Ren grabbed the book before finally reading it.
'Let me see what Warrior class is.'
There were only two classes in this world: Mage class and Warrior class.
Every profession that used spiritual energy such as knights, assassins, archers were grouped into one class, Warrior class.
Normally, knights and archers were in different classes, but that rule did not apply to this world.
Every profession that used spiritual energy was grouped into one class because the source of their power was the same, spiritual energy.
'Spiritual energy? Is it the same as the energy of heaven and earth in my previous life?'
A question popped up in his mind.
[Yes, Host. Spiritual energy and the energy of heaven and earth are the same. They just have different names.]
'I see.'
He was familiar with the energy of heaven and earth because candidates to be the Ruler in his previous life could manipulate the energy of heaven and earth as they pleased.
Ren flipped to the next page.
'Hmm?'
He saw a drawing of the sitting position and energy circulating on the next page.
There was also information about what it was and what to do under the picture. The drawing was simple, but the information was so detailed.
"Dantian?" he touched his chin as he said, "Dantian is a region in the body where one's spiritual energy is concentrated. It's located around stomach."
'It's like martial arts points.'
In his previous life, candidates to be the Ruler had five martial arts points in their bodies; two on the feet, one on the head and two on the hands.
The two martial arts points on the feet were for speed. The one on the head was for reflex.
As for the two martial arts points on the hands, it was for strength.
'But why is it only one? Let me check it now.'
He closed the book and sat in a lotus position, trying to feel his dantian.
To his surprise, he felt two spheres in his body; one around his stomach while the other was around his heart.
"I was wrong. There are two." he thought they were Dantians because he had not read the Basic Mage Class Guide Book.
[Host, the one around your stomach is called Dantian. People who awakened the Warrior class will have dantian after absorbing the spiritual energy for the first time.]
His system told him that the one around his heart was called magic core.
If people who awakened the Warrior class had Dantian, people who awakened the Mage class had a magic core.
The use of dantian was to store spiritual energy, while the use of magic core was to store mana.
"Mana?" it was his first time hearing it because there was only energy of heaven and earth in his previous life.
[Host, try feeling the energy in nature.]
Ren did what he was told and tried to feel the energy in nature.
[Energy that is gentle and flows like water is called spiritual energy, while tiny sparks of light in various colors are called mana.]
Ren slowly opened his eyes.
'I see.'
He finally understood the basics of the Mage Class and Warrior Class.
[Normally, an awakener can only feel mana or spiritual energy. Host can feel both because Host awakened both Mage class and Warrior class.]
The system told him that awakener was the title for someone who awakened the Mage class or the Warrior class.
"What percentage of people awaken two classes like me?" he asked curiously.
[The system has no information about it, Host. But the System believes the percentage of people who awaken two classes is extremely small.]
Ren's lips curled up into a smile because he felt like he was the chosen one. "System, there is one ring around my magic core. Is it because I'm only a 1-star mage?"
[That's right, Host. Another ring will be formed after Host breaks through to 2-star.]
"I see." Ren rose to his feet and unsheathed his sword.
'Since I don't know any magic, let me test my skills first.'
He channeled his spiritual energy into his sword, making it shine brightly.
Enveloping weapons with spiritual energy would make the weapons much stronger and sharper.
However, achieving this was not easy.
They needed to maintain the form and keep channeling their spiritual energy, so most awakeners at Apprentice rank could not do this because usually, they needed time to be excellent in controlling spiritual energy.
Ren could do this on his first try because he had done it countless times in his previous life.
No!
He also managed to master it on his first try in his previous life.
'I suddenly wonder how sharp a Common grade weapon would be after infusing my spiritual energy into it.'
When he was about to slash a tree in front of him, two magical beasts appeared.
These two magical beasts were hyenas, and both of them were at 1-star.
'Hyenas?'
Ren turned his body to face the hyenas.
He changed his target instantly because, from his point of view, these two magical beasts were better targets than a tree.
'They come at the right time.'
Before he attacked the hyenas, a quest popped up.
[Ding! Host has learned the basic knowledge of the Mage class and Warrior class. Kill five 1-star magical beasts and two 2-star magical beasts in twenty hours. After completing the quest, Host will be rewarded with 80 points, 50 system exp and Ice Clone card.]
'Ice Clone card?'
Previously, it was a random card, so he was pleasantly surprised when he knew the rewards.
'The quest comes at the right time, too.'
He would find edible magical beasts after killing the hyenas because it was almost time for lunch.
"Grrr…." The hyenas showed its fangs when Ren approached them slowly.
The female hyena was unhappy and rushed toward Ren, followed by the male hyena. The grass swayed as they dashed toward him.
Even though they were only at 1-star, but their speed was much faster than the hyenas in Ren's previous life.
"Grrr…" the hyenas leaped toward him and opened their mouths, intending to bite Ren's shoulders.
Like a master in martial arts movies, Ren still had a calm face.
He walked leisurely before finally swinging his swords twice.
*Slash…Slash…
His speed in swinging his sword was incredible fast, causing the hyenas to be unable to block or dodge it.
The bodies of the hyenas fell behind him while their heads rolled to the tree.
In just a second, Ren killed two hyenas and separated their bodies from their heads.
Maybe killing two 1-star hyenas was not hard for the Elite rank awakener like him, but killing them in a second was challenging.
Not all awakeners at Elite rank could do that, especially ordinary awakeners.
So, it could be said Ren's skills were amazing because he could make difficult things look easy.
'Even though this weapon is only at the Common grade, but it becomes much sharper after infusing my energy into it. Not bad, not bad.'
He glanced at the corpses of the hyenas before finally leaving that place.
'They don't have beast cores. Is it because they are too weak?'
He still did not know why some of the magical beasts had no beast cores.
He had asked his system, but his system also had no information about it. His system even asked him to level up his system immediately, causing the corners of his lips to twitch.
'I hope I can find edible magical beasts soon.'
