
A single person will have an head start while the rest will take turns, but before that let me display specific skill for you. I'll stop at the right wave.
........
Stelio took a stance ready to knock off any ball that comes his way,....first wave.
Single ball shot out of the cannon at a slow speed, he was able knock them back successfully.
.....Second wave
The speed increased to a moderate speed
...Third wave
Stelio continued to strike them precisely till he got to the sixth wave, the speed increased and two balls were shot out each from the cannons..
They all watched closely....
"There is a timing to when the duo balls are being shot" Vondrel thought to himself
"Nice thinking, the balls are not shot once, you just have to be fast and precise. Don't worry you'll get the hang of it with practice." the blade said
.....Eight wave
'swoosh' 'swoosh' 'swoosh' 'swoosh'.....
Four balls shoot out of the cannons with speed and force, slightly pushing Stelio's hands back with each hit, but he was able to hold his ground. His hand moved in an unfathomable speed, successfully knocking back each balls . The eyes of the trainees(Vondrel and Co) couldn't follow the speed at which the balls were being shot nor the speed and precise motion at which Stelio hit them.
"This is fun but crazy " Sam exclaimed
"I would have been knocked out since if I was in his shoes " Timmy said while shaking his head
"You still have hope to go far than your friends due to your sword art and precise slash, but you still have a long way to go to be this perfect " the blade said in Vondrel's head
"I think Vondrel has more chance than we do here" Noah stated
"Yeah, he has surpassed us in all the training we have done so far, which makes me surprised how he's able to pull all this off without awakening an ability. I wonder how far he will go once he awakens an ability " Sam said while smiling
"I'm sure he will surpass Stelio once he awakens an ability " James said
"I won't be surprised if his awakening puts the red bands in shame." Sam added
They didn't know that Vondrel has once lived a life on another plane before and also his consciousness has survived a thousand years in the void, so his potential is more than they could fathom, he has an edge as his advantage. Even though his memories are still sealed, his body moves in strange ways that surprise him whenever he gets serious.
Which brings the question, what will happen once he unlocks his potential??????
'Ding'
Wave eight cleared...
Stelio stepped out of the machine...
"Now you are up, go in and show me what you got" Stelio said
........
Timmy went in first to try his luck, he pushed the the button and the first wave began...
The balls came out slow, he was able to hit them easily, then wave two...
There was an increase in the speed and force at which the balls shoot out, they couldn't use their ability in this training.
Wave three...
The first balls pushed him back slightly but he hold his footing up to the fourth wave before being hit severely and pushed back at the fifth wave.
......
Samuel tried his luck and was able to reach the fourth wave before losing.
......
James was able to reach the sixth wave before being shot by double balls at a fast rate and stronger force.
........
Noah too was able to reach the sixth wave and was even able to go beyond James score in the sixth wave and was also hit by the balls.
.......
"let's see what you got kid" the kyokai said enthusiastically
' Let's see how far the so called blessed son can go, if he can't reach the sixth then he's by no means special. Which means the heirloom chooses wrongly.' Stelio thought to himself
Vondrel stepped in and also pushed the button, he took a battle stance as if he was ready to slash multiple opponents at a time, but this time he is not with his dual blade but with a bat.
He gripped the bat firmly and was able to clear the wave more easily than his friends.
Then he got to the sixth wave and the battle began, he swung his bat at the right time able to deflect them precisely, but was still pushed back due to the force.
He immediately solidify his footing and deflected more like an expert swordsman deflecting multiple arrows.
Wave six cleared...
The seventh wave was ready but the balls weren't shot immediately, Vondrel used that opportunity to make his footing more firm and his grip on the bat stronger.
'Swoosh'
'Pah'
A single ball was sent with full speed and force which moved him from his strong footing, it came out so fast that he nearly lost it.
"The timing, it decreased by four seconds " Vondrel calculated
Keeping a cool head, he breathed calmly making it into a rhythm, as he relaxed his tensed muscles, white lines appeared in his vision.
"You sure must be the best in elementary school and your classes even in the upper class" the blade praised
'Swoosh' 'Swoosh'
More balls this time three balls were shot out and the more he successfully deflect them the more the speed and force increase, the more the time it took to be shot out reduces.
He was able to try his best before being knocked by barrage of balls after almost succeeding in clearing the seventh wave.
("_")....everyone
"How was he able to do that?" was the question on their minds
' Impressive, he's worthy but not too worthy' Stelio thought to himself not wanting to accept the fact that the kid almost beat his record at his first try, he came close to beating the record of miss Abigail when she was his age.
But it was still impressive knowing he isn't an awakener yet.
