The journey commenced

Morning came up and he felt different as if he was reborn with his bones and mind evolved he could also lift a pen using telekanisis though not for long. He ran to his mother faster with a speed he previously ran with and he was happy. His mother was also happy but told him not to tell anyone of that with a serious face that was the first time for Learmar to see and he accepted it. He prepared and ran to school and on reaching people's range he slowed down. He greeted all his farmiliars while on the way. He reached school and met with his usual mates and it seemed like he alone was the nemisis of the whole class which didn't bother him and this time, his face showed that he didn't care maybe because he had matured overnight, He never bothered to talk to them and walked to his seat. The class went on as usual doing maths and some practical sciences where instead of doing it theoretically in class, they did of it manually, they were shown some of the causes of diseases and how to treat them in hospital even when they lacked precise medicine, there was always a substitute through chemistry. Later on the day, they presented their robot shells in class and Learmar started. Although its design wasn't good, his dedication was clearly seen through it, he at first thought that no one could compare to him however, everyone else's was better than him twice or even more especially the girl's called Stacy. Everyone laughed at him when the results were out but he was evermore happy about it and smiled he said to himself that he will practice harder to reach them and he closed his eyes to clearly feel the atmosphere, the shame he was feeling just made him smile but he said nothing. Stacy saw that and she was scared of what he had done. He looked at the other shells, their designs and he pictured them real good. They went deeper into robotics and when the lessons were over, he took his bag and departed early to avoid unnecessary targeting. He went to the old man's workshop and told him everything about the shells he saw in school describing them not missing a single detail. The man laughed and said that those shells weren't their own works so, he shouldn't feel bad of himself. Learmar knew that himself but said that it still hurted him very bad knowing that they were better than him. The man was impressed at his comprehension and picturing ability but said nothing, he told him that the only way to become better was by reading a lot on the topic and by constantly practising on which they immediately started. The man gave him the reference materials of his research and they did some practice with Learmar making better shells sharpening both his knowledge and shell making skills he was almost at Stacy's level but he wasn't satisfied and wanted to continue, the man told him to go home since it was already evening insisting it. Learmar went home and did the usual with his mother they played the game and he widened his thinking scopes and improved on his thinking capability that he could attempt some questions though they weren't accepted, his mother was surprised with his thinking and she smiled. They continued for a while then took a shower and when his father arrived, si the same, he took him for training they started with the basics like jogging, sprinting with Learmar going all out but to his father, it was he had just taken a small step. His father told him that he had a long way to go and his start was good. They started with the basic martial arts, fighting skills and basic poses. After thoroughly doing that, he was taken to a certain boundary of that island at a different place and told him to enjoy the view and say his feelings out, he held nothing back letting everything out, he said that he was done of being looked down upon by his peers and wanted them all tolick his shoes his father laughed and said that that was the feeling. He took him down to the rocks on the seashore and told him to use telekanisis to lift the Large rocks, he tried but it was too overwhelming, His father demonstrated and said that mental energy was as simple as that sea but his was still and to use it, he had to bring all his thoughts together and make one big wave and finally, he lifted it a massive rock and broke it to sand and illustrated all the ten levels of mental control and their uniqueness fascinating him. He told Learmar that mental energy was from a certain source and got through pills for beginners but on reaching a certain level, he could directly get it from the earth and universe at whole. It was amazing but to reach it that state, he was required to reach level 10 on which a few had ever attained even Duke Stain hadn't reached that level. Learmar's admiration for his father grew even more and started concentrating but kept on failing as if his energy was just collapsing but he never gave up trying after every failure till finally, he was able to lift a smaller rock compared to the mountain size his father lifted. After that achievement they returned home. The next day, he went to school and learnt something new, he went to the old man later and practiced on robotics, he did the same with his mother. Later that evening, his father taught him on meditation but he couldn't absorb energy from the earth for it was rejecting him and if it just couldn't even come into contact with him and he was really saddened. His father reminded him of the situation whereby the universe could reject a cultivator. Learmar said that he did and his father completed his statement saying that in that era, he was the victim. Learmar wasn't sad anymore but instead, he seemed happy as if excited to see what could happen next. His father told him that that wasn't a bad thing as a whole for while he couldn't absorb the energy from the universe naturally, he had a substitute but that wasn't the point, he told him that with dedicated practice, he could absorb the purest energy from the universe which is called Soul energy, energy obtained from souls it was from the intense emotion got from a human or even, animals but he couldn't absorb it yet for he wasn't yet matured and his dantian hadn't yet formed. He told him that he had given him an artifact dantian that he could absorb the energy from the earth and use it as his own. He taught him how to do it, teaching him the art of meditation and he started absorbing it, his father added that since it wasn't naturally his, the dantian's purpose was to convert it to what his body could use and he needed a lot to be an equivalent. His daily routine continued for the next five years and he was now 10years old. He had learnt a lot and could make a perfect robot model, his combat abilities had greatly improved and after years of dedicated cultivation, he was at Beginner level 2 and was at level 1 mental energy. He had most especially taken a lot of time to perfect his commanding and thinking skills. In the game, he could predict almost every situation and face every situation calmly and think straight. They were to graduate that year to go to senior schooling and the last exam was to make a movable robot figure in class and all the materials were ready. They were all seated in class waiting for the starting time, everyone was confident and they started after being permitted. In a little while, everyone had finished their blueprints but Learmar was still on it, drawing it as if he was living it and commanding every part to its place in relation to its core. The exam was 5 hours and he used 3 and a half an hour just making the blueprints whereas most were nearing completion. He then started shaping and hammering the materials he had done it roughly but with a lot of precision. He took his time to do every piece and assembled the pieces at his own pace and finished in the last minute. Their models were taken for grading and Learmar left early as usual with Stacy's eyes focused on him but made no move. Learmar didn't go straight to the old man this time, he went to visit his friend who learnt through apprenticeship through his father and he had experience of the city. They went to check out the city which was better than their side of the island by far. There was no single pile of junk on the road, they were clean, there were also a lot of cars with buildings glowing with life that Learmar wondered if they were still on the same island. His friend told him that there were many money making opportunities there for example, selling robot models, weapons and gaming. He took him to the gaming world and they went to a tall beautiful building. His friend Kite paid the entrance and gave him a little introduction telling him that there were 5 floors ranking from the beginner players to the higher ups in the fifth floor. There were games of every category from racing, fighting, building and all the others. Kite took Learmar immediately to a game of commanders called Luminar where you were provided with a team of five players with labels and you were to have a mask on which Kite already bought at the entrance. The mask would be the the means he would use to command the players and they could move according to his order and no one could hear his command but him.
