He watched the matches as the rest were battling and got a thing or two. Kite told him that he'd use all his savings on him so, he should win no matter what. Learmar told him that that was his first time and that he'd be against pros telling him to think of the consequences. Kite told him that he had thought it through telling him that without risks, how could they gain leaving him to go to the betting panel. Kite was sure that he'd win because he had a similar game at his house that they played with Learmar and with his skills, he was more than sure of it. Learmar went up on stage against the winner of the previous match and the man laughed on seeing that his opponent was a child not even a quarter his age. The man spoke not seeing that a sweet deal was already on the panel and he also put all his money in having nothing to lose as per his thinking. They were in two different rooms but with a transparent front. They chose their members and there was a little time to get farmoliliar with them and the terrain before the match. Learmar looked at the terrain with a lot of strategic locations, He came up with all the possible tactics that he could use and thought of all the tactics his opponent could make overestimating his opponent to the highest level possible. The match then later started and with just his first formation, he killed all his opponents pawns surprising everyone present. He won and all the money was his, Kite wasn't surprised and just took the money as if he expected that. Learmar thought that that was the end but Kite signed him up for another match betting all the money combined this time. His next opponent took the stage, he was confident and seemed experienced which made Learmar up his game. The match started and the opponent started with flashy formations thinking to surround and finish Learmar's pawns bit his move was already foreseen and Learmar set up a brutal counter finishing his opponent. Immediately after that match, Learmar didn't even wait for a second getting off stage to take Kite away leaving everyone shocked and his opponent in a state of disbelief. They had earned thrice what they had which Kite had stolen from his father. Learmar was disappointed at the players, Kite told him that they should do that more often not waiting for Learmar's suggestion and continued talking saying that he needed to return the money he had stolen. They ran to Kite's place with Learmar controlling his speed to match Kite's. He returned the money he had stolen and kept the rest for the next match. Learmar then ran to the old man afterwards. Over the years, he had been taught how to make a fundamental robot and how to program it. He was taught how to make two types based on Service and Battle and he had made many both small sized and human sized with the good equipment, great guidance from the old man, the materials were available and most especially, Learmar's great understanding abilities. The old man also taught him how to make them using mental energy which was his secret method. Learmar asked him if they could sell them all for they weren't using them and they were increasing in numbers every single day. The man told him that he wanted to but was trying to avoid attention for he valued his peace. Learmar understood that and didn't press on the matter any longer. He was at the time being taught how to make weapons and he was told that to make one, you must first be a wielder, feel the weapon you want to make and own it. He had tried it over a year but kept on failing continuously showing no signs of improvement. The man gave him some lessons on handling weapons of every type. He had also started learning of the pride of humanity the Endoarmour. It was an armour made to amplify both the qi and the mental energy of the user meant to cover the whole body and it had ten ranks based on the level of the user. They were created differently for those with mental energy and qi and for those with both. The best Endoarmour was of Duke Stain created by 100 Nirvana masters and a lot of power with all the elements present together with his two swords all golden and black and no one had seen its power yet. The runner's up was Nana's Endoarmour. According to the man, Endoarmours had two main parts namely, The Endoskeleton which was the root and the fundamental part of the whole armour. The second part was the Exoskeleton which was the shell of the suit and suits also had their own AI systems which the man had been teaching him for about five years teaching him the whole essence of it and some tricks he had acquired in his lifetime. He had been repeatedly telling Learmar that he had to make the armour alone in his own way to fully utilize the armour's potential. He told him that for a mental master, control was the most important factor and there were a lot of ways to sharpen his control and one of them was through music, that was for beginners and with time, it would just be natural and he wouldn't need a guide. They started and the man gave Learmar a pair of earpieces with a phone. Learmar was happy and promised not to let him down. They went to the refinery room and were to start making weapons manually as he was taught. He started by putting some scrap in the furnace and burnt them under high temperatures and as that continued, he put on the earpieces and put his previous phone's songs. He than took some chemicals and started mixing some rations in a certain bowl, all at specific amounts and added a little green dust and started mixing them thoroughly. He increased the heat and continued mixing. He also played a round of X Force and by the time he was finished, the scrap had melted. He poured what he was mixing to the molten mixture to remove its impurities and give it a characteristic green glowing lustre and left it to continue heating. He took some rubber to make the sword's handle. He had the precise measurements and how he wanted it to look like. He poured the ready alloy to a shaping case and put it in water to cool. He took a book given to him by the old man and started reading on the parts of the Endoarmour. Through the music, he meditated and he felt a change in his concentration and use of mental energy. After a while of meditation, the alloy had cooled but was dull in appearance. He then removed it and put it in a compressor to achieve the required thickness and polished it. He then started another part, making the sword's casing. He gathered some scrap and shaped them out. This took a while and he painted the parts, some green and some black then put them in a drier. Meanwhile, Learmar covered the sword's handle with thick rubber. He then fixed the parts he had prepared for the casing and joined them using some small nails. The sword was looking neat with a shiny green lustre. The man tested it and although to him, it wasn't to his standards, he had made a significant improvement and the man gave him credit for that. Since he had made it, the man gave it to him telling him to use it for practice. Learmar thanked him for his teachings and went on home for it was already late. He reached home and played a game before under his mother's supervision and he was already a pro, answering the questions with ease and his commanding was almost at the level of his mother. He took a shower and later after dinner, he was taken with his father to do their routine training his mental energy control was already great, he could lift a large stone to a considerable depth, to his father's full height which was by itself a great improvement, he could crush ten small stones but not perfectly. He could also absorb a lot of qi through his artificial dantian, his body training were a set of extreme exercises doing a lot of pushups under his father's pressure and a lot of situps and leg workouts. His speed had improved and he had also learnt a lot of martial arts fighting techniques. He had been training his mental energy by carrying heavy things and on telling his father on the impact of using music as a guide, his father told him that it was indeed good but he shouldn't make it be his hindrance too. Learmar's father looked up to the sky and told him that time won't always be there at their display and he said that he and his mother had to leave to do something they couldn't avoid. Learmar wanted to go with them but his father told him that a man should create his own legacy to deserve that title so, he shouldn't go with them for that was their own legacy and he should create his own. Learmar asked of the importance of a legacy and all he wanted was to love peacefully with them. His father told him that happiness is earned and true happiness comes from hardwork and not from empty ambitions. His father added and said that since he was leaving, he wanted to show him the last thing he could. He told him to take out his sword and he did so. His father showed him some basic moves which he already knew but there was something different when he did it with his father. He was shown the basic stances, how to block and how to strike which he already knew and his father was well aware but told him to feel every move with his mind till he understood it. He was told to repeat that whenever he could and told him to avoid learning other sword techniques for they will make him predictable telling him to only swing his sword under those basic moves and create his own in the process. He told him to workhard and go to the main continent. Learmar pictured the world as his father had told him, the evil people were capable of and what had been done with the powerful people he was bound to meet and he opened up saying that he was afraid. His father looked at him straight in the eyes telling him that it was normal to be afraid and, on the bright side, fear build up courage for it all depended on how he viewed the situation. He told him that there was always a way out no matter how impossible it was, there was always a way out and he just had to see it. His mother came from behind and hugged him then told him to do his best. His parents then started walking away and they turned to him, learmar looked at them and smiled telling them that he would look for them after replacing Duke Stain. His father told him never to underestimate his opponent no matter what as they walked through a void to another place. Learmar turned around and said," My legacy stars now, world, wait for me." He put on his earpieces with his favorite music on as he swang his sword like he was taught feeling every move he made.
