Chapter 96 Meditation
"The right one is where you will find the training room. The left one is the recovery room. As for the middle one, this is the meditation room. It will be perfect when you will have to train your new energy." f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Hearing her, Kye got even more excited. He wanted to learn the astral ability as well, but it seems it would have to wait. So he turned toward Ras and asked. "We'll first go with the meditation room, right?" He nodded his head. "Then shall we begin?"
"Sure," Ras smiled as they both walked toward the middle door.
Aria looked at their back until they closed the door behind them. She then went to manage her territory.
As for the boys, they were shocked. Well actually, it was more Kye who was shocked. Ras was expecting such a thing coming from Aria.
The room they were in was just a normal room without any furniture. There wasn't even anything on the ground. However, what shocked Kye is that the room seemed to be filled with something. So Kye turned toward Ras to get some explanation, and as if he knew what he wanted to know, the latter answered him.
"The energy you're feeling right now is an artificial one. It doesn't seem like it, but Aria has a great thirst for knowledge. So she studied a lot about angels or even demons' energy. And even though she couldn't replicate their energies perfectly, it is large enough to help you increase your mastery over your holy energy by leaps and bounds."
Hearing his explanation, Kye got even more respect for Aria. She was even greater than what he thought. "Then Ras, what should I call you from now on? Master? Teacher? Or just Ras?" He asked genuinely.
"However you want, it doesn't matter, to be honest."
"Then I'll go with master since I'm your new disciple for the time being," He smiled before heading to the center of the room. He then sat down in a lotus position.
'I guess he doesn't know the meaning between a master-disciple relationship among monsters. *Sigh* guess we're just going to keep it this way,' Ras thought with a sad smile. But it quickly faded away and got replaced by a serious expression.
"Then what do I need to do first, master?"
"Close your eyes and focus on the center of your body."
Kye did as he was told and began to focus his attention above his navel. It was supposed to be where the center of one's body was situated. And after some moment that look like only a few minutes for him, but an hour for Ras, he began to see a ball of golden energy. It look so pure and calm that it made Kye relax.
Ras could see from Kye's face that he had finally seen his holy energy. His eyes were closed, but his eyebrows were a dead giveaway regarding that. "Now try to interact with it."
Kye didn't nod or moved his body to not lose his focus. He only did as he was asked.
Ras could see from the exterior that Kye was trying to take a portion of the ball of holy energy to try first with it. "Don't do that. You have to interact with it as a whole or else you will either lose what you take to experiment forever or suffer a backlash."
Kye immediately stopped what he was doing and began to move the ball of energy this time. It was hard, but after a few tries, Kye finally managed to move it freely around his stomach area.
"Now you will have to spread the energy across your entire body. But instead of taking a portion of the ball to put it all around your body, I want you to expand the ball slowly so that it could cover his entire body.
Kye did so, but this time, it was far harder. It was as if he was trying to expand an already stretched elastic. It took him a lot of time, and he sweat so much that a small pool of sweat was slowly forming under him.
Though, Ras was impressed. He didn't express it since he didn't want to distract Kye, but the latter was fast at learning how to control his energy. Just for the first stage, angels were taking at least a week. But Kye managed to do it after only an hour. It was the same for the second. He took several hours, but compared to the other of his kind, he was lighting fast.
The third stage was one of the hardest stages. Covering his entire internal body with his energy was one of the most difficult things he could do, especially when he only began to learn how to control his holy energy now.
Ras wouldn't have told to Kye to do that if he didn't show such talent. But since he was a fast learner, he decided to try. He thought that for this stage, he would at least take a few days since even some great beings couldn't cover their internal body. It was very very hard to do so. But those who managed to do it have their internal body as hard as steel. And this hardness could increase as their control over their energies increased.
However, Ras could only be shocked when he saw that covering his whole internal body only took Kye ten hours. Sure they were in a room where controlling energies were easier, but still. This speed was scary, even for him.
'How do things go?' Aria asked through a mind link, pulling Ras out of his thoughts. 'You are here for almost a day now, shouldn't Kye rest a little?'
'Aria, Kye is a monster,' He said with an excited voice. Seeing his disciple learn so fast was indeed scary, but it was thrilling as well.
'A monster? Like us? What do you mean-...'
Ras cut her short and talked. 'I'll explain later. I'm gonna make Kye rest for now,' He close their mind link and told Kye that their training had finished for today.
