Chapter 3: Chapter 2
Inside a room, after Clein was brought back by Anna, the head maid of the owen family and the guards, his mother, Duchess Lania Owen of the Northern Territory of the Kingdom of Elenia, had reprimanded Clein and had been grounded, he can't go out of his room for a month. But this kind is punishment to Clein is nothing, he can cultivate inside of his room afterall. Food is not a problem either, his room is with a big wide bathroom also.
This is the first time he has been grounded because to be exact, this is the first time that he went to the forest on his own.
He have a talisman that can hide his presence for an hour and this talisman is what he use to sneak out of the mansion.
This talisman was given to him by his Grandfather when he turned six years old.
His mother knew of this and she can't help reprimand his father (Clein's grandfather) but she knew that this cloaking talisman is a good tool if any unexpected situation occurred that is dangerous to her son.
You can see Clein sitting in a meditative stance while the mana around him enters his body like a whirlpool. His current stage in mana is apprentice magi of the third level.
This shows that he is a genius, even if this level is low, but having a level like this at the age of six is something you can only see to the geniuses who cultivated at such a young age.
An average person starts cultivating at the age of ten because this is the time where they thoroughly understand how to control mana that is inside of their body. But for Clein who is titled "The Prodigy of the Owen territory", this kind of cultivation is just a childs play to him, reaching the third level for only six months after his birthday, this shows his talent and potential.
(note: mages are divided into stages, the lowes is an apprentice magi which is divided to ten level, the next is white magi which has four definite levels. which are low, mid, high and late stage, and there are seven realms above white magi before the grand mage level, the other realms are to be revealed as the story goes.)
He is practicing mana because this is the only way he can strengthen his body and so that he can breakthrough to the next level of qi condensation, this is the basic for someone who follows the path of cultivation.
Clein can use mana as a part of his body but because he needed to strengthen his body and also because he needs to slowly adapt qi in his body, the cultivation is lower that when he focus only in mana.
Like mana, qi is another kind of energy, or in another word, qi is life energy itself while mana is a spiritual manifestation of energy.
Qi and mana is all the same but, when mana is like an outer manifestation of law and life, qi is the inner representation of life.
For example, when you use only mana, you will age like normal people but with a longer lifespan and also you can use the laws of the world even not knowing the composition of that certain law, like making fire through borrowing the power of nature through mana manipulation, but this things are limited to how strong you pour mana to that certain spell.
While using qi, your lifespan becomes longer and longer with your body becoming stronger and stronger, you may age slowly and when you reach a certain realm, you won't age as long as your vitality is strong eneough. But it is harder to cultivate qi, and this is much riskier, because you are destroying and rebuilding your body and soul and if you didn't succeed on stepping to the next realm, there is a backlash that may lead to your death or being crippled for the rest of your life.
And unlike mana that can control the laws of the world, in qi, you integrate the law to yourself and produce that certain law itself, for example, you want to make fire, so you have to understand how fire is made and create it yourself or if you have martial qi fire manual then you can produce fire yourself without relying to outer help .
For now, Clein is slowly using mana to strengthen his body and slowly adapt qi in his body, this is because, his genes are made to absorb mana and not other energies.
Clein wanted to combine qi and mana but he knows that if he did, with his body that is so weak, then it will lead to his death, so a balance is needed.
Once he reach the Qi condensation tenth stage then he will have the requirement to use a certain manual he found in the ruins in his past life.
You may ask, " How can an item from his past life can be brought to this life?" .
To answer that, for a normal circumstanc, bringing a certain thing from past life to new life is almost impossible. And Clein have no skill to do that, he don't even know how he is transferred to this world.
But, there is something in his pastlife that made it possible, it is a jade marble that he found in an Ancient ruin when he is training his self for the oncoming revenge.
He discovered that this marble had stored all things that are in the spacial ring he once had in his life and there are seals that is also limiting his soul from overpowering his body that may result to the destruction of his body.
Until now, he has no clue on what this jade marble really is but is thankful because this marble saved him from being erased and helping him become stronger.
After cultivating and seeing a progress like he is nearing the fourth apprentice magi level, he decided that it is time to take a bath and rest.
But before that, he decided to check his midnscape where the jade marble is located.
There is a hundred meter tower standing in the white space in his mind, around this tower are portals where his memories are stored and above the tower is the marble jade that looks like a moon, around the moon are seals.
He can access seals that are partially opened. The tower with seven floors though, it is off limit, he can't even enter the first floor because his qi is not strong eneough to atleast stand inside it.
He thinks that if he can breakthrough to the first level of Martial qi student realm then he can enter the first level, this is his estimation for the time being. This tower appeared with the marble itself.
After taking a bath and wearing his clothes, he decided to call this a day and went to sleep. He is too weak right now, his qi is depleted and his mind is exhausted.

>DUCHESS LANIA OWEN'S OFFICE*
There is a definite silence inside the room, this is the time when Clein is inside his room and is cultivating.
Sitting in a very elegant seat is a woman with white silver hair with blue eyes. She is wearing a blue robe with a white dress inside that is making her charm exceed a normal persons perspective of beautiful, this woman is the Duchess Lania, even having three sons and three daughters, her face and body never declines, she still looks like on her twenties.
The first one to talk is Anna, the head maid of the Owen mansion.
Anna: We found the young master in the entrance of the forest, there are no other people around him. The mana around him has a definite change, he is nearing the next level of apprentice magi stage 4, this shows that he is only cultivating himself and no one is helping him, no master, this is proved to be his own hardwork.
With a smile, Anna reported every thing she investigated and thought of. Then came a knight that is the head of the squad that search for Clein together with Anna, Ren.
Ren: When we found the young master, his mana is definitely near the fourth level apprentice magi, but that doesn't made me astonish, his body is exerting a different aura like that of a sword, i don't where it came from but maybe he awakened an innate ability and being a sword mage is one of the best path for him to choose.
Ren is definitely amaze by the aura, you can only feel this aura to those who practice swordmanship their whole life and he didn't think that Clein practice swordmanship because of his age and so he described it as an innate ability.
Anna: For him to discover this on his own shows that he is truly the genius he is.
For the two people, the talent of Clein gives him a high potential to reach high standing in the Kingdom or the whole continent in the near future as long as nothing happens to him that could cause the demise of this genius.
They all are thinking that Clein is qualified to enter the most Prominent Academy in the whole continent, " Dragon Light Academy". An academy that is built by the four founder of the four kingdoms of the cotinent which the Erania Kingdom belongs to.
Only Geniuses can enter this Academy, and only the best of the best genuises can rank up to the top and have the chance to become a guardian.
But it doesn't mean that when you are in the top then you can directly become a guardian, there are trials that you should pass.
In the past thousand years, only 45 guardians had been listed from the history, this shows how hard it is to become a guardian, but in this generation, only four guardians are still alive but it is hard to see even one of them for the past hundred years.
Duchess: hmmmmm. in this situation, no ordinary tutors can teach him, he almost finished all the book in the first and second level of the libray, the third level is still not advisable to him at the moment. Maybe i should call ????, he is the most qualified to teach a genius like him.
When her two subordinates heard the persons name, they don't know how to react, that person is a real genius but his personality is the problem..
The duchess brought a blue sphere with different runes engraved to it, she poured her mana and enchanted an ancient spell then the light was shown so bright that the whole office was shrouded by this blue light.
Then a voice was heard from the spear.
????: Oh whose contacting me? Oh its you Lania, i thought you would never call me, what made you call me, " The .......
